For quick feeds this tourist-geared, self-service cafeteria on the edge of Tiergarten comes in
rather handy for breakfast, cakes and simple hot dishes. In summer, the beer garden offers
shaded respite.

ISHIN - MITTELSTRASSE
11am-10pm Mon-Sat; Friedrichstrasse, Friedrichstrasse)
Look beyond the cafeteria-style get-up to sushi glory for minimal prices. Combination plat-
ters are ample and affordable, especially during happy hour (all day Wednesday and
Saturday, until 4pm on other days). If you're not in the mood for raw fish, tuck into a steam-
ing rice bowl topped with meat and/or veg. Nice touch: the unlimited free green tea.

3-course menu €39; from 7pm Tue-Sat; ; Französische Strasse)
Kudos if you can locate this chic herbivore haven right away. Hint: it's upstairs past a giant
chandelier in the service alley of the Westin Grand Hotel. Ring the bell to enter an elegantly
industrial loft for flesh-free, flavour-packed dishes from current-harvest ingredients.

ASIAN
SOYA COSPLAY
noon-midnight Mon-Sat, 5pm-midnight Sun; Französische Strasse)
At this stylish contender, colourful lanterns and nifty lamps create cosiness without kitsch,
and dishes on the menu are veritable aroma explosions. The pork belly beautifully plays off
pungent Asian herbs, shrimp balls are perked up with wasabi mayonnaise, and even the
jellyfish carpaccio is delicate rather than slimy.
