1. Co Co Banh Mi Deli, Berlin
Great for a quick lunch banh mi sandwich at fair prices. Fresh ingredients that you can eat there or as take-out. If it's too busy, head to Banh Mi Stable nearby.
2. Chungking Noodles, Berlin
If the spicy noodle craving's got you, this is a good spot. Make sure to start with the spicy tofu appetizer 🌶️.
3. The Tree, Berlin
Asian fusion rice bowls and noodle soups with Szechuan influence. The menu also includes small plates - a great option for exploring different flavors. The space itself boasts a minimalist yet cozy concept.
4. Papaya Kantstraße, Berlin
Relaxed Thai restaurant offering a traditional menu that's perfect for a quick lunch bite. Easily amendable to accommodating vegetarian only requests. Watch out, when they say "medium spicy", they mean it.
5. Goldies, Berlin
One of many fries-focused options in Berlin, Goldies also does fried chicken sandwiches and at their second location, smashburgers. It's all fine in a pinch but some might like other similar spots better. Still good.
6. Angry Chicken, Berlin
Small and unassuming Korean fried chicken shop. Good wings, decent fried chicken sandwiches. Varying levels of spice.
7. Konnopke's Imbiss, Berlin
Tucked underneath the U2 train line closed to Eberswalder Strasse, Konnopke's is arguably Berlin's best place for a currywurst. Open odd hours, so check in advance.
8. Daluma, Berlin
Daluma is a vegan's delight, serving up smoothies, vibrant bowls, and great coffee. The flavors will excite the omnivores amongst us too - it's that good. Their avocado and toast is out of this world 🥑.
9. Mogg, Berlin
Famous for their pastrami sandwich and New York-style cheesecake. It's good, it's good! But it's definitely not New York. Try and grab a table outside for some Auguststraße people watching.
10. Katerschmaus, Berlin
The sister restaurant of super-club Kater Blau and beer garden Holzmarkt 25, Katerschmaus is a waterfront hidden gem that's great for lunch in the sun or a weekend pre-night out dinner. Fresh and local ingredients.
11. Mädchenitaliener, Berlin
Great Mitte spot for lunch with a focus on freshly made pasta. Can't really go wrong with the burrata either. Recently added a nice outdoor backyard for the summers!
12. Toca Rouge, Berlin
Chinese favorites with a fusion spin on them, so your senses are in for a treat. Keep your phone charged for the Insta-worthy dishes and interiors (check the unique bathroom lighting) ✨.
13. Dudu31, Berlin
Dudu is one of the higher end Asian fusion places 🍱🍜🥢. A little sleek, a little sterile. Does everything well, but nothing *great*. Good for lunch.
14. rocket + basil, Berlin
Homey little cafe from a celebrated sister duo serving an excellent brunch with a Persian twist. The mascarpone pancakes or poached eggs are sure bets - but you can't miss with anything. Also great for their lunchtime sandwiches.
15. Neni Berlin, Berlin
Neni has violated one significant tourist trap guideline, namely, it has an incredible view. The food is good, but nothing special, so just worth coming here for the ambiance and 1-2 punch with Monkey Bar across the way.
16. A.HORN, Berlin
Welcoming cafe with a plant-filled personality. The menu covers everything from specialty coffee and breakfast plates to lunches and cakes. An indoor-outdoor venue ideal for a caffeine-fuelled read or a social lunch with friends.
17. Banh Mi Stable, Berlin
Three options to pick from (pork, tofu, chicken) - all of which are excellent. Not a lot of indoor seating so either take it to go or curb it with a Tiger beer. If the line is too long (can happen), head to Co Co Banh Mi close-by.
18. Cocolo Ramen, Berlin
Traditional Japanese ramen bowls. Arguably the best in Berlin. The intimate space can only take so many guests, so there's always a queue, plus they don't take reservations. Two locations (Mitte and Kreuzberg).
19. Crackbuns, Berlin
The Japanese-inspired fuwa-fuwa buns are little balls of soft, fluffy goodness, and the Mochi fries are unlike any other with their doughy texture.
20. Formidable, Berlin
It's hard to find good "American style" sandwiches in Berlin. Formidable is about as close as you can get. Friendly spot with a large menu.
21. Izmir Köfte, Berlin
Finding a good sandwich 🥖 in Berlin can be hard, but this Turkish take served on fresh baguette definitely does the trick. Simple menu but everything is great to grab and go (it's right at Kotti after all).
