Café Dix - Berlin

My friend and I went here because we were told they serve breakfast. They don’t. Ibrahim was so accommodating and made us a brunch type of meal with what he had there. We were so happy with the food! After a good meal, we went...to the Berlinischen Gallerie. What a great day good food and art!

Me and my partner visited Berlinische Galerie and were very pleased. BUT when we had our lunch at Café Dix, not so much. The food was heavily overpriced. I payed 8€ for some ruccola leaves in vinegar (a ”salad” . My partner ate the vegetarian pasta...which was okay but not creamy at all, which it said on the menu. We were the only ones at the whole restaurant but still we had to wait about 30 minutes to get our food. I’d rather recommend you to have a Döner for 2€ from a street food-truck. This was just not worth it.

Basically the museum cafe next to the Berlinischer Galerie. Somewhat slow and erratic service, prices reasonable.

A group of 8 of us went for a coffee break here whilst exploring the Berlinische and Ibrahim was so helpful we decided to come back for lunch. He reserved us a table and made great menu recommendations as well as choosing good wine for...those that wanted it. We had a mixture of dishes everyone was happy (a rare occurrence! and nice to see dishes making the most of in season asparagus. The cakes were also fantastic. Best of all was Ibrahim's sense of humour if we hadn't been on a schedule we'd have probably stayed longer! Coming from London where most museum cafes are dire or ordinary, this was a real treat.

I normally don't eat at museum cafes because they tend to be overpriced but I was very hungry and there were other options in the vicinity. I ordered the Thai chicken with rice and I'd probably give the food a higher mark if it had...come with something green ! like veggies. But it was quite tasty. The waiter was very kind, and all things considered, I had a nice, relaxing lunch.
