Zehlendorf town centre has a great selection of quick on-the-go food, both Imbisse and fastfood chains, and a cluster of cafes. Proper restaurants are tucked into residential areas throughout Zehlendorf and Dahlem, many of them – and especially many of the better ones – are Italian, including Il Nuovo Cristallo (030 815 6609, www.cristallo-berlin.de). The constant flow of students through Dahlem has given rise to cafes and beer gardens, especially around the Dahlem-Dorf train station, though hardly any students actually live in Dahlem and you won’t really find student-style nightlife here. If you’re looking for a lot of nightlife, you’re in the wrong part of Berlin.
