Vegan in Berlin: Froindlichst

A big plate with hash browns, baked beans, tofu omelette, sausages, bread, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, butter, and sauce

Here’s one of the other new spots from our summer trip to Berlin. There was a time when we always went for an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch in Berlin, but it’s been many years since we’ve done that. Possibly covid ended that trend, or maybe we just need to do more research. This time we went for a regular Sunday brunch and were very pleased!

Dr HH had the breakfast burger, which included some omelette, bacon (a little difficult to bite through), avocado, and smoked salmon. All the components were good and worked well together – but maybe they would work better on a plate rather than squashed into a bun. I suppose that’s what you get when you order something in burger format then! The hash browns on the side were also tasty.

I had the full breakfast, and really enjoyed it. The sausages were a little softer than I would have liked, but tasted great. The mushrooms and tomatoes were nicely warmed through – I have no patience for the raw tomatoes you often get on a European breakfast. The beans were good but a bit saucier than I personally like – fortunately, they were contained in a little pot. The spinach was quite boring and doesn’t really belong on a breakfast plate for me. The hash browns were perfect, and the omelette was sensational, so thin and well flavoured. I could have eaten a lot more of that, and it makes me think I should experiment with omelettes a bit more at home. My only real complaint was the bread, which I would consider a very German bread and not really agreeable to my British palate – one of those dark, dry, seedy breads.

The restaurant was so busy I think they were turning people away, so definitely book a table if you plan to visit. I would definitely recommend this for a good brunch. I’d love to go back and try the pancakes!
