Egal wo – unsere Küche ist crossover, regional, besonders und vorzüglich.

Beim Lunch bieten wir ein Tages-Menü und wechselnde Gerichte zu moderaten Preisen.

Klinke

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!
