Brunch/Breakfast wars in Berlin :D

Brunch is a special event in Berlin. There are plenty of places that offer nice buffets from 9:00-16:00. Yes, that late!

Today, I was in Frida Kahlo. Since I have moved to the fashionable district of Berlin, Prinzlauerberg, I visited Frida Kahlo several times for breakfast (not brunch :D). They serve a mean cappuccino: just the right mix of frothiness and sweet-bitter espresso. I also love their ambiance. Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite painters, and the deep and rich colors of this place with Frida Kahlo portraits make this place extra special.

Today, in Frida Kahlo, I had the chance to be there for a buffet brunch - they do indeed have a decent size buffet, with the mix of usuals: eggs, cold cuts, cheese, cold salads (the cold pasta salad with chorizo was especially nice), hot dishes (I did not have any but they had lasagna for instance), and the sweets. I had a huge serving, and everything was delicious.

But, but I still think Maibach, in Nollendorfplatz, is the BEST place to have brunch. First of all they have this huge salmon, cooked to perfection! Just for that, I would always go to Maibach for brunch.

Other good options for brunch: Cafe Bilderbuch (Akazienstrasse), Cafe Morgenland (Skalitzer Strasse), Café Anna Blume (Prenzlauer Berg).
