  1. Curry 36

    Don't let the prosaic name deter you: this imbiss (snackbar) makes some of the best currywurst in town and has the around-the-clock queues to prove it. Service is swift and friendly, and the sausage has a nicely spiced bite to it.

  2. Lei e Lui

    The Italian name conjures visions of pasta and polenta, but owner-chef Karen Kaiser's repertory travels far beyond Italy to the cuisines of Morocco, the Caribbean, Spain and Thailand. The lively decor is an equally eclectic proposition and being located off the tourist track keeps quality high and prices reasonable.

  3. Monsieur Vuong

    Despite the pepper-red walls, good-looking clientele and beautiful dishware, this bustling eatery only looks expensive. The Vietnamese fare is made to order and is uniformly delicious, as are the fruit cocktails and exotic teas. No reservations, so be prepared to queue or, better yet, come during the afternoon off-hours.

  4. Piccola Italia

    There's usually a line out the door of this teensy pizzeria and for good reason: the pizzas are tasty, toothsome, generously topped and cheap. If the weather permits, grab one and head across the street to Monbijoupark. Pasta dishes are available too.
