Perched on the 14th floor of the InterContinental hotel, Hugos (2 Budapest Str.; 49-30/2602-1263; dinner for two $145) draws Berlin's beau monde with a dazzling view, modern design, and Thomas Kammeier's clever cuisine: pink nuggets of lobster over truffled artichokes; jade-green risotto spiked with wasabi. The cheese trolley and balsamic-poached plums with marzipan ice cream are a must. • Adventurous diners gather at Remake (32 Grosse Hamburger Str.; 49-30/2005-4102; dinner for two $190), where Cristiano Rienzner, a Venetian-born chef who worked at El Bulli, pushes the envelope with dishes such as quail breast with bitter chocolate foam and berry reduction, or scallops in a velvety pumpkin and passion fruit sauce. • At the Regent, chefs Christian Lohse and Yves Mattagne (this Belgian is arguably Europe's greatest seafood maestro) have devised creative takes on surf and turf—wild-trout tartare with bits of pork belly; Atlantic prawns with roasted sweetbreads—for Fischers Fritz (49 Charlottenstrasse; 49-30/ 2033-6363; dinner for two $180).
