The three kinds of class compared
| Format | Duration | Price seen | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market + class + lunch ("Eat Like a Berliner", starting at the Winterfeldtplatz market, Wednesday or Saturday) | about 4 h | about $273 to $279 per adult (seen on several resellers) | Travellers who want the market, produce and a 4-course menu |
| Vegetarian modern German class (studio32 Berlin) | about 4 h | price not seen | Vegetarians; 4-course menu (Maultaschen, potato dumplings, celery schnitzel), welcome sparkling wine, drinks |
| Group classes on a platform (Cozymeal) | 2 to 3 h | about €75 to €95 in the examples seen | Small budgets, an evening with friends |
What do you cook?
The most-cited dishes: Sauerbraten (marinated roast), Käsespätzle (cheese noodles), freshly baked pretzels, Maultaschen and potato dumplings. Check the menu before you book: the same class changes with the season.
How to choose
- One class during the trip: take the format with a market, which also shows the city's produce.
- Vegetarian or special diet: choose the class that says so in the title.
- Small budget: a group class at €75-95 is enough if you mainly want to cook and eat.
- Other food experiences: a food tour shows you the city by tasting rather than cooking.
What to taste without a class
To compare with takeaway food and typical places, see what to eat in Berlin, currywurst and döner and the Markthalle Neun.
