Delicious gaos and baos in a food hall: Bao Gao Club 包餃會 @ Markthalle Neun (23. June 2023)
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Markthalle Neun and after a super rainy day, it was the perfect place to warm up a bit over a few tasty bites. We went to the “Bao Gao Club 包餃會” and ordered the “CaiRou Bao (fluffy steamed buns with minced pork, spring onion and shiitake […]
Average at best is what you get in the food area of the KaDeWe: Cinco Jotas @ KaDeWe (23. June 2023)
It was time to return to the 6th level of the KaDeWe and spend some time there to get some tasty dishes. We went for a “bocadillo tradition (acorn ham on white bread with tomato tapenade and fresh diced tomatoes)” (EUR 9.90), which was quite okay. I mean, sure, nothing exciting, but the Jamon Iberico […]
A highly overrated and overpriced Michelin star experience: Restaurant Irma La Douce (22. June 2023)
It seemed to be ‘the day of the pastrami’ since I already have had pastrami for lunch, so, I was a bit surprised that we got served “pastrami butter and nut butter” with the … … bread. And I must say, both butters were actually enjoyable, and so was the bread. So, as a starting […]
Good for an early savoury vegetarian breakfast: Restaurant House of Do An (16. April 2023)
Although I have been to the House of Do An about 21 months ago, I did not remember that the place was vegetarian, so I was a bit surprised when I skimmed through the menu once we had been seated to see that there were no meat dishes. Sometimes, though, that’s okay. It was a […]
An absolutely lovely Georgian food experience – my first: Restaurant Tsomi (15. April 2023)
I think I’ve never really tried Georgian cuisine, so, I was quite excited to give it a try and ordered quite a few items to dig into. The “chartscho (traditional Georgian beef pot with rice, served with puri)” (EUR 9.00) was sold to me as a starter. When looking at the size and the amount […]
One of this hipster places, claiming to be better than it is: Restaurant Betty’n Caty (15. April 2023)
Hyped places is a typical thing for Berlin. And Betty’n Caty is exactly this – a hyped place. The place is crowded, the interior is somewhat nice, but they are trying to fit too many people into this small space, so, it feels like you’re in a little cage like animals. Not the most pleasant […]
Berlin has to offer surprisingly decent vegan cuisine: Restaurant Frea (14. April 2023)
Whenever I’m in Berlin, I get to experience a bit of a different cuisine than what I experience in any other city. Mainly, because one of my best friends is vegetarian, so I am kind of ‘forced’ to try out vegan and vegetarian cuisine. However, compared to 15 years ago, when we first met, the […]
Good Latin American dishes with a German twist: Restaurant Paracas I (29. October 2022)
Whenever I’m in Berlin, it feels like I’m eating too often in Asian(-inspired) restaurants, so I, decided to do something else in the evening. I went for the “tapas platter” to get started, which is quite extensive. It was priced at around EUR 12.00-EUR13.00, so, I was quite surprised how much food you would actually […]
