Looking for something to eat on a budget in Berlin?

Berlin: poor but sexy! With recent inflation, oh how Berliners wish for that slogan to still be true. Gentrification marches on and food prices have gone up in recent years. That means that Berlin, once a haven for affordable dining, is definitely not so cheap nowadays.

But fear not, budget-conscious friends! You can still savor delicious, authentic dishes for under €10. You just have to know where to look. Here are a few of our favorites.

Where To Eat For Less Than €10 In Berlin

Dumplings Nian Berlin Kreuzberg

Dumplings Nian

Can you eat out for just €5? At Dumplings Nian, the answer is a resounding yes. Here, you can snatch ten dumplings for just a fiver (€7 if you want them fried). Then head to the sauce area to zhush yours up any way you like. There are other affordable dishes on the menu here as well (we tried the seaweed salad). As for ambiance, it’s loud, busy and bright—ie. not exactly a romantic date destination. But the dumplings are so good you will forgive them for that.


Banh Mi Stable Berlin Mitte

Banh Mi Stable

Banh Mi is one of those brilliant food creations that almost everyone loves. Get your fill here at the stable, with a choice of just four fillings: crispy roasted pork belly, chicken peanut saté, omelette, or marinated tofu—all for just €7. (There’s also a dessert version with coconut milk that sounds intriguing!) I suggest getting it to go and eating it in the park across the street or even wandering further down to Monbijoupark to enjoy with a view.

If you’ve spent the evening exploring the bars of Schillerkiez, this is a great choice for your midnight snack. Falafel is the cheapest offering on the menu but they have other well-priced options like makali, halloumi and of course, schwarma/kebab.

Okay, so when I call this place cheap I mean getting one slice of pizza is cheap. While that will mostly do the trick for me, I know it doesn’t for many of my guy friends. (You’ve been warned!)
