Vietnamese michelin-level food without the price tag. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recommend the sweet potato tempura starters, the Autumn burger or the hulk burger (made with beetroot flavoured steamed rice buns) and the matcha mousse. All food is vegetarian :)

German "Knoedel" (dumplings) in delicious variations. This is a bavarian / Austrian favourite dish and these guys at Knoedelwirtschaftswinder do it SO well. My recommendation is

These are a quintessentially Berlin set of super quaint and charming courtyards that have little independent maker boutiques, cafes, an old cinema/theatre, and galleries. I’d recommend spending a Saturday (or weekday) afternoon here, especially if it’s a bit rainy. :) Even more lovely on a sunny day of course!

Available any day of the week! There's a super cute set of canals to walk along, which are charming on a sunny day or evening in Berlin. Everyone grabs a beer to sit by the water, some people bring paddle boats, and it's just very very Berlin vibe. Google
"Paul Linke Ufer" and "Maybachufer".
I often walk from Goerlitzer Park (also in my list) down to W Pizza (so good) and then along the Maybachufer. Lots of cafes and bars on the way also.

In the summer / when it's warm, Goerli becomes like a festival ground. There are DJ's from the neighbourhood trying out a new set, drummers, jugglers, people reading, people with their dogs, BBQ's, slackliners, you name it.
If you want something to smoke, there are also several opportunities here.
In the warmer months, Berliners use Goerli as a relaxed hangout, at any time of the day. Come and feel the festival vibes.

A wonderful French bakery with the most incredible choice of sweet and savoury pastries. Don't be alarmed by the queues, they progress quickly. My recommendations are the croque danish and the mushroom danish for savoury treats. Their almost croissant and nougat croissant are also insanely good.
If you queue on the LEFT by the bar it's for getting a table. Can recommend when sunny! One of you should grab a table while the other one orders, in Germany it's first come first served/ bring your towel ;-)
On the right by the window is for take-away!
