Fodor's Expert Review Café Pförtner

There are plenty of places in Wedding for a quick falafel or döner but if you're looking for something different, head to Italian-inspired Café Pförtner, at the entrance to the Uferhallen on the Panke canal. The squat, brick café space may be small, but Pförtner makes good use of what there is, adding long tables out front in good weather and, in a nod to the Uferhallen's previous incarnation as a BVG garage, turning a brightly painted bus into a dining area next door.
