Chou Chou - Brasserie – Café – Cocktails

 The heart of the Hilton Berlin beats anew. With fresh concepts, new ideas and a team that rethinks hospitality. 

Chou Chou - a lively brasserie, café and cocktail bar. Open daily for coffee and pastries, lunch, dinner or just for a drink.

That's exactly what we bring to the Hilton Berlin – a pinch of Parisian flair in the heart of Berlin's French Quarter. Our name, Chou Chou, is a colloquial form of endearment that is often used to greet close friends or family, similar to 'Hello my darling!'. It is a name that expresses individuality and affection and gives the feeling of a friendly welcome. Chou Chou is our interpretation of the modern Parisian brasserie, inspired by the vibrant revival of French cuisine, characterized by wit, creativity and fun.
