For our last supper in Berlin, Puppy and I wanted a more traditional German meal. So, tonight we met up with Frannie and her husband in the cute neighborhood of Prenzlauer Berg and went to an Alsace-type restaurant. We started out with a pre-dinner glass of gewurztraminer and I had a creamy pumpkin soup before digging into the piece de resistance ... a baeckeoffe! I had no idea what to expect, except that the menu promised a stew with a bread layer. And lord knows I can't turn down a good carb!
Out came a beautiful blue terrine with a ring of pretzel-type bread baked around the seal. Inside was a flavorful stew with meat, potatoes and carrots that was very tasty such an interesting dish. I was totes pleased with my selection.
Frannie and I polished off our meals with apple strudel, while Puppy had a post-dinner amaretto and Frannie's husband had a creme brulee.
It was a great way to cap off our mini-tour of Berlin even if we haven't had a bratwurst yet. There's always breakfast!
