.How to get there
The Bellwinkel culinary concept store in Günzelstraße in Wilmersdorf looks like a private kitchen and is so cosy that guests don't really want to leave. Not even when the shopping bags are full to bursting, the plate has long since been eaten, or the catering has been thoroughly planned.
With a passion for good food, high-quality delicatessen products and beautiful accessories, former architect Carola Doering and social pedagogue Pia Koppelkamm opened their beautiful Bellwinkel shop over ten years ago. Over the years, this veritable treasure trove of fine specialities and enchanting things from all over the world has become even more beautiful and personal.
The range of goods is not for people who like to buy things repeatedly for years, because apart from a basic range of oils, vinegar, salts and oriental ingredients, the product selection changes every three months or so and is then dedicated to an entirely new theme.
The concepts are harmonised so that fine delicacies and particularly beautiful trade fair discoveries are always lined up harmoniously on the shelves. It is a great pleasure to explore each item on its own and take in the overall work of art created by the two owners.
The hand-picked products always include a selection of English and oriental products, including jams, chutneys and chocolates. Everything is so beautifully packaged that I regularly find it hard to resist. There are countless beautiful cookery books and aprons made by hand in Berlin.
Another speciality of the house is the clay casseroles traditionally used in North Africa, called tajine, for which all the spices typical of the country are also available. That's why Bellwinkel always smells of exotic spices.
Especially between noon and 3 p.m., when seasonal soups and salads are freshly prepared in the shop as take-away lunches. Many of the dishes are oriental-inspired and always made from fresh, regional organic vegetables. Whatever you choose, everything tastes as good as it looks.
Incidentally, the two owners also prove how well they have mastered their profession with their equally lovingly prepared catering. They prepare hot and cold dishes for up to 120 people, almost always oriental or Mediterranean-inspired. Naturally, the food is delivered and even served on request. Carola Doering and Pia Koppelkamm have a perfect knack for this, too!
