Berlin Trends and Classics Food Tour - Prenzlauer Berg

Discover the flavours, stories, and soul of Berlin on this immersive food and culture tour through Prenzlauer Berg. Once a stronghold of East Berlin’s squatting scene, today this leafy district is one of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods—home to historic charm, creative energy, and some of Berlin’s best hidden eateries.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a bite of East Berlin’s rarest culinary relic: the city’s last-standing GDR-era hot dog. From here, your local foodie guide leads you through cobblestone streets and picturesque courtyards, unveiling the district’s transformation from war-torn and divided to vibrant and desirable.

Enjoy a guided tasting at a hidden specialty coffee roaster, followed by a stop at a beloved artisan bakery for handmade pastries and what might just be Berlin’s best cheesecake. Meander through Wilhelminian architecture and colourful side streets as your guide shares stories of daily life, rebellion, and reinvention.

In the heart of the tour, meet the passionate founder of a one-of-a-kind food concept blending Austrian cuisine with Asian influences—served as fluffy fusion bao. Her journey is as inspiring as her flavours.

Continue into the iconic Kollwitzkiez, a neighbourhood steeped in history—from Jewish roots to postwar squats to gentrified renaissance. Here, dive into Berlin’s multicultural heritage with tastings that highlight the deep influence of immigrant communities on the city’s food culture.

Finally, conclude with a sweet touch: in summer, enjoy a scoop of locally made ice cream; in colder months, savour a warm Zimtschnecke (cinnamon roll) as you watch bakers craft them by hand.

We curated this food tour experience for small, intimate groups to discover the places that are not on the tourist map and where the locals eat. But most importantly, eateries which tell the story of Berlin through its food and culture.
