Once one of Berlin's edgier neighborhoods, Prenzlauer Berg has become more of a food destination over the years, as it's welcomed an ongoing influx of creative professionals and new families with young children. Many of the restaurants here are well-established stalwarts, with a loyal clientele. Newcomers are just as likely to offer large, welcoming spaces, but have friendlier service, and more international menus.
A local favorite, this cozy, casual café is open from early morning into the wee hours, making it the perfect spot for everything from breakfast to a light lunch to evening drinks. There’s an affordable daily quiche and salad plate as well as a nice selection of cakes; if the weather is agreeable, find a spot on the sunny terrace, across from pretty Helmholtzplatz park.
Russian treats such as dumplings, borscht, blini (Russian pancakes), and much more are the mainstays at this casually refined restaurant with a lovely outdoor terrace for when the weather is nice. There are several set menus available for lunch and dinner, and the breakfast selection is second to none, with a wide range of set menus and egg dishes (including delicious shakshuka) alongside standards like pancakes and French toast.
\n\nif you come for the weekend brunch you can try just about all of the delicious dishes, as well as dessert, in an extensive buffet.
