Evening food tour:
three restaurants,
three courses
A dinner that moves through Mitte. We meet at 18:30, walk to three restaurants: starters to share in the first, a main course in the second and desserts to share in the third. On the way we tell the story of the neighbourhood and of how Berlin eats today: who opened these places, what changed in the city’s kitchens, and what Berliners order when they go out. The evening takes about three and a half to four hours.
What we eat
Starters: modern German cooking, plates to share.
Main course: contemporary international cooking, with side dishes.
Desserts: a mix of desserts to share.
Drinks are included with every course.

Not at the moment. Every cooking class is private, for a group of 2 to 25 guests, and so are our evening food tours for team events.
