    As my late-night döner habits can attest to, I wouldn't necessarily call myself a health nut when…read moreit comes to satisfying particular food cravings. (Carbs, carbs, meat, with a side of vegetables? Count me in--as long as you hold the tomatoes and throw in some extra grease for good measure.) So when it comes to fish and chips, I expect something equally as unhealthy and delicious. Dare I say even more unhealthy and delicious, as everything in this quintessentially British meal is meant to be fried. So maybe I was just barking up the wrong tree because I should've just hopped on a cheap Easyjet from Schönefeld instead of ordering a chippy in this corner of Prenzlauer Berg. After reading the other Yelp reviews, I realize that the most confusing thing about Der Fischladen for a first-time diner is that the side shop with the fish counter--the most intuitive place to enter--is devoid of atmosphere. And the other confusing thing? The meal itself. The fish in question was devoid of flavor because I couldn't taste the batter, though it was certainly tender. (A tad too tender, if you ask me though, as I questioned whether it was a little undercooked.) The chips seemed like frozen fries from a local supermarket and the ketchup tasted too much like curry ketchup for my liking, though I saw a later diner request what must've been normal ketchup from the server. Maybe we should just let British pubs do what they do best instead. And to be fair, it seems like Der Fischladen's specialities are actually the fish market on the side and all of the other fish dishes so the verdict is still out when it comes to the healthier seafood options.

    Tried their fish and chips. They are more expensive than their partner restaurant "fischfabrik". 3…read moresmall pieces for 10€ compared to 5.90€ at fischfabrik. The batter is definitely better at fischfabrik. If you are looking for fish and chips and a better deal - go to fischfabrik

    You're unlikely to stumble across this place by accident, unless maybe you're staying at the huge…read moreEstrel hotel further up the street. The location is -- well, rather unusual -- next to a steel scrapyard overlooking the canal, on the other side an industrial area criss-crossed by the iconic blue and/or pink pipes on stilts you can see all over Berlin. But it's only 10 minutes walk from SBahn Sonnenallee and definitely worth a journey if you enjoy eating outside in a pleasant walled garden, with the food cooked outside on the charcoal grill. Neptune meets mermaid wall art might not suit all tastes but it adds to the slightly surreal "where are we?" experience. In fact this is very much the classic Turkish fish & kebab restaurant, good value without being an Imbiss / fast food place. Service is friendly and efficient and the menu (in Turkish, German and English) offers all the choices you'd expect - we enjoyed the Wolfbarsch (Seabass), Lamb in Yoghourt kebab and ribs, most mains generally between €12-16 . Portions are very generous indeed and the salads fresh. Starters are particularly worth exploring, juicy melon and feta cheese, or the "Special" which is a mix of (hot) peppers, yoghourt in a spicy sauce. They are also large so you might wish to share. Upstairs there is a whole bar / restaurant inside but we have always gravitated to this place early evening when the sun is still shining as it's so pleasant to sit outside. Appears to be open Easter till Autumn rather than the whole year round, so best to ring first to see if they are open. Have paid with a card but one time this wasn't working, no cash point nearby so come prepared! I stuck to dunkles Hefeweizen (dark wheat beer), but my partner was happy with the (fairly limited) wine list. Needless to say Raki goes well with this cuisine. Fazit: definitely worth the trek unless you're afraid to leave the hipster surroundings of Kreuzkölln behind...

    An unexpected Turkish grill delight, a place for anyone staying at Estrel and it is worth going to…read morethis remote site for others interested in good food. I had grilled sea Bream and my wife had grilled lamb, both excellent. Seating is outside in a "beer garden" like environment. The surrounding area is industrial. Don't let the junkyard cause you to turn back. It is two blocks from Estrel, turn right as you leave the front entrance. I will go again if visiting Berlin. In fact, I went a second time this trip.
