Overview
Eat your way around East Berlin on this fascinating and flavorsome food tour, taking you to some of the most important sites in political history as well as introducing you to the top traditional flavors of this incredible city.
As you encounter some of East Berlin’s most significant historical sites, including the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, your guide will paint a picture of this side of the city’s troubled and tumultuous history. It’s an incredible insight into how divided Berlin affected the lives of the city’s population, particularly on the Eastern side of the wall.
A little further along in the tour, take a look at one of the last surviving Berlin Squat Houses, in addition to a Nazi and Soviet training space.
As well as learning of East Berlin’s history, you’ll discover the most delectable traditional dishes enjoyed by the people of Berlin today. You’ll encounter a novel take on the traditional kebab, combining Turkish and German influences, before savoring enticing Syrian flavors at an excellent supper club hosted by Syrian refugees. Here, your hosts will be happy to talk to you about their experiences of assimilating into Berlin’s society.
Get a mouth full of ‘Flammkuchen’ and learn of the debate surrounding its birthplace - who occupied the land this dish was invented in at the time, the French or Germans?
An East Berlin foodie’s tour wouldn’t be complete without an authentic taste of Germany, so you’ll settle down for a gorgeous beer and a Schnitzelbrot to round off your totally ‘lecker’ adventure!
