Website | EmailParadise is on the sixth floor of KaDeWe department store. At least for gourmets it is. This is not necessarily a place where people come to stock up on their weekly groceries, but more to marvel at the sumptuous mountains of food on display. Here you will see Japanese tourists photographing cheese counters, businessmen drooling over wine racks and housewives studying fish displays as if they were admiring works of art in a museum. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Kaufhaus des Westens was regarded as the West's shop window in the East. The store took on a political role and was seen as a flagship of western culture. It remains one of the most important tourist attractions in western Berlin.
