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. […]
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 […]
MJ’s Foodshop – My Favourite Berlin Club
As a Brit I am naturally fond of a sandwich and finding one in Berlin is not an easy task but that’s where MJ’s Foodshop comes in, not only is the Roasted Turkey Club sandwich delicious, it’s a thing of beauty and massive to boot. Juicy turkey is backed up by bacon (and as we […]
Santa Maria Eastside – Mexican Food, Berlin Style
Last month I had the pleasure of going to a tasting at Santa Maria Eastside to celebrate the launch of their new menu, overhauled to make the most of their fully organic, all-German handmade tacos – a first for the Mexican food scene in Berlin. The majority of European tortillas are mass-produced using instant corn […]
The Best of the Wurst – 6 of the Best Currywurst in Berlin
Currywurst has been a Berlin snack staple since 1949 when Hertha Heuwer combined the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and curry powder she got from some British soldiers and poured it over grilled sausage. Over the years, thousands of stands and restaurants have opened in the city and finding the best Currywurst in Berlin is no mean […]
Tommi’s Burger Joint – Making of a Bacon Cheeseburger
The good people at Highsnobiety have been to Tommi’s Burger Joint in Berlin and made a video to show us how their amazing Bacon Cheesburger is made. After watching I’m pretty sure you’ll be running out to get a burger so to help you decide where have a look at my ‘6 of the Best […]
Schmidt’s Imbiss – It’s a family affair
Dieter Schmidt knows a thing or two about Currywurst. He has been running Schmidt’s Imbiss for 40 years in various locations around Berlin, including the last five years at its current spot around the corner from S-Lichterfelde Ost. Dieter’s wife Doris and son Frank are also part of the family business. I elected to forego […]
