Not your ordinary breakfast

Having breakfast outside of your own four walls has become increasingly popular during the last years. Though the number of places catering to this demand - often even until 4pm for the late risers - is very high, it is hard to find a place that sets itself apart from the usual breakfast fare of rolls, butter, cheese, cold cuts, jam and eggs. So, whenever I go and try a new breakfast location the originality of their breakfast menu is my main measuring point, followed by the atmosphere of the location and the service.

Tomasa at Villa Kreuzberg ranks high on all of these three measuring points. The staff was quick and friendly despite the high volume of guests. The location is an old mansion right next to Victoria Park in Kreuzberg with a nice outdoor terrace for warm and a fireplace inside for cold days. Last, but most importanly, the menu offers an exquisite selection of breakfast dishes of excellent quality. Take for example the breakfast of the month:

# Egg Benedict
# Scrambled egg with white asparagus
# Cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes and basil
# Serrano ham and cantaloupe
# Brie with pepper and onion rings
# Strawberry-chili-jam
# Strawberry tartlet with cream of vanilla and mascarpone
# Fruits for garnish
# Butter, honey and mixed bread basket

You don't have to choose from any of the items listed, but all of them come on one plate! The items were creative and presented on a huge plate in an appealing way. The price of 12,80€ is not cheap but on the other hand lunch will the unncessary after this delightful breakfast!

Recently I heard that dinner there is also really nice. So, I am considering doing another trip to check it out and report on it at the next possible opportunity.
