Milagro or 'the unexpected breakfast'
Milagro, Bergmannstr. 12, Kreuzberg, Breakfast from €3.80 to €19.50.
Heidi was about to leave, so this was truly a time for departures. However, this really did constitute a departure. This was our first plate ‘brunch’. The unexpected brunch.
Let me explain a few things. Perhaps the ‘unexpected’ should come first. For although it is usual for us to have brunch on Sunday it is also usual for us to at least have consulted each other by 10pm on Saturday. In this case, the brunch was almost miraculous, because it was arranged just before 2am on Sunday. Had I not still been talking with a new acquaintance in a local café after a movie… hell, had I not bothered to see the movie in the first place, then the unexpected brunch may never have happened. Had I been asleep, this may never have been arranged. And I would have missed it all.
Not only was it the first time I had ever arranged brunch this late (save the times when me and my then 23 year-old friends woke up starving after some warehouse party concerned not about food, or brunch even, but about some means of sustenance; such youthful misfortunes hardly count). It was the first time, that I have ever, on any Sunday, lowered myself to a plate brunch. I went as any true Berliner should, with disappointment before the event.
Kelly Ann, though, as a New Yorker through and through, came with other expectations. Because, as it happens, brunch is a New York invention. And they do know their shit. I confined myself to some plate, spent time kidnapping the waitress, and was rewarded with a beautiful plate of cheese. Rewards also came in the form of Hakim and Matteo, physicists with style and banter. It was my first early morning encounter with both of them, and they were both overwhelming and entertaining. Two wonderful additions to our brunching posse.
Still I missed the freedom of the good old Berlin Brunch, and though we may go on to many breakfasts in Berlin on a Sunday I will always remain a Berlin brunching girl at heart… hell, my heart has just been here too long…. - Roisin
