International cuisine on Karl-Marx-Straße
Paolo Pinkel combines the extravagance of the 1980s with a touch ofBerlin’s underground culture. Amidst tropical plants, stylish leather furniture and colourful neon lighting, a diverse crowd has been gathering here since the venue opened in 2019. It’s not just the venue’s interior design that contributes to its huge popularity; Paolo Pinkel’s culinary offering also plays a part: here you’ll find three open kitchens serving dishes from different cultures – sometimes Malaysian, sometimes Mexican, sometimes Cypriot.
