Our first time was April 2024 when we visited Berlin to celebrate my birthday. We loved Berlin so much we came back in October for our anniversary and celebrated here. The chef was very creative with each dish and each had so many flavors. We got the wine pairing which complemented the food very well. Service was great and attentive. It was also nice that one of the staff remembered us from our first visit. We enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back the next time we visit.

Ordered the 7 courses. Overall an incredible vegetarian culinary experience. Each dish was creative/novel, a unique menu filled with combinations that surprised me. A interesting juxtaposition between the casual atmosphere and the Michelin starred fine dining experience. Eccentric decor. Service was impeccable. 7 courses was 140 euros. Was able to get 15% off by booking online a couple days ahead of time.

Visiting this restaurant is an adventure in itself. The location is truly unique and getting there is an experience in its own right. The restaurant is situated in a remote area, and the journey to reach it takes you through a scenic route that sets the perfect mood for a culinary journey. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Martha, who provided us with exceptionally friendly and professional service throughout the evening. Her attention to detail and warm smile immediately made us feel at home. Every dish served was a true culinary masterpiece. It's evident that great care and thought goes into both the presentation and flavor of the dishes. The creations on our plates were not only visually appealing but also a delight for the taste buds. While the restaurant offers carefully selected paired drinks with each course, I found this personal touch not essential. The dishes themselves were so exquisite that the non-alcoholic beverages, while tasty on their own, didn't add significant value to the experience. The flavors of the dishes stood well on their own without this additional pairing. Overall, it was an evening to remember, and I look forward to experiencing this culinary adventure again soon. This restaurant is definitely worth revisiting! Sofie - Belgium

If you plan to visit this place, be prepared for this restaurant to blow your mind. Placed in the silent, unassuming back alley to the Westin, this restaurant is nothing of what you’d have an impression of as you walk into it. You are welcomed into the hands of their fantastic staff, who come around with smiles every time and care to check how you are feeling. It feels like you are dining and also constantly being hugged ❤️ We asked for the Magnificent Seven in all its glory and were totally blown away. Paired with the restaurant's non-alcoholic pairing, the flavors took our tastebuds for a ride. Overall, this place is perfect for a date or an intimate evening for someone close to you. I would certainly recommend that you arrive by 18:30 and be prepared to spend your evening here, blown away by the magic you see unfolding in front of you, course after course! A definite must-visit if Michelin is on your palette! ❤️ A special kudos to the staff for making our dinner an dining experience!

I had a wonderful time. The staff was really friendly and helpful, each dish was more beautiful than the other - as well as delicious - and the wine selection is on point. Plan to take your time and enjoy the experience!

Great traditional food, very good service and an authentic atmosphere. The only hair in the soup for me is that the establishment allows people to bring their dogs. While we were there a couple of them started to bark aggressively at each other. Recommended! PS: We came back a few days later to lunch again, because we liked the food, the service and the authenticity of the place so much. The second time we did not have a reservation, and the place was packed. But we were greeted very kindly and quickly given a table. Everything was as good as the first time around or even better as there were no dogs the second time.

A restaurant where you can enjoy German cuisine. The atmosphere in the back garden was nice and open, but it felt a bit cramped due to the number of tables. The waiter was very friendly, and I didn't experience any of the negative impressions mentioned in other reviews. The food was tasty, but not exceptionally delicious considering the price.

Really good evening at Bochardt. Our entire table ordered their gigantic wiener schnitzels, with potato salads and cucumber salads, a great authentic experience. The food was really tasty and generously portioned. Loved it, would love to return another time.

Service: I booked through The Fork, but the reservation was never recorded. A robotic woman at the front door bounced us to a man who sorted things out by assigning us a nice table. Nice waiters. Food: incredibly disappointing. The pumpkin soup was really watery, and Angus filet and schnitzel were ok-ish. Ambience: ultrabasic design and terrible lighting, the twilight atmosphere made me feel like lighting a bonfire in the middle of the restaurant! Long story short, for the exorbitant bill you pay here, in Berlin, I'd go somewhere else!

The food wasn't hot, our waiter was kinda rude and treated us as plebs (which I don't deny but we still paid for this lol). It was delicious though and the atmosphere was nice.

We stopped in for a snack and overall food was tasty and beer was flowing. Service was very friendly but a little slow at times. We ordered Hell and were also talked into getting the Octoberfest beer that was a little flat. I had better beer elsewhere during the weekend. We had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was great and also potato soup

We visited on a busy Sunday evening and the service / food were amazing. We had the Goulash and apple strudel, and it did not disappoint. Will certainly be back! Cheers to the wait staff who were especially patient with the long line and many people. Bell ring for kicking leg was a plus!

Every time me and my family come to Berlin, we always come to eat here. The place is cozy and authentic, the food is delicious in here! There is always plenty of people and no matter how many years have passed it’s great! Highly recommend!

I was hoping for more out of this one! I ordered a Brezel to start, which sadly never came, and our food came out before our drinks (which we ordered first). All of the dishes were good but I was a little bummed by the service and atmosphere, which was a little slammed with tourists, so I get it. I'd say come here for a great beer (which is their specialty) and a decent traditional German meal on the side. But there are better schnitzels and sausages in the area if you're looking for something cozier or tasty. The service was friendly though and we were overall happy we tried it out.

This restaurant offers a truly elegant atmosphere in a charming neighborhood. The food is exquisitely presented, and the service is impeccable, significantly enhancing the overall dining experience. The truffle pasta is rich, and beautifully balanced. Don't miss the crème brûlée; it's a must-have dessert. A splendid dining destination that promises an unforgettable experience!

Next to the Westin grand hotel. Nice lunch set menu. The service is friendly and attend to detail. The food is well prepared with freshness bread with different selection. Melon cold soup to open the taste buds. The cod fish is grilled and then baked with the right seasoning to reach the right tenderness. The service makes the overall experience nicely presented. With the espresso as the finale, The smile of the waitress also beautifully endorsed the Italian style of service. Well done!! 😉

The vibe of the restaurant is really nice, perfect for date night or a romantic dinner. The food, I find it quite average compare to the price. The ingredients are very fresh and top quality but the taste is quite generic, salty and nothing special. My spaghetti dish, the noodles are a little too firm to be al dente. In general, this place offers excellent service and good quality food but I just have a higher expectation when it comes to the taste especially for a restaurant like this.

Classic Italian restaurant. All are perfect, so I would recommend it.

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!

The staff were very nice. The food was unfortunately mid for the price. We ordered the schnitzel, which was pretty ok tho the potatoes on the side were bland as potatoes can be, and I got a mushroom risotto. It was so salty, almost inedible, not sure if it was just a one time fluke or if it's usually like that but I couldn't even taste anything but salt. It's a nice looking restaurant but there are better places to eat.

Very well located and delicious strudel. A bit pricey though. And they enploy a very rude toilet lady. I had to change my baby's nappy on the sink and was told to take my dirty nappy with me. When I asked where should I leave it she said outside, take it with you but don't leave it here. I complained to the manager but nothing further than a sorry happened.

So sad the Villa where the cafe was located closed last year. It was beloved by Berliners and had went there in 2022 on my first trip to the city. This location is great too. Just a walk away from the Brandenburg gate. The food was good. I had the classic Wien Schnitzel and we had some wine. The portion was huge! It was two slabs of porkchop. We also had some wine and I had the classic Sacher Torte.

Very cozy little restaurant with a great location. The service was good, the waiter gave some input on what was best from the menu, always appreciated. I tried the schnitzel, which was a solid 4/5, lacked a bit of taste, but had a fantastic crispy batter and still remained juicy inside. It came with a generous portion of salad and fries, which were both great. For dessert I has the strudel, which was also very tasty, with vanilla sauce, ice cream and regular cream. I absolutely recommend the place and would gladly come back to try the beer braised pork knuckle and some other delicacies.

My meat was cold, looks like heated in microwave or something, cold inside and cooked outside. The place had an amazing atmosphere. The waitress were nice and dressed in traditional german outfits. Beside the cold meat everything else was pretty good. The price was expensive for a cold meat. Around 70 euros for both of us. Overall not bad for one time experience.

The atmosphere was really nice, staff was helpful, patient and kind! We ordered the meatballs and schnitzel which both tasted great! Would come back next time we go to Berlin for sure!

After being inexplicably turned away from Borchardt despite plenty of empty tables, we hurriedly found this gem, where we ended up having a fantastic last meal in Berlin. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff kindly found us a table inside. Though service was slightly delayed, we settled in and ordered the Berliner Schinkeneisbein, Wiener Schnitzel, and Bierkutschergulasch. While the dishes didn’t boast the same depth of flavor or cooking techniques as those from Maximillian the night before, they were warm, hearty, and perfectly prepared, leaving a real lasting impression on us. The food’s simple yet satisfying nature made this final night in Berlin one to remember. What truly stood out, however, was the service. Both the server and manager showed a level of care and responsibility that we hadn’t experienced anywhere else during our time in the city. Their attentiveness, even in the midst of a hectic evening, was genuinely appreciated. I only wish every restaurant I visited had staff as thoughtful as those here!

Ordered the Nantes Filettopf, crispy pork knuckle with dark beer sauce, beer goulash, and three Pilsners. 87€ in total, including an 8% tip, which felt pretty reasonable. And they don’t “force” you to give tips👍🏻. So tips is up to u. The dishes were really good. In some other places I tried before, pork knuckle can be overly salty, but this one was perfectly seasoned and delicious. I also highly recommend the Nantes Filettopf—the mushroom sauce was amazing! Lastly, the newspaper-style menu is also fun😄

The meat options are great and delicious! I took the flanksteak medium-rare 350g and it was very juicy. The beer could be a bit colder. The 4 stars is because they made some mistakes eith the cooking level of the meat and prices, but I guess It's also because you are in one of the nicest areas of Berlin. The restaurant is quite cozy and the staff was very kind.

Really enjoyed it salad bar was fresh and steak cooked as I'd asked. Only loss of one point as they forgot my drink.

Had a 400g sirloin steak, it's good, but really too much for 1 person! Don't get more than 200g, or you get tired of chewing 😅

We ordered beef goulash, cheese nacho and 250 grams ribeye. Goulash soup, is not like a beef stewed and rich beef broth. It has tenderloin in the soup. Similarly with the nachos. Cheese is not melted but generous amount of tenderloin beef. 3 sauces are put in little saucer. Medium ribeye turned out to be medium well. Nice environment with open kitchen style. Waiter (Ming) is attentive although he is the only person covering the entire floor. What we don’t like about this place is the bar tender. As a tourist, asking for Wifi password is very common. To my surprise, the bartender stopped Ming from providing me the password. He claimed that when they share the wifi, it will disrupt their operation. Seriously?? Isn’t wifi is something very common? Not the expert that i enjoyed.

Very nice restaurant. Really pleasant, fresh, specious and beautiful interior. All meals were very tasty. Goat cheese salad was served with garlic bread, very delicious and fulfilling, as well as meat was very tasty. As a side salad to meat, you can choose and put the salad yourself from buffet. Good restaurant to eat in Gendarmenmarkt.

I had a generous portion of steak and marshmallow dessert. The steak was perfect. The marshmallows were good yet overly sweet. However, I've been waiting for my receipt for more than 10 minutes.
Oleg Smirnov - 7 months ago

Just keep walking. Absolutely horrible service. Food was cold. Items were missing from the plate. Drinks served after the meal arrived! And... it was not busy. Only positive thing I can say was the gravy was good, it was actually warmer then the pork.
