Delicious Southern food and attentive service at a restaurant in Berlin? Well, those are two things…read morethat I thought I'd never find in this city! Tucked away in Prenzlauer Berg, Southern Vittles is an authentic restaurant that checks all of the boxes. I haven't done much soul food exploring stateside, but one of my brunch go-tos is chicken and waffles. And since it's swept the nation from coast to coast, I've had to put up with various quirks, ranging from dry chicken to a stingy amount of overpriced chicken. But this was some of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The chicken was so tender that it stole the show, but the sweetness from the maple syrup made it taste even better. (Part of me wishes that the maple syrup hadn't been drizzled onto the chicken in the kitchen and that it would come on the side, but the chef poured the perfect amount, so I can't really complain.) And because I came on a weekend morning, I got to enjoy the bottomless coffee service. It doesn't seem that special because it's from your standard coffee machine, but what really made it stand out was how the owner would walk around with the coffee pot and ask if I wanted a refill. (Alas, it reminds me of how servers in the U.S. constantly come around for water refills...!) And the coffee also tasted better than some of the burnt excuses for coffee that some fancier places in the city sell, so don't look down on a simple cup of joe. Speaking of the owner, he provided the best service that I've ever experienced in a Berlin restaurant. The small talk (imagine that!) made me feel like I was back home in the U.S. The prices (given the exchange rate) made me second guess that feeling a bit, but I can't deny the deliciousness of the meal or the friendliness of the owner.

A proper Negroni is hard to find in the city that loves its biergarten and beach bars…read more But trust that my good friend knows where to find one. He found one in fact, that's so satisfactory, and even more fantastic that they have a Barrel Aged one for only €10. (this is easily $16 in San Francisco!) I had two of these and was about to order a third one when someone (blame my husband) decided it was time to go home :( okay, okay. He had a legit reason, we had a 8am flight the next day. That didn't stop the crew from ordering multiple rounds of brewski, from IPAs to classic witbier or just ask the staff for the current specials and they can recommend something to your liking. Centrally located in Prenzlauer berg, this is a fun and relaxing place to hang out. The group was in a bitter sweet mood as it always goes on our last night in Berlin since we only see them twice a year. No doubt, I will be back to Salt n Bone. Especially since the menu is unapologetically American and in the land of currywurst and doner kebabs, that's definitely a good thing.

This was another Berlin recommendation from my sister. On our first night, my friends and I were…read morepretty exhausted and wanted a low key dinner that wasn't too expensive. Mogg was perfect. It is located in an old girl's school. We made sure to make reservations as we heard this is a popular place. It looks like a small deli and has a really cool vibe with a bunch of tables. They have vegetarian options for those that do not eat meat. I ordered the pastrami sandwich that they are known for. It was really good. My other friend ordered the pastrami salad, another the Reuben, and another their vegetarian sandwich. It was here that I discovered one of my favorite German Beers, Bayreuther Hell. My friend ordered lemon and ginger tea and was given hot water with a real lemon wedge and ginger root in it. I noticed that this is common in Germany. Service was great, food was delicious and it was exactly what we needed after a long day. I highly recommend!

And when the amazing waitress offers a shot in a way to thanking for the generous tip, then shares one with you so you aren't doing a shot alone since others in your party couldn't partake...you have a place that is worthy of returning to. Go. Don't consider. Just do. And maybe make reservations to avoid just needing to be lucky like we were.

Went to their newly opened taproom in the Prenzauler Berg neighborhood. The atmosphere is cool. There are a mix of traditional tables and other seating options like couches, stools and barrels on which to rest your beers between sips. Our group of 3 wanted to try a variety of beers so we ordered six 0,15L offerings from their large draft list. It included beers not available in the USA and specialty pilot series beers. The beers were tasty as heck and the vibe great. Definitely recommend stopping in here for a beer or two or three!

There is an egg bar where you can get freshly-made omelets, scrambled eggs, or other egg options. (I don't eat eggs, but my colleagues had nothing but good to say about their eggs.) You can find American breakfast foods, such as excellent bacon and sausage. There are good choices of breads and cereals, including croissants that you must have more than one of because they are so good. How much butter goes into them? I did not ask. Good selection of juices, coffee, and tea, of course. The buffet is not cheap: we paid 43 Euros each day we ate there. You can make hotel reservations that include breakfast, and the cost adder is less than 43 Euros. You just need to eat every day to justify the expense. I don't think it will be hard to eat daily.
