Gay restaurants and queer-friendly cafés can be found in almost every central district in Berlin, but most visibly in the rainbow neighbourhood around Nollendorfplatz in Schöneberg.

Many restaurants have been an integral part of the scene here for years, and they are a good starting point for the evening.
In addition, you don't have to look far for a table in Berlin where you feel comfortable as a queer guest.

After a long night, Schöneberg is just as safe for breakfast as it is for a relaxed brunch at the weekend.
