Budget priced, filling and very good vegetarian food in the heart of town. On the menu is always a light option, a lunch option, a dinner special, soup, and quiche and a salad. The food is very healthy and wholefoody but you won't leave hungry. You could eat there all week and not get bored. Prices range from £3 to £6.50. It gets very busy, and is very cosy so be prepared to queue at times and especially to share a table. Also bear in mind that it's bad etiquette to reserve seats before getting your food! You can also do take-away.

Week12End is a club on the 12th floor of an office block in Alexander Platz. The line-up is ultra hip, mostly minimal techno, the crowd are the beautiful people, and the view is absolutely extraordinary, from Karl Marx Allee in the east, right round to the Museum Insel and beyond, you can sit in the window seats and take in the city with a beer and some ponding music. Be a local and a tourist simultaneously. Opens at 11pm but doesn't get going until half midnight, Thursday-Saturday. Cover charge approximately €8-10.
Alexanderplatz 5, take the lift to the 12th floor
