Irma la Douce

“I completely fell in love with this place. The food was outstanding in every possible way. The music set such a lovely tone and atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive throughout the evening. To start, we shared a small asparagus dish with anchovies and frozen egg yolk as a little pre-starter, which was utterly divine. We then had the octopus with pea purée and the steak tartare - absolutely the right decision. Both dishes were exceptional. For mains, we both chose the entrecôte, cooked perfectly and so tender it practically melted before it reached my mouth. We finished with coffee and the lightest, most delicate madeleine. Altogether, it was a stunningly good meal from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back next year when I’m in Berlin.”

“Wonderful service and delicious food. The tartare with caviar was amazing and the way the meat of the Boeuf Bourguignone melted in your mouth was incredible. A very happy surprise was the hazelnut ice cream with piedmont hazelnuts, which was something out of this world. We were very attentively served and we simply loved the atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting (or living in) Berlin!”

“The food was of very high quality. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“A little piece of classic France in the middle of Berlin. Irma La Douce delivers refined French cuisine with a subtle modern twist, in an intimate and elegant setting. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality stood out. The host made us feel genuinely welcome, and Pavlo, the passionate sommelier, truly elevated the evening. His enthusiasm is contagious, and the wine pairing was spot on – thoughtful, precise and perfectly matched to each course. The dishes were well executed and beautifully balanced. The cappelletti with lobster bisque and blue prawn was a highlight, rich yet refined. Their signature dish, the beef bourguignon, had great depth of flavor and a classic profile. For my personal taste, it could have been a touch more tender – a little more time and love on the stove would have taken it from very good to outstanding. Dessert closed the evening in proper French style, and overall the experience felt harmonious and carefully curated. A charming, serious kitchen with heart – and a sommelier who makes you want to come back. 🍷🇫🇷”

“Vegetable floret, tartare, entrecote with cauliflower and choron sauce, the Best carbonara I've ever had( we immediately reordered it lol), and rhum plum with honey. So worth it, we sat outside and saw some nice outfits because it was fashion week. Much deserved Michelin Star 👏🏼”
