Of note, the Hotpot was really hot and it hit the spot, and the Turkish grub was the most delicious thing I tasted all month.

Food in Berlin
Tuna sandwich and cappuccino at Caffè e Gelato in Potsdamer Platz.
Weird combination, specially for a place with good ice cream, but it really hit the spot.
—
Ramen soup and sake cocktail at Cocolo Ramen in X-Berg.
This is as good as the hype makes it. Superb food.
—
Pulled pork and brisket at Markt Halle Neun in X-berg.
Ana and Paulo took me there once and I love it. Every time I remember (and they are open, which is at very specific times) we give it another go. Meat done perfectly.
—
Sausage with mash and sauerkraut at Maximilians in Mitte.
Default German food craving restaurant for lunch with Telmo. Delicious traditional food.
—
Crisp knuckle of pork with Bavarian cabbage at Augustiner in Mitte.
Eating this two pound piece of meat was like playing “Operation” but in a delicious way. Another default German food restaurant. Delicious!

Designpanoptikum
Designpanoptikum – Surreales Museum für industrielle Objekte.
This unusual Berlin museum is a private collection open to the public by a film photographer who stopped photographing after photography went digital, and now dedicates his time collecting industrial objects he finds, turning them into surreal and improbable sculptures.
I visited mid August with my friend G. and we both had a nice time trying to figure out what the objects had been used for originally, while pestering the guide for answers.

At the Park
We spent a lovely and sunny Saturday afternoon with some friends, enjoying our neighbourhood’s public park, the Volkspark Friedrichshain.
(In the picture you can see my super cool red polka-dot bike bag.)
Botanischer Garten
If you like plants, nature and a pleasant walk in a pretty setting Berlin’s Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum is worth a visit.
In the four hours we were there we only managed to see the greenhouses (which are amazing!) and the museum but I would like to go again and explore the park outside.
It costs €6 to get in but you have access to the whole garden, greenhouses, and museum. The museum is very interesting despite the entrance’s 70s vibe, with the golden aluminium door and window frames. I loved it and we didn’t even manage to see it all. (If I was a kid I would have gone nuts.) They have exhibitions about where different fibers, grains, and fruit came from, very cool dioramas about cotton fields, prehistorical plants and animals, and many, many more.
If you are in Berlin, with or without kids, you should give a go!
Here are some photos taken inside the greenhouses.
