#ATXFoodGuyAbroad – Berlin

If you’ve been following along, I recently spent a bit of time in Europe with my friends @atxcocktails, @atxbeerguy, and Steve. During this trip I’ve had a few people reach out asking for my recommendations for an upcoming visit so I’ve decided to sum up each city I visited by grouping all of that city’s posts in one blog entry. So, this is the first summary about my time in Berlin!

Thurmann Backerei & Konditorei

Walking down the street and found this coffee shop and bakery so I stopped in for a little spot of breakfast. Got a very tasty donut with apple juice from the Fruitopia brand but unlike the Fruitopia in the US this is actually juice!

Standige Vertretung

Having a nice chat over a delicious kölsch from @staevberlin with @atxcocktails. A patio, 78° weather, cool breeze, cold beer, and a good friend translates to a lovely time in any language.

Ein schwartzbier, ein pilsner, und ein pretzel! Sitting for a minute at the @pratergarten in Berlin with @atxcocktails.

The Big Dog

The first thing I had when I got to Berlin was currywurst from @thebigdog_berlin and it was delicious! Great way to start my time in this city! What's kind of cool/weird is the Berlin Wall would have gone straight through this restaurant, if it were still standing today.

Strandbar

Well, it's another German beer just in different picturesque locale. This was on the waterfront next to Strandbar Mitte. Such a lovely day to enjoy multiple glasses of beer around the city of Berlin.

Tommi’s Burger Joint

View this post on Instagram

According to some lists, this is the best burger in Berlin from a place called Tommi's @burgerjointde. It certainly was an awesome burger with a patty that was seasoned perfectly. Couple that with the beautifully melted cheese and traditional toppings and you're gonna have a happy customer!

Schwarzwaldstuben

Easily one of the best meals I had in Berlin was this linsen, spätzle und saitenwürstle dish. It was from a little neighborhood gem called @schwarzwaldstuben that @atxbeerguy had bookmarked that I would happily visit again. Spätzle is a lovely soft egg noodle, linsen are lentils, and saitenwürstle is a Vienna style frankfurter and when combined are freaking delicious!

Tadim

This is a fantastic döner kebap from @tadim.berlin. When they ask what you want on it, always say everything, otherwise what are you even doing? Thank you for the recommendation, @philipkilani it was delicious! By the way, I love recommendations for food so if you ever see I'm in a city you know, feel free to shoot me a message and if you ever need recs, just ask!

Dicke Wirtin

Finally got to try @dickewirtinberlin with @atxcocktails and @atxbeerguy while we were in Berlin. I'd just eaten that awesome döner from Tadim so I didn't have a lot of stomach space left so I decided to fill the gaps with soup. This is the Kartoffelsuppe mit Knackerscheiben, a potato soup with small slices of knackwurst. It was awesome, very light, and allowed me to test the quality of the place.

Burgermeister

"Another burger," you might say, but this one was even better than the last one, in my opinion. A beautiful cheeseburger with all the fixings with chili cheese fries with jalapenos and an Afri Kola. Did I mention this burger place is in a building that used to be a public toilet? Yeah, that's a thing. Delicious burgers from a public toilet… Well, when in Berlin!

Klunkerkranich

Almost 5PM in Texas and I'm reminiscing about the cold beer and cooler summer temperatures in Berlin. This 108° Texas summer is for the birds. This is the view from the rooftop biergarten in Berlin called @klunkerkranich which has great views of the city and sunsets. Thank you for the recommendation @sagamilena!

My Travel Buddies and I at Klunkerkranich

Not a bad group of folks to visit Europe with. This photo was taken at @klunkerkranich which is a Bohemian style beer garden located on top of a parking structure in Berlin. Great views with a nice selection of drinks. It's a great place to hang out and watch the sunset with some friends over some beers. Thank you for the recommendation @sagamilena!
