I’ve had friends staying the last few days and wanting to send them off to the airport with full stomachs, I took them to one of my favourite Berlin lunch spots, Dolores. We went to the restaurant on Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse in Mitte but there is another branch on Bayreuther Strasse, near the KaDeWe. The monster-size Burritos […]
Fassbender & Rausch – Sublime Chocolates in Berlin
A trip to Fassbender & Rausch would be one of my top tips for anyone visiting Berlin. Of course, on your first visit to the German capital you should see the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), but why not also see them crafted from chocolate. Fassbender […]
Barcomi’s Deli: Devil’s Food Cake
After a very disappointing trip to the Museum für Kommunikation I needed a pick me up so I went back to Barcomi’s Deli and tried the Devil’s Food Cake. And before you ask, yes it tastes as good as it looks.
Barcomi’s Deli – Lunch in a Berlin Courtyard
Having worked up an appetite walking in the snow I decided that today would be a good day to go back to Barcomi’s Deli. Barcomi’s Deli isn’t the kind of place that is easy to happen upon. It is in a back Hof (courtyard) between Sophienstrasse and Gipsstrasse in the art gallery district of Berlin’s […]
Bier’s Kudamm 195 – Currywurst on Berlin’s Shopping Boulevard
I braved the cold of a Berlin winter this afternoon to get my Currywurst fix at Bier’s Kudamm 195. Bier’s had come to my attention as it featured on a BBC News video about Berliners’ appetites for Currywurst that I found when researching the history of the Berlin snack for my Konnnopke’s post. The reporter […]
The Bird
When I set out this morning my only intention was to take a stroll around the fleamarket at the Mauerpark and see how it looked after yesterday’s light snow and build up an appetite for lunch. I didn’t have any intention of eating out but as has happened on previous Sundays, as I reached the […]
Luigi Zuckermann
I covered a lot of Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte on foot today so had worked up quite an appetite by lunchtime. Unfortunately, it seemed that I wasn’t the only one. Luckily, I found a spot to sit down at Luigi Zuckermann at the second attempt. On my first pass the place was packed so Plan […]
Krasselts Imbiss
Lunchtime had been and gone long ago by the time I managed to make up my mind about what I would like to eat. I had been on a mission to track down a DVD for my Friday night entertainment and having visited Das Schloss, I realised that I wasn’t far from Krasselts Imbiss. Unfortunately, […]
Curry 36 – Currywurst in Berlin
Curry 36 is another very popular Imbiss and the sight of my introduction to Currywurst during my first trip to Berlin in 2009. I chose it for my first meal in Berlin because it was in the Lonely Planet Encounters guide I had bought and the idea of a Curry / Sausage combo appealed to […]
Burgermeister
As my travels today took me back near Kreuzberg I decided to pop to Burgermeister for lunch as I had vowed to do in my A couple hours well spent post. Burgermeister is under the tracks of the U1 near the Schlesiches Tor stop and is a former toilet converted into a kitchen (an interesting […]
