This was one of the most delicious restaurant experiences I've enjoyed in my life.
It was the first time my girlfriend & I have ever been to Berlin, and a friend who lives there treated us to one of the best dining experiences ever. First of all, the location is gorgeous. It's at Holzmarkt 25 which is such a beautiful and artistic and joyous space. So different to anything I've seen in the States. I strongly recommend going to Katerschmaus, but get there early and just hang out for a while by the river, taking in the wonderful creative and beautiful atmosphere.
The three of us shared everything: the baby leaf salad, tuna tartare, truffled potato mousseline, wild broccoli, and Selpin catfish in a banana leaf, and for dessert since we couldn't decide, we had both mousse au chocolate (with fermented pepper, which I had for the first time) and Crème Brûlée. Every single bite was better than the last. I can't say anything other than Go! Try everything!
The restaurant is right on the water. It's is cosy and beautiful. The creative food fits right in with the vibe - but it's so fancy, and so delicious it's almost amazing that it melds together so well. read more
