The fried sweet potatoes are also pretty amazing here too!

Price: Original Bao Burger: 6.70 Euro

drink:
Plater: Without a cold glass of beer from Berlin’s oldest and most famous beer garden, your visit to Berlin is not complete. This place is an institution. The lush beer garten in summer is far less than beer and brouturst!
Location: Kastanienallee 7-9, 10435
wine: The institution actually includes three different wine bars in Berlin, all of which operate under the honor system. For a price of 2 euros, you can rent a glass and sample as much wine as you like. At the end of the night, you pay as much as you think your wine is worth it. I love the reliable nature of this place. There aren’t many places like this anymore.
