Located just a short walk from Berlin’s über-hip Torstraße and the Hackescher Markt, Cordobar is the wine bar on everyone’s lips. The bar, which is named for the 1978 World Cup final dubbed the “Miracle of Cordoba”—miracle because it saw the Austrian football team beat the Germans for the first time in 47 years—is also a cheeky reference to the bar’s half-German, half-Austrian ownership. Young chef Lukas Mraz rules the kitchen with dishes that are surprising for their precision, while Willi Schlögl and Gerhard Retter run an exceptional list of primarily Austrian and German wines (again, hence the name) with great charm.

ProTip
Be sure not to miss the blood sausage pizza paired with an off-dry Riesling from Mosel winemaker Julian Haart. Or swing by Saturdays after 11 p.m., when they clear out the open bottles for a song.
