Facciola: Come for the Food and Wine, Stay for Aurora and Brando

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU Facciola Eatalian Food Week Featured Image

“Buona sera!” she says as we walk into the place, and grabs my hand. Now, I don’t know her. Until that point I thought Buona Sera was that guy from Arrested Development, and there I am, shaking her hand as she pulls me into her restaurant. Does she know I’m there to review it and … Read more Facciola: Come for the Food and Wine, Stay for Aurora and Brando

La Lucha Pop-Up Review: Should Other Mexican Places be Afraid?

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU La Lucha Corn Taco 3

What gets me about 99% of Mexican food places in Berlin: the four-page menu consisting of about 20 different options is actually just three or four options repeated constantly. Do I choose the tortilla with braised beef, refried beans, cheese, guacamole and sour cream or the braised beef served in a tortilla with refried beans, … Read more La Lucha Pop-Up Review: Should Other Mexican Places be Afraid?

La Lucha Aims To Bring Berlin Out Of The Mexican Food Dark Ages

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU La Lucha Conchinita Pibil Taco

…Something’s stirring in the Berlin Mexican food scene (and it ain’t the refried beans). Word on the street is that there’s a new ‘Modern Mexican’ restaurant/bar called La Lucha opening soon. When? “Sometime this summer.” Where? “It’s a secret.” Without much more to go on, I tracked down the man behind La Lucha to ask … Read more La Lucha Aims To Bring Berlin Out Of The Mexican Food Dark Ages

Eatalian Food Week: Eat like an Italian Doge from June 13th-19th

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU Eatalian Food Week La Pecora Nera 1

What is it that makes Italian restaurants so great and varied? It’s not always the menus… They all have similar stuff on them. For me, it’s the different character each one has. From a humble trattoria to a wine bar or super-expensive restaurant, the people, the regional variations on classic dishes, the dining experiences all … Read more Eatalian Food Week: Eat like an Italian Doge from June 13th-19th

Schwammerl: It’s German Food… But Better

by
Berlin Loves You Schwammerl Outside 2

You know on Trainspotting when Ewan McGregor sinks into the carpet? That happened to me the other day… but I wasn’t shooting up on a dirty apartment floor, I was tasting Spargelsuppe at Bavarian/Austrian restaurant, Schwammerl, in Weichselstrasse, Neukölln. After just one spoonful, I was plunged head-first into a swimming pool of it, drowning in … Read more Schwammerl: It’s German Food… But Better

Neukölln’s Fellfisch Café & Schmuck has the finer things in life

by
BERLINLOVESYOU_FellfischCafe_1

During mid-afternoon on a sunny day, warm light streams through the glass windows of Emser Straße’s Fellfisch Café. Purple and aching-yellow flowers decorate each wooden table, and a Bob Dylan-Laura Marling-folk soundtrack breathes from the corner speaker. The occasional antique chair; the rodent-bone collection, tapped in a frame against the eggshell blue wall; the cookies … Read more Neukölln’s Fellfisch Café & Schmuck has the finer things in life

Bad to the Bone: An Irish Pocket in Prenzlauer Berg

by
K-MB_Jameson_DeadRabbit_Workshop_Berlin_20

With the annual Irish piss-up  cultural celebration that is Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, we thought maybe it was time to shine some light on a little Irish-tinged Berlin enclave in Prenzlauer Berg that not all of our readers may be familiar with, namely the Badfish Bar on Stargarderstr and its close-by culinary … Read more Bad to the Bone: An Irish Pocket in Prenzlauer Berg

Hirsch & Eber: the Berlin Burger that’s Wild at Heart

by
BerlinLovesYou-HirschandEber

Hirsch & Eber is a Prenzlauer Berg burger joint with a difference: it specialises in wild boar burgers and venison meat. In the taxi ride over to the restaurant, through Berlin’s snowy streets (thanks, HeyRide!), I was worried that Hirsch & Eber was going to be a little too hip – another of these “what … Read more Hirsch & Eber: the Berlin Burger that’s Wild at Heart

Abyme Vodka: Designed with Berlin Nightlife in Mind

by
Abyme Moscow Mule

What comes to your mind when you think about vodka? I’ll bet it’s Russia, Gorbatschow and, well, a monstrous hangover (or at least a slightly annoying headache). For me, it was such a pleasant surprise to have affordable Russian vodka here in Berlin. I mean, compared to the ones we have in Brazil, even Berlin’s … Read more Abyme Vodka: Designed with Berlin Nightlife in Mind
