Once a place for insiders, Silberstein now seems to have given in to commercial demands. It is cool to serve sushi, and Silberstein does just that. The interior has the same industrial-look as ever, furnished with chairs and tables made of scrap metal. The greatest changes have been made in the courtyard: once run-down and strangely romantic, it has now been renovated and turned into an arts centre. Silberstein has become fashionable, clean and devastatingly normal. Although in Berlin, normal is not necessarily normal.
