Berlin is filled with food culture, inspiration and taste sensations that are often a lot more casual than what you’ll find in other big cities. Although they do it so very well, and we want to welcome them back, and thank them for all the love they bring to us through their kitchen’s. We’ve therefor listed some of our favorite alternatives so that you can rest and enjoy your day to the fullest.
Breakfast & Brunch
Eating breakfast and brunch out in Berlin takes some patience. Get pancakes and Champagne delivered to your door and enjoy it on the balcony instead.
Here's our favourite picks:
– ’Royal Canadian Pancakes’ with bananas, bacon, butter and maple syrup & a bottle of Crémant from 'Breakfast Club by Quchnia’
– ’Avocado Bagel’ with avocado, scrambled eggs, guacamole and tomato salad & Frozen ’Strawberry Twister’ Frappe from 'What a treat Kreuzberg/Friedrichshain’
– ’Shakshuka’ - poached organic eggs in spicy tomato sauce with peppers, fresh herbs, bread and feta cheese from ’Stilbruch Kaffee’
Lunch
Berlin offers original kitchens from all around the world, and manages to keep it simple and casual, yet outstandingly delicious. Bring your lunch outside, alone or with a friend, and don’t forget a blanket.

Dinner
Never have we been looking more forward to trying new restaurants, letting ourselves be spoiled and free.
