Die Löffelei – Your Restaurant: Soup Bistro on Potsdamer Straße

The establishment at Potsdamer Straße 73 is run by Patrice Kenou. The concept is already evident in the addition the shop itself uses: Coffee and Soup. During the day, it is a soup bistro for the surrounding offices and workshops, and the menu follows a fixed weekly structure. Three new dishes are set for each weekday, always including a vegan soup for 6.50 Euros and a hearty option for 7.00 Euros. Regulars know exactly what to expect without repetition. In addition to soups, a main course and salads are available, along with coffee. The dining area is small and simply furnished; a good portion of guests take their soup to go.

From Mung Dal to Pea Stew with Vienna Sausages

The soup selection is significantly more international than its location on Potsdamer Straße might suggest. An Indian Mung Dal with red lentils, ginger, desiccated coconut, and coriander is on the menu for 6.50 Euros, an Indian-English Mulligatawny with chicken, ginger, and coconut milk for 7.00 Euros. Classics also remain: cheese and leek soup with minced meat and potatoes, and pea stew with soup vegetables and Vienna sausages, both for 7.00 Euros. Those who need more can order the chickpea curry with Garam Masala, coconut milk, and rice for 9.00 Euros or the mushroom risotto with Parmesan for 10.00 Euros. A slice of cake costs 3.00 Euros. The establishment also offers catering for birthdays, weddings, and company events.
