The experience

A walking tour through Berlin’s most-loved street food, with a secret dish along the way.

A guided walking food tour through Berlin’s bohemian centre, its hidden courtyards and street art, tasting eight stops that include a döner kebab from a long-standing local spot, currywurst, a traditional baked pastry, Beergarten classics with a glass of Riesling or German beer, and a Secret Dish revealed only on the day.

The guide threads the city’s postwar and Cold War history through the tastings, from currywurst’s origins to stories of the Soviet era, ending at a local brewery.
