Restaurant Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli, Benkertstr. 21, Potsdam, Breakfast from €2.

Why Potsdam? Well, we know that Potsdam is actually the capital of Brandenburg, but Berlin’s famous city magazine, Zitty, found it in its hear to include it in a recent review of Berlin’s celebrities, and we followed suit.

And what a genuinely good idea that was. We just wandered round the Dutch quarter and found this place. And hey, while it's not quite Josephine, I think it probably qualifies as our favorite plate breakfast location in the entire Berlin area so far. The atmosphere is intimate, the service great, and the food was more than satisfying. There may have been no buffet, but hell we didn’t need it. The cheese and vegetarian breakfasts were both more than satisfying, my 5-minute egg more than completed my experience, and my mouth was truly watering when I saw Hakim’s extra, a steaming, perfect croissant. It even managed to sustain Scott, a true Berlin club warrior, who had been dancing in true big-city style 'til 9am before he joined us. And he lasted right throughout our autumn Potsdam wander after. Great credentials for any breakfast place anywhere… - Roisin
