Essen is packed with fabulous restaurants, with breath-taking panoramas and modern design. What’s more, the brunch offering is fantastic too, with everything from classic German sausages to healthy bites on offer in the city. Here’s our guide to some of the best places to enjoy brunch in Essen.

Unperfekthaus

1. Unperfekthaus

Monastery

Housed in a former Franciscan monastery, Unperfekthaus is a cultural institution dedicated to accommodation, catering and artistic endeavors. The venue is about 4,000-square-meters in total and spreads over no fewer than seven floors. The fabulous concept of the entire artistic hub is openness towards its visitors, and the brunch buffet is delicious.

2. Cafe Extrablatt

Cafe, German, Pub Grub

Located on Kennedyplatz and mingling with high street stores, cinemas and boutiques, Cafe Extrablatt is one delightful cafe that’s definitely worth a visit. Known for its international cuisine and cozy atmosphere, the cafe is a morning den for both locals and tourists. Serving a typical American breakfast menu with bacon and fried eggs, it’s hardly a surprise people come back for more.

3. Seitenblick

Restaurant, Gastropub, German, European

Seitenblick is a restaurant that distinguishes itself with a unique combination of Black Forest regional cuisine and modern and international touches. Dominik Kramp, the entrepreneur of this endeavor, incorporates his passion for fresh farmed products, German culinary traditions and modern flair all at the same time. Consequently, the breakfast and brunch here mingle traditional bread with meatloaf and haute tarte flambé for something a little different.

The Bavarian restaurant der Löwe is located near Berliner Platz and can host up to 50 people. The fireplace inside offers some hearty warmth in winter, while the dishes never fail to fill!
