“Photos not allowed inside”. We celebrated New Year’s here, and, naturally, you might have certain expectations for such a special night. But… honestly, we didn’t like it. First, we spent quite some time just trying to find the entrance. It was freezing outside, and it turned out to be a hidden door. Fine, we finally got in. Then, we had to pay for the coat check just to leave our stuff—seriously, what kind of nonsense is that? Next, we had to find a place to sit, even though we had bought our tickets months in advance. Turns out, that didn’t really mean anything. You don’t get a reserved table, just entry. Whatever, we managed to find seats. Then came the cocktails. They were terrible. We gave it another try and ordered different ones—still awful. And the prices were ridiculously high. At first, I thought maybe I was just being too picky since I’ve had plenty of amazing cocktails and even have bartender friends. But no—none of us liked them. They were either too sour or too bitter, just not enjoyable at all. The music was nothing special either, despite the lineup promising big-name DJs. Overall, we had a decent time because we were with a great group of friends, and we can have fun anywhere. But the bar itself didn’t add anything special to the night.

Great little tucked away speakeasy. Was recommended this place by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Tucked away under a bridge behind a non descript door. The inside feels like a tastefully decorated bunker with two main seating areas, a large bar and a booth space with a reflective wall that adds greatly contributes to the vibe. The drinks are solid and well priced. The staff are welcoming and kind. The DJ that started off the night was a blast. The music was loud but not so much that you were screaming to be heard. The bathrooms were also very clean. FYI you can smoke indoors so for those not accustomed to that experience please be aware.

* A review about the bar side * * Willingness to return visit: 120% * Suitable place for everything business, party, date, alone :) * Smoking is allowed inside. * Storage for the Jackets and bags.( 1.5or 2 euro) * I'm Including the sound videos of 12am’s 'before and after' in this review. Because around 12 o'clock, the atmosphere before and after is quite different :D ! but don’t worry, The atmosphere won't change suddenly. Competent DJs are making increasingly mood with well selected music . it will definitely make you wanna dance around 1:00. The friendly bartenders also make cocktails that are not on the menu, satisfying your taste. Well, If there's one thing that's missing, the cocktail glass is a bit.. ugly? not pretty?. . Haha um The cocktail glass can’t keep up with the cocktail tasty& mood🙈

One of the best bars in Berlin. Attentive staff, creative bartender. Delicious cocktails and a good selection of whiskey. The atmosphere is super comfortable.

If you want to try authentic Japanese food, this place will be the best for that kind of experience. This place reminds me of a typical Japanese fast food place with quality products, very fast work and friendly waiters. The big plus point of the place is the speed of preparation and the taste of the food. Also, the food here is quite hearty. It may seem like you won't get full, but actually even a small set of sushi rolls is quite hearty. The average price is more than affordable, especially for Japanese food. You can order a set for €10-18 and you don't need to take drinks because the green tea is free.

Ishin a fantastic sushi restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic sushi at a very reasonable price. It’s such a great find to have high-quality sushi that’s both delicious and affordable. I found myself visiting almost every week, as the food is consistently excellent. The service is also outstanding friendly and attentive, making each visit even more enjoyable. If you’re in Berlin and craving sushi, Ishin is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss!

Great Japanese restaurant with authentic sushiThe restaurant is spotless, offering free green tea, and it's in a great location. Highly recommended for sushi lovers seeking a true Japanese dining experience

Ishin Sushi in Berlin is the definition of “it’s fine” when it comes to sushi. The taste is okay, but don’t expect to be blown away—it’s pretty basic. The sushi is fresh and decent, but nothing that’s going to have you running back for more. If you’re looking for super unique flavors or a next-level experience, this might not be your spot. That said, the prices are super reasonable, especially for Berlin. It’s one of the cheaper sushi places around, so if you’re ballin’ on a budget, Ishin gets the job done. Plus, they give you free green tea, which is always a win.

We went for dinner, the place is so vibrant even though we went at 10pm and the rest of Berlin was sleeping already. the food was excellent. the service impeccable and they had a stock market for beer pricing which was very interesting to see.
Nada Hechema - 2 weeks ago

We went purely for the stock market beer pricing, but sadly this doesn't start till 5pm and we went at lunch time. No matter, had food and beer and both were great. Swift service despite being fairly busy, food was very good. Very good location and will return.

Lovely bar with great food and quick service, reasonably priced too! Tried to get in on the evening over the weekend but it was full so book in advance for peak times! They have beers priced according to demand (stock market type screens!) so good fun on the evening of you want a few drinks and food. Great spot

After a long day of travelling we were looking for somewhere to relax, drink beer and get a snack and the Berliner did not disappoint. The beer was great with various sizes even 1.5L so really what more could you want? We also decided to have a little snack and both had a pretzel. The waiter said he made it extra pretty for us and I agree it’s looks very nice. After much beer was drank and the pretzels were all gone we headed off very satisfied with this restaurant.

Authentic German restaurant/pub. The food is good, but not perfect, the prices are average for Berlin, the service is a bit slow. The employees are very friendly and the atmosphere and ambience are 5 stars.

Nice genuine French restaurant close to the Spree with a lot of tables outside. Easy way to enjoy the river, people and city life. Food is fast and presented well. Service is a bit slow but food is served fast. Menues are on the smaller side, but it should be enough. There were a lot of wasps here, so sitting outside was a problem.

I ate there today. The place is very well located, the waiters are very friendly, and the flavor of the Bio omelette with chorizo was spectacular. The only thing I didn’t like was that I ordered a small bottle of water, a cappuccino (€3.80), and the omelette (€12.50), and they charged me €25.52. I don’t think the bottle could have cost €7???

I had the Flammkuchen, which is like flatbread or pizza, with sparse toppings so the crust stays crisp. It was good and large enough to share. My husband had the Raviola with basil which was delicious. Servers were VERY busy so we had to wait. We had a lovely outdoor table along the river and the restaurant had blankets available as the evening was chilly.
Janet Dunlap - 5 months ago

The atmosphere was great. Seating right by the river. The menu had a lot of options for breakfast, almost too many. Our server was lively and had a great table side manner. The food was excellent. No kid's menu but they had good enough options on main menu.

The food was just okay. The prices were high, and I didn’t enjoy my meal—especially since the chicken had a weird smell.

Fine place, fine menu. Fast friendly service. Food is delicious, BUT you for sure can feel it was all cooked some time ago and warmed up for you. It’s delicious, but you don’t feel like they cooked for you. Also loud place. There is a train station and building shakes every 5 minutes but we liked it.
Aksinia Artemenko - a month ago

Stylish restaurant, unusual environment. Service pleasant, but could care more about their guests. Wide selection of food and drinks. Surprised by the bilingual menu, thank you for that. The food itself was good, but definitely has room for improvement. It was surprising that the restaurant was not even half full. The restaurant is located right under the train station tracks, sometimes a train just passes over your head:)
Michal Beránek - a month ago

Trendy restaurant with 1920s theme situated underneath the railroad. It makes a lot of noise when trains run over. During the event happens less. Food is good and service is both fast and professional. Good selection of beer and drinks. The dessert menu was a bit short, but had what you need for a proper German dessert. Appel strudel and cream
Håvard Siegel Haukeberg (Howie) - 5 months ago

We stumbled upon this restaurant on our last night in Berlin and it truly topped off a fabulous weekend. It was our favourite dinner of our trip. A true taste of Germany! We ordered the meatballs and for desert we had the delicious Apfel Strudel. The service was great, we had a lovely waitress and although the place was packed with people, we were served so quick. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience authentic German food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Amazing place to dine and try German food in Berlin. Don’t let the location fool you! It is right by the train station in a cute little alley near the beautiful River. Menu with amazing German food offerings for vegetarians and non vegetarians as well. Portions are quite generous and the prices are very reasonable. Service is very friendly and top notch! Highly recommend!

The place was full but personnel was able to get us a spot 🙏. I honestly recommend the karamell pancake, which was heavenly! The other pancakes and their smoothie are also things i very much recommend! Thanks for this great meal!

Amazing spot! Stumbled upon it. Didn’t have a reservation but they were kind enough to seat us anyway. Was so fantastic we booked for breakfast the very next day as well. They do a cafe kuchen in the afternoon and the cakes looked fantastic. Will definitely be back for that!

What an amazing spot to relax in Berlin! This Café is absolutely lovely in every way. The Service was fantastic, although we didn’t have a reservation, they kindly accommodated us with a cozy table where we could fully enjoy our time. The Brunch was great as well! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Café experience.

The server was really nice and friendly, and we managed to get a place without a reservation though for only an hour. Matcha latte was quite good, and the croissant with goats cheese and walnuts, egg omelette was good too albeit a bit expensive!!!

This German cafe has the ambiance of a fine dining chain, but unfortunately, the food falls short. We tried the cream soup, which was delicious, but the accompanying bread was extremely dry. The Caesar salad, despite the staff’s commendable effort to accommodate our dietary needs (no cheese or vinegar), was overly saucy and unpleasantly watery. The Kaiserschmarrn was another letdown, far from the quality we expected. On the positive side, the staff were kind and attentive, and the restaurant’s toilet facilities were impeccably clean, with a dedicated cleaner maintaining them after each use (though tips are optional). While the service and cleanliness impressed, the overall food quality makes it hard to recommend this cafe.
Sarah Fan - a month ago

Central ubication and typical continental food. I ordered a vegetarian option that consisted of different breads and cheese. The service was polite, but they work slowly ( i don't know if it was a sporadic thing if it is usually like this), that's why I would recommend it go with time. Nonetheless, the caffe was elegant and charming, and I would definitely recommend it.

Nestled in the heart of Berlin, Einstein unter den Linden offers a delightful dining experience steeped in tradition and elegance. The restaurant's ambiance is special, with its classic decor and warm lighting creating a welcoming atmosphere. My visit for breakfast was a treat for the senses, as I indulged in the Sylter Frühstück, a delectable assortment of shrimps, gravlax with horseradish, smoked halibut, radish, lemon, and a basket of freshly baked bread accompanied by creamy butter. The quality and generous portion left me impressed and eager to return for more. The in-house baked bread was a standout, and the coffee proved to be a satisfying complement to the meal. Despite the overall positive experience, the service left something to be desired, as our waitress came across as pushy, particularly when it came to tipping. Despite this minor setback, Einstein unter den Linden remains a must-visit establishment for those seeking a taste of traditional cuisine in an unforgettable setting. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu offerings.

I loved the authentic decoration there it felt so vintage and warm. The staff was really friendly. The desserts were delicious and fresh too

We visited the restaurant for brunch on a warm Sunday. The staff were very friendly and helped us practice our German, and the food was fantastic - really fresh and we were both very full when we left! The cakes looked lovely but we didn't have room to try them unfortunately - we will have to go back!

Amazing quiet atmosphere lovely to have few drinks, good food and be able to have a conversation. Service was excellent! Even though we ordered classic dishes, it was tastefull!
Andrea Hernandez - a year ago

The waitress was extremely kind, the place is super nice. The prices a bit high but in the average for the area which is super nice. The plates had very little of Italian, I went there because some German friends booked and as Italian I've to admit that the plates are very different from what we eat in Italy: the lasagna has nothing to do with our lasagna, risotto with chicken is more indian than Italian cousin, gnocchi refill with pesto is not our traditional gnocchi with mozzarella, parmigiano etc, and the pizza was more German pizza than Italian pizza. Said so, the area around is super nice and the service is kind, it's a good place for foreigners, a bit less for Italians.
Claudia Cicalese - 2 years ago

Staff here were super friendly. The food was original and very big potion sizes. The risotto was beautiful and a very large free shot at the end! Would recommend!

The food at this place was great. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars for service was because we came in an a 10pm and the restaurant closes at 11. We kind of felt rushed and noticed the servers annoyance with us coming in. Mind you we were out of there by 10:45 so that either shows the food come out fast or we were rushed. Nobody was rude to us directly at all. Anyhow beef tartar is a must have. I didn’t take pictures as it was so good and I was hungry. The steaks were perfectly seasoned cooked to the perfect temperature. Also I am not a bread person but the bread was so good😌. Restaurant wasn’t busy for Friday night either and walked in no reservation needed. Took pictures of the aftermath of the delicious food. Empty plates show I will definitely come back again.

Absolutely delicious. It was my first time here and we visited as a team for lunch. I have absolutely loved this place. Had American Tenderloin as steak with mashed potato with salad in Italian dressing, also carrot-ginger soup, tomatoe-bruschetta and tomato-burrata and french fries as side dish, lava cake with walnut-caramel ice cream. And every single one of these tasted absolutely delicious. As it was not enought how a good meal all we ate was, we were once again schocked by the amazing dessert:) Wonderful quality and fast and also kind service. We had a blonde mid-aged gentleman serving our table and he was super nice.

Arrived to hotel pretty hungry after a long train ride to Berlin. Luckily this place was right around the corner so I went in for a steak. Very happy with the decision. Steak was a perfect medium rare and tasted great. Dessert wasn’t bad either. Service was also very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.
A. Thibodeaux - 3 months ago

Very robust steak and extraordinary service quality. It’s a good place for either lunch or dinner with a group of friends or families. The desert also as tasty as steak. I

Came to this steakhouse with friends, not quite in the mood for steak, and left pleasantly surprised. The diverse menu options beyond steak were impressive and truly delicious—everyone found something they loved. Despite our varied orders, each dish was well-prepared and satisfying. The ambiance exuded a cozy yet sophisticated vibe, contributing to a great dining experience. The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring our visit was enjoyable. While we didn't dive into the steaks, this place exceeded our expectations and made for a fantastic dining outing.

The food was nothing special: the Pasta Carbonara my husband had was not tasty at all, but my Quatro Formaggi pizza was ok. The service was quite slow (especially because there were a lot of empty tables). But I must say, the staff was very friendly and the location is good. High point: they accept payment with American Express.

The place was empty when we arrived, but wanted to check this place out anyway. We were greeted by a nice guy, helped us really well. 5/5 The food was nice, would give it a 4/5. It was fresh and the portions were a good size. We had pasta arrabiata and a funghi pizza. The prices were a little on the high side though. Nearly 5 euro's for a cola. Lunch was also quite expensive. I think changing the prices would help them a lot. Interior was good!

Vaporetto is a good resturant to stop by for having drinks with friends or a quick snack. One can stay inside, but outside as well as there are tables close to water, perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The service was friendly and quick, with drinks coming not long after order. For eating, I had the homemade lasagna. It consisted of 2 pieces of lasagna in sauce. The dish was alright, but not the best. I would recommend the resturant, eligible for rather snacks and drinks than the main dishes due to quality of the food. For drinks, I had a glass of basic orange juice.
