When Steffi and Bine told me that they had driven from Charlottenburg to Prenzlauer Berg just to get the New York Cheesecake at The Bird it got me wondering where you get the best New York Cheesecake in Berlin. I started to draw up a list and the first place to go on it was […]
Berlin Burger International (BBI)
Berlin Burger International (BBI) has been on my to-do list so long that I can’t even remember where I heard about it – I just remember hearing that the burgers are amazing. I was heading to Neukölln last week to check out an abandoned Children’s Hospital and had woken up with a burger craving so […]
Zsa Zsa Burger – Star Quality In Schöneberg
I have Chris Lietze of Blog’n’Burger to thank for introducing me to Zsa Zsa Burger. My first visit to this Schöneberg burger restaurant was for BlognBurger11 and a few days later I was back again for more. My first time at Zsa Zsa Burger I was tempted by The Silence of The Lambs described on […]
Curry Mitte – Saucy Pleasure in Berlin
It’s amazing that it took me so long to try the Currwurst at Curry Mitte, an Imbiß on Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin, as it’s only about 1km from my flat, but thanks to a recommendation from Gian left in the comments of my Reasons I Miss Berlin #3 – Currywurst post I went there a couple […]
Marjellchen – Hearty and delicious German food in Berlin
I think it’s fair to say that German cuisine (for some, that’s an oxymoron right there) doesn’t always get a good press but anyone who doubts the quality of deutsche Küche obviously hasn’t eaten at Marjellchen in Berlin. My exposure to traditional Berlin food so far has consisted of Currwurst and Döner (and I’m a […]
Reasons I Miss Berlin #3 – Currywurst
As much as I’m enjoying some home-cooked meals and the opportunity to have a great take-away curry back in the UK, I miss my favourite Berlin snack – Currywurst. Over the last year I’ve been on a quest to find the best Currywurst in Berlin – my ‘Best of the Wurst’. Here’s a rundown of […]
Fräulein Burger – Berlin’s Newest Burger Joint
Fräulein Burger opened its doors to the Berlin public at Koppenplatz 1 (near The Barn) for the first time yesterday, serving homemade organic (Bio) burgers. Having heard predominantly good things about Fräulein Burger from friends who attended a special pre-opening event for Blog n Burger on Sunday, I was keen to try out Berlin’s newest burger […]
Maria Bonita – Great Mexican Food in Berlin
Maria Bonita on Danziger Strasse is only big enough for a handful of people to eat at the same time but the food at this tiny Mexican bistro is a real treat. A lack of good Mexican food in Berlin is one of the biggest culinary gripes in the city, especially amongst the expat crowd. […]
A Magica – Incredible Pizza in Berlin
A Magica, which opened on Greifenhagener Strasse in Prenzlauer Berg in 2007 is run by Sebastiano and Andreas, who met in Berlin in the early 90s. According to the restaurant’s website, Sebastiano the chef, is a pizza acrobat and has competed at national and international competitions, displaying his pizza tossing skills. This small and friendly […]
White Trash Fast Food – Rock n Roll Bingo
Last week I made my third Wednesday night visit to Rock n Roll Bingo at White Trash Fast Food in Berlin. The venue on Schönhauser Allee* is dark and slightly dingy – part restaurant, part bar, part club – and has an eclectic mix of art on the walls, all of which combine to give […]
