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.

On my recent first visit, I ordered the lunch menu (which conveniently comes in two sizes). However, I couldn't tell you exactly what that consisted of: Organic somethingorother with a side dish of all-natural whatchamacallit. Despite not being able to identify my food, it was all good once I had figured out which parts were sweet and which savoury.
The atmosphere is just great, and I'll be sure to return for some more delicious mystery food soon. Or maybe next time I'll ask what it is.
