Walking past this Restaurant my first impression was tourist trap, but we were hungry. We we pleasantly surprised by the good value for money and the good quality food. The staff and service were also very good, which seems to be pretty much the norm in Berlin.

While in Berlin we only wanted German food. Came across this place while walking from Topography of Terrors toward the Brandenburg Gate. Cozy inside. Generous portions. Beautiful plates. The food was delicious. Cons: We found all the restaurants in Germany to have serious food servers. Not the most attentive. Also, while the food was great, it could have come to... More

Went there our first night for drinks, thought we'd try it the second night for dinner, we were brusquely and rudely turned away after approaching quietly to ask for a table for 6 people. Returned to ask if we could book for the next night and got loudly asked to leave, after asking quietly and calmly for a booking. Very... More

If you want good and not too expensive German oldstyle food in a cosy interior close to the city center, aim here. Great staff and great food in a remarkable combination. Plus a large beer menu.

Traditional German Restaurant with enormous portions. The Eisbein is perfect if you like that kind of traditional cooking.

My wife and I ate lunch here on a short visit to Berlin in February. Wanting somewhere to eat waiting for our registered time at the Reichstag, we came upon this delightful place just off Unter den Linden. It's a typical German Stube serving typical German fare with good draught beer. It wasn't busy when we arrived just before 1pm... More

Actually the food in this place is an average German and the place itself is nicely decorated (if you like German style). The herring plate (=maties) was very tasty. Schweins haxn was not good at all. Ratherrens pfanne was a large portion, but not that tasty. The prices are reasonable, but it was a pity that they tried to charge... More

We have been staying just around the corner so decided to call in for dinner. Great German food and the price was superb. Two mains and four different beers for on 35 euros. The portions are generous. I would highly recommend the pork schnitzel with buttered peas and fried potatoes. Superb service in both English and German.

Massive portions, friendly service, excellent beers, good atmosphere. The food wasnt spot-on (my Berlin meatball main was a bit dry) but it wasnt far off - it was a lot better than some of the tourist traps we visited - the cooking felt more homely. Recommended.
