Are tapas your thing, no matter what time of day it is, morning or late evening? Then Fourty Years Kitchen in the middle of Gräfekiez might be just your new spot to put on your “To Try” list. The brunch and dinner spot is now the second location to join the Fourty Years Café, which has already made a name for itself in Kreuzberg. Alongside the friendly staff, owners Cemal and Merve personally welcome you with open arms. With the diverse options, you can choose here between cold and warm tapas, which are lovingly prepared in hot small pans and various bowls. So you can make your own favorites from a selection of vegetarian, vegan and the “I eat everything” dishes. We feasted our way through cilbir, turkish poached eggs with yogurt, shakshuka and Kibbeh – each of the tapas perfectly seasoned and prepared. In addition to the brunch highlights, there are several dinner highlights towards the evening that you should definitely try. From Mücver (Zucchini Pancakes) to Eggplant Rolls, Roasted Cauliflower, to “40ies Dürüm” and Iskender Köfte – there is something for everyone.
The homemade lemonades and non-alcoholic cocktails are another highlight on the menu, for example the Blackcurrant Rosemary Lemonade and the Espresso Martini (0.0%). When it comes to the dessert menu, it’s best to let yourself be surprised: New desserts await you every week – so you can virtually taste your way through the dessert menu every week. Our weekly menu included a delicious Muhallebi (Turkish milk pudding) with rhubarb and strawberry cream and caramelized walnuts.
