Restaurants

When walking along the Paul-Linke-Ufer at the border of Kreuzberg and Neukölln you will quickly notice that this street is brimming with restaurants and cafes. The Tintin might be almost the last one on the block, but for me it is the most appealing one with its minimalistic industrial interior (which by the way was done by the same people who designed the Panoramabar) and modern kitchen.
They menu looks surprisingly short, but considering I would have ordered almost everything except for the seafood dish I would call it effective rather than short. On my first visit I tried two dishes of the day menu which were the veal ragout with risotto and the walnut-potatoe-carotte rolls, as well as the club sandwich from the regular menu. All three dishes were absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to go there again to try out their new creations of their day menu. Some impressions of the food and more details about the restaurant after the jump.

Metti una sena a cera is the name of a supper club that Suz and I have been checking out the other week. The Italian proverb roughly translates to “Let’s come together and have a dinner”. And that’s exactly what we did. The hosts were an absolutely adorable Italien artist couple from Vennice who run their supper club twice a month in their beautiful spacious studio in Prenzlauer Berg.
The evening was perfect from beginning to end and I couldn’t even tell you what was more lovely, the food, the hosts or the other guests? My impressions after the jump. You can read Suz impressions of the evening in the German version of this article.

Last Thursday the .HBC invited everyone to the re-opening of their restaurant and bar. I had heard so many good things about their kitchen it was about time for me to try it out. The new interior is really beautiful and makes the whole place even cooler then it was before. New bar, new floor, new rooms for the restaurant and great food! The It Boys threw the after party in the pinkroom that was filled with styrofoam flakes. It was a lot of fun jumping around in it. But not so fun anymore when I lost my bag and sweater in it and had to go under looking for it while everyone else was jumping on top of me. Impressions of the food, the restaurant and the party by Katja after the break.

I kept hearing so much about Dudu lately I just had to check it out! The new Asian Fusion restaurant is located at Torstr. near Rosenthaler Platz. People are so crazy about it that reservations are neccessary most of the time. I tried the beef dish Kuh Auf der Weide which was really awesome and I like the rice that has a hint of coconut. Details and more photos after the jump.

For people who are either lactose intollerent or vegan such treats as cakes and cookies are mostly a forbidden pleasure. But help is on his way. For those of you who like good vegan food and sweet treats I can recommend a small Prenzlauer Berg establishment ironically called Hans Wurst. The food looks great and tastes quite fantastic. The address and a few photos after the jump.

Inside the vibrant Wrangelkiez a new restaurant called Eckstück opened recently. Its walls are covered by artwork of Berlin’s countless street artists. Even if some of the graffiti work does not reflect my taste, the work of Pabo and Hr. v. Bias is really beautiful. The menu consist mainly of pizza and the atmosphere has something of a student canteen. For all fans of street art the visit of Eckstück provides a good overview of the styles of many Berlin-based street artists. More pictures and the address, after the jump.

To try out new restaurants is more of a couple thing. Single women don’t eat anything anyway until they caught a new man and single men do not understand why they should spend so much money for food if they can still eat a lot cheaper at the snack-bar at the corner where it always tastes best. Okay perhaps it’s not always like that. But the little kick of the new thing can be enjoyed far better with the loved one than with friends or relatives. Visiting the Three Sisters will be a kick that I’ll save for later for a while. In morbid Casino of the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, this restaurant opened its doors to visitors not so long ago. If you are ready to engage with new stuff then you will find the address after the jump.

Last Sunday me and Katja were so lucky as to get a table at the pop-up restaurant Pale Blue Door from London that has opened up in Berlin for only 12 nights. We were seated in the midth of a little quirky village of shacks and huts that were build into a garden right in the middle of the city. The charismatic Amanda Pet who is as mad as a box of hair entertained us through the evening with her hilarious dance numbers and flirtatious chats at the tables. The experiences was studded with so many cute little details, it was quite magical really. You should try to get a table in the coming 2 weeks. More impressions after the jump or in greater detail over at Travelettes.
UPDATE: It has been extended until September 12th!

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t exactly warm up with the local cuisine when i was visiting South Korea and I’m equally unimpressed with the food at the popular Yamyam. So when I received the invite to the opening of the new Korean restaurant Kimchi Princess sometime last year I was not exactly thrilled about it. Especially since Kimchi is a dish I don’t really care for at all. But for some reason I landed there after all the other day and to my big surprise it was really so delicious! Their specialty is Korean grill and we took the standard which is thin sliced meat. With 16-19 EUR per person it’s actually a bit pricy for Asian standards, but so worth it. We ate it all until the last bit, except for the Kimchi that came as a side dish… Details and more impressions of the stylish restaurant in Kreuzberg after the jump.
