Fassbender & Rausch
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
The first chocolate restaurant in Europe! Yes, you read it right - instead of the usual few last pages, at Fassbender & Rausch, the whole menu has been taken over by tempting truffles, pralines, cakes, chocolates and other cocoa- and chocolate-based confections - from cover to cover. The meal starts and ends with dessert. The adjacent chocolate store - apparently, the largest of its kind in the whole world - offers an enormous choice of chocolate delicacies. Besides, Fassbender & Rausch only uses top-quality cocoa from Papua New Guinea, Venezuela, Ecuador, Tobago, Trinidad, Peru, Madagascar and Costa Rica in their masterpieces.
Fassbender & Rausch is an establishment with a history that dates back as long ago as 1863 when a Heinrich Fassbender started to produce the most delicious chocolate in Berlin. 27 years later, Wilhelm Rausch opened his first confectioner's. Finally, in 1999, as the two families joined forces under a shared name, the contemporary chocolate tradition of Berlin was born in one of the most beautiful corner in the whole of Europe - Gendarmenmarkt. Feel free to hang around sipping your coffee and savouring an incredibly sumptuous explosion of chocolaty flavour.
Fassbender & Rausch feel confident enough to fool around a little, immortalising icons like the Berlin Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the unsinkable Titanic in chocolate - and the edible replicas are pretty decently sized, too! And then there is the usual sweet kitschy stuff like the symbol of the city, the huge bear. A real chocolate paradise!
