There is nothing more difficult to find in Berlin than a good, big, juicy piece of meat. I’m not talking about a thin schnitzel here — I mean thick but soft meat that has structure but almost melts in your mouth. That’s exactly what I found at Big Sur: organic ribeye steak, cooked to perfection and accompanied by a variety of inventive side dishes with a touch of Mexican and Asian influences. The drinks served at the long wooden bar are as as creative and ever-changing as the food menu, though you can always count on a punchy Mezcal cocktail to get your night started. Ask your host to tell you the story of how all this started with a food truck and ended up as a truly unique place in one of my favorite corners of Kreuzberg.
