From Eggs Benedict to avocado toast, granola and, of course, salmon and tartlets - there's no right or wrong when it comes to brunch. It just has to be delicious. And Berlin wouldn't be Berlin if it didn't have a huge selection of delicious breakfast restaurants. To help you find your way through the urban jungle and always know the best place to start the day, we've put together a list of the best places for brunch.
Tip 1: Enjoy an Anatolian breakfast at Forty Years
The memory of a coffee enjoyed together has bonded us for 40 years - this Anatolian proverb was the inspiration behind the naming of Forty Years. And delicious coffee isn't the only thing you'll be served by siblings Merve and Cemal in Graefekiez. The menu includes sourdough sandwiches, shakshuka, granola, Turkish poached eggs and French toast. There are also lots of delicious sweet and savoury snacks and original mocha from the traditional pot. You're guaranteed to remember this breakfast in 40 years' time.
Where: Dieffenbachstraße 52, Kreuzberg
When: Tuesday to Friday 9am - 3pm and 6pm - 10pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am - 10pm

Tip 2: Start the day with homemade delicacies at Keyu Café
Everything at Keyu Café is simply a feast for the eyes - from the designer interior to the integrated bakery to the actual reason for your visit: the delicious brunch with homemade matcha tarts, Chinese pastries and peach bingsu. In addition to all the sweet dishes, the Keyu Café also serves savoury food for a good start to the day: poke bowls, noodle salad, Eggs Benedict ... there are no limits to your brunch cravings. And sometimes it's best to simply combine sweet and savoury.
Where: Aaron-Bernstein-Platz 7, Mitte
When: Monday to Saturday 10am - 8pm
Tip 3: Feast at Geist im Glas with cocktails and co.
A lively bar in the evening, one of the best places to go for brunch in Neukölln at the weekend. The story of brunch at Geist im Glas began in 2012, when barkeeper Aishah missed the hot English breakfast with bacon and eggs. The limited space in the kitchen led to a few adaptations and interpretations. But the result is a brunch that will fill you up for the day and is considered one of the best hangover cures in Neukölln. The delicious cocktails and drinks from the bar are of course also available for brunch on request.
Where: Lenaustraße 27, Neukölln
When: Saturday and Sunday 10am - 3pm
Tip 4: Celebrate queer breakfast at SUPER
At SUPER, breakfast is still appropriately celebrated. After all, who said that the most important meal of the day shouldn't last just as long: the whole day. We would particularly like to recommend the Queer Breakfast Club, where disco hits and vegan/vegetarian canapés fly around your ears, while you can win a bottle of Frizzante at SUPER Bingo and Astro Jenny predicts your future. Sounds crazy and like one of the most fun breakfasts in town!
Where: Bundesallee 161, Wilmersdorf

Tip 5: Feel like you are on your way to seventh heaven at Seven Heaven

Even boozy brunch is no stranger to the sky-blue restaurant. An espresso martini is a great way to start the day, and a bottle of champagne is also available for birthday breakfasts. Afterwards, the neighbourhood around Savignyplatz with its small shops invites you to enjoy the day with a relaxed stroll.

Two passionate breakfast lovers turn their hobby into a profession - the result is Frühstück 3000, one of the best breakfast restaurants in the city. But let's start at the beginning: Martin and Lukas wanted nothing less than to break up the German breakfast culture and create something completely new. They have more than succeeded, as the two restaurants in Kreuzberg and Schöneberg are always busy. So you can look forward to Asian-style beef tartare, grilled cheese sandwiches, roast beef focaccia and excellent coffee with a pinch of hedonism. A great way to start the day.
