Message olsvammel beers 8506 º places 177 º 02:08 Mon 1/9/2017 Hey guys! I’m going to Berlin at the beginning of February and looking for tips on where to eat. I’m mainly looking for traditional german food. For me this is sausages, sauer kraut, schweinhaxe and so on. But maybe something else is popular in Berlin. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Message rhoihessegold beers 6641 º places 417 º 05:51 Mon 1/9/2017 Konnopkes Imbiss is well known for its "Currywurst", so sausage with currytomatosauce.
Message humlelala beers 1377 º places 89 º 07:37 Mon 1/9/2017 There’s also the Döner Kebab: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24685617
Message olsvammel beers 8506 º places 177 º 00:59 Tue 1/10/2017 Thanks allot for the tips! Döner Kebab is quite common in Sweden as well, unless there is some difference Im not aware of. I wouldn’t mind a currywurst, I usually have one when I’m out driving in Europe. Any tips for where I can get a nice schweinhaxe or similar?

Message SinH4 beers 15477 º places 416 º 03:02 Tue 1/10/2017 I hear that "Zur Haxe" in Prenzlauer Berg ist quite good, but I cannot confirm, since I’ve never been there.
Message Nightfall beers 1313 º places 45 º 03:13 Tue 1/10/2017 In Germany Yelp is used a lot. So if you select the area you are and search for German Food/Restaurant and select one with good reviews and appealing fotos usually you are good to go. Check here : https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=German+Food&find_loc=Berlin&ns=1 I haven’t been to Berlin for a while, but the first on the list : Stadtklause was actually quite good, with great value for money.
Message pivnizub beers 12929 º places 633 º 05:19 Tue 1/10/2017 Forget "traditional german food", it is in most cases made by the use of cheap and bad meat, frozen vegetables and other "convenience" products.
Message pivnizub beers 12929 º places 633 º 06:42 Tue 1/10/2017 Quite good and mostly organic food is available in "Markthalle 9", the home of HEIDENPETERS brewery...

Message olsvammel beers 8506 º places 177 º 08:25 Tue 1/10/2017 SinH4: Thanks, I will make note of that. Nightfall: Thanks I will check it out. Pivnizub: I can actually imagine that but at the same time I just love this kind of food. Had some great sausages with sauer kraut at Hummels in Merkendorf outside of Bamberg recently. Also had some great food when traveling through northern Germany this summer.

Started with a schnitzel at a brewpub in Hamburg and it was just what I was looking for. Schwerin was a great town, we didn’t know much about it and went a bit on chance and it payed off.
