One of the primal (non-food) recommendations that the Moody Noodles had given us earlier nosotros hitting Berlin was that nosotros should create a tour amongst Alternative Berlin Tours. So on Fri nosotros spent a proficient chunk of the twenty-four lx minutes menstruum wandering around Turkish markets, quondam ballrooms, neighbourhoods jammed amongst street fine art as well as by as well as large getting a proficient sense of some of the (slightly) less travelled parts of the city. It was pretty great, as well as if yous desire to run into some of our photos scroll to the terminate of this post. The other keen thing virtually the tour was that it left us within walking distance of Viasko, a identify that was high on my Berlin priority list. And it turned out as well as then good that nosotros visited it twice! Our combined experiences are below.`
Viasko is an all vegan eating theater inwards an quondam Irish Gaelic pub, which is tucked away inwards a leafy business office of Kreuzberg. There's a lovely front end courtyard (where nosotros sat on the outset night) as well as a roomy interior that feels really much similar the within of a pub (where nosotros sat the 2d night). On both occasions nosotros had really friendly staff who were happy to talk English linguistic communication amongst hopeless tourists, as well as on the outset occasion nosotros too got to hang out amongst their really friendly Canis familiaris (not pictured, sadly the photographic television receiver camera battery was dead as well as I lacked the dexterity amongst my telephone to larn a decent shot).
The bill of fare is a fair chip smaller than the identify we'd had our previous dinner - in that location are ix mains, half dozen starters as well as 4 desserts, all vegan as well as supposedly rotated fairly regularly (we alone accept them three days betwixt visits, as well as zippo had changed over that period!) We skipped the appetisers across both visits but sampled 4 of the mains as well as 1 of the desserts.
First up: the soy schnitzel 'cordon bleu', filled amongst rocket salad as well as tomatoes as well as served amongst greenish beans as well as potatoes (14.5€ AU$18).
This had a much crunchier crumby coating than the version at Kopps, as well as was in all probability a tiny chip on the dry out side. Although that occupation was easily solved past times smothering it using the massive chunk of herbed 'butter' that came amongst it. It was prissy to sense of savor a dissimilar version of the cordon bleu - this had to a greater extent than texture as well as maybe a chip to a greater extent than season inwards the filling but didn't accept the wonderful Kopps sauce to mush into it. It's difficult to selection a winner.
Our other primary on our outset see was the homemade murphy gnocchi amongst herb as well as lemon butter, served amongst manlike mortal monarch oyster mushrooms, spinach as well as marinated tofu (10.5€ AUD$13).
The standout characteristic of this was its vegan-ness - they actually know how to come upwards up amongst an mistaken buttery sense of savor at Viasko. This was rich as well as wonderful - slightly creamy footling gnocchis, a generous sprinkling of mushrooms, a mini tower of spinach as well as a smattering of delicious marinated tofu. All drenched inwards something wonderfully guess to butter.
Viasko's mock dairy science was a repeated subject on our 2d visit, starting amongst the risotto amongst smoked tofu as well as roasted onions, breaded mushrooms as well as garlic cream (11€ AU$13.70)
The risotto was impossibly creamy, amongst a lovely subtle garlic season infusing it all as well as the process of crispy onions as well as mushrooms to stir through. It feels weird to last as well as then enthusiastic virtually gnocchi as well as risotto, which are typically the vegetarian's curse at Italian restaurants but these were both fantabulous meals, amongst the added bonus of existence completely dairy free. Amazing.
Our terminal savoury class at Viasko was the lemon pasta amongst fresh artichokes, spinach as well as avocado inwards sesame (11.5€ AU$14.30).
This was going for the same creamy non-dairyness every bit the risotto as well as it did an okay chore of it, but the whole packet cruel a chip brusk of our other dishes from Viasko. There was something a chip express virtually the flavours - the sauce was a chip creamy as well as a lot lemony as well as needed something else to add together a chip of depth to it. Maybe but to a greater extent than garlic? It wasn't a consummate loss though - the artichokes as well as avocado were great, as well as nosotros happily polished it off betwixt us.
For some argue nosotros alone mustered upwards plenty enthusiasm for 1 dessert at Viasko, the almond creme-brulee amongst sour cherries (4.5€ AU$5.60). This is gluten free, along amongst a pair of Viasko's other desserts as well as 1 salad. (None of the mains on offering during our visits were gf - still, it was rare for restaurants inwards Berlin to fifty-fifty banker's complaint gluten every bit an issue.)
I actually liked this, although it bore alone a passing resemblance to creme brulee. The top had a satisfyingly crackly layer, which couldn't comprise the massive mound of sour cherries bursting out of it. The almond brulee had a slightly mealy texture as well as actually wasn't creamy at all but I idea it worked nicely anyway. Definitely worth trying.
Our enthusiasm for Viasko is in all probability best summarised past times the fact that nosotros went dorsum in that location twice when in that location were as well as then many other places inwards Berlin to attempt out (although this was too partly due to the unfortunate number of places choosing to unopen on Mon evenings). The nutrient is but a send on the fancy side of basic Italian as well as was by as well as large excellent, acre the seat dorsum atmosphere, friendly staff as well as massive beers (not pictured!) made for an all 'round keen experience. Word is they create a wonderful weekend brunch every bit well, but that volition accept to await for our side past times side see to this wonderful city.
