Far less sophisticated than its name might appear to suggest. Go there for some cheap late-night Schnitzel and beer (until 2am, or midnight on Sundays), as long as you don't mind mainstream radio playing in the background.

Has been closed for months now... first they claimed to be on holidays, but now the sign has been removed and it's still shut.
I miss it. :(

The Drahtwarenhandlung is a private shared office upstairs, and a small restaurant downstairs. Open only on Friday and Saturday nights from 6-2, they serve a different, creative four-course menu (with vegetarian choices as well) each week.

When I was there, every course involved apricots in some way, but it's not always that gimmicky. Check their website for the current menu -- but beware that they close during the summer.

The food was pretty good, and the variety, creativity and atmosphere make this a winner -- I'll certainly come again.

Organic food only, fair-trade everything, wooden (presumably handmade) furniture, absolutely no smoking, usually exclusively vegetarian menus, every meal also availible as a children's portion, a community pinboard, political discussion in the menu (This month: Burma, the Holocaust, and deportation practices), local art on the walls and an extra room for rent to yoga groups and citizen initiatives: Every cliche in the book comes true at this fiercely indie organic restaurant hidden away in a quiet side street near Schottentor. So put on your Birkenstocks and enjoy its honest charm and affordable, delicious, healthy food.

Mexican restaurant and cocktail bar. The Quesedilla I had (which the menu claims isn't availible anywhere else outside of Mexico) was good, they're open until 2 am, and supposedly they also have wifi.
You might not want to sit right at the windows, since a Trafik directly across the street has put up a distracting LCD that continually shows commercials. How lame.

Plenty of space, a great atmosphere and free wifi make this an awesome place to get some work done in the afternoon or just hang out with friends later in the evening.
Think Phil or Möbel, but with superb and cheap food (limited to 2-3 new and unique choices each day). They also host interesting cultural events from time to time.
