Van Loon

Kreuzberg


This retired Dutch cargo ship moored on the Landwehrkanal is a delightful greet-the-day spot, with sumptuous breakfasts served on the sun deck until 3pm. The menu and weekly lunch specials include vegan options. At night, candles and a crackling fire are conducive to romantic dinners.
