Kitten Deli

Vegetarian Israeli deli and bakery on Friedelstraße, a bakehouse since 1908: sabich, kohlrabi with feta and fresh challah.

Kitten is on Friedelstraße right next to Katie's Blue Cat, and the same people are behind it. The shop has been a bakery since 1908, and so it remains: bread and cakes are baked here, including for the café next door. The room is bigger than the name suggests, with wood panelling and high ceilings, almost like a Berlin pub.

The menu is vegetarian with an Israeli lean, developed by Yuval Belhans, who grew up in a Jewish-Moroccan family in Israel. The sabich comes with fried aubergine, tahini, egg, pickled mango and harissa, the roasted kohlrabi with feta and sesame oil. Dishes are for sharing, with fresh challah, and labneh in a jar to take home.
