Excellent French food worth waiting for!…read more After our visit to Sanssouci Palace at Potsdam, we came to this restaurant for dinner. Located with the Dutch quarter, this restaurant is within a short bus ride away from the Sanssouci Palace. This restaurant is small and most of the dining area is outdoor. Just like most European restaurants, the service seemed to be slow, and the waiters made no effort in explaining the menu. In addition, they didn't have a menu in English, so you would need a Google app to translate the menu on our own. For our large group of 8 people, we ordered the truffle pasta and the Coq Au Vin (chicken). The truffle pasta was excellent with tender homemade pasta and generous truffle. Other guests also loved their chicken entrees. For desserts, we had the creme brulee and molten chocolate cake. Both desserts had slight twists from the traditional versions, but they were outstanding on their own. Our bill for 8 came to 280 euro. The food was excellent, but the service was slow, and the waiters were not very attentive. Perhaps it is from a cultural experience in dining between the US and Europe. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Quality food with good service. Steak was very good. So was desert, chocolate mousse.read more

I was wrong there, but we walked across the street to this chic brasserie and I knew we would still have a lovely time. It didn't hurt that we were meeting up with German friends so they were able to find out about a special where schnitzel was served with white asparagus. I had a lovely local white Riesling with my meal, and the baked camembert came with a perfectly hot and crisp crust cracking open to amazing gooey cheese inside that paired so well with a dollop of lingonberries. My boo and I split the schnitzel plate, and they even portioned it for two which I found so thoughtful of the staff. The white asparagus, which is rare and painstakingly cultivated, wasn't something I've ever had back in the States so that was definitely special. Never mind that the weather made visiting Sanssouci Palace something of a bust, this will be my best memory of Potsdam until I manage to visit again in the summer!

Last time we came here we enjoyed the food so we thought we'd return…read more This time, we were greeted by an extremely rude waiter. We arrived right before they opened to ask whether we could make a reservation for later in the afternoon. We didn't even get to ask about the reservation--first thing we were told was that they are not open yet (no "hello", nothing). I responded, "yes, we know--we wanted to make a reservation for later if possible." Then we were told, "well, if you come later and all seats are taken, then you have bad luck." Ok, so am I to take away from this statement that they don't take reservations? If so, just say so... We returned half an hour later--of course, there were plenty of seats. We picked a table (as is customary in Germany) but my husband hadn't even sat down when the waiter walked over--again without saying hello--to yell at him that he "take his water bottle off the table". Again, we hadn't even taken a seat yet, and it's normal to carry a water bottle on a warm day. At this point, we didn't feel very welcome and just left to take our business somewhere else. I will also say that this was not a language problem. I am German, and this entire interaction with the waiter happened in German language.
