a month of sundays

Roisin, Heidi and Kelly Ann are blasting through Berlin's brunching hot spots, Bezirk by Bezirk, and sharing the delightful and delicious places that make Sundays oh so much better without doing the dishes.

Atlantic

Cafe Atlantic, Bergmannstr. 100, Kreuzberg. Breakfast from €5

Our first brunch in a long time. Why, may you ask such a long an intervening period? Well, I was in Italy, visiting friends, then traveling with family and suffering the travesty that is the Italian breakfast (small coffee and stale croissant if you are asking). Anything would have been better than that crap, and I don’t care how wonderful Italian dinner is, I sorely missed the Berlin breakfast experience. So, when Kelly Ann suggested Atlantic, I quickly agreed.

I could not secure an early reservation, so I arrived a half an hour early, and with some excellent Dublin table skills managed to get a good one. Our service was understanding, attentive, and truly excellent. However, I still can’t get over the disappointment of being confined to what is on the menu. I was ironically entertained by what they described as an Italian breakfast (nobody in Italy would go anywhere near such a thing that early), but did genuinely desire the excellent selection of cheese and olives that entailed. Unfortunately, that also entailed taking the meat, and while I will occasionally dip in I would prefer not to. Buffet brunch providers of Berlin, where are you…? Mail us!!! – Roisin
