Berlin is home to a large community of Vietnamese émigrés who came to the city during the Cold War. One thing that they brought with them is their fabulous cuisine. It isn’t difficult to find some truly authentic and innovative Vietnamese dishes all throughout the city. Here are some of our favorite spots.

1. District Mot

Restaurant, Vietnamese

District Mot specializes in Vietnamese street food. The restaurant interior itself has been designed in the likeness of an authentic Vietnamese street food parlor, complete with renditions of rustic food carts. The décor might be enough to intrigue, but it’s the menu that gives this place its staying power. They serve all kinds of pan-fried noodle dishes in addition to favorites like spring rolls, succulent beef, chicken feet, and burgers styled after traditional pork buns. This place is a food-lover’s paradise.

2. Si An

Restaurant, Vietnamese, Asian, Vegetarian

A third establishment by this Vietnamese restaurant conglomerate is Si An. This place serves predominantly vegetarian fare, and they emphasize that they flavor their food according to original Vietnamese recipes, never using MSG in their preparations. With rich fragrances and a diverse array of spices mixed throughout each dish, Si An is sure to ignite the senses. As for the ambiance, Si An combines a mixture of rustic elements with orchids, hanging lanterns, and other forms of elegant Vietnamese décor. This place is considerably more minimal in style than its cousins, though. They also offer a delivery menu.

3. Monsieur Vuong

Restaurant, Vietnamese, Asian, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian

One of the best elements of Vietnamese cuisine is pho. This fragrant and nourishing soup is one of Monsieur Vuong’s specialties. This popular restaurant has been a fixture in Berlin for a while now, and there’s a reason they’ve stuck around. The menu changes every two days and features dishes like Vietnamese curry and vermicelli noodles in addition to that renowned pho we mentioned earlier. Dishes feature spices like jasmine, lemongrass, ginger, and sesame. The vibrant orange and red interior includes banquet-style seating and a large bar, where they prepare a variety of different fruity cocktails.

4. Madami — Mom's Vietnamese Kitchen

Restaurant, Vietnamese

Madami—Mom’s Vietnamese Kitchen is a hip restaurant with a menu that predominantly features an array of hearty vegan and vegetarian mains, smoothies, and snacks in Berlin Mitte near Alexanderplatz. This location makes it a great shopping pit stop. There are some beef, poultry, and fish options as well for the unwavering carnivores among you. The terrace offers a good view of the iconic TV Tower while the interior décor is simple, and the vibe is casual. Another perk of Madami is that a good meal is notably cheap.

5. Cô Cô
