Die Henne

The legendary Henne on Kreuzberg’s Leuschnerdamm is a real Berlin institution. Berliners love it especially for the best chicken in town. The oldest restaurant in the city has existed since 1621 and is now a culinary landmark. In a pub tradition going back more than a century, this was a place for persecuted Social Democrats to meet during the Nazi era and the guests watched the Wall be built right outside its doors.

Dining

From a 3-course menu in a star-rated restaurant to boulettes or a doner kebab in the local snack bar — in Berlin there’s something to suit every taste and every budget. There are just no limits to the culinary diversities: Australian and French cuisine, exotic Asian dishes and the Berliner currywurst. Berlin’s regional cuisine is solid and tasty, served in cosy traditional pubs. A particular speciality is breakfast, which many cafes offer all day long — ideal for night owls who like to stay in bed a bit longer in the morning. In summer, the city life moves outside: beach bars along the banks of the Spree with a view of the water are specially favoured. They are perfect places for enjoying a cocktail or sipping a Berliner Weisse (wheat beer) after a sightseeing tour. The popular summer drink, a beer speciality mixed with raspberry or Waldmeister (woodruff) syrup, is something you really shouldn’t miss!
