Berlin Trip : 6868 Restaurant

For reasons I can’t recall as it’s nearly a month ago, I didn’t take a photo of the outside of this restaurant, so here’s an inside one. It’s a very well reviewed Vietnamese restaurant and I thought it would provide a suitable evening meal for me.

I ordered the Saigon Special beer as I hadn’t had it before and it was clean and easy going. I mean, it’s not a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, but it went well with the food.

The chicken skewers in a satay sauce, with the meat being tender and the sauce being flavourful.

This main course was a little ridiculous, although it’s not really entirely evident from the photo. However, there are two large pieces of battered chicken there and a massive mound of noodles, with the whole arrangement taking me nearly half an hour to get through. The food was delicious though, the chicken was tender, the batter was crispy and the noodles had a depth of taste. I did feel for a while like it was a BeardMeatsFood type challenge, but I ploughed on through.

The cost of the whole meal came to something like £15, which I thought was excellent value. The reviews are very positive, although a few people actually complain that there’s too much food, but there’s no pleasing everyone I guess. It felt like a family run operation and the atmosphere was very laid-back, but it felt a welcoming location and everyone was polite and personable. The food has a depth of flavour so it’s recommended anyway in my view, but the size of the meal certainly makes it even better value. All really rather lovely.
