Overview

East Berlin is a true melting pot and we have created an itinerary that explores the foods, events, and people who have helped shape the artistic neighbourhood of Friedrichshain.
From the traditional Döner Kebabs that have been a Berlin mainstay since the end of World War 2 to the introduction of new Middle Eastern dishes from the 2015 refugees, we discover 6 food stops that represent the rich tapestry of Berlin cuisine which sets it apart as an international gastronomic hub.

Try the delicious Vietnamese TyTy Tacos - an exciting blend of Vietnamese flavours and German ingredients and 3 different Beers.
Part food tour, part historical and cultural experience, you'll discover the true face of Berlin.

Clara did a wonderful job of introducing us to a unique, interesting neighborhood in Berlin. It was good to get away from traditional sightseeing and dining to find the multicultural side of the city. Highly recommend this tour.

We spent a fantastic 4 hours with Clara. Excellent food and a thorough knowledge of the history. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown East Berlin by a friend. We would highly recommend

Awesome Tour!! I had fun even in the rain. Everything was delicious. The history was much deeper than I expected.

Excellent tour highlighting great food and giving some brief information on the history and culture of East Berlin. The food was all good and the portions reasonable - enough for more than a taste but not so much we couldn't try a bunch of things. There are a couple of places I'd definitely eat at again if I was in that part of Berlin again.

My partner and I did a tour with Clara. It was really good! What was so cool about this tour is we got a taste of Berlin / east Berlin history in addition to the food. The tour is comprised of Berliner food (not to be confused with German traditional food), so it is a melting pot cultural foods, including shawarma, babaghanoush, local beer, Vietnamese tacos, schnitzel, etc. overall a really incredible mix of cuisines that are representative of Berlin. We also got to checkout cool areas that had spots we’d like to come back to in the evenings. Overall, this tour was great and I’d highly recommend it!
