Forget trailing around all the overpriced touristy rubbish and head for 'Au Tout Petit' - it's situated on a small side street very close to the market (Les Halles).
The owner is passionate about the food he cooks and speaks good English. The food is fresh and imaginative and there's lots of advice about what to choose.
The place has only been open a short time and deserves as much support as possible.
Also, good news for coeliacs - the owner understands and caters for them.
The price is about 14 euros for two courses, even cheaper at lunchtimes!

This trip can be done with a day ticket (tageskarte) or with a small group ticket (kleingruppekarte) for 3-5 people. Allow about 2 hours 30 minutes, but longer if you want to stop off. Take the U8 from Alexanderplatz to Boddinstrasse, then the 104 bus marked 'Neu Westend' from the stop outside Woolworths, but before you do look inside Woolworths (seriously) at the painted ceiling - it was once the Kindl beer hall and restaurant.
Try and sit upstairs left on the bus which goes past: the Turkish Mosque, the American airlift plane, Templehof airport (the longest building in Europe), the airlift memorial, Schoneburg Town hall (where JFK made his famous speech), Wilmersdorf, Halensee Lake, the former Avus race track and buildings, the Funkturm radio tower (you can climb it), exhibition centre and Neu Westend. From here you can take U2 back to Alexanderplatz.
