Exotic and interesting restaurants to try out in Berlin - South America & Latin America

Feeling hungry and looking for a cozy and special place for a yummy dinner?
Among your New Year's resolutions, there was one about reducing your takeaway madness and you are opting for a real restaurant, for a change?

Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (2008), has a couple of tips in store for you:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
Don't eat anything that arrived via the window of your car.
If your grandma couldn't pronounce it, it's not food.

[Yep, it's that simple.
Not that surprising and yet so refreshing, right?]

Simple advice, and yet not always easy to live by, apparently. For most people.
