Kreuzberg in Berlin, Germany is well-known for foods from various countries. Here are some of the best places to get a taste of the neighborhood.
Fisch-Schmidt
Founded in 1908, this popular fish restaurant is named after its original German founder. When he failed to persuade his son to carry on the business, he handed it over to his superstar 18-year-old Turkish employee, Ayshe. She and her family have run it ever since, and the restaurant still serves traditional German smoked fish and potatoes alongside Turkish-influenced salads.
Little Gourmets
This store is best known for roasted and sweetened nuts and dried fruit. Customers can buy the various sweets here and go to its next-door teashop which offers more than one hundred types of Turkish drinks. The store owners are not at all interested in rushing anyone-they encourage their customers to enjoy every last bite and drink.
Baraka
Baraka is a Moroccan restaurant named after its owner. Baraka's father ran a restaurant in Casablanca in the mid-1970s that was frequented by German business travelers. He thought he could make a killing if he opened a restaurant in Germany, so he did just that when Baraka was a young child. Today people arrive in crowds for the vegetarian soup, and the fresh bread piping hot out of the oven.
Noodle Soup Lady
Noodle Soup Lady is well known for its Thai foods. Its terrific beef noodle soup with thin slices of pork is slightly sweet and sour. Another classic dish at Noodle Soup Lady is a kind of spicy salad which is made just in front of your eyes.
