There are 4 Vanille & Marille shops in Berlin, all serving ice cream made fresh daily from 100% natural ingredients in the backyard of their location in Kreuzberg, including one in the part of city I call home, Steglitz. There is an extensive range of ice cream and Lactose-free sorbets on offer, including a selected […]
PraterGarten – Berlin’s Oldest Beer Garden
When it comes to summer drinking, PraterGarten, a sprawling beer garden in Prenzlauer Berg is a Berlin institution. The roots of the PraterGarten can be traced back to 1837, making it Berlin’s oldest beer garden, and in its time it has hosted a huge variety of cultural events including theatre, film screenings, political meetings and […]
Hisar Fresh Food – Chicken or Beef? Take Your Pick
If you’re wandering around Berlin in search of a Kebap but you’re not sure if you want chicken or beef, Hisar Fresh Food near S/U Yorckstrasse might just be the place for you. The Döner Kebap (Doner kebab) is one of the most popular snacks in Berlin but there aren’t many places where you can […]
I tried Currywurst Energy Drink so you don’t have to
I’m guessing that just reading the words Currywurst Energy Drink has brought on some mixed feelings – probably 90% ‘I think I’m going to throw up’ and 10% ‘I wonder if it really tastes of Currywurst’ – or is that just me? My search for Currywurst Energy Drink in Berlin has at times felt like […]
Street Food auf Achse at Kulturbrauerei in Berlin
Since January 2015 Street Food fans in northern Berlin have had an alternative to schlepping across town to Kreuzberg (for Street Food Thursday or Bite Club) – every Sunday (from June to October) the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg hosts Street Food auf Achse. The courtyard of the former brewery is an ideal venue for the […]
Gelateria Mos Eisley
Gelateria Mos Eisley in Neukölln was one of my favourite ice cream discoveries in Berlin last summer. Daniela Teuber realised her dream of opening a shop selling ice cream and sorbets, made fresh daily with all natural ingredients, in May 2013 so I’m a bit late to the game but hey, better late than never. […]
Klunkerkranich – Car Park Turned Rooftop Bar
It’s been a long time coming but if the weather forecast is to be believed we’re on the verge of a genuinely warm and sunny spell in Berlin this week. My tip for soaking up some sun and cold beer is Klunkerkranich, the bar on the rooftop of the car park of the Neukölln Arcaden […]
The Dudes Delikatessen Berlin
Over the last couple of years Berlin has really embraced the BBQ scene and one of the best spots in the city to smack your chops around some tender pulled pork or beef is The Dudes Delikatessen in Kreuzberg. The Dudes Delikatessen is a relatively new venture from the guys behind The Dudes Factory, a […]
Mmaah Korean BBQ
It’s hard to describe the excitement I felt when I heard that Mmaah Korean BBQ had opened a second location, serving year round with shelter from the temperamental Berlin weather. From my first bite of Mmaah’s Bulgogi BBQ Original last summer I was hooked. Sandwiched between Tempelhofer Feld and Hasenheide in a little shed-like building […]
Balli Döner – Dürüm that really fits the bill
My Döner guru (yes, I have a Döner guru and everyone should have one) Cihan is responsible for introducing me to two of my favourite Berlin Kebap options: the Spezial Döner at Konyali and the Dürüm Döner at Balli Döner. I can still remember how excited Cihan was when we were discussing Kebaps a couple […]
