The Karstadt at Hermannplatz sure has a great food department downstairs. I once had an apartment not far from there for a while and it was always a pleasure to shop there. It´s not exactly KaDeWe´s top floor, but much more affordable and home cooking oriented instead of the tourist souvenir and food court thing they have at KaDeWe.
