The former stable is home to a wealth of food with counters filled with cheese, cured and fresh meats,cured and smoked fish, sausages, salads,  bread and poultry. Rogacki has been in operation since 1924, originally in the Wedding district (yes, that is a real area in Berlin!) but has been at this location since 1935.
