    spätzle with sausage and lentils
    Emily Z.

    Echoing another review, this place feels more of a local spot than a tourist highlight, but that was exactly what I wanted for dinner when I visited. The service is a bit slow, and the menu simple. We ordered the spatzle with lentils and sausage and vorspeisenteller (sample platter). For my palette, the spatzle was good but a bit plain and lacked seasoning. The sample platter was the better of the two, and I loved all the little bites with different flavors that I got from it. Overall, I think this restaurant makes for a great lowkey dinner.

    Sausage, lentils, egg noodles

    Clean and fun- Lentils were great. Nice basic German food. Felt authentic. Good alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink selection Had to chase the waiter a little, but he was nice. Did not take credit card.

    I loved the food here! My godparents are German, so I was told to try the schnitzel in Berlin. The schnitzel was great and the potato salad was to die for! My favorite! The restaurant itself is cute.

    Goat cheese, walnut and pear flatbread with sour cream sauce. Weird but tasty!

    Simple German-style food of really solid quality and a very pleasant atmosphere. We split a flatbread and the cheese spaetzle and definitely felt like we had plenty of food. The goat cheese, walnut and pear flatbread had this weird sour cream sauce rather than your more traditional flatbread format. It was very rich and strange but very tasty. We were a bit confused but happy! The cheese spaetzle was very flavorful with strong garlic and onions, while also being so cheesy and satisfying! Plus it comes with a nice side salad so you feel a little less guilty. Service was slow, but the atmosphere was great and we appreciated taking the time for a longer dinner experience. Just don't come here if you're in a hurry. It felt like a local place rather than for tourists.

    Came here yesterday for breakfast to start off a full day in Berlin. The place definitely has a European hipster vibe but I enjoyed it! Check out the interesting decorations around the restaurant. Options for breakfast were limited but delicious. They offer 3 different full breakfast options for 8.5 euro: a sweet, a cheese based and a mixed that comes with bread, muesli and an assortment of cheese and/or jam. Although it doesn't look particularly hearty, we were stuffed by the end. If you aren't as hungry they also had a la cart options like scrambled eggs. Also the server was very nice and welcoming and even gave us the lowdown on the traditional winter foods in Germany which is apparently goose, potato balls and cabbage? Hopefully we will get to try that by the end of the trip. This place is still cash only and also remember to add a 10% tip to the check.

    Went here for lunch today. I must say the food is absolutely amazing and trully authentic. Haven't had such a nice lunch for a long time. We ordered Schnitzel with potatoes cucumber salad and "Schäufle" with fried potatoes and Sauerkraut (cabbage) two very traditional dishes. Both meals were divine and to the point. We rounded the lunch with a nice desert up and ordered Kaiserschmarn. Wow. Regarding the service.. well.. that was the only part that was slightly disappointing because it was rather mediocre. They all seemed disinterested and that's a pity for a place with a great kitchen like this. But anyways. I can still recommend it.

    This place was amazing! Quirky and cute on the corner in the very hip Mitte neighborhood. We split the pear, goat cheese, and walnut flammkuchen (thin pizza) and the on recommendation from a fellow yelper, the Geschmeltze Maultaschen mit schwäbischem Kartoffelsalat. This was basically a little pasta square layered with deliciously flavorful meat and fried, paired with a cold potato salad that was very well done. Topped our meal off with the cheesecake on special, which was presented beautifully and had a variety of toppings (raspberry, apricot, walnut) to fit your tastes. I recommend this place for its ambiance, but especially for the taste!

    Spaetzle with cheese, yum!
    Cristina R.

    Very nice place with a really cozy feel to it and friendly staff. The food is very good as well! I had the spaetzle with cheese which came with a small side salad , and it was delicious, huge portion too! I couldn't even finish it! We also had a flammkuchen with bacon and onions to share and let me tell you, you absolutely have to get one, especially if you have never tried them! It was amazing! The staff is very attentive and they even helped me to choose a beer. The place has a black forest theme so there are antlers hanging on the walls, a coal stove in the middle of the room and the dark, wooden tables finish it off. Very nice meal for a very decent price and even tried a new snapps flavor!! ( marille, try it you will like it! ;) ) Also, I was so full I couldn't try the dessert but please have a Kaiserschmarrn and tell me how it is!!

    We went to a lot of restaurants in Berlin, but this was hands down one of my favorite ones. It was better than the Michelin star restaurants. We accidentally stumbled into here after a day of walking. To be honest, i can't even tell you what we had & with correct spelling. Get the fried pizza, the schnitzel, the cheese plate... all worth it.

    While in Berlin one must eat German food right? Well we went here and it was sooo great!!! Not only was the food authentic and filling, the atmosphere was very relaxed and the decorum was unique! Before this trip I never ate German food but if all German food tasted as good as this places I'd definitely eat it again and again! Service was great. Had an English version which was super helpful. All of the staff was super friendly and gave great recommendations! If you're in Berlin I suggest eating here!

    Since I've only been living in Berlin for three months I'm still investigating Berlin's restaurants trying to find favourites in the different styles of cuisine on offer, and Berlin has numerous to offer. Last night's experiment was German, and I headed to Schwarzwaldstuben just off Oranienburger Staße. Very much a bar come restaurant the place was very busy on this Tuesday evening so I guess it may be packed at the weekend. The menu arrived in German with English translation which is welcome for this Auslander still trying to improve his German. The waitress was very friendly and kindly informed me das ist zu viel when I over ordered. Despite my large appetite I (thankfully) listened to her and changed my starter to their mixed started, which offered me the proposition of a variety of tastes, just what I should have ordered in the first place. I followed this with a Schweinschnitzel (breaded pork escalope) and Bratkartoffeln (roasted potatoes with onions). Both dishes were extremely tasty and fortunately the restaurant wasn't too smoky so I was able to enjoy their taste to the full. At EUR21 for the meal, plus vodka and bitter lemon, the meal wasn't cheap by Berlin standards. However the food and the venue were more than good enough to make me want to go back and try venison goulash that I almost ordered.

    Visited as a family of four, we arrived at 6.30, with no reservation, it wasn't busy then but very busy when we left, most tables had reservation on them. Suggest calling ahead to book. Fabulous place, food amazing and very quick service. Atmosphere was relaxed. Child friendly.

    Fantastic local place to get some low-frills eats and beer! Very friendly staff who accommodated us…read morewithout a hitch. We came here after having been turned away by an Indonesian restaurant that was "full for the night". We are so glad that fate brought us here instead of that Indonesian restaurant!! What were we even thinking anyway -- forget the Indonesian food, get the local specialities!! Ordered the schnitzel as well as the meatballs and both were executed perfectly. Schnitzel was hot and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside -- not overly salty either. Meatballs were juicy and packed with flavor from the minced onions that they had mixed in. The beer (we ordered a Pilsner) was the best that we had tried in all of the Berlin and Dresden restaurants that we visited. I believe it is from some small private brewery affiliated with the restaurant somehow. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right, so definitely order the house beer. Super cozy seating (you'll probably be sharing a table with other guests) and packed all night long but amazing vibes and casual comfort food. Would come back if I ever visit Berlin again!

We tried to go to a nearby Greek place but they were full and kind of rude too. We walked over here and the place was empty at 6:30 pm so a bit worried. No need.

    German food can be hard to find in Berlin…read more You can find German food at Prater Garten. Prater Garten has a double distinction. Outdoors, it has the oldest biergarten in Berlin. Indoors, it has an upscale German restaurant of distinction. The biergarten is not my style. If I am going to spend all day sitting outside drinking beer, I want the location to be outstandingly beautiful. Prater Garten's Plain Jane courtyard doesn't cut it. The indoor restaurant though is a different story. This is the traditional German restaurant of your dreams. The Gaststatte was the culinary peak experience of a month of serious Berlin eating. * * * Prater Gaststatte looks just the way you would expect a German restaurant to look. Dark woods. Wainscotting. Cream walls. The menu for both food and drink are limited, although they do change seasonally. This means that they make the same dishes over and over and over again. They have brought them to a high level of perfection. They only serve three beers at Prater Gaststatte, beers they brew themselves. I have no doubt those beers are wonderful. However, Prater Gaststatte had the Holy Grail of what I had come to Germany looking for Artisanal German Schnapps and Artisanal German Distilled Spirits. Bars in Berlin just don't carry those. Prater Gaststatte had a curated selection of six. (Actually a curated selection of five. The sixth item was a traditional Czech rarity.) Indiana Jones had just found his treasure. German Spirits are strong. Judiciousness limited my consumption to three. I went with a Nordhauser Doppelkorn, a Dirker Hasselnussgeist and a Stahl Birnenschnaps. Doppelkorn is a German alternative to vodka. It is 76 proof, just slightly weaker than a traditional vodka. It can be made from any of five different grains, but the rye-malt combo is the most common. The Nordhauser is an eminently superior alt-vodka - consummately smooth yet full of taste. I could have done a string of those happily. The Dirker and Stahl were both schnapps: hazelnut and pear respectively. I have never had a beverage like the hazelnut schnapps. It was not a liqueur. It was a strong brandy. Nothing sweet or cloying here. It was commanding like a brandy but smooth like the Doppelkorn. The hazelnut taste was overwhelming. It was as baritone and nutty as an Amaretto. An utterly unforgettable beverage. I stuck my neck out by going with a pear brandy. Most pear brandies are awful. I had had one and only one in my life that was good, the Finnish product Xante. Nothing is as good as Xante. Xante tastes like the canned pears served in heaven. But the Stahl Birenschnapps impressed. Nothing cloying. A real fresh pear taste. I was a very happy guy. * * * Note that although my beverages were outstanding, The food was even better. Given the quality of my distilled spirits, that last sentence is saying quite a lot. Never mind the strawberries I had for dessert. It is the beginning of strawberry season in Germany, And my meal had been so substantial that anything other than fruit would have been a crime. Spring is asparagus season in Germany. German restaurants will have one third to one half of all the dishes be asparagus dishes. I ate my fair share of mediocre asparagus dishes elsewhere in Berlin. The cream of asparagus soup at Prater Gaststatte is utterly to die for. Nothing tastes more like asparagus than that cream soup. And good cream soups are one of the fundamental pleasures of life. However, the headliner act which blew me away was their Brandenburger Pork Chop. A Brandenburger Pork Chop is a thick double-cut pork chop. The only way to get a "good" pork chop in the United States is to go to a steak house and pay steak house prices. American steak houses typically cheat by cooking it in apple juice so the pork chop gets caramelized. You eat well, but you are still covering up a ho-hum pork chop. This was a we-don't-have-to-hide-under-anything superlative pork chop. Yes there was about a tablespoon of red cabbage on top of the pork chop. It was like a maraschino cherry on top of a huge slab of meat. That pork chop had nothing to apologize for. It was a magnificent piece of meat. Easily a third of it was outer fat - outer fat that had been broiled to perfection. The pork chop fat was the star ballerina. The pork chop meat was the male dancer holding up that ballerina in a romantic pas-de-deux. It was the absolutely perfect pairing. (Anyone who uses that pork chop and ballet to make a joke about "Swine Lake" will be thrown off Yelp permanently.) Suffice it to say, I liked the meat course. Accompanying that was the potatoes au gratin of your dreams, And the green beans with bacon of your dreams. I never wanted to wake up. * * * If you come to Berlin, Come to Prater. Skip the Biergarten. Eat at the Restaurant. Deutscheland, Deutscheland Uber Alles!

    Just noting that as of this review the hours are incorrect on Yelp so better check the website…read morebefore you go. It opens at noon, not 6pm on Saturdays. There are plenty of tables with communal seating. It wasn't super busy when I was there but admittedly the weather was pretty poor so I imagine it gets buzzier when the sun is out.

Overall, didn't wow me, but it was a nice stop and I'd recommend for someone wanting a chill biergarten to visit in Berlin.

The veal schnitzel and steak entrees were also delicious. My server spoke little English, so knowledge of German would be a plus if dining here.

Inside, the design leans toward a hybrid of a traditional German restaurant and modern luxury: dark woods, crisp table settings, and ambient lighting create an upscale but comfortable atmosphere suitable for all occasions ranging from date nights, celebratory dinners, or refined travel meals. The general vibe feels more sophisticated than casual tourist spots, with a bustling (yet not overwhelming) ambiance. Patrons range from international tourists to locals grabbing a drink after work, and a cosmopolitan mix of languages echoes throughout the space. After a 4-hour walking tour of Berlin, our group of eight was hungry for a hearty German meal. The same morning, we made a reservation for our party of 8 for 6:30pm later that night, and we appreciated the fact that the reservation process for large parties is easy and convenient. Additionally, When we arrived at the restaurant, we were immediately seated at a large table, and our waiter kindly directed us to a QR code with a translated English menu complete with pictures. The menu itself is extensive, with a range of options (from the more familiar pretzels and schnitzel to German classics like Pork Knuckle and Munich Bratwurst). Our server was charismatic and friendly, joking with us and guiding us through his favorites on the menu. When it came time to order, he asked us if we could order in the dishes' real German names (which we subsequently butchered), and he graciously corrected our pronunciation and explained any questions we had about some of the more traditional items. Some members of our party ordered their Ofenwarme Brezn mit Fassbutter (Pretzel with Warm Butter, €3,90): a generously-sized pillowy pretzel, generously salted and served with a creamy knob of decadent butter. For my entree, I selected the Halbe Haxe (€17.80), which is a half portion of crispy pork knuckle with Bavarian sauerkraut and a bread dumpling. For being a half portion, this dish was absolutely huge (with the bone, the knuckle was almost the size of my head!). The exterior skin had been wonderfully crisped up, almost like a German chicharron, whereas the interior was a mix of shreddable "pulled-pork"-like meat marbled with succulent fat, all served atop a rich, savory gravy. The Bavarian sauerkraut had a slight tang to contrast the decadence of the dish, and the bread dumpling was dense, yet soaked up the gravy perfectly. This was the tastiest dish I sampled during my time in Berlin, and certainly a great value as well. From asking my friends, other great plates included their Saftiger Schweinsbraten vom Schopf (€19.90 - a roast pork dish with bread dumplings, potato dumplings, gravy, and Bavarian sauerkraut; very similar to the Halbe Haxe but with what seemed like pork loin), 3 ECHTE Kalbsfleischpflanzer (€21.40 - three succulent veal meatballs with mashed potatoes, gravy, and buttered onions), and Handgeschabte Käsespätzle (€17.40 - homemade cheese noodles with mountain cheese and pear, topped with fried onions and served with a side salad; basically a bougee Bavarian mac and cheese, and a great vegetarian option). Two members of our party also ordered their Ausgezogener Apfelstrudel (€8.60), which was a sumptuous apple strudel with perfectly al-dente apples, flaky pastry, and warming spices, served with ice cream and a caramel-like sauce. In terms of price point, Maximilians sits in the moderate to premium range for Berlin restaurants: obviously pricier than your average beer hall or currywurst stand, but fitting for its polished service, urban location, elevated cuisine (with huge portions, might I add), as well as its large audience of tourists. If you're ever in the area, I would highly recommend Maximilians, and I'll certainly be back to sample some of their other colossal dishes!
