Berlin TV Tower: Restaurant & Kitchen

The Sphere Restaurant in the Berlin TV Tower offers a unique experience at 207 meters height: Enjoy regional and international cuisine with a spectacular 360-degree view over Berlin. From Easter 2025, the newly designed “Sphere by Tim Raue” will be a highlight for all gourmets.

Restaurant Sphere at the Berlin TV Tower

The revolving restaurant Sphere in the Berlin TV Tower provides an unparalleled culinary experience at 207 meters above the ground. Located on the third level of the tower, in a specially designed area with a diameter of 29 meters, the restaurant floor, also known as the Telecafé, accommodates up to 200 guests at 40 tables. Here, guests can enjoy both regional and international delicacies while taking in the spectacular panoramic view of the capital.

What makes the Sphere Restaurant special is the continuous rotation of the outer ring of the restaurant floor, which is mounted on 120 rollers and rotates once around its own axis. This innovative design allows guests to experience a continuously changing 360-degree panoramic view of Berlin while dining. Previously, the rotation speed was fixed at one hour, but after renovations in the late 1990s, it can now be adjusted to either half an hour or a full hour, offering more flexibility to guests.

The interior of the restaurant is separated from the stairwell by a colored translucent glass wall designed by artist Richard O. Wilhelm. This wall, adorned with bright spots, stylizes the Milky Way and gives the restaurant a special atmosphere. The entire sphere of the TV Tower, where the restaurant is located, has a usable area of 5000 square meters and is highlighted by bronze-colored window bands on the two visitor levels.

Guests of the revolving restaurant Sphere can enjoy their meal in a stylish setting while simultaneously enjoying an impressive view of Berlin and the surrounding area. From 60 windows, they can experience a panoramic view that is unique at any time of the day and year. The main kitchen of the restaurant is located at the base of the tower for fire safety reasons. The dishes are transported to the restaurant by lift and finished in a small satellite kitchen.

A visit to the revolving restaurant Sphere is not only a culinary highlight but also an unforgettable experience that shows you Berlin from a completely new perspective. Whether for a romantic dinner, a meeting with friends, or a special family event – every moment in Sphere becomes an extraordinary event that you will not forget easily.

Revolving Restaurant Sphere by Tim Raue from 2025

The Sphere Restaurant at the Berlin TV Tower is a place where enjoyment and views come together at the highest level. Whether you want to enjoy a hearty breakfast, a hearty lunch, a cozy coffee and cake in the afternoon, or an elegant dinner – the Sphere offers something for every taste. The seasonally changing menu places particular emphasis on authentic and regional Berlin cuisine, prepared with fresh products from Berlin and Brandenburg.

The culinary offerings at Sphere blend tradition with modernity. The kitchen focuses on regional specialties that are carefully selected and creatively prepared. The dishes reflect the diversity and character of the capital and offer a special taste experience that conveys a sense of proximity to the region.

From November 4, however, the restaurant will be temporarily closed for extensive renovations. The reopening is planned for Easter 2025, and the restaurant will then shine in new glory under the name “Sphere by Tim Raue.” Tim Raue, one of Germany’s most famous chefs, will give the kitchen a new signature and elevate the culinary experience at the Berlin TV Tower to an even higher level.

Look forward to a completely new gastronomic experience that uniquely combines tradition and modernity, regionality and sophistication. Until then, anticipate the reopening, which will make the Sphere an even more extraordinary place in Berlin’s gastronomic scene.
