Peacetanbul isn't just near KAMPNAGEL, the International Centre for the Performing Arts, it's part of it. The doors swing open between this cosy eatery and the international arts centre, making it the natural place to meet before or after a performance. Whether you're reflecting on a thought-provoking dance piece or still reeling from a bold theatre production, Peacetanbul keeps the creative energy flowing.
The menu is a playful blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences, with dishes that are as delicious as they are cleverly named. Have you tried the anti-fascist wedding platter? It's a feast of mezze, perfect for sharing, with creamy hummus, salad, crispy falafel and lots of love. Vegan currywurst, chips, tabouleh and a drink...
The atmosphere is very welcoming. Large tables encourage conversation, and the casual, open design makes it easy to meet artists, culture lovers and locals alike. In summer, the terrace becomes a relaxed meeting place where wine, Aperol and homemade lemonade flow freely under the evening sky. The Habibi outdoor kiosk plays good tunes as well.
And if you're in the mood for a film instead, the Alabama Cinema next door offers an intimate arthouse experience.
