Dining in Berlin

Berlin is synonymous with traditional German food. While on foot when you visit Berlin, be sure to stop and enjoy a Bratwurst and an authentic German beer. These are for the budget-conscious shoppers or for those who are looking to sample just a little bit of the classic cuisine available in Berlin. For those who prefer a sit-down restaurant, there are many to choose from, but the best include the Margaux, known for its fine dining experience, and the Tizian. Pubs and nightclubs are also plentiful here, and for those who want to sample good German beer while they eat, these are the places to go. Some restaurants in the area offer their own take on food from other regions, including Italian food and Nepalese food. German staples are to be found at the street vendors and in the traditional German restaurants in Berlin. There are more than 25 well-known restaurants in Berlin, including the two mentioned previously.

A popular German staple is the currywurst, similar to a bratwurst but boiled instead of grilled. Most street vendors will sell these, as will some of the diners in the area. Dining in Berlin, Germany, is not only for those with deep pockets. There is food in abundance to suit all budgets. This was not always so. Before the Berlin wall fell, good quality food choices were somewhat scarce. Many restaurants have since changed the landscape, offering up dishes that reflect a culture of meat connoisseurs. Agriculture in Germany is largely based on the raising and farming of pigs and cattle, and German variations of dishes that would be recognized by Americans include the Boulette, similar to a hamburger, pickled herring, and of course, pork.
