dean&david — Restaurant in Berlin

I'm a little frightened after my visit today. I love D&D salads, they are among my favorit however when you start paying attention to the fashion the food is prepared in the open kitchen, this is when the issue arises for me.

As I stood waiting for my salad to be prepared today at this D&D location, the man creating my order wore 1 hygene glow. He proceeded touching the food and then turned around and touched everything else with this glove on his right hand, including the bin when he trashed the plastic from the new salad bag he refilled. I'm disgusted and I urge D&D to increase their hygen practices mainly when you show the open kitchen. One would think that after Covid we all pay a bit more attention but it seems that only the customres might. This is not okay for me and while I took my order and left which is on me, I will open my mouth and request the man to put a new glow on when prepping my order next time. It begs the question - do they ever change that glow or it is considered an accessory for the meal prepper only to "not soil his own right hand" instead of keeping the food he serves clean? I unfortunately see it's the former,...

I’ve been to so many different Dean & David in Berlin and I always ordered the same menu - salmon avocado bowl + matcha latte. I feel like I’m doing A/B testing for them just to figure out which branch has the best quality for this menu set. This one is the closest one to my place, but somehow it’s just my first time to pay the visit. I guess I just don’t know how to appreciate the things that can be reached too easily. Anyway, back to the food, I think they served a very decent salmon avocado bowl, but the matcha latte still has some room to improve compared to the one I tried in another brach. Nevertheless, still a very fulfilling meal. I’m just trying to be picky here to pretend I have a high bar. After all, I am a local guide level 6! Too much talk, conclusion: highly...

I have been living in this area for about six months now, and I often visit Schönhauser Allee. I've never had any issues before, but today I walked in, in a great mood, ready to order my favorite salad. Unfortunately, I was met with such rudeness at the checkout that I just walked out. I don't speak German fluently, but I can usually understand the gist of what’s being said. From what I gathered, there was an issue with the cash register, but I wasn’t completely sure, so I asked if they could explain it to me in English. The only response I received was "no." Up until now, there have never been problems communicating in English, but even if someone doesn't feel comfortable speaking it, a smile and some effort to help would...
