As a fan and lover of tapas, I expected a nice tapas evening at Tapitas, which is a small and even tiny little restaurant shop on one of Prenzlauer Berg’s most lively street. It always look full when you walk by, but they also have a little secret room in the back.

Tres Tapas, located on the populair Helmholtzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg is a classical and nicely atmospheric Spanish tapas restaurant. They have a great selection of Spanish wines to complement your order of varied tapas. A great location for a romantic rendez-vous while feeding each other olives.
