Best Restaurants in Neukölln (2026): Eat Like You Live Here

Neukölln is good for rooftop views, Turkish grills and a brewery turned art centre, and the restaurants people save most are Klunkerkranich, Pizza Pause and Paolo Pinkel. Ranked from 15 places we track here, creator picks first.

Updated · 15 places we track in Neukölln, all first recorded in March 2026

Neukölln beyond the Reuterkiez is looser and bigger. Klunkerkranich is the rooftop with the views, Kindl is a contemporary art centre in a 1920s brewery, and Rollberg Kinos is the independent cinema. Imren and Örnek Lahmacun Grillhaus handle the Turkish end, Gorilla Bäckerei bakes Roman-style pizza and sourdough, and SchwuZ is the long-running queer club. Hasenheide is the park when you need space.
