Café am Neuen See in Tiergarten
Café am Neuen See is located on Lichtensteinallee in Großer Tiergarten, under old trees and directly by the Neuer See. Seating is spread across the terrace and the waterfront, with many tables offering direct views of the water. Next door, a classic self-service beer garden operates during good weather, explicitly without reservations. Rowing boats are available at the pier, an hour on the lake costs 14 Euros. For children, there is a sandbox between the trees, allowing adults to relax undisturbed. Despite its central location between Zoologischer Garten and Potsdamer Platz, traffic noise is barely audible.
Breakfast Menu and Lakeside Kitchen
The establishment has its own breakfast menu, available throughout the morning and even longer on weekends. The main focus is on the house breakfast, alongside freshly poached eggs on homemade brioche, pancakes with Greek yogurt and blueberries, Bircher muesli, a chia-coconut bowl, and porridge. For those who prefer something to hold, there are sandwiches with salmon or avocado, accompanied by cold-pressed juices. Later, the kitchen switches to a menu of warm dishes that runs until late evening. Tables in the restaurant area can be booked in advance, but this explicitly does not apply to the beer garden. Prices are in the mid-range of ten to twenty Euros per person.
