Charlie Don't Surf

"This place is hidden away down a side street near the docks, yet is an absolute delight. The husband and wife team were so friendly and went out of their way to serve us good vegetarian food. Lovely!"

"Okay food. But taste and spice levels toned down to German standards. Bit touristy."

"Lovely place when it's empty, but it's hideous on those weekend evenings when it's packed with braying skinny white people. At those times it feels like London."

"Got completely ignored by the staff. Not sure if it was because we made the mistake of speaking English to each other or because one of us is non-white. Never had service as awful as this in Berlin."

"Horrendously trendy cafe. Takes the American fake service attitudes and combines them with British shit food. Run by a bunch of children playing at restaurants. Avoid if you have a soul."

"Utterly wonderful! You get to see a space shuttle up close. Absolutely worth a visit for anyone if you're flying via Dulles, and worth a visit for space fans if you're in Washington DC."
