Cost of Eating Out in Berlin 2026

Berlin is one of Western Europe's most affordable major cities for eating out, with a thriving street food culture and neighbourhood restaurant scene that caters to every budget. The city's multicultural character — particularly its large Turkish community — means excellent affordable food is available throughout the city. This guide covers restaurant and eating-out costs in Berlin in 2026.

Berlin Restaurant and Street Food Prices

  • Currywurst (street stand): €3-5
  • Döner kebab (Turkish): €5-8
  • Falafel wrap: €4-7
  • Casual cafe lunch (soup, sandwich): €8-14 per person
  • Mid-range Berlin restaurant dinner: €18-35 per person
  • Prenzlauer Berg or Mitte upscale dining: €35-65 per person
  • Fine dining: €70-150+ per person

Berlin Best-Value Food Areas

  • Neukölln and Kreuzberg have Berlin's best-value neighbourhood restaurants and kebab shops; Markthalle Neun (Eisenbahnstraße) hosts the famous Thursday Street Food Market (Thursdays 5-10pm) with diverse cuisines at €5-12 per dish; the area around Kottbusser Tor has some of Berlin's cheapest and most authentic Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants
  • Mitte and Charlottenburg are significantly more expensive than the eastern and southern neighbourhood districts; tourist prices along Unter den Linden are 30-50% above neighbourhood equivalents

Tipping in Berlin

  • Tipping in Berlin is customary; 10% is standard for good service at sit-down restaurants; round up at cafes and street food stands; Germans typically tell the waiter the total they wish to pay (including tip) rather than leaving cash on the table

Berlin Daily Food Budget

  • Budget (street food and neighbourhood cafes): €20-35 per day; Mid-range: €40-65 per day; Upscale: €80-160 per day
