Once one of Berlin's edgier neighborhoods, Prenzlauer Berg has become more of a food destination over the years, as it's welcomed an ongoing influx of creative professionals and new families with young children. Many of the restaurants here are well-established stalwarts, with a loyal clientele. Newcomers are just as likely to offer large, welcoming spaces, but have friendlier service, and more international menus.
Under the tracks of the elevated U2 subway line is Berlin's most beloved sausage stand. Konnopke's is a family business that's been around since 1930 and, though there are several options on the menu, this place is famous for its currywurst, which is served on a paper tray with a plastic prong that can be used to spear the sauce-covered sausage slices; with French fries and a pilsner, this is one of the quintessential Berlin meals.
The menu is all about meat, of course, with several beef cuts available from the grill---tenderloin, rib eye, or entrecote---along with lamb chops, chicken, and sometimes a Berlin-style calves' liver (with apple, onion, and potato puree). The burgers are popular, too. Service can be slow and sometimes brusque.
