Berlin struggles with Mexican food in... every way. Taco Tales is one of ~three places that might tithe you over until you're back in the Americas. There is a nice little market in front where pozole, chiles, and other staples are sold.
Dong Xuan Center is a bargain-hunter's paradise. More than 400 vendors make up this massive site, trading close to anything you can think of. Don't leave without some Vietnamese street food.
Famous for its "streetfood Thursdays", Markthalle Neun is also a wonderful spot to come pick up fresh produce 🥬 or have a glass of wine 🍷 at during the week. Brunch here on the weekends is also fun with ~50 vendors to poke around at.
Exactly what you would expect from a Prenzlauer Berg farmers' market. Everything is organic, perfectly manicured, very high quality and... priced to match. Great to come to to check out, as it's nestled into a nice area (Kollwitzkiez).
On Saturdays it's a farmers market with fresh produce, meat, baked good, and flowers 💐. On Sundays it's a flea market. Busy area with wonderful bars, cafes, and restaurants nearby.
Family-run East German butcher shop pulling double duty as a fast, counter-service lunch spot. Glass cases hold fresh cuts and thick sausages, while the kitchen dishes out massive plates of schnitzel and pork knuckle.
Compact, tucked-away Japanese supermarket in Mitte with narrow aisles of imported groceries and fresh wasabi. An attached casual bistro serves hot bowls of katsu curry and ramen alongside ready-to-eat bento boxes.
Specialty cheese counter in Markthalle Neun with a glass-walled cave aging wheels of raw milk cheese. The tight selection is sourced directly from small European farms – staff offer expert advice on everything from Comté to Tuscan Pecorino.
Ghost kitchen specializing in take-home ramen kits with light, clear "chintan" broths. Orders are lowered to the street from a second-floor window in a red bucket; occasional pop-ups are the only chance to have it served hot.
Open-air stalls line the Spree promenade every weekend with original prints, jewelry, and paintings. Artists sell their own work under rows of umbrellas, chatting with crowds crossing Museum Island.
Longstanding Pankow butcher shop running a steady hot lunch counter alongside its fresh meat cases. House-made sausages and hot midday plates move fast, while the main deli cuts regional meats to order.
