Underwhelming - Edit
Highly underwhelming.
Read moreAnd to be fair, I will mention that the patatas bravas were good. For everything else, the following applies: good photos for Instagram are more important than taste.
The concept of the 2-hour time slots doesn't work if you're not served 3/4 hours before time is up, but you're thrown out VERY rude- and punctually. Thank god, there are plenty of vegan alternatives in Neukölln! Never again!

Pros: close to Hermannplatz, in Berlin, speak English
Cons: Disliked the noise, Disliked the service, most of the foods quality is below average

Delicious place - Edit
Everything was perfectly cooked and the ambiance is extraordinary. We had 4 tapas for 2 persons. Patatas bravas (so good and no idea how theymake the sauce so creamy!), geraücherter mandelricotta (perfect texture and the homade bred was extraordinary), verbrante aubergine (so melting), and a tomatoes salad. The place is beautifull and original, the service was good.
Read moreIts so hard to have a reservation on the phone, its easier to walk in to do it.
Cons: No reservation system, very hard to have a table.

100% Tasty Tapas - Edit
Alaska Bar is the best vegan restaurant we visited in Germany and it’s easy to understand why it was packed out! We enjoyed a range of tapas: patatas bravas, lox, feta with winter vegetables, croquettes and vegan foie gras. Every dish we sampled was a delicious taste sensation. Most were 100% prepared in their own kitchen. Great mocktail menu too and we loved the gingerinha. Be sure to reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
Read morePros: Delicious flavours, A majority of dishes unique and made from scratch., Fun kitschy setting
Cons: Reservations required

Delicious food, cocktails, atmosphere - Edit
Had a great time at Alaska. Slightly eccentric decor inside peppered with vegan messaging (and plenty of animal pics). Seating spaces are cosy so be prepared to sit pretty close to the neighbour behind you. This plus the Europop/disco music and excellent drinks list, as well as the popularity of the bar wit regulars, creates a great atmosphere. There are some outdoor seats where I waited for a space inside (the weather has just changed enough for it to be a bit too cold outside).
Read moreIt is a little difficult to pick the right number of options for a solo diner as you want to try most things but they're all more of a 'sharing' size so beware.
I had the best croquette I've ever had (cauliflower with coconut milk and curry powder) and the patatas bravas was also excellent. The chorizo sandwich was delicious but pretty heavy and I'd made the mistake of over ordering.
The food is good value if ordering in a group.
Pros: Incredible food, Great atmosphere with warm and friendly staff, Great wine and cocktail list
Cons: Tricky to get a seat inside!

Alternative bar with great food - Edit
It was the First alternative bar we visited and it was very cool. Interesting music and many things to discover on the walls.
Read moreThe food and the cocktails we're really great.
It took some time until we've been asked what we would like to order, but that was fine for us in this case
The prices are also fair
Pros: Great food, many unique dishes, Special cocktails, Very cool and interesting ambience

Outstanding food - Edit
This is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. AND cocktails!! Reasonably priced and the flavours are to die for except no one had to. Recommend booking a table because this place is popular and rightfully so! Thank you!

About as authentic vegan tapas as you'll find - Edit
The only place in Berlin where you'll find authentic vegan Spanish tapas. Great atmosphere, mainly because it's rather small and very popular, so it's almost always pretty packed inside. Making reservations is a good idea.

Berlin-Bar - Edit
If you fancy an alternative Berlin-bar-feeling Alaska bar could be something for you. They offer many cocktails and interesting vegan tapas like foie gras.
Read moreUnfortunately we were too stuffed from dinner to try them!
Ambience is fun - a very small place stuffed with all kinds of partly cheesy and also animal rights decoration.
Staff wasn’t too friendly - Berlin ;-)
All in all alright for a drink and snack.

Tasty tapas on the fatty side - Edit
A nice selection of taps, everything was fresh and tasty but overall very fatty and heavy. Would have loved to have some fresh and „lighter“ options. Overall a cool place with a great vibe and friendly staff.

Hi! Pipelu.
Read moreThanks so much for your review, we are glad that you like our place. In terms of our "fatty menu" as i can see u asked for foie grass and bravas, probable the fattiest in the menu, we do have other fresh options to choose. Gazpacho, watermelon with feta and pickled onion, caponata with rice paper cracker , our home
made almond ricotta and olives are something u can try next time maybe.
have a nice day

Birthday - Edit
I went for my 40th birthday to this restaurant, calling a good 10 days in advance to make a reservation, when I called I asked if their menu had either Sparkling Wine or Prosecco and was told no, specifying that we would eat and drink in the restaurant anyway, I asked if I could bring two bottles of prosecco because it is customary for birthdays to celebrate with these drinks, I was told yes.
Read moreOn May 21 exactly Sunday lunch, we go there and it was the only occupied table with 9 people, with tables reserved for us with tablecloths with happy birthday written on them.
So far so good, as soon as I get the bottles of prosecco the waiter calls the owner who in a totally unprofessional way told me, no no here we can't have drinks from outside.
Since there were 9 of us, I avoided leaving, because I don't make a fool of myself with my friends.
The owner had my review deleted on Google, saying I am a liar because all the people working with her could not have said that since they have been working there for years and said I wanted to save money with my drinks brought from outside.
In all this in the place there was our table occupied and two other tables with two people,we paid as much as 150 euros if not more and considering the behavior they had not only lost a customer but as many as 9.
In addition,the owner who cares about external controls,did not bother to be seen drinking the leftovers in the customers' glasses.
Pros: Nice food
Cons: Customer Service

Madre mia madre mia.
Read moreYou and your boyfriend are a couple of bullies who do not understand what a no means and what running a small bussiness means.
Im so tired of both of you writting again and again bad reviews about my restaurant just because i didnt let yoi drink your own bottlesnof proseco since i dont let that happend.
Get a restauran, pay all the things this restaurant needs to be open and then let me know how nice is having people try to bring their own drinks (which by the way is something quite cheap to do).
And to finish with that ( its been a month) as i told u i do not sell meat and i dont expect peoplw to bring meat to my restaurant.
By the way i ask all the people who answer the phone to pick up reservations and nobody told u that u can bring Proseco to my restaurant.
And the fact that you think becaise you spend 150 euros for 9 people give you some sort of privilege to do whatever you want..... says a lot about u.
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
oh and what do you mean about the owner drinking the leftovers in the customers glasses?what is that?
Read moreElisaBarbacci
You keep calling me a liar, but do you realize how unprofessional you are!
Read moreFirst of all, my husband did not make any comments either here or on Google, so before you spout rubbish make sure of what you are saying.
Most likely you have behaved badly with some other client, because to those who can't accept that they are wrong this happens.
ElisaBarbacci
No one said that having spent 150 euros I have benefits, you were wrong if not you your employee and a professional manager in addition to apologizing to the customer makes up for the mistake, not that he keeps saying that the customer wants to save money for two bottles of prosecco.
Read moreHonestly you are making a bad impression.
ElisaBarbacci
Of course your employees will never say yes to you, given how you behave with customers I don't dare imagine how you behave with your employees.
Read moreSurely they will be afraid of being fired.
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
Try to vring your own proseco bottles to another rwstaurant and see what they are going to tell u.
Read moreAnd yes you are a liar because NOBODY told you you can do whatever you want and drink whatever you want. Please do a favor to your self and stop being so cheap. You can not have drinks from outside in MY RESTAURANT because i put the rules. Period. not you. And you should apologise after the way you treated the stuff when u were at the restaurant. It was embarrassing
EstefaniaMedinaMuñoz
its been a month since i told you so face to face and u seemed to understand me but then after a month and about 5 reviews over the internet you are trying to make me apologise to you for something i have the right to do and its not let you drink your own drinks in a restaurant who sell drinks.... i also do not allow eat a doner kebab and everybody seemed to understand.
Read moreElisaBarbacci
You are an owner with no respect for customers.
Read moreYou have lost 9 customers and you will lose as many, for a vegan restaurant you really have no sensitivity.
Do yourself a favour, admit you are wrong in life because you won't get very far behaving like this.
ElisaBarbacci
We treated the waiter the only one who was there besides you that day more than well, so instead of making up more lies avoid making a fool of yourself.
Read moreIt's your word against the word of 9 people who were there.
ElisaBarbacci
I did not leave the restaurant on the same day because I had brought nine friends with me and certainly not because of your behaviour.
Read moreYou had my review deleted on Google so as not to make your restaurant go down in value, you know very well that you were wrong but instead of apologising you continue to behave in a way that is certainly not professional.

Delicious, and interesting menu - Edit
Our first dinner out on our visit to Berlin. we’ve always dreamt of going to a vegan tapas restaurant and alaska more than delivered.
Read morewe had most beautiful tasting patatas bravas ever, the most garlicky gnocchi you can imagine but in a good way, vegan foie gras (didn’t know what to expect but loved it) we also had a couple of croquettes which i was obsessed with especially the mushroom one, and a burnt aubergine dish with a lovely creamy sauce. so much stuff we’ve never tried before and really enjoyed every bite!

Worst Service in Berlin - Edit
Absolutely appalling service. There were 3 of us and we waited forever for our order to be taken — then one of our tapas was forgotten. We finished our wine and made multiple attempts to get someone’s attention, but we gave up on trying to have our wine refilled. The food was fine. When we went to pay, a bald man with tattoos verbally mocked me for asking to charge my phone, imitating my voice (I’m a young woman). It was incredibly unnecessary, childish, and rude? I genuinely hope he sorts out his personal issues. The other server ignored my multiple attempts to pay, so I wound up standing at the bar waiting for service for around 10 minutes.
Read moreAs a side note, the bald man yelled at patrons waiting inside and demanded they go outside — a rude and unnecessary gesture vs. simply asking them to wait elsewhere. And earlier in the night, we had been displaced from our table because they wanted to seat another reservation there — we were fine with moving outside but then they completely ignored us (despite wanting to order more food and drinks) so we decided to close out and go somewhere else without rude and aggressive staff.

Lovely Spanish tapas with a twist in a unique decor - Edit
I’m a big fan of Spanish tapas so I was happy to find a fully vegan tapas restaurant. The portions are good and the food very tasty. It’s clearly very popular, there was a queue. The service could have been better but they were understaffed due to illness. I recommend this place
