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.
Billed as a modern take on a classic neighborhood bistro, with selections from the vinyl records lining the walls played by the friendly staff, this casual eatery serves up seasonal small plates along with tasty drinks. Don't skip the daily house-made sourdough bread before nibbling on vegetable-forward dishes like Borlotti beans with cockles and turnips, and Bresse chicken with pippara peppers and chanterelles alongside Berlin’s black-clad foodies.
Though Berlin’s awash in Neapolitan pizza places, this sweet neighborhood spot bucks the trend with innovative topping combinations on a soft yet chewy sourdough crust. Sophisticated seasonal pizzas, such as charred broccoli and buffalo mozzarella or bacon with cauliflower and Swiss chard, please kids and adults alike, while the fine selection of cocktails, wine, and beer gives the adults even more to appreciate.
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.
