Easter is brunch time Our favourite culinary spots for a festive breakfast

Last summer, we convinced ourselves of the brunch quality in this unique location on the premises of the former crematorium in Wedding. The team has developed a particularly extensive programme for Easter: There will be a classic Easter egg hunt for the whole family.

In addition, all visitors to Mars will receive a homemade egg liqueur. Sophie's Easter plait with rhubarb-vanilla compote is also homemade. Less traditional are the brunch dishes: Chicken and Waffle with Crispy Chicken and Rübli Cheese Waffle, as well as Asparagus Langos with 68-degree organic egg, hollandaise and Manchego. We are sold!

Always worth a visit is the restaurant of the same name in the Hotel Michelberger. Via the inner courtyard on Warschauer Straße, you reach the culinary ray of hope in this otherwise rather barren corner. The spacious restaurant area with its high windows promises a cosy time with good food. At Easter, there is the well-known sustainable brunch buffet for 28 euros combined with a few Easter specialities that are still being planned.

We stick to hotel restaurants. Chiaro is an exquisite place for brunch. The restaurant in the Hotel de Rome hosts an Easter brunch on Easter Sunday, with a reception at the bar followed by a meal with various Easter specialities and live cooking stations. The whole thing is available for 99 euros, including reception, coffee and non-alcoholic drinks. Those who prefer their brunch "boozy" can order drinks à la carte. Weather permitting, there is also a barbecue station in the garden.

It doesn't necessarily have to be brunch. While brunch is a bit of a drag and is associated with a quiet start to the day, active people can reward themselves with an Easter lunch at Terz instead. Again, we don't yet know what dishes it will include, but it's a sure thing that it's coming, just as the beautiful bistro in the Schillerkiez won't disappoint.

In keeping with tradition yet with a modern interpretation, Charlotte & Fritz at Regent Berlin offers an Easter brunch menu to share, with a choice of vegetarian, fish or meat. Home-baked focaccia, salads, homemade pickles, grilled vegetables and flädlesuppe as starters take precedence over a rack of lamb, brown trout from 25 ponds or vegetarian gnocchi with wild garlic, Dresdner Berle and cress. There is lukewarm carrot cake, crème Chantilly and lemon sorbet for dessert. So for his "favourite holiday", chef Daniel Müller goes all out. The menu costs 89 euros for adults, with cheaper offers for children, depending on their age.

Das Stue in S/O Berlin offers a fully developed Easter concept. On 9 and 10 April, the Lazy Easter Breakfast will be served as a buffet, with various dishes from classics such as Easter plait and coloured eggs to beef tartar and Eggs Benedict to shakshuka and crispy chicken waffles. Including coffee and non-alcoholic drinks, the whole thing costs 79 euros for adults and 37 euros for children aged 7 to 12. But that's not all: for the little ones (who can come for free if they are under 7), there will be egg dyeing from 1 pm. And for those who prefer to go in the evening: the Stue also offers an Easter dinner from 6 pm.

We just can't let go of Bonvivant. The Schöneberg cocktail bistro is too likeable for that, and its offer, whether for drinks, dinner or, in this case, brunch, is simply too good. Of course, the kitchen team around young chef Nikodemus Berger has also come up with something special for Easter.

With non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage accompaniment (53 euros), there is an extensive brunch menu (95 euros), meat-free, of course, and with the best that the fields and forests have to offer. Kohlrabi with fir, celery with charcoal butter, asparagus with nut butter and the delicious kale with egg yolk, which we recently had the pleasure of tasting at dinner at Bonvivant. Plus an elaborate dessert and petit fours with coffee.
