Hello everyone! This week I wanted to get out of the house and try something different because the sun finally started shining and the weather is just glorious. Wanting to catch up during lunch, my friend suggested that we meet up at Kärrecho, a Venezuelan restaurant here in Berlin. I heard that they served Arepas here, which is kind of like bread that’s made out of cornmeal, so I wanted to get a taste of it and Venezuelan cuisine, in general.
It was very warm outside but the place offered a cool, tropical vibe, so we grabbed a table and sat near the window. Although everything looked clean and freshly painted, it still had a homey vibe to it. It even had an old Singer sewing machine near the counter. You know, the one that everyone’s grandmother seems to have. 😀
Here’s the front counter. They also offer canned coconut water for 4 Euros.
That big barrel at the side reminds me of the series, How I met your Mother, haha.Â
A big blackboard with cute scribbles and drawings. I forgot to write something on it!
Here it is, folks. The deliciously creamy “The Cool Queen”, which they also call the Queen of the Arepas. It’s stuffed with shredded chicken, avocado and mayonnaise. I really liked its taste and the fact that it was healthy made me feel good about eating it. And who doesn’t love avocados?
It can be a bit too creamy though, so I suggest that you add just a bit of chilli and more of the garlic sauce that they offer. The garlic sauce is AMAZING. When I go back there, I might ask if I can buy a bottle or two of those.
This is the Limonada. I forgot what was in it, but it was very refreshing.
