BBB Berlin is More than a Mere Burger Joint

by
BBE23

Burger-hungry at Ostkreuz? Fuck McD’s, get a BBB. Berlin’s burger scene is all grown up. Gone are the frozen patties, and those new-wave hipster half-burger joints that appeared in their wake have all turned vegan and moved to the country. Now, thick, proper, meaty, greasy, but somehow noble burgers have taken their rightful place on … Read more BBB Berlin is More than a Mere Burger Joint

Santa Cantina on Simon Dach Strasse has been a long-term stalwart for … Read more Santa Cantina’s New Mexican-Fusion Menu

IMG_0049

Soma’s a new indie rock bar just off Simon Dach Strasse. Don’t tell the tourists. Rock bars in Britain are very different to those in Berlin. There, they’re stylish-looking people listening (and dancing) to indie rock classics, getting drunk and singing Oasis. Here, they’re fierce-looking people in black band t-shirts listening to thrash metal or … Read more Fhain’s Soma Bar Has Your Berlin Indie Soundtrack Sorted

Tentacion Mezcalothek is a Journey into Deep Oaxaca

by
Tentacion BERLIN LOVES YOU 2

Tentacion Mezcalothek, Oaxaca’s Embassy in Berlin, has a magical mysticism about it. Especially after a few mezcals. Tentacion Mezcalothek sits a side-street or two away from Boxhagener Platz. The usual Friedrichshain foot-fall doesn’t make it to Tentacion’s door, only people in the know – who’re drawn to Berlin’s most authentic mezcaleria. Tentacion is run by … Read more Tentacion Mezcalothek is a Journey into Deep Oaxaca

Oh Pie Gosh! British Food is Finally in Berlin

by
Featured

The British are taking over! Well, the Berlin food scene anyway. It seems Berlin’s food compass has recently taken a swing westwards towards the Great British Isles, and when we’re not chomping our way through haggis, we’re eating bangers and mash and Scotch eggs and other ridiculously-named Anglo foodstuffs. But now, thankfully, it’s the turn … Read more Oh Pie Gosh! British Food is Finally in Berlin

Santa Cantina Lays Mexican Food Clichés to Rest (in a doorway, under a sombrero)

by
berlin-loves-you-santa-maria-cantina-outside

¡Dios mío! With restaurants like Santa Cantina, Mexican food in Berlin is entering Phase Three of its evolution. Bye-bye burrito! Your carb-on-carb, I-suddenly-need-to-fall-asleep kiss will be missed. The complacency of international Mexican food, and its reliance on the ‘stick something in a tortilla and call it Mexican’ model has long been a fly in my … Read more Santa Cantina Lays Mexican Food Clichés to Rest (in a doorway, under a sombrero)
