Run by: Fork & Walk - Food Tours Berlin

Overview

Six places to taste, spread across Prenzlauer Berg and the streets around it, all covered in three hours and thirty minutes. Fork & Walk runs this walk through a part of Berlin whose food scene mixes German classics with dishes brought to the city by its immigrant communities. The tastings are meant to cover lunch, and for some people more than lunch, so arriving hungry is the standard advice. A regional beer tasting rounds things out when the weather allows a beer garden stop.

The route starts at Espresso House on Schönhauser Allee and works its way through Stargarder Straße, Pappelallee, Dunckerstrasse and Kastanienallee, passing the KulturBrauerei along the way. Several reviewers mention that the guide shares history of the city along the route, alongside the food. One reviewer called the tour a wonderful beginning to a Berlin visit.

Groups are capped at eight travellers. The tour is wheelchair and pushchair accessible according to the listing, sits near public transport, and suits anyone who wants food, walking and city history in a single outing.

Come hungry. The listing states the tastings cover lunch, and more for some people. One reviewer advises arriving with an empty stomach, and another describes the food stops as very filling.
Walking pace. Two reviewers flagged the amount of walking, one estimating about four miles and another advising travellers to get their steps in. Comfortable shoes matter more than anything else you wear.
Group feel. The tour has a maximum of eight travellers, though one reviewer reported a group of nine. Reviewers consistently describe guides who are friendly and knowledgeable, so the atmosphere stays relaxed.
Food and drink. Tastings include classic Berlin street food alongside international dishes, with sweet and savoury both covered. A regional beer is included, and the beer garden stop depends on season and weather.
Accessibility limits. The listing lists wheelchair and pushchair accessibility plus accessible transport and surfaces, but one reviewer whose father uses a wheelchair found the uneven terrain hard without someone pushing, so check with the operator. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point sits near public transportation.
Weather and season. The beer garden portion of the tour runs in spring, summer and autumn, weather permitting. The rest of the route proceeds outdoors, so dress for the forecast on the day.
