Frühstück 3000 Kreuzberg

The Fruehstueck 3000 in Kreuzberg does without a buffet and serves every plate separately, from eggs Benedict at 24 euros to the version with caviar at 48 euros. Added to that are occasional flat-rate dates such as the Italo Disco Brunch, where 59 euros covers everything, and the dining room sits opposite the Jewish Museum.

Opposite the Jewish Museum in Kreuzberg

The Fruehstueck 3000 Kreuzberg sits on Fromet-und-Moses-Mendelssohn-Platz 9, directly opposite the Jewish Museum and within reach of Checkpoint Charlie and the Gropius Bau. Hallesches Tor station is a few minutes away, and because the area lives on visitors during the day, a meal here combines well with a visit to a museum. The restaurant is housed in the Metropolenhaus, a new building at the edge of the square, and it opened in June 2023 as the second house of the group. The first stands in Schoeneberg and is three years older, and both were founded by Maximiliane Wetzel, Lukas Mann and Martin Poeller. There are around seventy seats inside and another forty outside on the sun terrace. The interior was deliberately built rather than collected: custom oak tables, chairs from a German manufactory, a tiled counter by the artist Eric Winkler and a large painting by Navot Miller on the wall. The menus of the two houses are no longer identical, and some dishes exist only at this address, which makes a visit worthwhile even for guests who have long known the Schoeneberg restaurant.

Plates to order rather than a buffet, with caviar at the top end

By its own account the Fruehstueck 3000 wants to break open German breakfast culture, and that shows first of all in the form: there is no buffet, every plate is ordered and priced individually. Alongside classics such as farmers breakfast and pancakes stand dishes rarely found at breakfast, among them steak tartare in two sizes, a Caesar salad and a buckwheat pancake. The middle of the card sits at eggs Benedict for 24 euros, the upper end is marked by the same preparation with caviar at 48 euros, and caviar can also be ordered on its own. The house adds flat-rate dates on top, such as the Italo Disco Brunch, where 59 euros covers everything. The card also bundles individual dishes into combinations, pairing a main course with a cocktail or a soup with half a sandwich and giving a discount for it, and a monthly special runs alongside with a drink picked to match. Booking is done online or by telephone, which is strongly advisable given the number of seats, not least because the terrace fills first in good weather.
