It’s amazing that it took me so long to try the Currwurst at Curry Mitte, an Imbi ß 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 […]
The new year started with a bang – well, lots of them actually. I spent my first Silvester (New Year’s Eve) in Berlin and went to watch the fireworks at Brandenburger Tor from a side street near Potsdamer Platz. Here’s a short video: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akNyfIxON0U?rel=0] For anyone who hasn’t experienced it, Silvester in Berlin is […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s strange that a meal can be such a part of your upbringing, so much a family tradition and so culturally ingrained that it’s a surprise when someone else eats something different. That is how I feel about Christmas Dinner. It’s even more surprising when you learn that others celebrate and exchange presents on a […]
Schmankerl-Hüttn is an Austrian ski hut themed bar and restaurant at the Winterwelt am Potsdamer Platz, open from 10:00 every day until 6 January 2013, which has an Aprés-Ski-Party every night 19:00 to 24:00. A night out at Schmankerl-Hüttn is all about Schlager, which is the kind of cheesy pop music that you would hear […]
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 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, 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 […]
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 […]
