Must do Experience in Berlin

I shared my experience on Chef PJ's food tours in Paris. I had an incredible time.

Finding myself in Berlin as a solo this past week, I went searching for something in the evenings after work. Beer Tours, Pub Crawls, the normal...and then I found the not normal. A cultural tour followed by a multi-course dinner with wine pairings for a very reasonable price, and it was the same company as the Paris Adventure. They are in Seville and Berlin now. No guides, only the Chef/guide.

The tour was great, taking place in a non-touristy part of East Berlin where there was so much history to see. Then, a 1920 apartment (take your shoes off at the door and no smoking), and the food seemed never-ending. House made charcuterie, salads and vegetables, a pasta course and an ancient New Orleans recipe, Daube Creole with potatoes Anna. Wine was flowing, and as a solo, I never felt awkward with the group.

Everyone who works with Chef Tours is from another food tour company and chose to do something better/different than the standard 5 bites on the street. This was my best experience in Berlin and without question the best meal I have had for a long time.
