The Felleshus: Nordic fare and a side of culture
Looking for lunch with a definite difference?
The striking Felleshus (which in Danish means 'house for everyone) is jointly run by the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and its main attraction is a cultural offering that appeals to all: budget eats with a Scandinavian twist.
From Monday to Friday the Felleshus canteen serves up tasty fare featuring Nordic favourites such as Pytt i Panna (a popular Swedish fry-up), chilled blueberry soup and, of course, a daily fresh fish option (vegetarians are also catered for).
The light-filled, sleekly contemporary space boasts balcony seating and a secluded terrace that's perfect for warmer weather. And once you've eaten, exhibitions, talks and films provide further food for thought.
Think of it as a passport to the best of Nordic culture.
Felleshus canteen and exhibition centre at the Nordic Embassies: Rauchstraße 1, 10787 Berlin.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri, 10 am-4pm; lunch from 11am-3pm (11.30am-1pm for embassy staff only)
