Run by: Fork & Walk - Food Tours Berlin

Overview

This Fork & Walk walk starts outside the Michelberger Hotel on Warschauer Strasse, in Friedrichshain, and spends three and a half hours moving from Friedrichshain and the East Side Gallery into Kreuzberg. The route takes in the East Side Gallery wall and the street art around the district before settling into a run of food stops: schnitzel, Ukrainian soul food at Slava Berlin, the stalls of Markthalle Neun, more food at Leylak and Ketels Curry, and doughnuts from Brammibal's on Maybachufer. Six tastings are included, along with drinks, among them a Berliner Pilsner. The tour ends at U Kottbusser Tor, on the U8 and U1 lines, which is handy for getting onwards.

One reviewer was glad they had skipped breakfast before the tour, and the same reviewer skipped dinner afterwards because the portions were generous. Tastings reported by travellers include German, Ukrainian, Turkish and Chinese food.

Groups are capped at 8 travellers, the tour is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, and a vegetarian option exists if requested at booking. Guides are described by reviewers as knowledgeable about the area's history and food. Bring comfortable shoes, and note that a BVG transport ticket is not included.
