"This Mitte hotspot has been serving up traditional plates of pickles and pillowy boiled dumplings on modern red lino tables since it opened its doors in 2023. Reflecting the mixed backgrounds of its three founders, Trio offers down-to-earth dishes from corners of Central Europe: German meatballs, Hungarian goulash, and Austrian fried chicken. The food and bistro-cum-diner interior are humble and special, cozy and cool, with the power to comfort and wow in one caper gravy mouthful. We recommend trying as much of the menu as possible, but the goulash—both the mushroom and game are equally excellent—washed down with cloudy Brandenberg beer is a no-brainer. Any satisfying meal at Trio should always finish with an apple strudel and shot of hazelnut liqueur." - Olivia Ladanyi
