Quality over quantity is the principle embodied in Vom Einfachen Das Gute. The focus of this little deli is excellence — as is evidenced by the variety of meats, cheeses, bread, wine and coffee on offer here. Think rare ripened Nero di Parma, Pecorino wrapped in fig leaves, or locally-brewed beer from Flessa Bräu. Owners Manuela Rehn and Jörg Reuter set out to establish the kind of store they themselves would want to shop in — which also led them to host once-monthly culinary evenings, which see the deli’s doors stay open later than usual. Visitors then have the chance to get to know the stories behind the products they’re sampling. Manuela and Jörg often visit the farms and fields from which their delicacies come, which allows them owners to stay close to, and continually support, the young manufacturers and small businesses they work with.
