In summer, this small bistro beckons you with cheese and wine on the terrace. On colder days, Camidi provides a cozy living room feel with a charming bar and fireplace. But it’s not just its unpretentious and honest atmosphere that makes this place worth a visit – it’s the delicious cheeses they sell too. The large counter at the front offers an extensive selection of mostly French specialty cheeses, as well as salted butter, ham and salami. You can get the items to go, but we recommend grabbing a table and assembling your own cheese plate or having owner Niusha create one for you. Niusha and her business partner Français have known each other for ten years. Français had a small creperie in Kreuzberg where Niusha was restaurant manager. Together they came up with the idea of a cheese bistro, traveling to Paris to gain knowledge and inspiration about the world of cheese at a fromagerie. Now they have brought this culture to Neukölln. We recommend the oven-baked St. Marcellin and salad or a cheese and/or charcuterie platter with fresh bread and butter. You can accompany this with a glass of cremant or natural wine from Camidi’s small but lovingly selected drinks selection. In summer, the patio doors are open, and with a table of cheese and wine, this laid-back street feels almost Parisian.
