When Street Food Thursday calls in Berlin, you know your evening off is going to be delicious. Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg helped kick off this whole wave, and ever since there has been something to discover on almost every corner. In the converted IMAX hall on Potsdamer Platz, KERB Berlin in Mitte brings twelve food stalls under one roof, from a rotating cheese conveyor belt to fried chicken. Anyone who likes it Sunday-relaxed feasts their way through the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg at Street Food auf Achse. We tried our way through dumplings, tacos and pulled pork buns, chatted with the operators and put up with long lines. The result is our personal Top 10. At which market will your stomach growl first?

For me, street food is Berlin in miniature: loud, international, always on the move. For this list I ate my way across the city and paid attention to what makes a good market: honest, handcrafted cooking instead of reheated stock, a selection that really sparks curiosity, fair prices despite the hype, and an atmosphere where you want to linger with a beer after eating.
Thursday evening in Kreuzberg means: Street Food Thursday at Markthalle Neun. In the historic hall on Eisenbahnstraße, Berlin's most famous street food market transforms into a multicultural spectacle from 5 PM, which has set the benchmark for all street food markets in the city since 2013.
In the heart of Potsdamer Platz, KERB Berlin transforms a former cinema into a playground for 12 independent street food markets. Under soft green lights and the smell of something sizzling, you’ll find juicy fried chicken, cheese plates rolling past on a belt and that easy-going Berlin vibe all hanging out together.
Charlottenburg has many faces, but on Saturdays it shows its most beautiful one: Around 150 vendors transform Karl-August-Platz into a culinary district offering everything a good market morning needs, from regional organic vegetables and antipasti to street food stalls.
Where Neukölln is most aromatic: The market at Maybachufer, directly on the Landwehr Canal, is one of Berlin's most beautiful and largest weekly markets. Here, Turkish Gözleme stands, African specialties, and organic products from Brandenburg line up, twice a week, free of charge, with canal views.
Every Sunday, the courtyard of the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg transforms into one of Berlin's most popular street food markets. Food trucks from all over the city, international cuisine, and a relaxed atmosphere among historic brick walls make this market an essential part of the Berlin weekend.
Where Treptow meets the Spree, the Arena grounds transform on selected summer evenings into Berlin's most famous street food party. At the Bite Club Street Food Market, curated food trucks, the Badeschiff (bathing boat), and a disco sound system await for a Friday night that is much more than just a market visit.
Since 1891, the Arminius Market Hall in Moabit has stood for more than just shopping. Under its listed brick vault, street food stalls offering BBQ, fish, Mumbai cuisine, and Berlin craft beer gather to create one of the city's most relaxed food experiences.
Since 1892, the Marheineke Markthalle in the Bergmannkiez has represented what Kreuzberg is all about: down-to-earthness, cosmopolitanism, and quality under one roof. Across approximately 2,500 m², regional organic products meet international street food stalls, fresh pasta meets Turkish börek, and Greek cuisine meets Arabian specialties.
Berlin's most famous Thai Lawn is located in Wilmersdorf and has long been an institution: Saturdays and Sundays, from April to September, Württembergische Straße at Preußenpark transforms into Germany's largest Thai Street Food Market, where over 20 stalls bring authentic Southeast Asian flavors to the city.
The Winterfeldtmarkt in Schöneberg is one of Berlin's largest and best-known weekly markets. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the square near Nollendorfplatz transforms into a street food paradise, combining regional fresh produce with international street food. Anyone who strolls through here will stay longer than planned.
