Katz Orange, set in a historic brewery on Bergstraße, offers three private dining rooms — the Panel Room (up to 35 guests), the Library (up to 40), and the upper floor with its own bar (up to 65). The brick-walled ambiance and charming courtyard create a unique atmosphere.
On Friedrichstraße, Crackers features an exclusive private dining room for 12–28 guests — complete with a separate entrance, private bathroom, and dedicated service. For a glamorous setting, Grill Royal on the Spree is one of Berlin’s most famous addresses: contemporary art on the walls, premium steaks, and a separate area for groups of up to 30.
Frederick’s impresses with its elegant salon ambiance of velvet chairs and chandeliers — the private dining room is ideal for upscale team evenings. Near Gendarmenmarkt, Borchardt, Berlin’s most legendary brasserie since 1853, offers a separate area for groups.

Restaurants for Small Groups (5–15 Guests)
For a cozy team meal in a smaller circle, Mitte offers an abundance of options. Bandol sur Mer on Torstraße is a gem — an intimate French restaurant with an open kitchen, Provençal cuisine, and an outstanding natural wine selection. A table for ten here feels like the Côte d’Azur.
For Japanese cuisine, we recommend SHINJU with creative sushi creations and robata-grilled yakitori, or Zenkichi with its unique omakase experience in bamboo booths. If you prefer greenery, Chén Chè is a Vietnamese tea house with a courtyard — a tranquil oasis amid Mitte’s bustle.
For new German cuisine, Lokal on Linienstraße is a favourite: the daily changing menu is uncompromisingly focused on regional, sustainable ingredients. Trio, from the creator of cult restaurant Otto, offers German traditional cuisine with a modern twist. And House of Small Wonder on Auguststraße is Berlin’s Instagram darling — a brunch restaurant in greenhouse style with Japanese-American fusion cuisine.
Wine lovers should visit Freundschaft — founded by ex-sommeliers from Cordobar and Nobelhart & Schmutzig, with over 600 natural wines and a convivial communal table. Pinci on Große Hamburger Straße brings Italian aperitivo culture to Berlin — cicchetti, natural wines, and an atmosphere from morning to midnight.
Restaurants for Medium Groups (15–30 Guests)
For mid-sized team dinners, Mitte offers strong options. MANI on Torstraße sets the perfect scene with its sharing concept: Mediterranean dishes served family-style, an open show kitchen for entertainment, and a green terrace that’s a summer highlight.
Grill Royal accommodates up to 30 guests in glamorous Spree-side ambiance — ideal for a special business dinner. Frederick’s with its sharing menus and elegant salon setting is equally suited for groups of this size.
For a relaxed evening, we recommend mama — a modern trattoria with fresh pasta and excellent value, perfect for uncomplicated team meals. Or District Mot on Rosenthaler Straße, which brings the energy of Saigon’s street food to Mitte — bao buns, pho, and creative cocktails in a colorful atmosphere.
Basta on Weinmeisterstraße is one of Mitte’s newest hotspots: market cuisine from regional suppliers, excellent cocktails, and the concept of ‘brutal hospitality’ — from business lunch to team dinner.
Restaurants for Large Groups (30–50 Guests)
