reallygoodlife — Restaurant in Berlin

Ah, ReallyGoodLife, how to describe thee? A veritable temple of gastronomic delight—if, of course, one’s palate delights in the taste of mediocrity served with a side of bewilderment.

Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a charming young lady who, it must be said, seemed as informed about the contents of my crispy chicken salad as a giraffe is about submarine warfare. My humble query regarding the dressing was met with a look so blank, one could almost hear the wind whistling through the vacant spaces where knowledge ought to reside.

Undeterred, I awaited my feast, and lo! What appeared before me could only be described as a salad in the most philosophical sense of the word. A few sorrowful leaves chopped into submission, accompanied by a chicken patty that could only be described as “crispy” in the same way one might describe a soggy sponge as “elegant.” I imagine it had once seen the inside of a fryer, though perhaps only in passing.

And the toasted side—oh, the toasted side! It was, indeed, “toasted” in much the same way as one might say a sunburn is “warm.”

Fifteen euros, you ask? Why yes, for the princely sum of fifteen euros, I was left not only unsatisfied but with a gnawing hunger, as if the meal had only been a polite suggestion of food, rather than the real thing.

All in all, if you’re seeking a meal that dances precariously between the realms of banality and confusion, ReallyGoodLife may just be the culinary experience you’ve been yearning for. Bon...

Excellent burgers and friendly staff. Every time, without fail. I'm a regular. I'll try different burgers and extend the review with my opinion on them.

Burger: I usually go for this. A great, juicy patty with some salad and a lightly toasted bun. The meat is really the star of the show, it's well a balanced burger.

Chilly-cheese burger: burger with cheddar cheese and jalapenos. The cheese does not make a big difference in my opinion, the jalapenos on the other hand make it slightly hot. It's a great burger.

Goat-burger: burger with goat cheese and almonds. The goat cheese is creamy and tastes great, the almonds are crunchy and caramelized. I wasn't the fan of the pockets of sweetness added by the almonds, although it is certainly interesting. The cheese had a pleasant taste, but I felt like the extra flavour is fighting with the patty. It's interesting, but the regular burger is...

First of all, the burger was delicious. A bit higher price but very good. Nice selection of different flavors and styles. Sweet potato fries were amazing. Perfectly crisp and good flavor. The homemade lemonade was also really goos. For sure worth going if you're in the area... With some caveats.

The "cheddar cheese" fries, however, were not good at all. It was regular fries with what looked like a slice of cheddar melted on top in the microwave... And unfortunately it tasted like that too. After a few minutes, it was almost almost plastic-looking. I would have loved to have seen some cheese sauce rather than melted...
