Mitte Walk, 7 Tastings

Overview

Seven tastings spread across three hours, all on foot through Berlin's Mitte district. Secret Food Tours runs this walk for groups of no more than twelve people, starting on Friedrichsbrücke, the bridge at Burgstraße 19, where the guide waits with an orange umbrella. From there the route drifts through Rosenthaler Straße, Große Hamburger Straße and the lanes around Hackescher Markt, pausing for food along the way and finishing at Hackescher Markt itself.

The menu leans on everyday Berlin eating rather than formal restaurant fare. Included are a famous Berlin kebab, currywurst, a traditional baked local pastry, beer garden food, tap beer from a brewery or a German Riesling, a classic German beer, and a signature secret dish. One reviewer advised not eating much beforehand, and others described the foods as filling.

It suits travellers who want food and city history in one outing. Reviewers often mention guides sharing history of the city and the area, and one called it a good activity as a solo traveller. Comfortable shoes help, since the walk covers a fair amount of ground and is not wheelchair accessible.
