Dining with Monsieur Vuong -A Top Berlin Restaurant
I was never a fan of Vietnamese food back home in the States, but Monsieur Vuong's Vietnamese/Indochina Cafe has set me straight. Over the last few years it has been consistently favored by locals, so if your looking for a cool, Mitte style restaurant check this place out.
The restaurant is located on Alte Schönhauser Str. 46 (map), which is in itself an interesting area in terms of shopping and cafés.
Monsieur Vuong's offers a small menu that changes daily or every two days in order to ensure the freshest ingredients. There is a nice tea selection, and they usually offer delicious shakes or smoothies in addition to the daily menu. The portions are generous and the prices are equally so.
The decor and lighting is surprisingly inviting and warm. There's also a beautiful aquarium in the back of the room. There are stools at the bar for eating and sitting, but you can usually get a table right away if you beat the rush hour as the turnover is relatively quick.
If the restaurant is packed you can offer to share a table with another party. The trendy waitstaff enjoy speaking English, so even if you want to speak German they'll still answer you in English.
