The combination of a large leafy beer garden and menu of hearty comfort food makes Braumanufaktur Forsthaus Templin ideal in summer and winter alike. The Forsthaus Templin, the forester’s house near the edge of the Templiner See (Lake Templin), has served as a restaurant and beer garden since 1834. In its heyday the beer garden […]
Berliner Berg – New Berlin Brewery Crowdfunding Campaign
The guys at Berliner Berg are hoping to tap into the unquenchable thirst for craft beer in Berlin. The slogan (paraphrasing former GDR leader Walter Ulbricht) reads “No one has the intention to erect a brewery in Berlin” but that is exactly what they are hoping to do with the funds from their Startnext crowdfunding campaign. […]

Fräulein Frost – Ice Cream That Gives You Chills
In the summer Berliners go bonkers for ice cream and lots of these Eis crazy people head to Fräulein Frost for a scoop or two (and sometimes more) of the good stuff. Berlin’s schizophrenic weather means that no one is able to acclimatise to the summer heat – one minute it’s sub 20 degrees and […]
Döner Macht Schöner – 6 of the Best Berlin Kebaps
Over the years I have lived in Berlin I have criss-crossed the city trying out Berlin Kebab recommendations from friends, readers, newspapers and blogs in my search for the best Berlin Kebaps. Legend has it that the Döner Kebab (Doner Kebab) was invented in Berlin in the 1970s and I have seen the discovery credited […]
Bekarei – Baked in Berlin with Love
Bekarei is an absolute gem of a bakery in Prenzlauer Berg that makes some of the best bread and cakes that I have managed to track down in Berlin. I have the Sausage Man Never Sleeps to thank for introducing me to Bekarei. The bread he used for his BLT at The Breakfast Market was […]
Yeni Adana Grillhaus – Turkish Delight
When I’m in the mood for Turkish food, and I mean something a little more substantial than a Döner, my go to restaurant in Berlin is the Yeni Adana Grillhaus in Kreuzberg. I should point out at this point that I’m talking about the restaurant at Skalitzer Straße 99, which is not to be confused […]
The Breakfast Market at Markthalle Neun
Every third Sunday in the month from 10:00 until 17:00, Markthalle Neun, home of Berlin’s hugely popular Street Food Thursday event, plays host to The Breakfast Market. There is a massive range of food, drink and other goodies on offer so make sure you take a wad of cash, a big appetite and your stretchiest […]
Imren Grill – The Perfect Hangover Skewer
Imren Grill has 5 restaurants in Berlin (Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Schöneberg and 2 in Wedding) that serve delicious Turkish food, including a Döner Kebap that is unlike any other I have had in the city. What sets Imren apart from many of the other Döner Buden I have been to in Berlin is the quality of […]
Lon-Men’s Noodle House – A taste of Taiwan in Berlin
There is no shortage of Asian restaurants in Berlin – in fact there are tons of them whose concept is no more specific, selling a mixture of Vietnamese, Thai and Sushi dishes – but finding authentic Taiwanese food at Lon-Men’s Noodle House is a godsend. Without a recommendation from Stil in Berlin (one of my […]
