Best places for Brunch!
There is nothing better than a relaxed, delicious brunch to start off your weekend!
During the Summer months (and early Autumn), it is best to call ahead for a reservation by at least 2-3 days - even a week for some locations. But it's worth the effort! Reservations can be made in English.

The Holzmarkt urban village on the Spree is a perpetually evolving cultural open playground. It allows you to peak into Berlin alternative culture.
Grab a pizza and a beer and count the boats passing by while chilling in the Mörchenpark, or treat yourself to a fine meal at Katerschmaus and dance through the night at Kater Blau.
