Our guide

Berlin has restaurants with Israeli-sounding names and Hebrew menus that aren't kosher at all - the name alone tells you nothing. Look for real, known supervision: Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal (Chabad), Rabbi Zvi Aloni, or the Adass Jisroel community. Some of the good options, like Brammibal's Donuts, are actually a stall inside a non-kosher business, supervised separately just for that one product.

Our recommendations

  • Berlin has several genuinely kosher restaurants - confirm supervision and hours in advance before planning a meal.
  • Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.

Stay in the kosher area of Berlin

Berlin does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad Berlin (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Berlin.

To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
