Eating our way through Berlin

I can say that we definitely overdosed on German food this week. Which is rather humorous since Buddy and I don’t eat a lot of German food as a matter of course. Too heavy. Still, with the friends in town, we felt the need to dine on German/Franconian/Bavarian fare for most of the week.

Two of our favourite little eateries in Berlin....

The group toasts a local Bavarian beer haus, Maxmilian’s. We would have loved this place even if the food had not been good…it was simply warm!

Our second little spot was Zur Letzten Instanz. Supposedly, Berlin’s oldest restaurant, dating back to 1525, everyone from Beethoven and Napoleon has eaten here (for that matter, every restaurant seems to claim Napoleon’s patronage). Prisoners even used to stop here for one last beer before going off to jail. Albeit very smoky (what German restaurant isn’t?), the pork stuffed cabbage rolls were to die for, right JB?
