Berlin from a West-Berliner – in funny English
Pizza is everywhere, good pizza is very hard to find in Berlin. A reader drew our attention to “Sironi” at Goltzstrasse 36. They deliver in Schöneberg, but Charlottenburger have to pick up the pizza during the lockdown.
At the weekend, two-star chef Sebastian Frank opened his Austrian delicacy market on the terrace of the Horváth.
Schüsseldienst: Warm on the table or fresh food in stock for home. Felix Mielke offers his warm bowls to take away.
Actually we wanted to go to the “Restaurant Bass“, but there everything was booked out. So we walked down the Xantener Strasse to the Brandenburgische. At this corner is the Xantener Eck for over 100 years. Friends once talked about it quite positively. From the outside it looks like a bad tourist trap. Inside it looks old and cosy. Old style German.
You can also go there with your parents-in-law 😉
The menu is typically German with Austrian accents, but they do have also a good steak selelction.

I saw in a media release by Fork Reservation System, that they offer their restaurants with a 50 % discount. I thought it is some bait’n hook scheme, but no, we went to Restaurant Bass and had unconditional on EVERYTHING 50 % discount. Unbelievable.

Danish gastronomy producers present around 100 delicacies from 7th to 19th September
Fancy some culinary delights from the north? On the occasion of the German-Danish Year of Friendship, visitors to the KaDeWe in Berlin (and the Alsterhaus in Hamburg too) can feast on culinary delights all over Denmark from 7 to 19 September. On the food floors of the two department shops, 18 Danish gastro producers will be presenting samples of around 100 different products – from tea, liquorice, marzipan and chocolate to crackers, fish, mustard and sauces, gin, aquavit and other schnaps specialities. The Danish Weeks in KaDeWe and Alsterhaus are organised by the Royal Danish Embassy in Berlin, the Danish Association of Agriculture and Food (Landbrug & Fødevarer) and Denmark’s official tourist board VisitDenmark.
In 2020, Denmark and Germany are officially celebrating their year of friendship with many joint activities – culinary delights are a must, of course, as there is much that unites the countries, but also many specialities of their own. The list of Danish producers who will be presenting themselves in September on the 6th of KaDeWe is long, but still only a small selection of what the neighbouring country has to offer: A.C. Perchs, Borngros, Bornholmerhampen, Bottles by Malund, Cervera, Danish Speciality Foods, Empirical Spirits, FANGST, Gin Heroes, Karamel Kompagniet, Kjærstrup, Snaps Bornholm, Stauning Whisky, Summerbird, Syltet, VI.ER Akvavit, Økoladen and Østerlandsk 1889 Copenhagen. A highlight for all Berliners is also the visit of Enie van de Meiklokjes in the KaDeWe on 10 September. Between 13:00-15:30, the passionate baker and presenter will enjoy Danish products together with all those interested in culinary delights and will talk about her love for the neighbour country in the north.
The 6th floor of the KaDeWe is open from Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00, on Fridays until 21:00.
