Berlin Munchies

Almost a classic on Berlin’s Vietnamese restaurant map, Onkel Ho easily plays on par with the much more touristy Monsieur Vuong. Located next to Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg, it’s a beautiful and quiet place with great food. Dishes range from commonplace Vietnamese to more regional specialties.

Try one of the daily dishes like chicken and crab in leaves on rice noodle salad, or the super fresh summer rolls. You won’t be disappointed.

It’s a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach as everything is cooked in an open kitchen behind glass, so you always know it’s fresh.

Onkel Ho, Gleimstr. 10

You’re lucky to grab a seat quickly at the most bustling Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin. Founded years ago by Dat Vuong (his uncle’s muscular portrait still hangs inside), Monsieur Vuong will delight the senses with its scrumptious daily specials and small but rich set menu. Choices are limited, but for the dishes they do, they do well. Apart from the amazing food, the shakes are worth trying as is the yummy ginger tea.

The area is hipster chic, and the place more expensive than other Vietnamese locales in town, but if you’re looking to splurge a bit and don’t mind waiting 15 minutes for a seat, Monsieur Vuong won’t disappoint.
