Right in my Kiez, in the fast gentrifying Herrfurthstraße, a trio of foodie spots has opened: Schiller Burger, Schiller Bar and Schiller Backstube. Enter a load of higgledy piggledy furniture on the pavement, lots of liveliness and, of course, the odd protester's rock through the window.
The people behind the place are not easily frightened and have happily made the dents in the windows part of their graffiti wall display. The many twenty and thirty somethings in the area aren't afraid either. They have come crawling out of buildings that, as far as I was aware, only housed old Berliners, squatters and druggies, and have taken seat, en masse, outside the Schiller Bar. Who knew there were so many people like me in my Kiez?
The burgers, with incomprehensible names like Glocke (bell) for a cheeseburger and Wallenstein for chilli cheese (forever my favourite) are decent. The buns are not too soggy or squidgy, the toppings generous and there are great options for veggies. The fries are excellent yet the sauces dire. Some room for improvement then. If it weren't quite so close and gemütlich, and they didn't have quite so many places to sit and lounge outside for the rest of the night, beer from the next door bar in hand, I would take the trouble of cycling all the way to BBI (Berlin Burger International) and their ever present queue.
