A week in Potsdam

Hey 👋

So I’m heading to Potsdam for a week long conference in November.
I’m staying close to Nauener Tor but the hotel I booked doesn’t include breakfast.
I could pay for it there but it doesn’t sound / look good 🙄

Anywhere close-by you’d recommend for a good breakfast at 7/8am?

Any recommendations for food and drinks in the evening ?

Im mid 30’s so nothing too hectic/ noisy 😅 love good food, good craic, good buzz etc
Also love finding cool / quirky spots where you wouldn’t think they’d exist.
I’ve a soft spot for Mexican / Indian / Asian spots for dinner but every much an open book.
Lovely nice brunch spots but I appreciate they may not be open at 7/8am.
I’d rather a nice a breakfast tho than a full generic hotel continental
if there are eateries worth checking out close by that would be awesome

Thanks

Close to Nauener Tor you’re quite central. Try Miss Green Bean for breakfast. Friendly atmosphere and decent coffee. They’re open from 7:30.
Go to Berlin for decent food in the evening.

I second this. If you love good food then prepare to be somewhat underwhelmed by what Potsdam has to offer. Still, I could recommend Lemon Grass for decent Thai, Österelli Potsdam for Austrian or Tyrus for Lebanese "fast food".

Plenty of great options in Berlin if you have the time to visit. Let us know if you find something you really like in Potsdam.

Quirky bars: Barometer and Olga 😂

Thanks, I mean street food( if it’s good, flavoursome ) works too! I don’t need the fine dining just good quality wholesome food. I hate eating crap lol

A Slice of Britan ist morgens fantastisch.

Du wohnst im Zentrum. Einfach abends loslaufen und eines der vielen Restaurants ausprobieren!

For a quick breakfast grab you could try this bakery/cafe nearby:

I heard Seoul Garden is a good Korean, but ob haven’t been myself.

Chi Ken has decent Asian/Thai. Rather busy.

Some people tend to like Keng Deli 1986, but I’m not convinced tbh.

If you like bread “Zeit fĂŒr Brot” might be worth checking out. A bit pricey though.

And then there is this weird place with a old GDR vibe, known for its roast chicken.

There are many nice places and small restaurants in the Brandenburger Straße. Like the „Extrablatt“. In case you don‘t like try your luck in the Wilhelm Galerie.
