You can't leave Berlin hungry, especially if you're a meat lover! Eisbein (boiled pork knuckle in beer), Berlin-style schnitzel, fried pork ribs, Eintopf (thick smoked meat stew), grilled sausages with sauerkraut and curry, are just a few examples of the delicious dishes you can order in almost any café.
The most exotic option for our people would be the Hackepeter, which is a raw ground meat spread with egg and pepper that is spread on bread.
We'll definitely wash it down with beer - the signature Berliner Kindl, either the white or the spicy variety (beer in small bottles with berry or mint syrup). Coffee lovers can expect to find 150 varieties of the finest coffee in Berlin's cafes - be sure to order the famous Berlin-style pancakes with jam or cherry strudel to accompany it.
Another pride of Berlin is its fast food, which can be found near metro stations or at train stations. You can have a satisfying meal for around 3-4 EUR. For example, at the Friedrichstraße station, you'll find a predominance of Asian and African cuisines - sushi rolls, seafood sandwiches, meat in rice paper, noodles, and fruit salads.
The area near the Zoo Station is "occupied" by the Chinese - here you can have the famous noodle boxes with chicken or shrimp for around 4 EUR. As for truly German fast food, it is worth looking for it at the Central Station - here you'll find currywurst, meatloaf leberkäse with buns, and Viennese pastries.
