Rüyam 2 Berlin

Natalie from Berlin

About me I’m Natalie, a Berlin-based blogger from California, USA. After studying abroad in Berlin nearly ten years ago, I knew there was so much more in the city to discover so I decided to move to Berlin several years later. I'm a copywriter and editor who works from home, so I try to get out and explore the city as much as possible because of my flexible schedule. On my blog, natalieetc.c...

Rüyam 2 Berlin

Berlin's Best Döner

"They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last."

Döner was invented by the Turkish immigrant Kadir Nurman in Berlin in 1972. So if you're in Berlin and have not tried döner yet, let me tell you there is no time like the present... and if you're in Berlin, you really should have the best of the best at Rüyam.

Rüyam is a crowd favourite in Berlin, and it's easy to see why. They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last.

I recommend you order the #1 and go for the gold with their Gemüse Kebap. That'll really set you up for success. You'll easily see why this is such a beloved spot in the city. If you're vegan or vegetarian don't fret! They offer variations with halloumi, extra vegetables, and/or falafel. Plus you can omit their yogurt sauce and cheese to make the meal fully plant-based.

There are two locations in Berlin, but I recommend you visit the Prenzlauer Berg one, as seen here, although you can find the original spot in Schöneberg. Both locations serve fantastic döner so you can visit whichever you're closest to, but the P'Berg location is my favorite. They offer ample seating, plus free black tea.

"...not just another bookstore"

"ocelot" in Berlin is really not just another bookstore. For example, here you can find children's books for Arabic refugees or even written in Inuktitut!

Backery & Coffee Berlin

Backery & Coffee

Neighborhood Turkish Bakery

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.

The Sanctuary Berlin

The Sanctuary

Vegan Italian Bakery

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.

Macondo

Creative Latin Cafébar in Friedrichshain

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.

The Berlin Art Market

Buy Local in Berlin

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.
