The area around Frankfurter Tor in Friedrichshain is defined by its diversity. Since the fall of the Berlin wall, this section of town has become home to an ever more open-minded and international crowd. They have done much to make the area near Neon wood a place that’s well worth exploring and by far one of the best areas in Berlin to EAT! Here are our recs.
Milch&Zucker
Milch&Zucker is one of the closest nearby cafes to Neon Wood – and they make one delicious cappuccino. Besides having scrambled eggs, fluffy croissants and a great vegan plate, their regularly changing lunch menu is no pushover either, thanks to some solid pasta dishes.
Location:
Warschauer Str. 70, 10243 Berlin
Il Ritrovo
With great ingredients and generous portions, Il Ritrovo is a renegade mix of Italian cooking and punk rock style – making it one of the neighborhood’s best spots for pizza in an atmosphere that evokes something that feels refreshingly DIY and 90s in its nature.

Gabriel-Max-Straße 2, 10245 Berlin
Santa Maria Eastside
With the flavors of Mexico and the charm of a gastro-pub, Santa Maria Eastside is one of the best places for food in Friedrichshain. Heavily influenced by Mexico City’s own street-food culture, this unique restaurant is where you can always enjoy a reliably spicy mix of classic Mexican dishes in new and exciting arrangements – but be sure and start off with their succulent tacos
