    First night out in Berlin!…read more I came here with 2 others and we were lucky to have a seats because it appeared to have been full from all the reservations! I suppose this is quite the popular place! The reason this placed captured my attention was that it is a gastro bar...something I enjoy! TKOKOA is a Spanish and French fusion gastro bar...something I have never tried! So here's what we ordered: BREAD - Complimentary Slice sourdough bread that should have been brought out way in the beginnjng. I'm only complaining because we were starving and they didn't bring this to us until after we ordered :(. I was surprised there was no butter given; given that this is a part French restaurant! FENNEL RISOTTO (3 Textures) - €6,80 This would have to be my favorite out of the 3 because it's so unique and I don't think I would have ever orders it. Also it is called risotto, there actually is none. The fennel on this duh was made 3 ways: chopped up to look like risotto, cut into thin and wide slices to look like pasta, and creamed into a foam. The "pasta" fennel was placed lm a bed of the chopped fennel and was surrounded by the foam and I enjoyed every bit of it! It had a subtle creamy and rich enough taste with no guilt feeling because there were no carbs in here ;) SUCKLING PORK BELLY w/MUSHROOMS & GREEN APPLES - €7,90 I immediately orders this because I just love pork belly. The pork belly itself was good; not amazing but I enjoyed it enough. It was tender, flavorful but didn't have that pork belly feeling. The green apples tasted like chutney which I didn't care for but the I did enjoy the mushrooms it came with. All of this was placed on some mashed potatoes and gravy, which was delicious because the gravy came from the juices of the pork, which I also used for dipping the complimentary bread! Yum! GRILLED SOL w/AVOCADO CREAM - €7,90 I was quite impressed with this dish. As simple as it looks, the dish was thinly cut and therefore had plenty of flavor in every bed! The best part of this was the hidden spread of avocado cream under a bed of fresh spinach! The creaminess gives this plate that rich taste and balanced the safely flavor of the sol. I enjoyed this one very much! JACK DANIELS ICE-CREAM w/CHOCOLATE SAUCE & CHESTNUTS - €5,60 We were disappointed to how long it took for them to prepare one scoop of ice cream! I mean were they still milking the cow?! By the one we were going to cancel the daily special dessert they were already making it. This tiny portion was quite delicious. I didn't taste much jack Daniels in the ice cream and the chocolate sauce tasted like hot cocoa! I liked it but it took too long to be fought out. Although the staff were friendly, everything felt slow or neglected. It took them awhile to bring ha our menus, complimentary bread, and out dessert. It's a quite restaurant for sure and the food was tasty, but since portions are small (tapas style) I felt it was pricey.

    What a delightful place! Sampled the vegetarian truffle croquettes, the cod croquettes and the…read moreiberico croquettes and the truffle, unsurprisingly, came out on top. Also had the Sautéed Vegetables with Liquorice and Beetroot Soufflé which was nice but nothing spectacular. The 24h slow cooked Suckling Pork Belly with Mushrooms & Green Apples, however was simply amazing! I can almost still feel the fatty rich flavors on my tongue. Ended with a really nice Hot Chocolate Fondant with Mandarine Sorbet & Wasabi. Also had a nibble of my friends 36 hours cooked Veal Cheek with Califlower & Brussels Sprouts which unfortunately was quite tasteless. Choose wisely and you'll have a superb meal.
