One of Berlin’s restaurants with a relaxed café feel, Volkswirtschaft is a popular hang-out for creative bohemians and students in Friedrichshain. Tables of all shapes and sizes fill the intimate space and make for a convivial atmosphere. There’s an emphasis on eco-minded cooking and only high-quality meats are used in the simple, but tasty dishes and the portions are decidedly generous. The daily changing menu changes offers creative home-made dishes with rotating themes. Tuesday is Indian, Friday fish and on Sundays vegan and vegetarian breakfasts and lunches provide the perfect sustenance for a trip to the flea market on Boxhagener Platz, although vegan dishes are usually available on request throughout the week
