I go there daily during my lunch break. I miss it when I’m traveling. Food is inexpensive, the employees are friendly, and I love the big schnitzel, it’s a dog friendly place, so I also enjoy watching them there. The decoration is also nice, and you can make new friends (I haven’t yet tho).

One of the friendliest restaurants in Berlin. The three options are presented beautifully everyday. There’s also additional salads, fruits and also a cafe. Rain, hail or shine, it’s a great experience.

Hier gibt es jeden Tag die Auswahl an drei Gerichten, wo für jeden etwas dabei ist, auch wenn man kein Fleisch ist. Die Preise sind sehr niedrig und ich finde das integrative Konzept sehr gut. Am Eingang findet man die Muster der Gerichte des Tages. Man bezahlt dann an der Kasse und holt sich das Essen an der Ausgabelinie. Alles ist frisch zubereitet und es geht schnell. Hinten links gibt es auch eine Kaffeebar wo man einen Espresso, Cappuccino usw. bekommen kann.
