Käfer
Ask your concierge to make a reservation at the rooftop Käfer restaurant, at the foot of Sir Norman Foster’s Reichstag Cupola as this is a good way to speed up entry into the German parliament building. You arrive through a side entrance on Scheidemann Strasse. You don’t avoid waiting in line completely (groups have to gather before the staff leads you to an elevator that sweeps you to the top), but it helps to have a reservation and your name already in the system. It’s best for breakfast or brunch when the sunny views are most beautiful. Open daily.

Mandala Suites Lounge
Still something of a secret, the all-white lounge at the Mandala Suites (the sister hotel of the Mandala Hotel Potsdamer Platz) is the chicest way to start your day. Sip a cappuccino while nibbling on a croissant and enjoying the stunning views of Potsdamer Platz and beyond. You have to call ahead to book (if the hotel is full, they don’t allow outside guests). Once in the lobby, you’re escorted to the lounge. Breakfast only.
