Who hasn’t heard of Dashi Diner on Invalidenstraße? Word spread quickly when the first signs appeared on the façade and windows. Now, it’s one of the most popular lunch spots in Mitte. For those looking to squeeze the most out of their lunch break, Dashi never disappoints with offerings like “Chicken Sandos,” “Szechuan Fries,” “Caesar Salad” and “Shiitake Congee”. The menu is crafted by owners Thu Thuy Pham and Phuong Thao Westphal, who blend their heritage with culinary creativity. For those who find Mitte a bit too far and tend to frequent the city’s west, good news: Dashi Canteen has opened on the banks of the Spree in Charlottenburg in August 2024. Nestled beside House of Healing, a yoga studio boasting one of the most scenic views in Berlin, the canteen now offers the diner’s beloved classics in a new location. With its white-green tiles and stainless steel stools, the stylish canteen is second to none. It’s the perfect spot to visit while summer lingers, especially for its gorgeous outdoor view of the Spree.
