I know you're probably not going to have a huge amount of free time in Berlin, but I have a couple of recommendations for you:

Fassbender & Rausch Chocolatiers
Gendarmenmarkt
Charlottenstrasse 60

(though I think they're just Fassbender now, it's been two years since we were there)

and

Zikos Grill
Charlottenburg
Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße 61A, 10627

Fassbender, aside from selling great chocolate and having a very nice cafe upstairs (and a restaurant, but with limited hours), had absolutely amazing sculptures. Zikos was the first restaurant that we ate at when we arrived there and the food was just wonderful. My wife had a sort of hunters stew, I had a fillet of sole. And we had beer. Very good stuff. As I recall they either had English menus or the menus had two sides, something like that. It's 3 or so blocks from the underground, and there are some nice little shops in the district. It's a very multicultural district. The area that Fassbender is in is much more touristy, Charlottenburg is much more lived-in.

Have a wonderful trip, we certainly did!
