Sardinen Bar Berlin

Sardinen Bar Berlin

Very special canned fish

Josephine from Berlin

About me Hi! I’m Josephine, a Berlin local since 2008. I grew up in Munich, in the south of Germany, and moved here as a teen. This means I had to learn all my local knowledge from scratch and be it on foot or by bike, to this day I have never lost the drive to explore Berlin! A foodie through and through, finding and testing new, engaging places that serve or produce good food ...
""Sardinen Bar" in Berlin is a gourmet bistro all about (premium hand-picked) canned fish. I recommend ordering 1-2 cans per person and taking it from there"

Sardines are the principal performers here! This gourmet bistro in Schöneberg is all about canned fish, which is considered a delicacy in France and Portugal. Needless to say, the canned goods served here have absolutely nothing to do with the supermarket variety. Every single brand is hand-picked by owner Thomas Vetter, who came to love canned fish during his international career as a chef and opened this very special restaurant in 2016.

Come here for a casual lunch or a light dinner. The menu can seem quite daunting – so many choices! Apart from sardines there are also variations of tuna, mackerel and others to choose from, plus a selection of wines that go perfectly with them. When I was there I just picked three cans fairly randomly and was very satisfied indeed. The cans are served on a decorative wooden platter together with a small salad and baguette, which is replenished if you ask politely. Most cans cost between eight and twelve Euros. I recommend ordering one to two cans per person to start with and go on exploring the menu as far as your appetite allows!

About me Hi! I’m Josephine, a Berlin local since 2008. I grew up in Munich, in the south of Germany, and moved here as a teen. This means I had to learn all my local knowledge from scratch and be it on foot or by bike, to this day I have never lost the drive to explore Berlin! A foodie through and through, finding and testing new, engaging places that serve or produce good food is what I enjoy most. Since I work in Tech, you can bet I have some sort of kanban board to keep track of my discoveries. Why Berlin? I love Berlin because every single district, or...

What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

Libanon Falafel Berlin

Libanon Falafel

Berlin's Cheapest Snack

For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
