Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo - Lychener Str. 37, Prenzlauerberg (Sunday brunch 8 euros)
Today we visited restaurant named for famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo on Helmholtzplatz.
Amidst the roasting July temperatures we dragged ourselves to Frida Kahlo. Dragged you say? Well, God damn, it was hot! And now that I live all the way over in Kreuzberg, I have come to see Prenzlauer Berg as a very far away country. Still, it was worth the effort, and although this restaurant might work better in colder temperatures(soft cheese just looks horrible at 36 degree temperature) the enthusiastic chef made all the difference - Roisin
My favorite two things about Frida Kahlo (in no particular order) were the incredibly friendly and attentive chef, and the amazing pancakes. The pancakes were sort of chopped up with walnuts and served with real maple syrup - as good as dad makes 'em back home. I think I went back for thirds. The entire buffet was yummy and diverse, and not too overwhelming. Great salads, great pastas, delicious cheesy bread, and crepes too, just in case you were interested in doing pancakes euro style. The hospitality of the servers left more than a little to be desired, but the chef's lovely smile made up for it in my book (though perhaps not in my companions'). It's a lovely restaurant, painted in vibrant colors and with plenty of space to move around both the buffet and the tables - it even had space left for walkins as late as noon. It reminded me a lot of Hundertwasser in Friedrichshain. It's seems that being named after a colorful artist creates a colorful restaurant. However in contrast to Hundertwasser, I didn't have to fight anyone to get to the food, and there wasn't so much food that I needed to bring along 5 extra stomachs to feel that I had adequately conquered the buffet. All told, if you find yourself in Mitte or Prenzlauerberg on a Sunday, Frida Kahlo wouldn't be a bad way to spend your morning, or afternoon, or both - Kelly Ann
