In the past there used to be a lot of illegal parties, music, alcohol and drugs today it is about secret pop up restaurants, green smoothies and vegan burgers. From Cookies to Crackers, let legendary club owner turned iconic restaurateur Heinz Gindullis, aka Cookie, take you on a whirlwind culinary tour of Berlin.
First dish of the day?
On weekends I like 3 Minutes sur Mer, on Torstrasse. The interior design is a mixture of GDR lamps taken out of those grand buildings from the seventies, like the Palace of the Republic, and more modern elements.
Then on to lunch!
The Italian restaurant Bocca di Bacco is a place I love to go often.
Dine at mine?
My favourite place for dinner? Cookies Cream and Crackers of course! I am vegetarian, and at Crackers my favourite dish is Portobellomushroom in tempura with sweet potatoes and tandoori. At Cookies Cream every dish is amazing. If I have to make a choice it would be the parmesan dumplings with truffles.
Move your feet to the Berlin beat!
Every evening I start with a Margarita Soda at Crackers Bar. Electro music rocks Berlin. Afterwards I go dancing at Berghain or Watergate. I like that the atmosphere always depends on the DJ, so every evening is different.
A final slice of paradise?
You always find something inspiring at Markthalle Neun.
An extra serving?
Watch The Magic Flute at Komische Opera. Shop at Lala Berlin. Enjoy art at EIGEN+ART Lab.
To understand Baroque, you have to understand its ambition. To fully appreciate it, you have to go to southern Italy. Emerging from the Counter-Reformation in early 17th-century Italy, the movement harnessed drama, ornamentation and light in service of devotion – art designed to engage the senses as much as the intellect.
Some travellers fall in love with a city all at once. Others come to know it gradually, season by season, until they understand not just where to go, but, perhaps more vitally, when. London, with its Royal parks and cobbled courtyards, layers of heritage and history, rewards the latter handsomely.
Belgium does not apologise for its obsessions. In a country that has elevated brewing, architecture and surrealism to the level of national philosophy, chocolate occupies its own distinct place: something closer to culture than craft, as central to the country's identity as its quirky humour. To understand this is to understand Brussels itself.
