The subject of food should not be underestimated at the Berlinale, after all, the mesiten are on the road all day long. But where do you go between two films when your stomach is already rumbling in the cinema? We have put together some tips for a quick snack near the Berlinale cinemas.
We have also put together even more tips for restaurants all over Berlin on our website.
At Potsdamer Platz
The Berlinale food trucks have become a popular meeting place for festival visitors at Potsdamer Platz. There are burgers, fries and kimchi.
The Potsdamer Platz Arkaden with theier restaurants are closed, but Auf den Hand at the northern entrance to the Arkaden serves small delicious meals and snacks.
Potsdamer Straße
If you have a little more time and want to escape the festival bustle, just walk down Potsdamer Straße (or take the bus). The traditional classic is the cosy Joseph Roth Diele. Besides Spätzle and Schnitzel, it offers tasty sandwiches in the evening as well as two lunch dishes.
Right next to it, three different soups are on the menu of the Löffelei. Delicious and healthy sandwiches and salads are on the menu at Rocket + Basil in Lützowstraße. If you want to dine a little more elegantly in the evening, you can go to chic Panama, Irma la Douce or Sticks'n'Sushi.
City West
Only time for a short snack at the Zoo Palast? At the bus stop of the Zoologischer Garten a Curry 36 stand for a typical Berlin Currywurst. If you prefer burgers, you can choose between Jim Block in the Bikini Haus right next to the Zoo Palast or the Burger de Ville in Kranzler Eck (only 5 minutes away).
At the Kantini im Bikini Berlin you can choose from different country cuisines - matching the film. And high up the Neni offers Israeli cuisine and a fantastic view over the City West (temporarily closed).
Friedrichstraße
And where to at the Friedrichstadt-Palast? The Peter Pane Burgergrill is just around the corner in Friedrichstraße.
Restaurant next to restaurant you will find opposite the Friedrichstadt-Palast on Schiffbauerdamm - from the French restaurant Ganymed and the Ständige Vertretung to the famous Grill Royal and the Indian restaurant Anand.
Alexanderplatz
At Alexanderplatz, within walking distance of the Cubix, a branch of Dean & David offers healthy and fast food with curry dishes, sandwiches and salads. A few steps further on in the Spreegold in Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße you can end the film with homemade pasta and fresh salads.
