This restaurant is located in the Sofitel Kudam. I dined here twice during a recent 10-day stay in…read moreBerlin (and the Sofitel). I was also traveling alone and did not feel awkward about dining there alone. The menu is French with classic bistro option, but the hook here is that many of the entrees can be prepared either in the classic way or a modern interpretation. I had the filet one evening and a halibut option the next - both were outstanding. There was also a pate appetizer that was memorable for both its taste and presentation. The service was the best I had in Berlin - very personable and attentive.

I'd give 3.5 stars. The fish soup is tasty but in general everything is overpriced…read more There are two types of fish soup: 1) fish soup for 14€ that only consists of flavorful soup 2) fish soup for 32€ which is a normal portion for one person and contains different types of fish. Both are fresh and tasty but again for the portion sizes it's completely overpriced. Normally I expect a fish soup to be 5-7€ and the one with the fish to be around 15-18€ The flammkuchen was disappointing and also overpriced for 14€, you'll get better ones in berlin for 6-7€ elsewhere The steak was tender and flavorful but nothing special. All in all - good taste but overpriced!

From the owner: De maufel ist das erste und einzige Luxemburger Restaurant in Deutschland…read more Die Bistrot-Küche (bis 17:30 Uhr) bietet Luxemburger Spezialitäten an - "Kniddelen" (Spätzle-ähnliche Pasta) in unterschiedlicher Ausführung, verschiedene Flammkuchen, typische Salate und besondere Quiches (herzhafte Tartelettes). Highlights in der Karte sind die hausgemachten Pasteten und Terrinen! Es gibt täglich wechselnde Gerichte (Mittagstisch & Suppen) sowie außergewöhnliche Kuchen, Tartes und Crèmes in der Dessert-Theke. Am Abend ist eine anspruchsvollere französisch-luxemburgische Küche Programm (18:00-22:00 Uhr). Die kleine Abendkarte wechselt wöchentlich. Neben den bekannten Fisch- und Fleisch-Gerichten pflegt die Küche eine Reihe kulinarischer Besonderheiten, die man nur selten in gängigen Speisekarten findet - Innereien bspw. oder Sauerbraten vom Pferdefleisch, Zicklein-Braten und Ochsenbäckchen. Herausragend sind zudem die Luxemburger Weine und Crémants des Hauses!

My coworkers and I were so excited to find Vietnamese French restaurant in Berlin that actually…read moretasted good. Since our expectations were really low from several Vietnamese restaurants all over Germany, it was nice to walk into Madame Ngo. Before coming to the restaurant, we noticed that it was on Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant to try. We also noticed that there weren't reservations available online until the next day so we figured that we'd roll the dice and see how long the wait is. As a group we did not want to wait more than two hours in line when we walked in, the wait was only 15 to 20 minutes for a party of four. Score!! For the table, we ordered a papaya salad and summer rolls. The papaya salad had an interesting shredded beef jerky and several slivers of Thai red peppers on top that was a nice touch. The summer rolls were deep fried, but not greasy, and you wrap them on a bed of lettuce and herbs, which gives it a refreshing lighter taste. My main entrée was the fatty brisket pho. This was the highlight of the show. They provide you with a side of two lemon slices and extra Thai chilies. All of us at the table were so happy to find so much flavor and all of our dishes from this tiny hole in the wall in Berlin. We can't wait to return to try something new next time.

Charming and cozy interior, there is some connection to French actor Jean Paul Belmondo, whose…read morephotos were literally EVERYWHERE inside. No idea if he owned the place at one time or if this is just a love letter. ??? Service was fine, but not extremely attentive. Thankfully the place is small and we could flag them down if we needed something. Wines by the glass are limited but the one red was good. Honestly, however, feel like at least three or four options should be available. Food was a bit mixed. They do a nice table-side presentation for tartare and chateaubriand. We had a special foie gras ravoli that was loaded with black truffle, but was way too al dente and ultimately a disappointment. French Onion Soup was stellar. Tartare was good and accompanied by crispy onions. Steak was good, but chef really over-zealous with the salt. Portions were generous. Overall, it's good, but in our opinion, too pricey for return. Glad we tried it, but would look elsewhere in a future visit to Berlin.

This is a pretty good bistro with great authentic French food, especially their fish soup which is…read moreprobably the best I have had in Berlin. Note that there is nothing very fancy here as they don't do haute cuisine just good French country fare. Atmosphere is a little staid, but not unpleasant. There is a good and not too overpriced wine list which includes some pretty decent claret. Service is calm, polite and quite good. You should head here with business partners or friends to sample probably one of the better French country restaurants in Berlin.
