One of the highlights of our trip: we wanted something nearby but not fancy or touristy and found this gem. Buried on a residential street yet very close to Hackescher Markt, we wandered down on a Friday evening at about 9pm, found an empty outdoor table being vacated, and ordered a small meal and a bottle of wine. 9 out 10 tables were speaking German, the waiter understood English but put up with our German, the food was German-heavy but very tasty. An absolutely perfect evening.
