I was born and raised in Ankara… Walking down Tunalı Hilmi today, brought back many memories. All is good, but seeing most of the establishments closing their doors, selling their business makes me sad. Ankara being a patisserie town, had a … Continue reading
On your way to the spectacular museums of Berlin, stop by Einstein Cafe for Hausgemachter Apfelstrudel mit Vanillesauce, homemade applestrudel with vanilla sauce. Coffee is good too!
Best served with its thin créme anglaise – custard- like vanilla sauce, and literally the big slice of apfelstrudel is resting in it. So you have the spoon!
My first bite took me to the my high school years where my mom used to bake my apple pies. Big bite size apples balanced with a little sugar, touch of cinnamon, touch of allspice, some walnuts, rolled in thicker a layer of hand stretched dough.
Spoon the sauce, a bite of strudel, you will realize it is over faster then you think. And you finished it all!

To Chow at Church. A place to eat delicious, fresh, healthy food coming from the local farmers and producers.
You will thank me later!
Very polite and nice people greet you, immediately seated where you want.
Ordered coffee. Menu is eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, coffee, tea, fresh juices… hard to choose. But we had our eyes on the chicken apple sausage as side, a bacon scrambled eggs with mushrooms, spinach and a vegetable scramble with goat cheese, some OJ, we are good to go. Nice fresh filter coffee.
Our food arrived just as we started our second cup of coffee. Looking delicious, eggs taste great, yes the real egg taste -not he phony supermarket eggs- cooked just as I like, not dry, a little runny. Rye bread is lightly toasted, thin, you taste the grains and love it. Some brown mustard with the apple sausages. Done!
A morning treat, a great way to start a day.
A full tummy before you hit to Castro.
