For breakfast/ brunch try 19 grams chaussee – a charming, cheerful café serving up breakfast and brunch all week long, offering tasty twists on early-morning classics, all created by local Berlin caterer Little Joy. Think eggs Benedict with champagne hollandaise sauce, vegan porridge with oat milk and spiced apples, or oven-smoked baked beans on sourdough.

For lunch and dinner, you can try these joints:

Sophieneck– a cosy pub in a historic building is perfect for just that — Sophieneck serves up excellent German cuisine, with a menu that changes daily and offers fresh, local ingredients with a bit of international flair. Pork knuckle with pureed peas, bratwurst with sauerkraut, and schnitzel with mushroom sauce are the kind of dishes you can expect to find here. Grab a bier and enjoy.

Baraka– traditional ambience adds some charm to the delicious Moroccan and Egyptian dishes on offer at Baraka. Come with friends for sharing platters of falafel, couscous, hummus, olive salad, baba ganoush and spiced lamb.

Other popular hangout places with the locals are Currywurst, for their bratwurst drwoned in curry ketchup and Berliner Weisse for their beers which come with different flavours.
