In My Hood: Berlin Fabrik
Berlin Fabrik meets Berlin in Brussels at this original inside the ultra-trendy Marolles. With a dining room, swanky bar, and terrace, there’s a vibe for every mood—just bring your appetite. Or best streetwear; expect Greek classics, and whatever you do, don’t skip the Brandenburg Tor burger. It has beaujolais champagne sauce, squeezed into one of the fluffiest and tastiest burger buns in the city.
In my opinion, they have probably the best meat quality in Berlin in combination with the best crust - result: a fantastic meat experience! The rest of the burger is ok, the bun kind of works, those different proposals for the burger make it so unique. Overall, the amazing meat quality makes this burger.
What makes this place even more special is that it’s family-run, and that spirit comes through in every detail. This is not just any restaurant; it’s the product of a Greek family that genuinely cares about quality, fairness, and hospitality. The staff are part of its DNA: familiar, warm, and always attentive, with Fotis at the front, a true character who brings soul to the experience.
I’ve been coming here with my dog since the very day I adopted her, and from the start, she’s been welcomed not just as a guest, but as a regular. On sunny days, she loves lounging on the terrace, and inside, the staff treat her like their best customer. It’s not just tolerated; it’s genuine care. She knows the place, and the place knows her.
This isn’t a quick-bite kind of burger joint; this is a Brussels classic. It’s an experience, one that comes with the privilege of going along...
Read moreMy husband and I usually visit once a week for drinks and snacks (the smoothies are excellent). However, on our most recent visit today, we had a disappointing experience with the nachos and service.
It was our first time ordering the nachos we received and we were surprised they were only plain chips with a few lines of sauce, which was not what we expected based on the menu and on previous experiences. When we asked about it, the server told us that our feedback “meant nothing.. if everyone complained we would have to shut the restaurant down" and reacted defensively. After that point, he also refused to continue on in English, which made communication more difficult for us while trying to resolve the situation and pay the bill. During the exchange with the server, he directed his responses only to my husband and wouldn't acknowledge any communication from myself which added to the discomfort.
This was quite different from the positive service we have experienced here in the past, and it left us feeling uncomfortable. We hope this was an isolated incident, as we have otherwise enjoyed coming to...
Read moreReally really long waiting time. For some reason no fanta, constantly "music", bored waitress. 5/7
[Edit] After I placed this review, the owner of the restaurant came to me and my friends and publicly ashamed us of our review. I've never experienced such effrontery before. It is not the job of the customer to go to the owner to tell her about the very loud and intrusive musicians going from table to table, asking for money, when the waitress stands literally besides the customers at...
