On March 16th and 17th in the beautiful indoor and outdoor location Arena Market, we are thrilled to present you the first edition of the Berlin Chocolate Festival, a weekend in which we celebrate one of the most beloved ingredient ever!
Italian and international specialties, both sweet and savoury, that brought out the flavour and versatility of this ingredient: from pasta to churros, from French crêpes to Mexican mole to Sicilian cannoli. All with one protagonist: cocoa, of course! At the indoor market you will also have the possibility to purchase chocolate delicates to take home offered by patisseries, Feinkost and local producers.
The Berlin Chocolate Festival is a special event that is meant to gather families and all chocolate lovers in Berlin and give them the opportunity to taste delicious international specialties made with this beloved ingredient. It is an extraordinary journey through the cuisines and cultures of different countries.
You will also have the chance to learn more about chocolate thanks to our talks and workshops. All of this and much more will be present at the first edition of the Berlin Chocolate Festival!
