Breakfast has its own special place in every Berliner’s heart. Most
cafés serve at least five different kinds of “Frühstück”, and you can
order breakfast until late in the afternoon – at most places until the
evening menu sets in.
You can eat very well and at a low cost in Berlin.
Café Wintergarten im Litteraturhaus.
A perfect spot if you need a break from shopping on Kurfürstendamm.
Or if you just want to relax from the hectic part of Berlin in a pretty
little sanctuary.
Enter the gate, and the gravel will crunch under your feet as you
walk through a small rose alley. You will hear the sound of running
water from a fountain in the well kept little garden.
If the weather doesn’t allow for sitting outside, don’t miss the visit. Inside is a lovely winter garden.
The
lunch menu has a wide selection of nice salads and hot meals. There is
an ingenious choice of confectionery, and the ginger lemonade is
particularly recommendable. If it’s not on the menu, ask for it.
Café
Wintergarten is also a perfect place for breakfast. According to the
Berlin tradition, they have no less than six different breakfast menus.
Café Wintergarten im Litteraturhaus, Fasanenstrasse 23, Charlottenburg,
Grill Royale
One of the Berliners’ most sought after restaurants.
The
atmosphere is both fashionable and relaxed. You select your food from
big refrigerators with glass doors placed within the restaurant. You
can choose between beef, fish, fresh sea food, and overlook the
cooking, which takes place on an open grill.
Grill Royale has a fabulous bar with great drinks, including “the wicked ones” with Absinthe as one of its ingredients.
The restaurant is on the shore of the river Spree, with a view over the river and the boats going by in the evening darkness.
Grill Royale, Friedrichstrasse 105 B
Kreuzberg
“Morgenland”, Oranienstrasse at the corner of Skalitzerstrasse and
Teuffelstrasse. At the far end of Oranienplatz you will find this
lovely breakfast spot. It looks plain from the outside, but they have a
great brunch buffet, which is of course served until late in the
afternoon.
Amerikanische General Consulat
Recognize the café by the big golden logo above the door. Behind the
big windows of this café, decorated as a living room, you can enjoy
coffee and organic food.

Prenzlauer Berg
Cafe 103
A breakfast here, which is more like a brunch, costs around 13 Euros for two people.
Six
fixed breakfast menus, and it is hard to choose one over the others.
You recognize the place by its bright colored wooden furniture outside.
