On Ludwigkirchstraße in Charlottenburg sits a café-restaurant that brings the Viennese coffee-house idea to Berlin and keeps it open from early until late.
White tablecloths, old photographs — small tables packed close. The look reads like a French bistro, the rhythm is its own. People stay for hours, read the paper, order another coffee. The menu carries the house through the day: a wide breakfast with a hearty Bauernfrühstück. Sandwiches and pasta at lunch, the Italian line in the evening with Wiener Schnitzel and cucumber salad. A seasonal weekly menu keeps the kitchen moving. In the neighbourhood a fixed address for locals and regulars.
