Kreuzberg

Orientalisch angehauchte Küche findet man im Café Morgenland.

The Pan Africa Restaurant in Neukölln-Rixdorf brings the full range of flavors of the African continent to your plate. Here, a Nigerian chef cooks specialties from East, West, and North Africa, lovingly prepared with authentic ingredients like plantains, yams, and coconut milk. An African restaurant in Berlin that truly delivers on its promise.

A new team has been brewing on Hasenheide since 2026 in the kit of the former Brauhaus Südstern, which closed at the end of 2025. Seven beers run from the taps and the beer garden behind the house already belongs to Neukölln. As a gift for men the Suuud Brauerei offers brewing courses and tours, booked directly with the team.

The Milchbar on Manteuffelstraße in Kreuzberg has been one of Berlin's most legendary football pubs since 1988. Rock'n'Roll, foosball, pinball, and public viewing under surreal underwater murals make this place a true Kreuzberg original.

Homemade Georgian cuisine in the heart of Kreuzberg, just a few steps from Kottbusser Tor: Gio's stands for hearty, no-frills soul food, with Khinkali and Khachapuri that taste, and are meant to taste, like grandma's recipe.

In Kreuzberg, just a few minutes' walk from Anhalter Bahnhof, a second-hand bookstore with thousands of books hides on Stresemannstraße - which is the lobby of the Miraculum Premium Escape Room Theater. Behind it, four themed rooms await: Magistra Miraculorum, Frankenstein, The King of Dreams, and The Golden Phoenix. For those who want more, the outdoor adventure Aurora's Magic Cube offers a journey across Berlin.

At Nobelhart & Schmutzig on Friedrichstrasse nothing reaches the plate that does not grow in and around Berlin, and nobody eats at a table for two: guests sit at a counter around the open kitchen. Six courses start at 120 euros and eight at 200 euros, filtered water included, and every course names its producer on the card.

Anyone looking for a Turkish breakfast in Kreuzberg that feels like a Sunday morning in Istanbul will likely end up on Gneisenaustraße. Balkaymak Simit Evi serves freshly baked simit, hearty breakfast platters, and homemade kaymak.

In the Wedding neighborhood around Jülicher Straße, Zeytinim has made a name for itself: as a place for authentic Turkish breakfast that goes far beyond toast and coffee. People come here for the Serpme Kahvaltı and stay for the atmosphere.

At Dieffenbachstraße 52 in the Graefekiez, a sibling duo runs HARDT, a store for second-hand designer fashion with a focus on Helmut Lang, Yohji Yamamoto, and Prada. The selection remains deliberately small and understated, opting out of Y2K and party wear. Among Berlin's vintage stores, HARDT is the quiet and very well-curated one.
