Café Gorki Park

Dinner at Neugrüns Köche is an exquisite pleasure – perfect food in a comfortable, friendly and unpretentious environment.
Schwarzwaldstuben

This transplant from the Black Forest is a lively and welcoming pub with Southern German food. Try the Käsespätzle – delicious noodles baked with cheese, Maultaschen (like ravioli), crispy Schnitzel, or pizza-like Flammkuchen with bits of bacon and sour cream, all washed down with traditional and tasty Rothaus beer.
Oderquelle
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Twenty years ago, the restaurant Oderquelle lay in East Berlin, in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. Today, Oderbergerstrasse is a pretty and trendy street chock full of great restaurants, cool cafes, and absorbing shops with vintage GDR clothes and knick-knacks or modern designs.
Nord Sud
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
On the surface, Nord Sud does not look especially appealing, with its interior reminiscent of a Kindergarten and slow service. But forget these trifles!
