Trattoria Venezia
€
€€€
(
28 Liegnitzer Strasse, +49 306
981 4605
) Germany’s portion sizes are certainly on the
larger end, but the servings at Trattoria Venezia push the
boundaries of what is humanly possible. The pizzas here
are so large they barely fit on the tables.
Tangs Kantine
€€
€€
(
18 Dieffenbachstrasse,
+49 306 981 4658
) Good Chinese food is normally
confined to western Berlin, making Tangs Kantine a
welcome addition to the scene in the south. The small
restaurant has an extensive menu of traditional dishes.
Bar 3
(
20 Weydingerstrasse, +49 309 700 5106)
This
bar, which caters to an artist crowd, is at its busiest after
gallery openings in Mitte. The music, normally selected by
the bartender, is culled from their eclectic vinyl collection,
and the atmosphere is always chilled out.
Tropical Islands
If you can’t handle the winter weather,
the world’s largest indoor beach is an hour from Berlin. The
huge metal dome comes complete with tropical rainforest
and even wildlife.

Ociani
€€
€€
(
6 Rue Bender, +352 2684 5162
) Ociani
serves up Cape Verdean and Senegalese specialities,
including some justly popular
cachupa
(stew of corn and
beans with fish or meat). Not somewhere for those in a
hurry as dishes are cooked fresh to order.
Am Tiirmschen
€€€
€
(
32 Rue de l’Eau, +352 26 270 733
)
Sitting in the busy dining room of a restored medieval
building, diners can can enjoy Luxembourgian specialities.
Tuck into
Kniddelen
(small dumplings) with lardons, pork
and beans, and be sure to sample the local wine.
Coco Mango
(
40 Boulevard d’Avranches
) Located on
the eighth floor of the Sofitel Luxembourg le Grand Ducal,
this sophisticated bar has, unsurprisingly, spectacular city
views. Enjoy them – and some chilled music – in one of
the comfy chairs with a flute of champagne.
Bock and Petrusse casemates
These 17th century
defensive tunnels are Luxembourg’s top attraction for a
reason. A must-visit for a fun day out.
