About the restaurant

Anima is for everybody. It is a place where you'll be able to meet friends for coffee, wine, or cocktails and some food — all of that within the sound experience. You'll be able to listen to a wide range of music on our customized Hi-Fi sound system built by our friend "H.A.N.D.hifi", based in Berlin. (Our mixer was also built here in Berlin by a company called "Resor"; it was important for us to work with locals for this process).

We had a great time. Got seated in a really nice spot. Loved the atmosphere. Food was very tasty. Would have expected slightly bigger portions. The service did not match the quality of the food. We had one woman with darker hair who was excellent and knew her way around wines and the food and one other woman who did not understands englisch that well (but didn‘t speak german either) and didn’t know about the food. That was unfortunate because otherwise it would have been more fun!

Klinke

Kreuzberg

About the restaurant

Die Klinke ist ein Ort mitten im Herzen Kreuzbergs am Oranienplatz.
Mit ihrem deutschen Tapas-Lokal ‚Klinke‘ schaffen die Drei Geschwister aus Kreuzberg einen besonderen Ort.
Es vereinen sich deutsche Küche mit hippen modernen Drinks. Bekannte deutsche werden neu und modern interpretiert und zubereitet. Gerade da die Drei Geschwister schon immer gerne viel geteilt haben, war es ihnen Anliegen einen Ort dafür zu kreieren.
Ebenfalls ist das Interior ein wahrer Augenschmauß, worin die Geschwister viel Liebe reingesteckt haben.
Es wurde eine gemütliche helle Atmosphäre im Innenbereich geschaffen.
Der Außenbereich überzeugt mit dem "Gauloise Flair" und ermöglicht einen wunderbaren Ausblick über den gesamten Oranienplatz.

Unser Hit im Sommer: "Frozen Riesling" (Friesling). Cheers!
