Is Prenzlauer Berg worth it for foodies?

Worth itFor food

For food & drink, Prenzlauer Berg delivers.

It's Berlin at its most liveable and pretty — intact 19th-century facades, brunch cafés, Kollwitzplatz farmers' market, and easy strolling. The catch: it's the poster child of Berlin gentrification, so it's polished, pram-heavy and a bit boutique-bourgeois — short on the edge people come to Berlin for.
