Torstrasse: so many restaurants, so little time! The latest one we’re profiling at Miniloft is the fantastic Toca Rouge, a thoroughly modern yet cosy set up selling delicious twists on Chinese cuisine.
Thai-Park
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
Now that summer is winding its way closer, Berlin is all about the open air – exploring the parts of the city that hibernate in winter. And a picnic at the legendary Thai-Park is definitely near the top of Berlin’s summertime bucketlist.
Vino e Basilico

There is no end of restaurants to sate your appetite in Mitte, but Vino e Basilico is near the top of our list for great Italian food.
