Best authentic Peruvian restaurants?

honestly, if you want to impress her, skip the touristy spots and head to La Bodeguita in Schoneberg. they do a really solid ceviche clasico that actually tastes like lime and rocoto, not just a citrus bomb. the lomo saltado is legit too, though portions are a bit small for the price (around 15 euro). fwiw, i'd call ahead to check if they have lucuma for dessert, cause it sells out fast and it's worth it

If she's craving something beyond the classics, try Los Chamos in Friedrichshain. They focus on Peruvian street food and the salchipapas are a guilty pleasure, but the real standout is their jalea mixta, it's a massive platter of fried seafood with a proper salsa criolla. It's a smaller spot so you might want to grab a table on the quieter side of the room, and they do take cards now which is convenient.

i'd actually recommend Inti in neukölln, it's super low-key and feels more like a home kitchen than a restaurant. the causa limeña is probably the best in town, really creamy and the aji amarillo hits right. they do a pisco sour that's not watered down either, which is rare around here. just note it's cash only and they close pretty early, like 9pm most nights

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
