| Last reviewed: May 2026 House of Small Wonder is the Japanese-modern brunch room on Johannisstraße in Mitte, a spiral-staircase interior, the all-day pancake and Japanese-breakfast format the sister-room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn made famous, transplanted to the Berlin Mitte audience. The format works because the Berlin Saturday-brunch demand is one of the deepest in Europe and the kitchen runs the format with conviction. Book ahead for Saturday and Sunday; weekday brunch is walk-in.
Editor's Tip
Order the Okonomiyaki pancake and the matcha. The spiral staircase is the room's set piece and worth the booking on its own.
