Strolling through the neighbourhoods of the old West Berlin, you will find just as many bars worth visiting as in the East – albeit them possibly being a little more hidden and spread out. Galander Bar on Stuttgarter Platz in Charlottenburg is one of those hidden gems. A long time ago this place was known as Mon Cheri, a brothel well known for its raucous parties. This chapter has long been closed, however, and is only referenced by a large mural in the main room of a lady in 20s style clothing, carrying a martini glass.
Today's guests can either find a seat at the bar, or in one of the comfy seating arrangements that line the room. Dark wood paneling, high ceilings, leather armchairs and a huge chandelier give off an art nouveau vibe reminiscent of the Golden Twenties.
Air purists rejoice: The bar was converted to a non-smoking bar in 2020.

My favorite item they offer has to be their potato gözleme: it's a generous portion that's rich, flavorful, and both crispy and soft.

"Balaram" in Berlin is a vegan ice cream shop. They have 12 varieties and extra toppings are free! It's very good, it doesn't taste like ice or sherbet...

A classic slice of pepperoni or truffle mushroom is the way to go here, although they offer other great toppings like olive, ricotta, salsiccia, and even vegan butternut squash.

The best part? Every plant is available for purchase so you can take a bit of the café home with you! From seedlings and succulents to plants that may require a little extra help to get out of the coffee shop.

I am a big fan of their pistachio maritozzo which is a soft Roman bun filled with cream and topped with crushed pistachios. It's absolutely amazing, and not overwhelmingly sweet.

My favorite thing to order might just be their #17 plate which comes with stewed vegetables, fresh salad, butter-simmered chicken, chickpeas, lean beef, and collared greens.

One word to describe Macondo? Bustling! It's not the place if you need a quiet space to work, but it's nice if you want to have it all: work, play, wine, and coffee.

Heisser Hobel stands out through their use of quality ingredients. Their dairy ingredients are collected from an organic family-run dairy farm, and their noodles are made in their stall throughout the day.

Baked goods are made with ingredients made in-house or purchased from local suppliers. All food waste and single-use items (ie recycled compostable napkins) are turned into soil with their Gersi composting machine.

I suggest stopping by the Berlin Art Market by the Zeughaus to pick up a locally created art piece. Since the market is located in the center of Museum Island it's easy to reach.
