Spargelfest at Cafe Berlin

May 8, 2012 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

This year our Spargelfest wine dinner will take place at Café Berlin Tuesday, May 8.  Café Berlin has been serving traditional German cuisine on Capitol Hill since 1986.  It is walking distance from Union Station and occupies the ground floor of three joined townhouses as well as the accompanying outdoor Bier Garten. The chefs are German, as are the owners, so the traditional dishes are authentically prepared, but with a lighter touch. Cafe Berlin is located at: 322 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Washington, DC  20002 (www.cafeberlindc.com).

We have designed a menu to satisfy your appetites: a soup, an appetizer, entree choice, all themed around our favorite pointy-headed spring vegetable, and a special dessert, … and, it’s a bargain at $80.00 for members, $87.00 for guests.
