Yoyo Foodworld

June 14, 2012

We had breakfast at Kopps on Midweek (stay tuned for a Kopps breakfast roundup postal service to come!) together with got chatting to the waitress, a vegan who'd moved to Berlin inward the past times few months together with was clearly empty-headed alongside excitement at what the metropolis had to offer. She reeled off a few recommendations, together with was specially enthused close YoYo Foodworld inward Friedrichshain. So, when our booking at Lucky Leek savage through, nosotros knew where we'd endure heading instead.

YoYo is a vivid together with cheerful house on a lovely street inward 1 of Berlin's hipper suburbs, so it wasn't that surprising to uncovering all the outdoor tables taken when nosotros wandered in. Still, despite the sunshine, outdoor tables inward Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany tend to hateful you lot instruct a gob total of cigarette smoke alongside your meal, so nosotros weren't also issue to accept an within table. It's all pretty relaxed at YoYo - the fit-out is to a greater extent than close functionality than style, together with the service is efficient together with direct - simply on the correct side of surly. The bill of fare is huge together with solely vegan - you lot tin accept your selection from 29 burgers, five wraps, five pizzas, ix 'classics', a soup together with a kebab. Although it mightiness endure wise to convey a dorsum upwards innovation upwards to the counter - I'd ready my see on trying my showtime vegan currywurst (a Berlin tradition apparently), only to uncovering that they'd sold out. In my panic I pointed blindly at the menu, coming upwards alongside a 'Grosse Gyrospfanne' (4.99€ AUD$6.20), which translates straight equally a 'great gyros pan', but turns out to simply endure a massive pile of gyros fillings without the bread. With heaps of chips.

This is a heapin' helpin' of food. The chips were excellent, which was a relief given the volume of them on the plate, piece the balance of the gyros filling was simply okay - at that spot was something close the niggling seitan pieces that didn't quite sense of savor correct to me. Maybe the plate simply needed a expert drizzle of chilli sauce? Don't instruct me wrong, this was fine together with I definitely ate it all, but it savage a tiny fleck brusk of my expectations. 

Cindy ordered the bacon cheeseburger (3.79€ AUD$4.70).

She raved close the condiment combo (mayo together with tomato plant sauce I think) together with constitute the burger patty together with 'bacon' both excellent, but wasn't that impressed past times the vegan cheese. I snuck a niggling sense of savor together with she was correct - it didn't pack a lot of flavour. Still, this was a pretty successful social club - if nosotros always instruct far dorsum to Berlin (and to YoYo) together with then I intend I'll endure focussing on the burger factor of the menu, which includes salmon, pork, chicken together with many other patty varieties!

YoYo Foodworld is a peachy house to lead maintain inward your metropolis - for ridiculously pocket-sized amounts of coin you lot instruct equally much vegan fried nutrient equally you lot tin perhaps eat. The nutrient won't blow you lot away, together with the ambience is basic (late 80s trip the calorie-free fantastic music was the social club of the solar daytime on our visit) but it's difficult to combat alongside vegan cheeseburgers at less than $5. Check it out when you lot desire something quick together with junky.
