Berlin Food Favorites You Will Love

This is a city teeming with both Michelin-starred restaurants and food trucks. Some Berlin restaurants are temples to sausage while others omit all forms of meat from their menus.

And it’s just as easy to find tasty food from halfway around the world as it is to chow down on traditional German dishes.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of the food choices in Berlin? We recommend starting your culinary exploration with the following Berlin food favorites.
