Grüne Woche (International Green Week) is a massive food, agriculture and horticulture exhibition held for the 80th time in 2015 at Messe Berlin. 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 […]
Spicy, tasty and authentic aren’t words often associated with Indian food in Berlin. Finding a genuinely decent curry in the German capital isn’t easy let alone an exceptional one so after my first meal at Agni in Moabit I walked out with a ‘curry high’ that lasted for days. It is unlikely that I would […]
Like just about everybody else in this city I’m constantly on the lookout for Berlin’s Best Burger. Every time I think I have my list finalised a new place opens or someone recommends somewhere I haven’t heard of and I have to reshuffle it – that’s why this is ‘6 of the best’ not ‘the […]
One of the most common complaints amongst newcomers to Berlin is a lack of spicy food options. With the opening of Piri’s Chicken Burgers on Wiener Strasse in Kreuzberg, chilli-lovers now have one more go to destination to feel the burn. Piri Piri (or Peri Peri) is a spicy sauce, Portuguese in origin, and a […]
Reina Lehmann has been serving Currywurst to the people of Berlin at Curry Baude, his Bude (kiosk) outside U-Bhf Gesundbrunnen, since 1989. Herr Lehmann prides himself on serving quality food – the sausages and sauces are all homemade with the finest ingredients. Currywurst is €1.50 and available with or without skin (mit oder ohne Darm) […]
Like everyone else in the city it would seem, I’m always on the lookout for Berlin’s Best Burger so when I saw that the Bao Burger ‘De La Sauce’ from District Mot (or District Một) was the three times winner of the Burgers and Hip Hop event organised by Stil in Berlin, I had to try it. […]
