Zur letzten Instanz

Often claimed to be Berlin's oldest restaurant. While there has been an establishment at the site since 1621, the current name dates back to 1924. What's more is that much of the original building was damaged in World War II and reconstructed in 1963 by the East German authorities to make it more "appealing to tourists". Still, Zur letzten Instanz serves excellent, albeit a bit price, German cuisine. In the backyard, there's a nice beer garden.
