Two Michelin stars on the fifth floor of the Mandala Hotel, glass-pavilion dining.
FACIL occupies a glass-walled pavilion on the fifth floor of the Mandala Hotel above Potsdamer Platz, with a courtyard atrium that lets in light from four sides. Michael Kempf has held the kitchen since 2003 and the second Michelin star since 2014; the cooking is modern-European with a defined Mediterranean lean, tasting menus run six or eight courses, and a vegetable-led parallel menu is offered. The dining room reads as a stone-and-glass garden, the most architecturally distinct room in Berlin's two-star tier, and the antidote to the city's tendency toward brutalist counter-format dining.
Lunch is open, which is rare at this tier, book that if you want the room without the full evening commitment. Sister bar QIU on the ground floor is the natural aperitif room.
