Berlin is the currywurst capital of the world. With around 800 million portions sold in Germany every year — 63 million of them in Berlin alone — currywurst is one of the country’s ultimate food classics. It is popular everywhere, from Ku’damm to the VW canteen in Wolfsburg. The sauce is key to its flavour and is traditionally mixed in-house.
Whether you enjoy it at a traditional snack bar, on a busy shopping street or during a night out, currywurst is more than just a snack: it is part of Berlin’s way of life and a true piece of the capital’s cultural heritage. But where can you find the best currywurst in Berlin? We’re taking you to the city’s top 10 currywurst spots.
