What could be better than a relaxed, carefree weekend brunch where you can sample everything from your favorite pasta dishes to a little daytime drinking ? Berlin is more culinarily diverse than almost any other city—and it’s getting more exciting every day. Just recently, a ramen restaurant was included in the Michelin Guide for the first time. Giant pizzas up to one meter in diameter, new cafés —the dining scene is more promising than ever. And brunch is right at the top of Berlin’s culinary list. From Middle Eastern to Chinese: Discover our favorites.
Berlin’s largest all-inclusive brunch buffet takes place in the historic Arminius Market Hall in Moabit and is one of the city’s most relaxed weekend experiences. Every Saturday and Sunday, several restaurants join forces to serve a diverse buffet—ranging from croissants and waffles to hearty dishes like Wiener schnitzel or salmon sashimi. For about 49.90 to 60 euros, the price includes not only the food but also unlimited drinks, including Prosecco. This way, you can spend several hours sampling different cuisines while enjoying the market hall’s unique atmosphere.
Benedict Berlin
As one of the city’s best-known brunch spots, Benedict Berlin has long secured a firm place in Berlin’s food scene. The concept of offering breakfast around the clock —whether it’s a classic brunch in the morning or pancakes in the evening—is particularly popular. The menu combines international classics like Eggs Benedict, shakshuka, and French toast with generous portions and a slightly whimsical, almost opulent style. Add to that the lively, often bustling atmosphere, which makes the spot a go-to destination for leisurely brunch dates among both tourists and locals alike.
Every Sunday: an Oriental all-you-can-eat brunch for €24.90 per person. If you’re in the mood for mezze instead of a bread basket at brunch, Cana Restaurant in Berlin-Mitte is the place to go: right on the Spree , they serve an Oriental all-you-can-eat brunch featuring Palestinian and Arabic cuisine every Sunday. The halal buffet includes mezze, hot dishes, desserts, and fresh bread, and is available in two time slots (10:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 1:00–3:30 p.m.) for €24.90 per person.
Café 21 Gramm combines history, design, and an almost sacred brunch atmosphere. If you’d like to enjoy brunch in Berlin in a truly special setting, Café 21 Gramm in Neukölln is a must-visit: It’s located in a former cemetery chapel and combines high-quality brunch dishes and specialty coffee with a unique, almost meditative atmosphere.
If you’re looking for something different from the classic Eggs Benedict for brunch: Every day, Shaniu Market offers a 90-minute Chinese all-you-can-eat brunch for €18.90. From 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., you can sample numerous dishes here, including youtiao with soy milk and jianbing.
Pasta from Berlin’s oldest bakery
Instead of opulent brunch buffets, what awaits you at the Siebert Bakery in Prenzlauer Berg is true craftsmanship: freshly baked breads, crispy rolls, sweet pastries, and homemade cakes. Perfect for a laid-back start to the day—perhaps with a filled roll or a pastry still warm from the oven and a cup of drip coffee. A must-try at Berlin’s oldest bakery are the classic Berliner (doughnuts) filled with jam, which are prepared here in the traditional way and pair perfectly with coffee.
Brunch in a hidden green oasis right in the heart of the city
Tucked away in a green courtyard in Berlin-Mitte, this café—which opened as recently as 2026—combines specialty coffee, homemade pastries, and seasonal brunch dishes with a relaxed garden atmosphere. Nestled among vegetable patches and shady trees, the place feels like a little oasis in the middle of the city. Whether it’s fresh sourdough bread, sweet pastries, or a leisurely weekend coffee— Café Garten Mitte is already one of the most beautiful new spots for brunch in Berlin.
Enjoy breakfast on the water with sparkling wine and fascinating stories from the ferryman. If you’re looking for a change of scenery while brunching in Berlin, head about an hour out of the city: At Spreehafen Burg, a two-hour breakfast boat tour departs through the idyllic scattered settlement of Burg-Kauper. The lovingly set table features rolls, cold cuts, scrambled eggs, fruit, coffee, and a welcome glass of sparkling wine; the cruises run from May through September and are conducted in German, or in English upon request.
