Berlin has been feasting its way through the cuisines of the world with finger food taken to the next level with high-quality ingredients, surprising flavours, and exotic influences. We think it’s time for an overview.

The Ultimate Guide to Street Food in Berlin

How Berlin feasts its way around the world

Berlin’s street food scene is constantly evolving. Demand is increasing, there’s much more on offer, and the number of events is just exploding. These include strictly street food markets such as the Bite Club on the Arena grounds or Street Food Thursday in Markthalle Neun.

But new markets both indoors and out are embracing the trend with small food stalls and trendy street food trucks side-by-side the traditional market stalls.

The best thing about finger food: there’s always something new to discover. Like tapioca from Brazil, vegan biscuit ice cream, and Taiwanese hamburgers.

We’ve put together an updated overview of Berlin’s street food markets. And one thing is certain: no matter where you are in Berlin, street food heaven just around the corner.
