This German restaurant is one of the few in the Northern part outside of Berlin that specialize on wild boar, deer, duck, goose, and fish dishes. LOCATION: 4 stars The restaurant is located right next to lake Gorinsee. Nice views (see pictures) included. You can also walk around the lake and through the forest which will take you about 30-40 minutes. In the summer there are several small beaches, mostly crowded though. FOOD: 3 stars We went for the Christmas menu and ordered Wildschweinfilet mit Klößen (wild boar with dumplings), Gänsekäule (leg of goose), and Zanderfilet (pike-perch filet with potatoes). All dishes came with traditional red and green cabbage on the side. The meat was super soft and tasty, so were the potatoes and the dill sauce for the fish. 18.90 for the main dish was a bit pricey though. As a starter we got the Pilzsuppe (mushroom soup), which to my surprise was watery and had bacon in it, hence a strong taste of pork, which I disliked. Dessert was okay - vanilla ice with hot cranberries, a nice and refreshing combination. AMBIENTE: 2 stars As it was pointed out in the German reviews, if you're seated in the Wintergarten it doesn't really feel like a restaurant, more like you're sitting in a train station. It looks like most seats are not in the actual restaurant but in the attached Wintergarten, so chances are high you end up there. Sit inside if you can. If you plan on driving up North out of Berlin for some meat dishes you might also want to try the restaurant Waldschänke am Rahmersee - similar concept but better atmosphere. read more
