Just a quick jaunt from Alexanderplatz, we’ve found the freshest meal in town. From substantial grain and salad bowls with flavorful dressings, hot-pressed sandwiches and even house-made sweets like almond oat cookies and raw chocolate cake, Good Bank‘s food is deliciously on par with the restaurant’s one-of-a-kind concept. As the city’s first “vertical farm to table” restaurant that’s growing, harvesting and selling its very own lettuces, Good Bank has partnered with none other than Berlin based start-up InFarm to set up vertical farming units that supply the restaurant with as many greens as it needs, while using minimal resources. With black and white striped wallpaper, sleek countertops, and huge mirrors, the contemporary style of the fast-casual restaurant is only heightened by the curious pink glow that radiates throughout the space. So next time you’re hunting for something satisfying and fresh, let your mind ponder the future of urban farming à la “Can I do this in my apartment?”, while you grab a nosh at Good Bank.
