If you want to know more, you can preorder the map already in my shop.
House of Small Wonder
(Japanese)
After a visit at Naturkundemuseum, you could have a fine lunch at House of Small Wonder. In a Brooklyn like atmosphere of the hidden rooftop studio you can enjoy a mixture of American-Japanese Tapas. My favorite is Okinawan Taco Rice.

Altes Europa
(middle European)
Through big picture windows you can already see the basic furnishings and old maps on the walls of Altes Europa. This low key restaurant is a welcome retreat in a very touristy neighborhood like Mitte. Their kitchen serves up a tasty daily menu of traditional middle European dishes. If the weather's nice, you can grab a table across the road and sit outside.

Yarok
(Syrian)
This is a little deli, where you can find fresh and delicious comfort food. I personally chose the giant plate filled with falafel, grilled vegetables, salads and fresh yoghurt sauce. As their food is one of the best Arabic foods in Berlin, so be prepare to wait a little.
