Bite Club Birthday Special – 8/10

Bite Club holds street food events every month in Berlin during the summer. They’re pretty popular, but as they always seem to clash with my not being here this is the first time I’ve made it. I’m not particularly sad I missed the chicken-themed event last month, but some friends who went were very positive …

Indonesian Burgers @ Kauz und Kiebitz – 9/10

Kauz und Kiebitz is a cosy, comfortable bar in Neukölln (the atmosphere kind of reminds me of an upmarket British gastropub) which, as well as having an excellent drinks selection, hosts a lot of delicious-sounding food pop-ups. Every Tuesday they have a street food pop-up, and while the menus vary a lot – from gyros …

Aceto Lokanta – 7/10

Aceto Lokanta is a chain of cheap, cheerful pizzerias with several locations in Berlin. I went to the one by Ostkreuz with my brother and his girlfriend after a Saturday afternoon in Sisyphos, and while the pizzas aren’t mindblowing, they’re pretty tasty and great value. Prices for pizza start at €3.50, going up to €4 …

Two Planets – 8/10

Two Planets is a mostly vegan café which sits unobtrusively among the kebab shops on Hermannstrasse. I treated myself to brunch there before heading to Schönefeld airport (not a place you ever want to have to buy lunch) and found it a lovely, relaxing place to spend the morning. It’s decorated mostly in black and …

Vöner – 9/10

Vöner is a vegan restaurant just around the corner from Ostkreuz, serving delicious spins on classic junk food dishes: burgers, cheese fries, ‘vish and chips’, and of course, the eponymous vegan döner. @eatsofamy is a big fan and I’m very glad I finally got round to going with her – our meal was fantastic. It’s …

The Tree – 9/10

The Tree is a beautiful oasis of calm near Rosenthaler Platz, serving some absolutely delicious Sichuan-style handmade noodles. It’s just close enough to my work that my colleague and I could walk there and back for lunch. We had a lovely time relaxing at their outdoor tables and looking out over the quiet street, and …
