My July food carousel.

Save it and use it well. Every place in this carousel is genuinely worth visiting. (Well... except the pizza, because you'll have to come to my place for that 🍕

Ora
The oyster with cherries was one of the most memorable bites I had this month.

Otto
Tiny restaurant, huge experience. If you can, book the counter. You'll have a front-row seat to the kitchen.

Koji
One of the best sushi restaurants in Berlin right now. The quality is outstanding.

Irma la Douce
Still one of the best hospitality experiences in Berlin. Warm, professional and consistently delicious.

Mykonos Pop-up at Eins44
Everything was spot on. And that cheesecake... I still think about it.

Mardin
My favorite Turkish restaurant in Berlin. It never disappoints.

Homemade Pizza
One of the best pizzas I had this month... and yes, I made it myself. 🍕

Ständige Vertretung
Yes, it's touristy. But the Zwiebelrostbraten was genuinely excellent.

Homemade Sardine Pasta
Sardines, olives & tomatoes. The perfect summer pasta.

Strandbad Mitte
One of my favorite corners in Mitte this summer. Rosé, cheese and a slow afternoon.

Hasir in Kotti
Still one of the city's best döner kebabs. Some classics stay classics.

Ari's Smash Burger
Lives up to the hype. One of my favorite smash burgers in Berlin.

Indonesian Fried Chicken
Fried chicken is always a good idea, but Indonesian fried chicken is on another level. And that coconut rice... 🔥

House of Small Wonder
The mentaiko scallop pasta is one of my favorite dishes in Berlin right now. Have it before it disappears from the menu.

Where should I go in August?

Raven joined me for a Kreuzberg tour, and it turned into such a lovely afternoon, the kind that unfolds naturally through good conversation and shared curiosity ✨

I’m very grateful to do what I do, and especially to receive such thoughtful words from professionals in the field 🍻 It was a real pleasure meeting you and sharing a piece of my Berlin.

Mead 🍯 is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world. It’s made by fermenting honey with water, but modern meaderies push it much further. With fruit, acidity and barrel aging, it can become surprisingly dry, complex and closer to wine or sour beer than to the sweet “medieval” image many people still have.

Yesterday I joined a barrel-aged mead tasting at in Kreuzberg, hosted by Cihan. We tasted 12 rare meads in four flights from very unique editions.

These were my final five of the night:

Barrel Aged Lemon Blueberry Scone – Garagiste
Blueberries, lemon pie and lemon curd with butter cookies, juniper and a touch of bitter almond.

Barrel Aged Colada Vibes – Garagiste
Apricot ice-pop and cotton candy aromatics, still dry, with the barrel showing more on the palate.

BA Prelude – White Chocolate & Vanilla – Garagiste
Very vanilla driven with cinnamon baked apple and an unusual fermented-butter note.

Bourbon Barrel Aged 1+1+1+1 = 5 – Garagiste
Pine / tannenzapfen on the nose with red cherry notes.

Rebuttal – Schramm’s Meadery
Sherry and port aromatics but dry and sour, with kriek-like cherry, bitter chocolate and tonic bitterness. Extremely complex.

If you want the full list of all 12 meads and my impressions, comment below and I’ll post them.

Winter visit to Hegelbach 🧀

One of the nice things about visiting a small dairy like Hofgemeinschaft Heggelbach is how short the journey is. The milk comes from the cows on the farm and goes straight into the dairy.

From there the cheeses move down to the cellar, where they slowly age on wooden shelves.

After seeing the whole process, I couldn’t resist taking home their ready-made fondue mix, made from those same cheeses.

Back home it was simple: melt it in a pot, tear some bread, and start dipping.

Elements of Food x .berlin

We’ve been talking about doing this for a while, and it’s finally here.
Elements of Food is expanding with our first-ever collaboration. We’ve teamed up with .berlin, a Yiddish streetwear label that fits right into the Berlin aesthetic we love.
"KOSCHER, sometimes." It’s a play on the traditions we encounter on our tours. Sometimes we follow them, sometimes we just appreciate the history, and most of the time, we're just here for the food.

Want one?
Online: You can buy it directly from the .berlin shop (link in bio).
On Tour: If you’re booked for a tour with us, you get a special discount and can pick up your shirt directly from your guide while we’re out.
See you on the streets 🥔👕
