    Oh boy, this beergarden on the river Spree had the wrong glasses for Berliner Weiße. But the most important is the taste, not the perfect glass. I prefer the red one, and you?

    The famous sentence John F. Kennedy said in Berlin actually does mean 'I am a donut' all over Germany. But in Berlin a donut isn't called a Berliner, they are called 'Berliner Pfannkuchen' here!! In Hamburg Hamburgers are called Hamburger though ;) ...Oh the picture is taken from somewhere on the web of course!

    Quite often if your order a schnapps it will come in a miniature bottle. The tradion is to tap the bottle upside down on the table then unscrew the cap, place this on your nose , then put the bottle in your mouth tilt your head back and drink!

    Food and Drink: Try the beers

  • As most places in Germany, the beer is great and varied in range. You can't really go very wrong choosing one at random from your menu.

    Many younger people have rather small flats and would rather meet or entertain friends at local cafes. There are too many to name, both with signs out from so you can find them and those that are "secret" with needing passwords or to enter with a local who knows where to go. Any neighborhood you go to there are small "weinstube" and such things, nearly every corner.

    Very nice to sit and have a meal or just a beer and talk and laugh. This is the Schwarz Sauer cafe/bar just around the corner from Checkpoint Charlie Museum.

    The website link below is to a travel guide which can provide information for hotels, cafes and such. I know a lot of people like to research online before visiting a place, but really for Berlin..you can look up place you might like to go for eating and drinking online to get a map to location or something. But really it´s best just to get out and walk a certain area wherever you are and if it looks good to you, prices meet your pocketbook, go inside and have a nice time. Ask a local or someone who visits frequently if you are looking for a specific type cafe or restaurant to get a real feel for a place because over internet one can´t always especially if you want to go where locals go.

    Currywurst is the number one fastfood of Berlin. You will find currywurst stands everywhere. A currywurst is a sausage topped with ketchup and curry, served with french fries.

    Food and Drink: Berliner Weisse Mit Schuss
  • By smirnofforiginal on August 23, 2007

  • Described to me as "fruity & deoicious" - yeah - they saw me coming!!!

    It is a light, newly fermented wheat beer that continues to ferment in the bottle. It comes two ways - red or green. I had the red which is mixed with raspberry to give it it's "fruity & delicious" flavour. I found it more like drinking liquid sherbet. It was neither fruity nor delicious and I was certainly not going to give the green version a whirl! - Apparently it is sweet woodruff syrup that gives it the vivid green colour and makes it taste "slightly medicinal" (hmmm, sounds like a corker!!!)

    Berliner Weisse Mit Schuss comes in a whopping big glass with a straw and is a Berlin speciality.

    Food and Drink: Interesting Drink

  • In one restaurant I ordered a special kind of drink I had never tasted before. It was called 'Diesel' and was a mix of lager and coca-cola. I must say I didn't have very high expectations on it at first, but when I had a taste of it I found that it was really good! I can't tell for sure where this drink was invented but I haven't come across it anywhere else than in Berlin so far.

    Food and Drink: Ready to Order? - Close the Menu

  • When you are ready to place an order in a restaurant, close the menu. As long as you keep the menu open, the waiter will assume that you not ready to order yet.
