Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar is a Mouthful

Allan’s Breakfast Club_Berlin Loves You

Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar doesn’t draw the crowd you’d expect. “On Sundays, we have the families and kids for breakfast, the younger adults for brunch, and the kids who come straight from Berghain in the afternoon for Bloody Marys.” Allan, the proprietor and chief of Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar, tells me … Read more Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar is a Mouthful

Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Taco13

I didn’t expect Paradiso at all. When invitations were extended I thought we’d be visiting just another restaurant, the kind with space for 100 and scores of stressed-out waiters. Instead, we’re brought to the tiny shop front of a building on Oppelner Strasse, a barebones room that at first glance is easy to miss. This … Read more Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Refinery Coffee Brings Its Artisan Beans to Kreuzberg

Understated might be a good word to describe Refinery Coffee. Nestled just off the Spree on Albrechtstrasse, it’s easy to miss at first glance. Its interior is a classic example of minimalism – bare light bulbs descend from the ceiling illuminating a couple of wooden booths, a simple counter bedecked with numerous coffee-making contraptions, shelves … Read more Refinery Coffee Brings Its Artisan Beans to Kreuzberg

Bahadur: Is the Hunt for Good Indian Food in Berlin Over?

Indian 13

Bahadur is a new North Indian restaurant in Wilmersdorf(?) that promises authentic Indian food. We just had to investigate that claim. Growing up in the midlands of England, if you wanted to eat out you’d go for a curry. It was simple as that. And after five years in Berlin I’ve got an itch that … Read more Bahadur: Is the Hunt for Good Indian Food in Berlin Over?

La Lucha Brings the Mexican Riviera to the Landwehrkanal

BerlinLovesYou.LaLuchadining room

Americanos in Berlin jonesing for Mexican food can now wander down the canal for an upscale taste of downhome cooking at La Lucha. With its ample patio and a color scheme of flamingo pink and turquoise blue, La Lucha is more evocative of Miami Beach than Mexican kitsch. It’s cool and chic; definitely not the … Read more La Lucha Brings the Mexican Riviera to the Landwehrkanal

Oh Pie Gosh! British Food is Finally in Berlin

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

Kreuzberg’s Big Sur is California Dreaming Cuisine, on Such a Winter’s Day

berlin-loves-you-big-sur-2

Opened less two months ago, Big Sur is a fun, modern and affordable dining experience in the “New American Cusine” or “California Kitchen” style, with a very strong focus on carefully crafted cocktails and craft beers.

Akemi: It’s a Taste of Asia. All of it.

BERLIN LOVES YOU Akemi Ribs

Flanked by a Thai restaurant and a Tibetan/Indian restaurant, plus many other places up and down the street, Akemi’s spot is hardly lacking in the Asian food options department. So, how does Akemi distinguish itself? Well, its sign for a start. Walking into Akemi feels like walking into an expensive hotel. And, once inside, Akemi is … Read more Akemi: It’s a Taste of Asia. All of it.

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

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

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

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
