BEST THAI FOOD in BERLIN

BEST THAI FOOD in BERLIN

Naturally opinions are personal, but we were super excited and relieved to have found a truly exceptional Thai restaurant last summer in Berlin. 

TALEH THAI

Taleh Thai has exceptional fresh dishes, friendly and polite staff, and at reasonable Berlin prices. 

You can find their entire menu via their website here:

http://www.talehthai.de

 

Close to Volkspark Friedrichshain, and a very quick tram ride from Alexander Platz makes this place still quite central. 

Obviously due to Covid-19 restrictions, one can't enjoy the full dining experience at the moment, however they are still serving take-away options from 12:00 midday until 20:00. You can place your order by telephone: 030/42851030

Try it for yourself, support this local business, and let me know in the comments below what were your favourite thai dishes. 

Berlin getaway series: #1.3 SZCZECIN - Buddha Thai & Fusion

EATING OUT IN SZCZECIN - BUDDHA THAI & FUSION

Thanks to the advice on TripAdvisor we discovered a very satisfying lunch and dinner place named "Buddah Thai & Fusion". As it transpired during our stay in Szczecin, this was one of three new asian restaurants under one umbrella company. They are clearly an  entrepeneurial company, with advertisements in all the tourist maps, bus shelters and all main traffic areas in the city.

"Buddha Thai & Fusion" is situated in the Stare Miasto - meaning Old City, and the square that the restaurant looks out onto is one of the most beautiful and well maintained areas of the city. It is conveniently the most densely restaurant populated area, so it is worth visiting regardless if looking for somewhere to eat. Directions here.

When we finally decided to try this Thai restaurant - not really expecting to find great asian food in Szczecin, we were wonderfully surprised an impressed. 

For lunch I ordered the small crispy duck dish, and E a mango and prawn salad. Now I love a good duck dish, but this was AMAZING. So fresh and tender in the meat but perfectly crisped on the outside. However I do believe the chili count was wrong, as it was only supposed to be one chili heat, as was E's - yet mine was at least 5 times hotter than the prawn/mango salad. Still I managed to get through and probably gave my immune system a boost.

We finished up by sharing a Thai Ice-Cream Sunday, helping put out the fire on my tongue and immediately agreed to come back for a dinner another night.

When we returned for dinner the following night we decided to sit indoors and admire the effort that had gone into the interior  decoration, atmosphere and attention to detail.

Over dinner we took advantage of the cocktails (approximately €4 each) and tried a few more absolutely delicious dishes. During both our visits to "Buddha Thai & Fusion" our waiters were friendly and attentive without being pushy or hurrying us on, and spoke english exceptionally well. While the price is on the higher side compared to competition in Poznan the conversion to euros is not excessive and well worth it for the service and quality.

Buddha Thai & Fusion was definitely one of the best finds for food in Szczecin, and further information can be found at their website: www.buddharestaurant.pl

Try the duck!

Kaffee in Berlin Series: #1

KAFFEE IN BERLIN SERIES

After a recently being able to list to a fellow Antipodean (Australia/New Zealand) most of the acceptable coffee drinking locations in Berlin including what prices and what best beverage to drink, I have decided to dedicate the next few blogs (and perhaps beyond) to some of the best places to get coffee in Berlin.

As you may have already seen in previous posts, Antipodes on Fehrbellinerstrasse comes in at #1 - go to the post directly here: Best Coffee - however, since we frequent many locations during our week, and that many Antipodeans visiting Berlin search for decent watering holes, I hope the following suggestions will prove useful. 

Feel free to drop a line, make a suggestion, or ask questions about the specific Coffee Houses. 

Cheers,

Willkommen

Welcome to all to my first post ever!!

Having lived and worked in Berlin for over a year, I would like to share both my experiences and recommendations for anyone visiting or making Berlin their abode. 

I intend my posts to focus on culture, events, cafes, restaurants, general berlin life and bringing existing information of blogs and internet resources together to share with my personal experiences.  There will also be excursions to other cities and countries as my own adventures continue.

No promises as to how frequent my posts will be, but as I will be staying here for the first time ever over a European summer, it may just be that I have ample inspiration and sufficient time to really get this going.

To friends and family over the world, it will hopefully become a means of familiarity with my living in Berlin. Feel free to offer advice, suggest places to write about or ask questions, and I shall endeavour to do what I can.
