Opened a few short months ago in June 2017, Mirage is a bright and beautiful French and Mediterranean-influenced bistro in Wedding. Longtime supporters of the perpetually up-and-coming neighborhood, four friends joined forces to create a place where all members of the community could come together over food, drinks, music, and art. Just a short walk from S+U Wedding, a lovely vision from the opposite end of Nettelbeckplatz shimmers like a fata morgana in the light, and once you reach duly-named Mirage, you’ll see it’s even lovelier inside – with an airy atmosphere, perfect pastel accents and an aesthetically pleasing but not pretentious design by Kreuzberg-based, Studio Vos. As for the food, you can expect house made renditions of French classics like quiche, fluffy butter croissants, baguette sandwiches, and what might be the king of all French café sandwiches: the croque-monsieur. At Mirage, the mornings flow easily through afternoons and pour themselves into long-stemmed glasses by night — more than one good reason to venture north. Check out their Facebook page for upcoming events, like tonight’s (26.10.17) Oasis Jam Sessionfeaturing atmospheric grooves, wine, tapas, and special cocktails.
