Berlin has some really cool places to visit for dinner. I only had one whole day so I didn't have much time this time to visit all the tourist places. Instead I followed my heart on what for me is more important, FOOD.
I managed to squeeze in 4 restaurants and one cafe into one day! I can tell you....after the third one my tummy was really squeezed into my jeans....luckily by the time it was time for the last restaurant I had had time to digest a bit and was ready to enjoy more....and boy was it worth it.
All of the restaurants had been recommended to me by friends of mine who have either lived in Berlin or just travelled there in the culinary sense and I really trust their taste.
None of the restaurants I visited were typical German cuisine...but honestly I wasn't really in the mood for Bratwurst, sauer kraut and schwein haxe at this time. I've had them plenty times before.
This time my culinary trip was let's say very different...not so much meat involved.
I went to three Asian restaurants and one completely vegetarian.
If you want good sushi...go to Kuchi
If you want good Ramen go to Cocolo Ramen Xberg
If you just want a trip to Asia with some typical street food dishes and flavours from Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia under some vibrant Bird cages go to Transit in Friedrichshain
but if you want to be wowed and surprised with new flavours of ingredients that are so common to us...then head to Cookies & Cream, a hidden Gem on the back streets of a hotel. In the back where Ratatouiolle the Rat would love to go, hidden next to the Garbage bins under a huge blinking chandelier is located a really top notch Vegetarian restaurant. The concrete room is filled with chatter and laughter with the background of jazzy music. Staff with a wonderfully casual and laid back style makes this the perfect place to be hidden behind the garbage containers.
The food was really good and I definitely recommend it for anybody with the love of food.
