We happened upon this place because it was near an appointment. What an amazing accidental find!
Full disclosure: we live here in Berlin, but I'm from Texas, so my standards for burgers are pretty high.
Every single thing we ate here was AMAZING! The burger was good quality meat, cooked just right without a bunch of grease. No soggy buns here! I also highly recommend this Luftbrücke Signature. It has all the standard toppings of a burger, plus Gouda, Bacon, Avocadocreme, jalapeño slices and grilled onions. None of these flavors over took the others, they just worked perfectly well together.
The Kimchi Cheese fries where also perfect. But I was skeptical. We lived in Austin, Texas a while back and there's a place there that's Korean/Tex-Mex fusion. They have a tofu kimchi fries that I'd bathe in if I could. Could Luftbrücke actually feed my longing for that old favorite? The answer isn't just yes...they literally out did those fries in Austin. The Kimchi was so fresh and delicately spicy. The cheese was slightly melty between layers of perfectly crisp fries. Fusion perfection.
The fish and chips were also lovely. They were a great version of a standard dish. Lightly fried, not dripping with grease. Just wonderfully flakey and light.
The icing was the kind owner. I have never gotten service like this in Berlin. He was so nice and attentive. I don't have a high level of demand from servers. They have a hard job and I truly respect that. I also appreciated these little gestures, like hearing a utensil drop and immediately coming out to ask if we needed another one.
Luftbrücke is now easily one of our new favorites in Berlin. read more
