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.

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!

We had an enjoyable evening overall, with a lively and charismatic waiter who added a lot of energy to the experience. However, the service was inconsistent and didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the high price point. For instance, crumbs from the bread (served without plates) remained on the table throughout the meal, and our wine glasses were cleared while we were still working through the bottle. There were also moments where we felt overlooked, such as a 25-minute wait before being served at the start. To their credit, the waiter offered a few substitute dishes to make up for the delay, though I might have been disappointed if we’d paid for them outright. It almost felt like they were slightly understaffed. While the dishes were generally flavorful, some stood out more than others. The Parmesan dumplings, for example, were overly rich for my taste—one was plenty. That said, we appreciated the opportunity to try something different, particularly as this is a vegetarian fine dining restaurant. The setting was pleasant, and it’s clear they’re aiming to create a special experience and have talent and creativity. Ultimately, though, the meal didn’t feel worth the €400 price tag (for two, including a bottle of wine). While I don’t regret trying it, I wouldn’t strongly recommend it to friends or plan to return, which perhaps says it all. The concept has potential, but the execution fell short.

Classic Austrian cuisine. This biased reviewer thinks it's inevitably all better in Vienna, but it's still tasty / satisfying at this Berlin institution not far from Checkpoint Charlie and Unter den Linden. So busy / packed on a Thursday evening we had people knocking things on our table as they squeezed past getting to/from theirs. I also thought the Kartoffelsalat serving with the Schnitzel was a little stingy for the price-point - not to mention asking for tap water and getting a €9.50 bottle of still mineral water!

A proper German treat in the heart of Berlin! If you’re looking for a classic Wiener Schnitzel served on an amazing potato salad, this is a must! Service was impeccable and the food from start to finish was delicious!

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.

This is a must_visiting place in berlin…they are known for the classic Schnitzel…it was good..we ordered black angus fillet and it was ok…chicken ceaser salad was a good choice, too. The mousse chocolate was really worth it 👍🏻

One of the best experiences in Berlin. Great food. I recommend not to eat 2 days before. The most iconic thing was that the atmosphere was ideal and the people there were fantastic.

Called in here on my recent trip to Berlin. The atmosphere is busy, the beer is excellent, and the food is some of the best in Berlin. It wasn't ridiculous priced and thoroughly enjoyed my few hours here. It's definitely worth a look for the German beer and food experience..

you’re looking to experience authentic German cuisine and have a great time, head to this Bavarian Brauhaus. Centrally located, this charming restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu boasts a variety of traditional German dishes, all prepared with care and flavor. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this restaurant promises a memorable dining experience with its delicious food and welcoming ambiance. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Sometimes it’s better to reserve a table.

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.

It's a good restaurant in the centre of Berlin with a great vibe of German culture. The portions of food are good and service is great! You can enjoy the food with a wide selection of beers and other drinks!

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!! 😉

Update: wow. Order the chicken thigh (Coscia d’anatra). It was just perfect. The restaurant is located in a very nice area in Berlin, very central and well connected. The staff is very attentive and friendly, offering a very nice service. The food was very good, but the star of the show for me was the bread they serve with pasta. It’s simply fantastic. Overall a nice experience and well recommended!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is one of the restaurants I think everyone visiting Berlin should try. Steeped in German tradition. Everything about the restaurant is of the highest quality. The service, the beer, and the food were all excellent. This would make a great restaurant for trying local traditions either for lunch or that Berlin date night.
The wookie. - a month ago

Highly recommended if you're on a short trip to Berlin and want to sample German food. The menus are printed like a newspaper so thats a nice fun touch. Delicious weiner schnitzel and apple strudel. Lovely English friendly service. We even got treated to complimentary cherry wine and cheesecake in the end. Tipping is not the norm but but we were more than happy to do so here.

The Berliner Weiße with elderberry syrup is the most unique drink we have had. It was delicious along with all the food items. The service was also great with them recommending the right quantity of food for 2 of us. The Berlin style meatballs were excellent.

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.

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.

This is the best steak we've ever had. We had a Châteaubriant between two, a 180g filet for our youngest, and a 300g sirloin for the eldest. All of the sides, the sauces, and most importantly the steaks were incredible. The steaks were absolutely incredible and had very little sinew, with just the perfect amount of marbling to create tremendous flavour. We would absolutely return and could not recommend this enough. It trumps every steak restaurant we've ever been to in Germany, UK, US, France, Spain, or elsewhere. They also accommodated rare steaks and brought a hot stone out for finishing which is rare (no pun intended) for steaks in Germany. Well done MAREDO... you've set a very high bar!

I love the chain of Maredo and love that specific one. They let me in late when the kitchen almost closed. I loved the food and the place. Editing: November 2024 visit. Disappointing service. The worst is the prices that became so expensive. The goulash soup was very small. About one third of what I expected. The chain seems to change its direction and I will stay away as well.

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.
