Are you planning a trip to Germany’s capital city, Berlin? If so, you definitely need to check out these delicious and distinctive dishes that you should try during your vacation. German cuisine is known for its unique, hearty foods, and the specialities in Berlin are no different!
Pretzels
Germany is the home of pretzels, so where better to try one than its capital? Head to any bakery (earlier is better, as these can sell out fast!) to purchase a soft, salty pretzel. You can often buy these filled with options such as cream cheese or ham, but they’re great enjoyed plain, too.
Kartoffelpuffer (Potato Pancake)
These fantastic little snacks will be available from many cafes and restaurants across Berlin. A simple dish of fried grated potato, you can get these with a side of apple sauce, or topped with eggs if you’re feeling hungrier.
Currywurst
This German classic is worth trying at least once. A traditional sausage is coated in a mild, flavorful curry sauce, to create this unique and distinctive dish. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but if you like it then it makes a great option for a quick lunch stop.
