The Mauerpark Flohmarkt (fleamarket) is widely recommended to visitors of Berlin so we blocked out some time to see it on Sunday. There's food, hand-crafted items, imported trinkets and touristy souvenirs but the market is actually dominated by folks selling second-hand goods. We didn't find much to excite us besides the Sun Day Burger stand, which opens at 11am.
The name's a good fit, seeing as they serve almost exclusively tofu burgers (~3.5€ ~ AU$4.30 each), and here only on Sundays. The tofu is sliced thinly, marinated in soy sauce and ginger, barbecued and stuffed into a wholemeal bun with lettuce tomato, beetroot (!), cucumber, fried onions, fresh coriander, sprouts and your choice of chipotle chili marmalade, Thai peanut sauce or mango chutney. I love the nutty not-too-chewy bun and the freshness bursting from this burger; you won't go wrong with any of the condiments.
On this day they were also offering fruit punch with the burgers for a little extra - definitely worth the punt. And I noticed that in addition to being totally vegan, Sun Day Burgers offer a gluten-free option, something we rarely observed in Berlin!
If you have the time to stick around 'til mid-afternoon, we hear the Mauerpark Sunday afternoon karaoke is worth a look. We had to get on our bikes and cross town, and missed it.

Something about sunflower seeds on a dark glossy bun is incredibly saliva-inducing!
