Reviews:
This nice Italian cafe, caffeteria and delicatezze is located on a side street near the Janowitzbrücke train station. The friendly service at the bar, the good music and the tasty giabettas compensates for slowliness. Great place to have your breakfast if your hotel is nearby.

Brückenstr. 4, 10179, Berlin-Mitte (U/S Jannowitzbrücke)

Accessible? small stair (less than 10 cm) in the entrance; toilets not accessible (door about 70 cm).
Child-Friendliness? Only in general attitude (no play corner, etc.); there is "babychinno" (milk for the cappucinno machine).

The Cafe/Restaurant on the top of the Reichstag
Reviews:
Tirsomal writes that "It is a very modern bar/restaurant although it is not easy to find as it is not very well indicated. We were there in January, so the terrace was closed. If you go in the summer I bet they have tables outside.
If you are planning to visit the Reichstag, you must go there for a drink! :)"
Booking this restaurant is also a good way to avoid standing in the queue for the Reichstag.

DJ writes in the SaoDaly blog: "I decided to have lunch at Vietnam Restaurant
that I found by accident the day before. A big bowl of pho (fer) gave me enough energy to last the entire afternoon. It was not quite like the pho that I am used to in Paris or in Amsterdam but it was delicious and good enough for 7.50 Euros, cheaper than here or in Paris, with less stuff of course."

Chez Gino

Reviews:
Lizzie writes in "Hollow Legs": "I couldn't leave Berlin without eating potatoes and Sauerkraut. We went to a restaurant called Chez Gino and tried to decipher the menu. In the end, I asked the waitress for a recommendation. She told me the Boudin Noir with potato puree and Sauerkraut is what she would have picked. With some apprehension as I'm not even a fan of black pudding, I went with her suggestion (more sausage!).
Unfortunately I completely forgot to take a photo at the beginning, so I have just a half eaten one. I loved the sauerkraut; it's tang cut through the richness of the sausage perfectly. My dining companions (especially the veggie) turned rather green when I explained what the sausage consisted of, but I actually really enjoyed it, much more than I thought I would. It's texture was very soft, with a nice, almost crunchy casing."

Kiezkind
Style:
Cafe
More:
Indoor playground!
Reviews:
Kiezkind is located, not surprisingly, in the child-abundant, yuppie, Prenzlauer Berg. It is a cafe that serves only the most basic food (soup of the day, cakes, sandwiches), but is - most importantly - geared towards children (especially toddlers) and their parents: it has plenty of books, games and an indoor sandbox. In addition, there are Bobbycars, tricycles and other such fun toys outside, for sunny days. The place is naturally totally smoke free, although I have seen parents smoking outside in one of the corners.
The Basics:
Helmholtzplatz 1, 10437, Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg
Phone: +49 (0)30 97 88 09 04
URL: Kiezkind
Accessible? There are no stairs; and the toilets seem to have a rail, but the door is very narrow (perhaps 70 cm wide?) - it is possible that there is another way into the toilets.
Child-Friendliness? well, this is what this place is all about! this includes even potties, sinks and toilet bowls in the right size, etc.
