Prototype food intelligence
Berlin Restaurant Atlas
A concept guide for exploring Berlin restaurants by neighborhood, food signal, editorial lens, and real venue seed data.
Why this page exists
Not a directory. A Berlin food signal layer.
Foursquare can supply the venue graph: categories, hours, price, popularity, rating, photos, tips, and location. AllAround adds editorial interpretation: what is rising, what is locally useful, what is over-hyped, and where each neighborhood is moving.
Interactive concept
Choose a lens, then a neighborhood.

Hype vs quality
Upper left is the sweet spot: strong quality without peak crowd heat.
Doner Index
Separate the cultural institution from the queue trap: value, late reliability, tourist gravity, and neighborhood importance.
Open-now usefulness
Use hours, last seating, kitchen confidence, and nearby transit to answer the Tuesday 22:43 problem.
Localness score
Blend category density, editorial checks, price fit, and neighborhood context to avoid generic best-of lists.

Data posture
Ready for Foursquare, honest for now.
Real venue names, neighborhoods, and categories are seeded from public restaurant pages, editorial lists, and the existing AllAround Berlin food guides.
Signal scores are prototype editorial scores, not live Foursquare ratings. They show how Foursquare fields like rating, popularity, price, open_now, categories, photos, hours, and venue location could be combined with AllAround curation.
