Wedding (pronounced ved-ding) is still a working-class district despite the fact that much of Berlin has gentrified fast in recent years. With traditionally low rents, it's the new hot spot for artists seeking affordable working spaces.
This area is one of the most ethnically diverse districts in Berlin, home to young locals and immigrants from the West. Here you can find eclectic architecture, delicious restaurants specializing in Turkish cuisine, hip craft breweries, African groceries stores, and Korean nail salons. Browse through our Wedding guide and check out the hidden treasures on your next trip!
Wedding's Cafe Pförtner has one of the tastiest food creations in the area. It grabs everyone's attention with its unique aesthetic, as it's located inside a repurposed bus.
This hot spot offers a menu filled with comfort food next to the local river called Panke. Satisfy your tastebuds with an Irish stew, tandoori chicken, chili with sweet potatoes, and pearl barley with chad and parmesan.
Cafe Pförtner is also a great place to grab a coffee or beer with your friends.

As an ethnically diverse part of the city of Berlin, Wedding is home to many Afrodeutsch families. This area in the neighborhood is called the Africanische Viertel with streets named after African countries during the Colonial Empire.
"Each One Teach One" community project located at Togostraße 76 is educating locals and tourists about the history of African immigrants in Berlin. The library has over 6000 books and is open to visitors.
One of the best events to visit in Berlin is the African Book Festival held each summer. It gathers writers from Africa and the diaspora to do readings, interviews, andspoken performances. However, to enter the event you must purchase a ticket in advance. Even though it might not be hosted directly in the African Quarter, it's still a must-visit.
Arguably Wedding's best African restaurant, the Salone Market has amazing dishes inspired by West African cuisine like cassava leaf stew, black-eyed beans, and tilapia fish. It's run by friendly Denis from Sierra Leon who makes sure every guest is delighted by the restaurant's comforting meals.
The price-to-food-amount ratio is otherworldly as the portions are huge and prices are reasonable. If you're wondering where to eat on your trip to the Wedding, this spot surely won't let you down!
