Restaurant Facil in Berlin

During this visit, we were once again able to enjoy true culinary art and extremely attentive service.

Relaxed but not casual atmosphere I enjoy the unique meal – without the hassle of taking pictures

One of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. The aesthetic is on point. My friend’s food allergy was taken care of down to the detail. And the tastes all together—delicious! Highly recommend!

A wonderful break, wonderful atmosphere and excellent food, very caring service!

I had an extraordinary experience at Facil in Berlin. The menu was perfectly balanced, full of delicate flavors and surprising nuances. I was particularly impressed by the relaxed elegance of the ambiance and the warm, attentive service. For me, it was an evening that wonderfully combined enjoyment and a feel-good atmosphere – absolutely recommended!

Everything is top notch Incredibly delicious Service 10 out of 10 Wonderful atmosphere

Fine dining at its finest, a great menu, and a perfect atmosphere. Not an everyday occurrence, but very special.

My birthday dinner was outstanding. Perfect in every way!

The meal at Facil was an extraordinary experience. From the quiet, green atmosphere to the precise service – everything felt meticulous, calm and uplifting 🌿. We chose the tasting menu and each dish was spectacular, balanced and full of delicate flavors. The staff made us feel comfortable, without being too formal, and the pace of the meal was just perfect. A true oasis of peace and quality in the heart of the city – worth every moment.

Superb service. Although crowded, nice ambiance. Terrible food.

+++ CITY SPECIAL BERLIN – FACIL +++ Lunch with style. In the heart of Berlin. No frills at all. If you're looking for culinary delights on a Thursday afternoon in Berlin, the choices are surprisingly limited – something I quickly realized when planning my city special. And that turned out to be a lucky coincidence, because that's how my focus fell on Facil – and what can I say: a real hit. Facil is the kind of restaurant that doesn't constantly celebrate itself. No social media hype, no nervous self-promotion – just a highly professional, quiet temple of pleasure that has been playing in the top league almost unnoticed for almost a quarter of a century. Next year will be 25 – and with a team that has also been together for ages: Executive Chef Michael Kempf, Head Chef Joachim Gerner, Pastry Chef Thomas Yoshida, Restaurant Manager Manuel Finster, and Sommelier Felix Voges. One longer, one a little shorter, but all pillars of this establishment for years. I was even allowed in a little early – which, as you know, I always like to do, so I can snap a few uninterrupted shots of the interior. Completely peaceful, without anyone else's elbows in the frame. Then a quick detour to the kitchen, where Michael and Joachim were already waiting for a friendly chat and a short tour. I always find that special: When you realize, even before the first course, that real people are behind the concept, who put passion and love into it. The dining room? Airy, flooded with light, somewhere between Zen and urban chic. Lots of glass, natural materials, no frills – it fits the overall package. A complete gourmet menu awaits us this lunchtime – and while each individual course is delicate and harmonious, I was particularly impressed by the kohlrabi with king oyster mushrooms, apricot, and wild thyme, the langoustine from the Faroe Islands with rowanberries, carrots, and curry leaves, as well as the pike-perch cooked according to the Ikejime method with Leipziger Allerlei (a variety of vegetables), morels, and crayfish. Precision, balance, and craftsmanship at a level that quietly whispers "Wow" – but all the more lasting for it. The Facil demonstrates: Fine dining can also be done quietly. Without drama. Without fireworks. And precisely for that, at such an incredibly high level. Every dish was meticulously crafted, intelligently composed, with exciting textures and aromas that don't scream, but rather seduce. The service was – as you'd expect – attentive but never intrusive, warm but never ingratiating. Simply: confident. Conclusion: For me, Facil was one of the nicest surprises of this city trip. A place that doesn't constantly stage itself, but simply delivers. With taste, with heart, with a tremendous amount of craftsmanship. And that's exactly what I love about restaurants. Thanks to the entire team for this fantastic lunch – and for the realization: Sometimes you don't have to be loud to make a lasting impression.

We had a dinner in this restaurant on a Friday (I must have missed the trend that better restaurants are closed on Saturday/Sunday, to give their employees a weekend. But, once you know it, you can live with it.). One of our guest surprisingly outed herself as a vegetarian. Luckily, the restaurant had a vegetarian menu as well. They were all in all quite flexible, with the the amount of courses (everyone a different count) and the wine pairings, if one could not keep up. The service was prompt, professional and friendly (maybe we got lucky that they were all in a good mood, as they have 2 weeks off coming up). The whole menu was delicious. Starting with a greeting from the kitchen (three actually; think ceviche and dumplings), which were setting the theme: perfectly prepared, very flavorful and well balanced. I am not a big fan of overpouring, spiciness, sourness, acidity, oiliness ... and was happy with every course. Especially the seafood dishes are so well prepared optically as well as flavor wise. The flavor focus was obviously on the fish (halibut, zander) itself. Too little. Of course. At the time. But after the eight courses, I was happy that it wasn't more. The wine pairing too was wonderful with a bill that gives you all the names of the wines (and vintages), so that you got a excellent wine tasting on the side. The setting of the restaurant is in the fifth floor of the Mandala Hotel surrounded by a nice bamboo garden. We all would recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable, memorable and most delicious dinner.

Tranquil Michelin star oasis with modern-German finesse and impeccable attention

It was simply a wonderful experience to enjoy this wonderful meal on the roof terrace under the chestnut trees. Not my last visit to Facil. I highly recommend it.

Disgusting is an understatement. My partner and I went to this simple restaurant, intending to try a truly exquisite meal, considering the restaurant has two Michelin stars. Unfortunately, we were unpleasantly surprised to find that each dish they brought us tasted worse than the last. We even thought there was a hidden camera playing a joke on us, because there were dishes that really made us want to vomit. I promise you, that's not an exaggeration. The flavors were unrefined; the menu had no story or meaning between courses. Furthermore, considering the restaurant's goal is to showcase haute cuisine without complications, I find the basic and simplistic nature of the dishes truly outrageous compared to the price. They really aren't worth 850 euros for two people. Honestly, the only thing we "liked" was the dessert; I doubt it's worthy of two Michelin stars. We ordered wine, they forgot to bring it, we ordered champagne, and they didn't give us any. We don't know if the waiters had short-term memories or if the service was simply poor. In conclusion: don't go. It's not worth paying almost 1,000 euros; they don't deserve two Michelin stars. It's truly a rip-off.

Facil was the first Michelin-starred restaurant we went to and we definitely made the right choice. If you love food and are in the area, you should definitely book a table. We were there for lunch because there is usually a set menu at dinner and we wanted to choose our own dishes, but we will definitely be back for dinner next time we are in Berlin. The food is absolutely fantastic. Just look at the pictures. They are a work of art and absolutely delicious. Each dish has so much flavor and is unique in its own way. We especially enjoyed the desserts. The staff are of course also exceptional and very nice. When we were there, they made a small mistake with the cutlery, which we wouldn't have even noticed if they hadn't apologized to us.

We had a wonderful lunch on a Tuesday for my sister's 30th birthday. It was our first visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant, and we were delighted by the friendly and personable staff, as well as the delicious dishes. The atmosphere wasn't stuffy at all. It was like sitting in a large conservatory with the perfect room temperature – very pleasant. Our every wish was anticipated. Thank you so much, and we'll definitely be back!

Food and the whole ambience excellent, special thanks to their sommelier for his excellent taste and his advice for more than 20 years

Facil in Berlin is an experience for all the senses. From the moment you enter, you realize that the highest standards apply here – the ambience is both elegant and understated. The dishes are perfectly coordinated, every detail thought through, and incredibly creative. I was particularly impressed by the menu featuring seasonal ingredients, prepared with refinement and precision. The service was attentive, professional, yet warm, making you feel at home at all times. The wine pairing was a fantastic addition, wonderfully enhancing the flavors. An evening at Facil is something truly special and highly recommended for gourmets.

As always, an unforgettable culinary lunch in a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Delicious...the dessert is amazing! Taste very layered

We had dinner at Facil after our civil wedding. Since then, we've enjoyed coming back again and again. It was a culinary delight.

Even after several visits, it's still our number one favorite restaurant. Great creations, 100% our taste.

A beautiful ambiance on the 5th floor of "The Mandala" Hotel. You sit in the restaurant as if in a winter garden, surrounded by bamboo and overlooking the Zen garden, a Shangri-La of tranquility in the middle of the city. It's not exactly cheap, but it's worth every euro.

Awesome experience! Incredible taste sensations—you have to try it!

If you want to enjoy excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere in Berlin, this is a very good place. The service is outstanding and the food is extremely tasty. A culinary oasis on the 5th floor of the hotel, right in the middle of the city. On a magical roof terrace. The small delicacies were very appealing. A feast for the palate every time – before, during, and at the end. All dishes are lovingly prepared and served. At the end, we met the chef and his team. Dining here is an experience.

Terrible restaurant! Despite very tasty food overall experience is terrible. First of all they serve only menu of 6, 7 or 8 plates at extremely expensive , should say overpriced prices. Even for New York or Dubai, not just for a Berlin. But the main issue is that we came to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from the university and next to us were sitting guests in shorts, beach (!) slippers, also another table were in sport shirts, boxer underwear!!! We were in suits and evening dresses and feel like cheated with a check of 1000 euro without aclohol. It’s absolutely unacceptable for the so called level like this! Also for me is not allowed to eat most of their dishes, I’ve asked for any kind of a la carte menu but they declined. That was the worst experience in Michelin star restaurants ever! Avoid visit them!

You must come to this restaurant to enjoy the Michelin two-star, the environment is super beautiful, the food is also great, many fresh spices taste, continue to be very good with meat or fish, especially the sour taste is well controlled, a little bit of sourness will stimulate the different feelings of this food. The overall CP value is very high. Especially for Chinese food, you can choose two cores or three cores. And the number of people dining is more than expected. You must come to experience it.

The food and the service were great. I especially appreciated the sommelier's suggestions; everything he chose was a great match for the plate. I had the cheese dessert, and he was the one to choose the cheeses - he was also great at choosing cheeses!

The view is great, the fish and chips are really good, the milkshakes are also really good.

Facil is one of Berlin’s great restaurants, internationally recognised, and with a price to match that at dinner can cost the equivalent of a couple of nights at the hotel. But if you still want to experience this restaurant without the price tag, they also do a more limited version of their menu at lunch, and at a great price. The food was magnificent, easily one of the best meals we’ve had anywhere, and service was superb. At no time did we ever feel we were getting discount service for the discount meal. A wonderful experience and a highlight of our Berlin visit.

The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of The Mandala Hotel, near Potsdamer Platz in central Berlin. I arrived a little before opening time and was able to wait in the hotel's lobby. At precisely 12 PM, the hotel staff smoothly guided me to the elevator. Ambience: The restaurant features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, surrounded by bamboo on the exterior, with flowing water inside, creating a tranquil, garden-like atmosphere. By 1:30 PM, the restaurant was fully occupied, mostly with couples. I was the only solo diner, which made me reflect on the prevalent couple culture in Europe. Service: Since I had listed my country as "Japan" when making the reservation, the staff interacted with me entirely in English. Their English was fluent, and the menu was also in English, ensuring seamless communication. Outside the hotel, I often encountered conversations in German, so I was impressed by the staff's professional approach. Menu: The lunch menu offered a prix fixe option with Two Courses (€68) or Three Courses (€88). I opted for the Three Course meal, which included an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. - Appetizer: OCTOPUS 'BOMBAY' - BEETROOT, FENUGREEK, AND VADOUVAN A Mumbai-style octopus dish featuring a blend of fragrant spices, with a distinct curry essence that stimulated the appetite. The interplay of flavors, enhanced by the sauce, made for an exciting tasting experience. - Main Course: CORN-FED CHICKEN FROM PRIGNITZ - GOCHUJANG AND KAFIR LIME The chicken, raised in the lush natural environment of Prignitz, was reportedly raised under stress-free conditions with a special diet. Though small in portion, the flavor was rich and well-defined. - Dessert: THE HAZELNUT-BANANA, COCONUT, AND LEMON* The elegantly plated dessert was irresistibly cute. The combination of cream, sauces, meringue cookies, and sorbet provided diverse textures, while the sweetness of hazelnut paired harmoniously with the tanginess of banana, lemon, and cassis, making it an engaging dish until the very last bite. Overall Impression: FACIL is an elegant restaurant with a refined atmosphere, highlighted by its glass-enclosed interior and bamboo surroundings. The amuse-bouche, reminiscent of chirashi sushi, reflected a respect for Japanese culture. Although the portions were small, they were visually and tastefully satisfying. The dessert, in particular, exceeded expectations, delivering a stunning experience both aesthetically and gastronomically.

Several of us went and chose different dishes from the weekday menu so we could try them all at a reasonable price (~€90). It was an incredible experience! The desserts were especially creative, and each dish was presented in an original and impeccable way. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's worth noting the very high price of the wines (~€100), which is still expected for a 2-Michelin-star restaurant. The space is simple but pleasant and invites you to enjoy the meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

Really great atmosphere and service that is second to none!

One of the best restaurants in Berlin! Friendliness and competence in service, innovative and excellent cuisine, and a wonderful location – for twenty years!

The full eight course menu plus the wine pairing is a must do! Amazing service, amazing staff, amazing food! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful evening on our wedding anniversary with culinary delights and impeccable service at the Facil restaurant. A huge thank you to the entire team! We would love to come back on our next visit to Berlin.

A truly fantastic restaurant with super friendly service :) And the price was great too

We enjoyed a dinner here ♥️ Tasty menu,amazing service

Perfect. In terms of taste, presentation, and ambiance. The service was excellent. The wine suggestions complemented the menu. We'd love to come back!

I have eaten here quite a few times. It is probably the best restaurant I have ever been to. (And I eat out a lot!!) The imagination of the dishes, the incredible flavours and texture, the atmosphere… Aaah wow! The wine… the wine is definitely the best I have ever drunk with a meal… There is a German Chardonnay that my daughter and I have been talking about for 8 months since we had it… Bliss… I am staying at the hotel and about to go again but I am pretty sure I won’t change my mind… It’s worth flying to Berlin for!

Most beautiful restaurant in Berlin. Very, very good food, excellent wines and outstanding service. It doesn't get any better.

A fantastic 2☆ Michelin Restaurant with a stile, a soul and a taste. Every single detail has been worked through for 100%. The fairytail starts with entering the hotel doors when you see the professional receptionists with warm and welcoming smile on their faces. At the restaurant itself we had a full attention all the time. Our coats were immediately taken off and when leaving, they were already waiting for us. The service is highly professional and helpful. All the menu was explained to us so that we could make a proper order. The breaks between the courses were just perfect - not too long, not too short. The waiters had an overview over all the guests and filled our glasses or offered another drinks immediately. Big thanks to the waiter from Latvia. He paid a full attention to us and took care of our well-being. Also the sommelier made a fantastic job and proofed his professionalism in knowing all about the wines and even more. In our 4 course menu every single dish tasted amazing! Especially the wheel shoulder which was so soft and just melted in my mouth! Fantastic! But what inspired me the most was the dessert - a peace of art! It deserved to be photographed, exhibited and adored! But after a peace of that wonderful creation I couldn't believe it can taste even better than it looks! Even the owner came to our table personally and greeted us in such a friendly and welcoming way as if we have been friends for a lifetime! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience dear FACIL team and thanks a lot to the person who invited me there.

A great fine dining restaurant and experience overall. Unlike anything I have ever tasted, service was impeccable!

Wonderful food. Beautiful presentation. Fantastic service.

great atmosphere, nice meal and well attended.

Super very good number 1 within Germany

Visited on a Tuesday evening in May for my wife’s birthday. The whole experience was incredible. Thank you to the chefs and the front of house staff who went above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable birthday meal. We had the 8 course menu with wine pairings. It proved to be an excellent showcase of German wines and the food pairings were first rate. The most expensive meal I have ever eaten but then we don’t frequent two Michelin starred restaurants very often so couldn’t say if this is the norm. Atmosphere potentially lacking slightly but mainly due to being a random Tuesday night in May. Thank you to all the team

Great fine dining experience with a fantastic conclusion We had a really nice evening at Facil. The menu was creative and well coordinated - exciting without being outlandish. The service was relaxed and professional, the ambience calm and stylish. And the dessert was really the highlight: it tasted great and was beautifully presented. Absolutely recommended for special occasions!

good food, nice atmosphere. exactly what I needed

Every time again, very nice, attentive and fast service. Delicious food at a good price. Gladly again at any time.

One of the best restaurants without a doubt. Definitely worthy of their Michelin stars! Service was personable/attentive without being stuffy, courses were all stellar, and wine pairings had great balance. Loved the surrounding view of the garden as well.

Thanks for the delicious meal and lovely company!” “Your dinner was perfect. ... “I appreciate your hospitality and amazing food!” “Thanks for dinner! ... “Fantastic dinner and even better company – thank you!” “Thanks for the meal and the wonderful moments.”

Can only be recommended! Very happy again!

The most coolest place ever I have ever been, Hope to visit other time ))))))

Incredible service, sensational wines, excellent food. From my point of view and also from the point of view of my guest, an extraordinary evening

In my opinion, one of the best restaurants with excellent food quality and variety.🤤

The Facile is a smart star restaurant in a beautiful ambience. We chose a 5 course menu. The staff was friendly and attentive. We reserved a table for my husband's birthday. Nevertheless, we were both missing “that certain something” that we had already experienced in other star restaurants. Unfortunately the spark didn't spread. Too bad!

In jeder Hinsicht perfekt: kreative und bis ins feinste Detail durchkomponiere Gerichte mit toller Weinempfehlung (vielen Dank auch an den großartigen und sehr zugewandten Sommelier); sehr professioneller, außergewöhnlich aufmerksamer und gleichzeitig ungezwungener und persönlicher Service; ruhige, helle und weiträumige Atmosphäre - sehr modern und mit grünem Dachgarten; ein Ort, an dem man Zeit und Raum vergessen kann und man so umsorgt wird, dass kein Wunsch zum Genuss unerfüllt bleibt!

Perfect in every respect: creative dishes composed down to the finest detail; very professional, exceptionally attentive and at the same time informal and personal service; quiet, bright and spacious atmosphere - very modern and with a green roof garden; a place where you can forget about time and space and where you are cared for in such a way that no desire for enjoyment remains unfulfilled!

Delicious food and great service.

The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The service is absolutely outstanding, on par with the 3-star Michelin restaurants I have visited. The food combinations and creations are highly original. However, the fish dishes are quite intense, which might be a concern if you're not fully enthusiastic about fish.

A wonderful spot in the green in the middle of Berlin, the 2 stars are absolutely deserved!

Yes, it was very good and highly recommended

Since we are frequent guests at the QIU Bar, we thought of this for our 10th wedding anniversary: Let's go to the facility... Since there were only a few tables occupied at lunchtime, we also got a spontaneous reservation by telephone. From the underground car park directly to the restaurant is of course great! We were given table 4, nicely located in a corner and we were warmly greeted. We decided on the 5-course gourmet menu (should be enough for lunch) The greeting from the kitchen came quickly and, in retrospect, my wife liked it best of all the courses! Then came the other courses, scallop, caviar on snow crab both a little bland and not as great as expected. In the meantime, my wife was given the wrong water, with the comment: “I then noticed that I would open another bottle for you straight away”. We thought it would be on the house, but no, it was on the bill. The third course, monkfish, was a bit more inspired; the extremely nice, young waiter poured fish sauce and mussels over it. Then our “highlight”: the main course! A walnut-sized piece of veal cheek on 23 grams of vanilla puree with quince, served in a plate with a deep cavity, it was smaller than the amuse gueules. No joke...! We have nothing against small, delicious courses (otherwise we would have gone to the nearest pub), but the overall proportions of the menu are not right. Then came the only real course that was worthy of a 2 star hotel: the dessert. What was done there in the patisserie was brilliant to see and also tasted excellent. Our conclusion: We would be happy to come back if the kitchen places a little more emphasis on the taste and proportions of the courses.

The food was nice and the ambiance was absolutely lovely, however, I was surprised that when I left the table to go to the restroom the service wasn’t paused. I came back to find that the next course was already waiting at the table. Other than that it was a pleasant enough meal.

Two Michelin star restaurant inside the Mandala Hotel: the place is a garden at the 5th floor with fountains that remember oriental furniture. All dishes were superb and the wine pairing was carefully studied; they also took care of the fact it was my mate's birthday. Very creative dining experience

It was incredibly great, the service and the interior design are simply great, and the food was really good. I can only recommend going again.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Berlin! I've been there many times and am always amazed by the excellent food, the artistic presentation and the special, calm atmosphere. For me, a place where enjoyment, aesthetics and quality come together at the highest level. Always an experience!

Wie immer eine wunderschöne entspannte Atmosphäre im asiatisch gestalteten Wintergarten. Tolle Gerichte auf höchstem Niveau, allerdings hin und wieder etwas aggressiv gewürzt sowie nur lauwarm. Guter zugewandter Service, lockere Weinberatung. Zum Glück haben sich die Befürchtungen aus dem 25er Gault Millaut nicht bewahrheitet.

It was very pleasant, the service was very friendly and the food was amazing.

Facil is a memorable dining experience. Beautifully crafted dishes of delicate and varied textures and tastes are artistically plated. My husband and I enjoyed the setting of the atrium garden light which pours through at lunchtime. The service was impeccable.

I have already rated the restaurant once - unfortunately with the wrong profile. So here again, this time officially: I've eaten here five or six times now, including the last two years on my birthday. It's an experience every time. The cuisine is of the highest standard and the service is incredibly warm and professional. A big compliment to the entire team - and especially to Joachim, with whom a small friendship has even developed over time. Of course quality has its price, but it is absolutely appropriate here. For me it's clear: it's always worth a visit!

We were very satisfied with our visit. It is a beautifully furnished and located restaurant in the Mandala Hotel. Due to the good weather, the ceiling was also opened. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has a wonderfully calm atmosphere. The food is very good according to 2 stars. The service, however, deserves an additional comment as it was almost flawless and even exceeded expectations at 2 stars. The only negative for us was that we had looked at the menu on the website beforehand and also the pricing. The menu had been partially adjusted, which I understand due to seasonality, but the pricing was clearly different from the menu stated on the website (website 4 courses = 88 EUR + each additional course 20 EUR; reality: 3 courses = 88 EUR + each additional course 25 EUR). Even if the prices are still fair for the level, the ambience and especially the service, you should keep the menu on the website up to date.

One of the best restaurants in Germany and has been for many years. The kitchen performance and service are at the highest level.

As always, a visit to the Facil is an absolute highlight during a stay in Berlin.

Monk fish is excellent and most eat. With this pricing, i am not expecting bison fillet or veal cheek as main. Wine and beverage is good. Be reminded that the restaurant takes 19% services charge, not experienced that anywhere in the world.

Never been there 👍 Quote: I play Fortnite, and you can also play Fortnite there. That's why 5 stars and I haven't been there ever I just rely on the others

a very nice place with very good food.

Una velada exquisita. Excelente servicio y mejor comida. La ternera combinada con vainilla fue lo mejor que he comido. Y el maridaje de vinos con vinos mayoritariamente alemanes estaba en su punto!

Cena después del trabajo en Berlín. Empezó prometedor, con diversiones juguetonas y una maravillosa ensalada equilibrada y cremosa en dados. Surgieron problemas en el segundo plato de mariscos con peces monje esponjosos y mal cocidos nadando en un pesto de pimiento verde wan (! ). El plato fuerte de los bisontes era el verdadero récord - rasguño: todavía pulsando sangre, adornado con un zigzag sin alegría de salsa blanca sosa y combinado con una boca - frunciendo ronda de decepción amarilla. Un súper tánico 2018 Hermitage emparejamiento añadió insulto a la lesión: demasiado joven para ser cualquier cosa menos una distracción adicional. El mejor plato de colirrábico que he probado, un fuerte plato de pan y una maravillosa selección de vinos alemanes (que antes de ese Hermitage) no pudieron rescatar esto de una gran decepción. Operar en un horario de hotel sin días libres puede ser un desafío para cualquiera. Chef y equipo tienen algo de talento que podría ser mejor llevado a la palestra en su propio lugar, lejos de las multitudes enloquecedoras Potsdamer Platz y la rutina de 7 días / semana del hotel. No escribo muchas reseñas de Trip Advisor. Solo unas palabras a los sabios antes de pagar € 300 - 400 por persona en una experiencia "2 estrellas".

All-round carefree package! Excellent food!

Dining at Facil is an experience of the highest caliber — an ode to precision, creativity, and quiet luxury. Every dish is composed with clarity and purpose, offering an elegant balance between bold flavor and subtle restraint. The service is flawlessly orchestrated: present, attentive, yet never intrusive. The ambiance is equally impressive — calm, refined, and timeless. Facil operates at a level where consistency meets inspiration. It’s a restaurant where excellence is not a goal, but a given. From the amuse-bouche to the petits fours, every detail reflects a team deeply committed to culinary artistry. If there’s one note for improvement — and it is a small one — it lies in the bread service. The house-made baguette is indeed tasty, crusty, and well-executed. However, it doesn’t fully reflect the depth and originality of the rest of the menu. In a restaurant of this stature, the bread could be more than just a good baguette — it could be part of the story. Still, this is a minor footnote in an otherwise exceptional dining narrative. Facil remains one of the great European destinations for those who appreciate contemporary fine dining at its very best.

A very special place that I have been visiting regularly for years - especially on my birthday. I've been there at least five or six times and have been impressed every time. The cuisine is of the highest standard and the entire team is warm, professional and incredibly attentive. I would particularly like to highlight Joachim the boss - a small friendship has even developed over the years. You just feel welcome. The price is absolutely justified, there is no need to discuss it at all. An experience for me every time – highly recommended! I've included a few dishes from the past and yesterday

Weekday lunch menu was super affordable and excellent - 68€ for 2 courses or 88€ for 3. Also comes with amuse bouche and mini desserts (petit trois? lol) at the end. The sparkling wine and champagne they offer in the beginning of the meal is not free but they do bring pretty good bread. cutest cutleries and plating. Pork rib was good.

As long-time guests of the Facil, we visit there twice a year - but our last visit was unfortunately disappointing. The introduction: wilted flowers at every table. You can still feel a certain “post-Corona depression”: the portions have become significantly smaller, the dishes seem less inspired than before, and the selection of products seems to be subject to a stricter budget. The meat in particular was almost impossible to find. The wine accompaniment is also questionable in terms of price - 20 euros for 0.1 liters seems excessive. A small digression that the Facil cannot help: It is shocking how table manners deteriorate from year to year. Juggling cutlery now seems to be just as socially acceptable as the hoodie as a standard outfit. A little more style and etiquette would benefit the overall experience. Filled soap dispensers in the toilets would also be helpful. Despite this disappointment, there remains hope that the Facil will find its way back to its former strength with the expected reduction in the catering tax. The kitchen has proven in the past that it can achieve great things - perhaps all it needs is a little reboot to revive the previous creativity and quality. We would like to be surprised again on our next visit by the sophistication that once made the Facil so special.

Best culinary experience in Berlin, hands down

Delicious food...Good wine. Nice service. I recommend it is worth visiting.

Beautiful atmosphere, relaxing, feels like you're outside the city, good acoustics, it's easy to have private conversations. Service was professional, food was very tasty, we were particularly impressed with the desserts. Arrangement very nice.

Nach 3 Jahren mal wieder hier gewesen und leider wird es wohl der letzte Besuch gewesen sein. Die Einrichtung ist noch immer überwältigend. Leider waren nur 3 Gänge des großen Menüs sehr gut. Der die ersten beiden Gänge waren versalzen. Der Hauptgang und der Fisch eine Sensation. Das Personal sehr verhalten und kühl. Der Sommelier seit 2 Jahrzehnten gleich professionell aber sehr steif. Aber das die alkoholfreie Getränkebegleitung aus zwei Weinen ohne Alkohol besteht ist für ein 2 Sterne Haus fragwürdig.

2 Michelin star restaurant recommended. All the dishes were wonderful, special and combined unusual flavors and textures. The butter... can eat it every day, all day. Excellent service. Very formal atmosphere

An all around great experience! The food at FACIL was excellent – ​​creative, tasteful and presented with great attention to detail. I was particularly impressed by the service: attentive, warm and completely professional – one of the best I have ever experienced. The location is also great – stylish, quiet and with a nice atmosphere. Certainly even more impressive during the day or in summer with more daylight. Clear recommendation!

This chef is inspired by Japanese cuisine and try to combine with French. The first dish was the fried rice with mayonnaise which should be forbidden, because it’s oil on oil. Human loves oil as natural because oil gives satisfaction but not taste. People should avoid oil to taste real flavor. The second plate was scallop which was disaster, because too salty. Other than those the dishes are nice.

A delightful experience, everything was top notch from the food, the ambiance and the service. Really glad to have been here

We were very satisfied with our visit to the restaurant. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, the service professional, and the dishes beautifully presented with intriguing flavors. More details below: I especially loved the chicken (Maishähnchen). The meat was incredibly tender, and the sauce was excellent. The desserts were magnificent—beautifully presented and with interesting flavors. Among the drinks, we had non-alcoholic wine, which had a very intriguing taste. See the photo. The Octopus "Bombay," the first dish listed on the menu, was ordered by many guests. Personally, I found it rather bland. I'm also not a fan of beetroot. In the end, the dish didn’t impress me, especially after the very vibrant and delicious aperitif. I cannot recommend this dish. The "Schwarzwurzel" dish had an interesting flavor and unusual combination. However, the smell was challenging... It's difficult to describe, but we found it unpleasant—perhaps it's similar to truffles, which we're not accustomed to. Still, it's worth trying if you're not discouraged by its peculiar aroma.
