When you think of baked potatoes you probably think of aluminum foile and creme fraiche. Bixels at Mulackstrasse in Mitte will serve you way more then that. Their amazing potatoes are baked in an old iron oven and topped with all sorts of vegetables, different types of meat and herbs. At our recent visit we tried them with spicy chicken and Argentinian beef and they were absolutely delicious! Have a look at some more impressions of the small restaurants and the details after the jump.

Oukan 71 is a brand new avant-garde fashion store, asian tea bar and restaurant at Kronenstraße near Stadtmitte. Last Thursday the boutique celebrated its grand opening presenting their selection of designers, teas and food. I was quite impressed really. The store is very elegant and modern and the choice of labels quite intriguing. Except for Ayzit Bostan, Antonia Goy and Vitor I hadn’t heard about any of them. Many of them are smaller Scandinavian brands, but they all have a Japanese inspired twist. Such as the Kimono-style wind and water proof coats by Norwegian Rain, or the Origami details on the clothes of the Munich-based label Fusionem.
I think it’s quite a daring concept to sell such avant-garde designs of young labels here in Berlin. I’m glad that someone’s finally going through with it and can’t wait to see what other collections will be added to the store in the future. Some impressions of the opening and details of the store after the jump.

Some things are so highly anticipated that the excitement has already vanished by the time it finally arrives. That was also the case for Kater Holzig which is one of the new kids from the Bar 25 staff. When it was finally opening I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be. But when I finally entered I realized that the long waiting paid off. The new terrain of pleasure looks amazing! I already have fantasies of how it will be when the initial hype is over and the fun stuff will beginn. So far I only had the chance to check out their Katerschmaus. After the jump you’ll find my review of the Kater Holzig restaurant.

The unusual name of this restaurant based in the South of Kreuzberg roughly translates to “girl without highschool degree”. What does that have to do with anything, you might wonder! Nothing really, but it surely is a name you won’t forget so easily. Stepping into this place reminded me a bit of the appartment of our friend Julia who is a big fan of the color red, black and white Audrey Hepburn photos and kitchy little vintage goodies.
The food on the other hand is not kitchy at all. Here you will find traditional German dishes such as Königsberger Klopse and fried liver with apple and onions, mixed with a few international dishes. What I was most delighted with was the Laugengebäck that we got as a starter. The best starter bread I ever had. For some impressions of the restaurant and the food look after the jump.

In terms of originality, taste and look the food at Volt has definately been the most impressive in my series of restaurants with German cuisine. Traditional German dishes are served as gourmet variations that will take you by surprise and not only please your tongue but also your eyes. The restaurant itself is quite incredible as well: It’s built into an old transformer station at the Paul-Linke-Ufer in Kreuzberg. The mix of the industrial space with very modern interior gives it a totally unique charme. The details and some impressions of the dishes and the place after the jump.

The Kurhaus Kursakow was the second place on my journey through Berlin’s most interesting restaurants with German cuisine. Located directly at Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain I was surprised that I never came across it although I have been living right around the corner not too long ago. But hey, better late then never!
My first visit to the Kurhaus a few weeks ago was absolutely pleasant. On the menu you’ll find very traditional German specialties for reasonable prices. My plate of Rouladen, which is one of my favorite German dishes, looked a lot like you would expect it from your loving German granny. Very yummie! With the traditional kitchy interior of the place you quickly feel at home here. For more impressions and details look after the schnaps.

With all the great Asian, Italian, Arabic, French and other international restaurants in town it hardly ever happens that I get a German dish on my table. Why is that? I love traditional German food, but for some reason most of my favorite restaurants are Asian. So on the quest to mix things up a little in my dinner routine I asked around to find the best restaurants with German cuisine in town. I guess especially for all of you foreigners in the city it will be interesting to try out some German specialties that are not sausages or beer… With the help of food expert Helmuth I assembled a list of more than 10 places that I will be checking out in the following weeks. Today I will start with the restaurant Zum Dritten Mann. More about it after the jump.

I love Arabs. Ha, how would anyone dare saying this in times like these. I do. After the opening of a new Arab restaurant/diner the Kastanienallee has become a triangle of yummie Arab food. Count the two further down the street and it actually is a fiveangle, but let me introduce these three. More after the jump:

An interior designer gifted with all sorts of magic, filled the rooms of the renowned the pop-up restaurant Pret A Diner with a secret charm. On the penultimate evening of the restaurant I had access to the candle-lit world. There I found beautiful pieces of art and guests who looked like mythical creatures. The occasion of my visit was the presentation of the new Range Rover Evoque. Like the white carriage of a modern day Cinderella the car was driven into the crowd. Though there was no princess stepping out of the vehicle, there were a number of German celebrities à la Jessica Schwarz who climbed inside for photos. I found it quite interesting that the host and speaker of the evening repeatedly mentioned that the car was designed by a really great designer who is NOT-gay. And I thought it was called straight. More photos from the evening after the jump.
