It's no place you'd necessarily expect in Blankenese with its reputation for whitewashed villas,…read moreriver vistas and unfair share of German-made SUVs: even after a change in ownership, Stern ("star") has remained the cheap local football sports bar. Its simple interior and thoughtless lighting gives it that definite 'Kneipe' feel. Beers are cheaper than elsewhere around, and smoking is explicitly allowed after 6pm (which means they aren't allowed to serve their cakes thereafter). I'd give it 4**** but dislike coming home smelling like an ashtray as if it was 1999. Consider yourself warned, I expect them to stick with the niche they found: At Café Stern you'll always have smoking and drinking company when watching the Bundesliga.

Zudem nehmen wir immer auch ausgewählte saisonale Gerichte mit auf unsere wechselnde Wochenkarte. Cocktails ganz groß - über 60 Varianten werden an der Bar gemixt.

Zu einem ausgewogenen Potpourri aus gutem Gin, Whisk(e)y, Cognac und Rum gesellen sich weitere hochkarätige Spirituosen.

A lot of different options from fish, pasta, meat, etc. For starter, they gave us bread with a mayo sauce that was good. We had a starter and thought we ordered tomatoes/cheese on bread. Ended up with a caprese salad. Language issue - whoops. Still like the salad! Husband had the scampi arabiata -- several big shrimp, it has a nice red sauce (slightly spicy) and came with a salad, and roasted rosemary potatoes (pretty good). I had the fried chicken liver salad. There was really no batter but it had some kind of marinade that was good. Ate it up! 2 kids had a margherita pizza each. They ate most of it. 4 options on kids menu! Overall meal was 68 Euros. No credit card. Staff was friendly, tried to use English. We had to wave her down a few times for the bill. The ambiance was a little dark. At night there wasn't a lot of people on a Sunday. We have driven by it during Sunday brunch and it was slammed. We'll be back...
