Must-Try Foods in Berlin | German Food Guide 2025
Welcome to Andrew Spencer channel. In this video, we will explore the top must-try foods you should not miss when visiting Berlin. First, curry worst. Our journey begins with Berlin’s most iconic street food, the currywor. Invented in 1949 by Hera Hiver, this dish is simple but unforgettable. Sliced pork, sausage covered in ketchup mixed with curry powder. It became a symbol of postwar Berlin, affordable and loved by everyone. Today you will find curry worst stands everywhere from Alexander Platz to the famous Curry 36 kiosk. Quick, cheap, and a true taste of Berlin. Second, donor kebab. Created by Turkish immigrants in the 1970s, Berlin is now considered the home of the modern donor. A juicy meat roasted on a vertical spit. Fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces stuffed into warm bread. The perfect meal on the go. Eaten by Berliners day and night. Donor kebab has become just as much a part of Berlin’s identity as curry burst. Third, Berliner fancushin or Berliner donut. A fluffy doughut filled with jam or cream and topped with powdered sugar. Traditionally enjoyed during carnival season and New Year’s Eve, but now found in bakeries year round. The perfect sweet snack with a cup of coffee on a chilly Berlin morning. Fourth, schnitle crispy breaded cutlets, usually pork or ve fried until golden brown. Often served with potatoes or salad. A hearty, satisfying meal that shows the comfort side of German cooking. Fifth, Eisine or pork knuckle. Slowcooked until tender. Served with sauerkraut and potatoes. Heavy, filling, and full of flavor. A true taste of German heritage that warms you during cold Berlin winters. Sixth. Pretzel soft on the inside, chewy and golden on the outside, sprinkled with coarse salt. Found at bakeries, train stations, and street stalls. Simple, satisfying, and perfect as you walk through the city. Seventh, cartel salat or German potato salad. In Berlin, it is usually creamy with mayonnaise. While in southern Germany, it uses vinegar and oil. A staple side dish served with sausages, schnitle, or at family gatherings. Eighth, Berliner visa, the beer of Berlin. A sour wheat beer, light and refreshing. Often served with colorful syrups like raspberry or woodruff, turning the drink pink or green, playful, refreshing, and a must try to experience Berlin like a local. Ninth, street food markets. The most famous is Mark Talonoin, a historic market filled with food from around the world. Every Thursday, they host street food Thursday, where you can try global flavors alongside Berlin classics. A true reflection of Berlin’s diversity, where tradition meets modern creativity. If you enjoyed this video, don’t forget to like and subscribe to Andrew Spencer channel.
