“P.S. “off the record” – Da Baffi is without a doubt the best Italian food I have had in Berlin (and I am always searching).”
This was a byline in a mail from Molly the other day. I don’t remember when I discovered the little Italian eatery but sometime last year – and I still haven’t made it there.
But with Molly’s statement to proof that it’s worth a visit, I think it’s time to go.

Waiting for a place like Fiskebaren in Berlin.
Good product, sense of aesthetics and loving what you do = success.

I recently wrote about a new restaurant in Copenhagen I wanted to try at my next visit. These are also featured on my list:
Oysters & Grill
Recently, an Oysters & Grill place opened in Berlin too. Bebe Rebozo. Haven’t had the chance to test. Judging from photos I like the CPH version better though. Interior-vise.
- and before eating fish, check this visual by the Guardian displaying which fish are “right” to eat.
Geist
The brainchild of Michelin Star chef Bo Bech.
Radio
Another “regional/seasonal” concept. By Danish food guru Claus Meyer (originally part of Noma).
Rawfornia
Raw cupcakes (gluten-free), parsnip rice, raw bread, superfoods and more.
I’ve written about The Bird earlier. My favorite burger place in Berlin. I haven’t found its match yet but I believe BerlinBurger International is a worthy contestant.
The only downside: it’s located in Neukölln which is too far from my place to go sate a sudden burger craving.
But, I am one of those people who prefer to eat meat less often and then go for high quality. That means, I often choose vegetarian (or vegan) alternatives and luckily there are plenty of options in Berlin.
(Actually, I prefer high quality no matter what food so guess I’m a “qualitarian”?)
Anywho, a couple of places to check out, sorted by budget.
Broke Berlin creative-budget
Vöner
The veggie interpretaton of the döner.
Once a broke Berlin creative” but I sold my integrity to capitalism-Budget
Kopps
The newly opened vegan restaurant run by Björn Moschinski who is ex-headchef of La Mano Verde.
I used to “have projects”, now I make big money-Budget
La Mano Verde
Not only vegan but they also offer quite a few raw and gluten free dishes for the paleo dieters among us.

*UPDATE: Had lunch at Kopps the other day and wasn’t too impressed. Go make your own oppinion but I’d choose the steak…
Don’t think I ever posted these photos from 1900 Café Bistro. Went there ages ago. Some time last fall. But I’m pretty sure nothing has changed since then.
Worth a visit if you want to escape the Prenzlauerberg/Mitte crowd, enjoy solid food, great coffee, a variety of teas, and get the feeling of an “out of town breakfast”.
Das Geld hängt an den Bäumen is a great initiative that reduces food loss, supports local “farmers” and employs disabled people.
Basically, if you have apple trees in your garden, that provide more fruit that you can eat yourself, you can let them know and they’ll pick it up. The employees are disabled people or people from the “disadvantaged groups” of our society.
Also if your garden needs a loving hand, they offer to tend the garden as well.
