577 miles between us but Keston Kitchen teamwork is still going strong. So as Keston Kitchen UK was dishing up an exotic brunch at the Elrington Table, Keston Küche has been dutifully dining out at some of the best brunch tables in Berlin.
Brunch platter for two at Cafe Anna Blume in Prenzlauer Berg
Brunch is a Berlin institution. It's reflective of this city's laid back mentality that Sundays are perfectly designed to help you gently and easily recover from the night before. You stroll into one of the many and varied cafes when you wake, anytime between 11 and 5pm, establish yourself in a comfy spot - in the last throws of summer this has been on sunny terraces outside - and prepare to stay a while.
I've been to two types of brunches. The first is the standard choose-of-the-menu brunch. I guess the difference here is the array of choice and the generous portions, designed to be consumed slowly as you digest the events of the night before with a couple of bleary-eyed pals.
Then there's the brunch buffet. But this is no mad rush to stock your plate with cold toast and greying scrambled eggs; it is a delicious ever-evolving spread that will gently bring you back to life. When you first arrive, there's fresh fruit and yoghurt... then at some point croissants and bread and cheese emerge... then you notice the meats beginning to take over the table…. and for the hungrier there's pastas and hot dishes from mid afternoon. Who could fail to feel right as rain after this? And once you've spend a couple of hours at brunch, you stroll home and… do nothing. And that is Sunday in Berlin. Perfect.
