No need for an introduction as it is an institution in Berlin.

This house dates from 1878 and for 35 years that serves as the restaurant-cafeteria Einstein. If you go in the afternoon, I recommend the always fresh and homemade apple strudel, and order a soft black tea, such as Darjeeling, not Assam, it would be too strong. But if you go at an earlier time, then an Assam would go perfectly with the aforementioned apple pie.
You may find a celebrity, like now I see the German television presenter Alfred Bioleck. Anyway, you will not see any famous framed photos on the wall, because it would seem very kitsch, but hundreds of artists and politicians from all over the world have come here.
