What could be better than a relaxed, carefree weekend brunch where you can sample everything from your favorite pasta to daytime drinking ? Berlin is more diverse in culinary terms 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 a meter in diameter, new cafés —the food scene is more promising than ever. And brunch is 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 laid-back weekend experiences. Every Saturday and Sunday, several restaurants come together to serve a diverse buffet—from croissants and waffles to hearty dishes like Wiener schnitzel or salmon sashimi. For around 49.90 to 60 euros, unlimited drinks—including Prosecco—are included along with the food. 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 most famous brunch spots, Benedict Berlin has long secured a firm place in Berlin’s food scene. The concept of offering breakfast around the clock is particularly popular—whether it’s a classic brunch in the morning or pancakes in the evening. 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.
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, there’s an Oriental all-you-can-eat brunch every Sunday featuring Palestinian and Arabic cuisine. The halal buffet includes mezze, hot dishes, desserts, and fresh bread, and is served 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 your brunch in Berlin in a truly special setting, Café 21 Gramm in Neukölln is a highlight: 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 than the classic Eggs Benedict for brunch: Every day, there’s a 90-minute Chinese all-you-can-eat brunch for €18.90 at Shaniu Market. From 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., you can sample numerous dishes here, including youtiao with soy milk and jianbing.
Pastries from Berlin’s oldest bakery
Instead of opulent brunch buffets, what awaits you at Bäckerei Siebert in Prenzlauer Berg is true craftsmanship: freshly baked breads, crispy rolls, sweet pastries, and homemade cakes. Perfect for a simple start to the day—perhaps with a filled roll or warm pastries 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.
