I was an American looking for Bavarian food in Berlin. Not necessarily easy. Found this incredible…read moreand authentic Bavarian and Austrian restaurant and it was amazing. When I say authentic, the menus are primarily in German, there are trophy heads on the walls, and you can find mostly German families dining. Our waiter was a nice young gentleman who waited on us promptly and was helpful with translating the menu. My daughter and I wanted comfort food and our flavorful choices wrapped us in a warm German blanket. We shared the veal Wiener Schnitzel with Spargel. And although everything was perfect, the Spargel is not to be missed. We also had Käseknödel which is a dense dumpling in butter sauce. It came with a sauerkraut salad which, when the waiter set it down said "Welcome to Germany". Very funny. A delicious experience and worth the travel.

Bad service, the woman who waited us were very slow, not listening to what we were asking and then…read morelater she was complaining about how small our tip were. She ruined our evening. Food was good but I'm not sure we'll be back...

So we tried the Schnitzel veal and Beef Ghoulash. Schnitzel is basically thinly sliced beef, breaded and fried. It wasn't tasty, kinda bland with a side of mashed potatoes. The Ghoulash is similar to a beef pot roast, with a dumpling. BTW this dumpling is different from what I was accustomed to ie in dimsum places. This dumpling is like a big meatball but made of flour. We finished with apple streudel. We were hesitant to try these dishes since we came, but as the saying goes "You gotta try everything once, especially since we're in Germany" Service was friendly and fast, will we try it again? Probably not.

I'm certainly no expert on Austrian or German cuisine, but what I've been told is that they are fairly similar. That was our finding on going to Austria. We had schnitzel, kspatzel, some lovely German beers, and the number of desserts that it incorporated rhubarb. The place has a very German/Austrian vibe with a lot of dark tone wood, a number of taxidermy animal heads, and some pretty intricate woodwork. They were able to serve our party of eight very quickly, and made for a very enjoyable and comfortable dinner, as we ended up staying there for about 2 1/2 hours. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. There's also a very nice park outside. It was nice to let the kids go run around while we were waiting for the food! The servers were very attentive and took good care of us. I have no idea about other Austrian options in the area, but if you're looking for something classic, this place is one you should check out.

I had the fried chicken with perhaps the greatest pan fried potatoes I've ever had. The rest of the table had the small schnitzel which looked great. The dessert however stole the show. I know it's all messed up but I think it's called Kaiserschwsrmen. Sooooooo good! I'd be back in a hot minute. Oh and have schnapps!!!

4.5 stars! Ottenthal was one of the restaurants I discovered while in Berlin. In particular, what…read morecaught my attention was the fact that it offered, by far, the best schnitzel in Berlin! So, given I was in Germany..and even though I never really dream of eating schnitzel days and nights, I had to stop by this place! I particularly liked that the restaurant offered pretty much very natural/no chemicals food. Everything was fresh and, shall I say, natural/organic...and they were committed to those types of ingredients. I also liked that despite a higher price point than most restaurants in Berlin, the staff were polite, friendly and relatable..and not a stucked up place at all! Now, when it came to the food, I loved all my dishes! The pumpkin soup was so fresh and Devine! The schnitzel..wow..shall I say, crisp and thin..and not oily at all! Eating it together with the side potato salad that was a lil sour and sweet made it a good combination without additional condiments for sure! Lastly, the Baumkuchen was wonderful! I had so much food that night that I ended up having to order Baumkuchen to go..and I was not disappointed at all! Good to try all the good things while in Berlin! Overall, I highly recommend Ottenthal! Sure, as the name suggested, Ottenthal is Austrian town..but hey..schnitzel can also be German! Go try it and you'd taste the differences between this vs other places! Just some minor half star off was due to price (it's slightly high compared to other options out there in Berlin for sure.but hey..tasted sehr gut!!), restrooms are down a set of stairs (pretty common for German restaurants..but I have no ideas how Germany deals with accessibility for disabled population!) and finally..the place is rather small..so make sure to make some reservations so you won't be disappointed if you showed up but couldn't get in!
