We tested this fancy new Vietnamese restaurant a while ago but didn’t have the chance to write a proper review yet. So here we finally go:
The tasteful interior with its golden walls, the polygon counter and white Origami lilies hanging from the ceiling makes the Chi Sing look really expensive, but it’s not. Though a little more pricy than your average Asian around the corner all dishes are around 10 EUR which I think is quite fair considering the love to details and extravagance they put onto your plate. I had Argentinean steak with a crust of fried carrot slices. What sounds not Asian at all really had the typical Vietnamese mix of spices and flavours in it, but with a very creative and unusual note. I loved it! More photos and details after the jump.

Being Asian, food runs in my blood. I love tracking down good restaurants and I am always excited to test the authenticity of Asian food in Berlin. So, it’s no surprise that the news of Heno Heno quickly brought a smile to my face and cravings for Japanese food to mind. Armed with a generous appetite and Keiko, my Japanese ‘food barometer’, we made our way to this little Imbiss style restaurant (read: no toilets) in Charlottenburg last week. Find out more after the jump.

On Saturday a supposedly new hotspot in Friedrichshain celebrated its grand opening. Qrazy Ling is not only an Asian restaurant, it’s also a lounge, a bar, a shop and an art space. So many things in one, qrazy, I know. We went to see what it is all about, and quite frankly, it looks promissing. With its traditianal Asian restaurant interior it reminds me a bit of a small Asian version of the White Trash. The food is yet to be tested, but what we saw on the tables looked nicely done. The enclosed What Ever gallery offers a small selection of urban art and wear. Go look after the jump for more photos of the party and the place.

A while back we tried out the Restaurant of the Cafe Schönbrunn at Volkspark Friedrichshain. So far I have only been to the cheaper beer garden that is located directly next to it. But the white table cloths and fancy plates on the terrace tempted us, so we made a reservation on a warm summer night to enjoy a dinner at the swan lake. I must admit that I haven’t seen any swans in the lake, but the atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic, in taste as well as in presentation. It is a bit on the pricer side with dishes ranging from 12-22 EUR, but I think it is worth it. I had roasted Barbarie duck and CR had sword fish in sesame crust with mangold. I can really recommend both of them. More images and details after the jump.

I’m sure some of you passed by this place several times while traveling on the S-Bahn. From above it looks a little like a pirate themed adventure park. But actually it is the beach bar and grill by the owners of the White Trash Fast Food. Located directly at the spree it offers a lot of space and some delicious grill rips that I can’t get enough of! It is also pretty family friendly. More after the jump.

This weekend the notorious Bar 25 celebrates its 5th birthday. We don’t need to tell you that this is the place to be for the young and restless of Berlin, because that’s not really news. But what you might not know is that the Bar 25 is more than just the most celebrated outdoor club in town. It’s also a restaurant, a hostel, a spa, a movie theatre and a caterer. They also run a radio show that you can receive via iTunes and a record label. Read on for more images and insights.

Not only is this Japanese restaurant extremely nice to look at, it also serves excellent food. The Susuru offers a variety of authentic delicious Japanese noodle soups on a regularly changing menu, as well as some side dishes they refer to as Japanese Tapas. We expecially like Edamame, a small snack consisting of young soy beans in sea salt, the Chicken Curry Udon, which is a very hip dish in Japan right now, and the Matcha Macchiato, which is hot milk with green tea powder.

La crapule is the french word for rascal. But you don’t have do be afraid that the waiters will be rascals in this nice rustic restaurant in Kreuzberg. They serve excellent french cuisine, with a mixed selection of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. It’s difficult to make recommendations cause the menu changes quite often depending on what fish and meat types are available at the moment, but everything we’ve ever picked there was delicious. Of course they also have a wide selection of french wine and cidre and some amazing desserts. The details after the break.

The Knorrpromenade is a tiny little street close to Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain. For inhabitants of that area the street is well known for its special charm. It has these old front gates at the one side which makes it the appear to be the entrance to a magical old cemetery. But there are no graves at the other side but a very cosy nice restaurant. The Kaspar+Hauser has a welcoming terrace and cosy warm interiors. They offer a mixed menu from Wiener Schnitzel to pasta dishes and an extensive selection of wines. Prices are moderate and the menu changes every two weeks. We recommend the Wiener Schnitzel with Wasabi potatoe purée if they have it on the menu. More infos and images after the jump.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The Schneeweiß is located a bit aloof from the Simon-Dach-Straße in Friedrichshain, but although it is a bit hidden it has become quite popular amongst Berlin’s hip-crowd. They serve what they call Alpine Cuisine and in addition to their regular menu they have a quite extensive menu of the day, which is something we love about this place. You can go there every day and always have something new on the menu. We recommend the “Saftgulasch” from the regular menu, it’s just delicious. From the menu of the day everything was great that we had so far, so whatever you order you can be sure they’ll serve something that will delight you. We also like the red “Hauswein”, although I don’t remember its name, I just know it’s an Italian from the Veneto region.
Althoug the place looks a bit expensive it is far from it and we already wonder how they do it. The main courses with meat are between 10 and 14,50 EUR and vegetarian dishes start around 8 EUR. They also have a selection of cakes, torten and excellent desserts. More photos and infos after the jump. Read on - Weiterlesen »
