A couple of days ago I got an e-mail from Berlin-based artist, Dave the Chimp, with a great little story about his experiences at a local café in Kreuzberg called EAT. Dave can tell the story much better than I could so here is what he sent me: Last summer a cafe called EAT opened […]
It’s not easy to find an English Breakfast in Berlin, let alone a good one, but luckily for me one of my local restaurants, Cafe Feuerbach has an especially tasty one, so when I’m in the mood for a fry up I don’t have too far to go. For 7,40€ you get bacon, two fried eggs, […]
It’s the last day of February, the sun is shining and Eissaison (ice cream season) is about to start. No, you’re not dreaming, this is real life. Hokey Pokey, one of the most popular and in my opinion one of best Eisläden (ice cream parlours) in Berlin reopens on 28 February for its 2015 run. […]
According to the Chutnify website ‘the owner, Aparna Aurora inspired by her Indian heritage and travels decided to open her South Indian street food dream in Prenzlauer Berg.’ And I for one am pleased as punch that she chose Berlin for her restaurant. It’s no great secret and something that I’ve mentioned before that Berlin […]
As the venue for Street Food Thursday, Markthalle Neun is well and truly established as a must-visit for Berlin foodies but thanks to Sironi, the Italian bakery occupying a glass cube in the market hall, there’s no need to write off the rest of the week. All the bread, pizzas and pastries are prepared on […]

I went for the first time on Saturday and was amazed by the huge selection of different food and drink from all around the world on offer. My food highlight of the […]
In the UK, the kebab has been pretty much relegated to the status of post pub snack and alcohol absorber but, thanks to a large Turkish community, many of Berlin’s Kebab shops and Turkish restaurants are on another level and the Döner Kebap is a snack staple. One of my favourite Dönerbüden (kebab shops), recommended […]
As a general rule Currywurst is a sausage smothered in ketchup with a sprinkling of curry powder but the best Currywurstbuden take things a step further. You could say that Curry & Chili on the corner of Osloer Strasse and Prinzenallee in Berlin Wedding has taken it several steps, as it lays claim to the title […]
A stroke of genius from Giulia Pines kicked off a new trend in Berlin in November. Her Berlin U-Bahn Bar Map for Thrillist inspired a number of other guides based on the Berlin transport map. Best men the world over now have the perfect tool to plan a bar crawl in the German capital and […]
Emerging from the U-Bahn station on the west side of Mehringdamm in Berlin Kreuzberg, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was the first day of the sales or that a famous celebrity is signing autographs but the long line of people you see are queuing for a Döner at Mustafas Gemüse Kebap. Strolling down […]
