Berlin - Food?

[Housey]

Having a weekend in Berlin early March.

Anyone recommend foody / drinky places to check out whilst there?

4 days, 3 nights.

Sausages, sausages and more sausages

I love sausage.....that sounds wrong doesn't it

 

[Housey]

I am not going to be searching sausage.

Thinking more modern stuff.

There is a Mich star in the hotel but looking at something a bit different, doing interesting new stuff really, perhaps one of those places heading for stardom etc.

Block House is a very popular steakhouse in Berlin, on Alexanderplatz, people queuing each night. Decent and never had a bad meal.

That is more like it, will have a nose...though it does look a bit.....welll

Block House is a very average chain, tried the one in Düsseldorf when I lived there. Certainly wouldn't bother with a special visit, unless you really really want an overpriced, average steak.

It did look a bit generic.

But still thanks for suggesting OP

Which hotel?

It took a while to pick one. We were bouncing around between hotel or apartment as I tend to prefer the freedom of apartments on city breaks. However we have gone with the Ritz-Carlton because it has lots to offer, decent dining and funky bar as well as a pool and Spa etc. Having said that we also want to walk and see stuff so it's a balance, hence the food asks.

It's been 5 years since we were last there, however I remember there was a row of nice restaurants overlooking the river Spree. We ate at dusk and it was great looking out at the river when it's all lit up.

A quick Google maps and I've found these:

Nice one thank you will have a nose.

I remember having a nice bowl of ramen, was just walking around, also found a really cool ice cream shop too!





Nothing really fancy on this trip, your standard Snictzel and currywurst

Hungee now

I do like a keeeee bab it must be said. Not sure I’d go seek one out but as a walk in yes, my type of easy street food.

 

[Housey]

One of those cities Ive spent zero valuable time in. I have done quite a bit of bosh land, just never Berlin outside passing through.

Rick Stein did a Long Weekends episode there which might be worth watching.

Good shout will give it a nose, though will have to fast forward him actually eating as he is a noisy eater.

Couple of recommendations have been this weekend.

Decent, out of the way, but quality food.

Part of the hotel I was in, small menu but good quality with good wine options

We were booked into Ryotei 893 but never made it. Another recommendation from a local.

No longer need recommendations as the trip was last weekend. Shared what we found for future reference.
