Die Suppe war wunderbar frisch, geschmackvoll und lecker, sowie auch preiswert. Vor einige Tage, bestellte ich die Chicken Tikka Kokos-Suppe mit Jasmin Reis- war einfach prima.

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.

Disappointing. Stopped in here for dinner with friends while in town and had a meal. If you expect…read morethis to be real Vietnamese food, you will be sorely disappointed. This is best rendered as "Vietnamese inspired food made bland for German tastes," without the trouble of finding real ingredients. I had pho, the quintessential soup that Vietnam is known for. Their pho has only one broth and it's flavored with anise, lemongrass, ginger, etc, but it lacks the unctuous richness that simmering bones for days brings. It was watery and devoid of fat. The noodles were far from the thin vermicelli common to pho; they were rice noodles but flat like linguini. The beef was the real failure though. What was this stuff? I can't even identify it. Terrible. Pho is meant to be ordered with specific cuts of meat - smart, savvy people will want tendon or tripe in there. This place fails the basics of even having them. Then one who knows augments with rare brisket or flank, or fattier cuts or meatballs. Here your choice is beef. And some generic, completely flavorless cut at that. Finally, the failure of providing a heaping serving of fresh Vietnamese herbs and raw bean sprouts can it be overlooked. What was served had a paucity of veggies in the soup and nothing came cold, crisp, and fresh with the pho. Epic failure. Three stars only for the pleasant ambience and service. This is in no way a Vietnamese restaurant...it is a German cafe who maybe visited Vietnam on the internet. Sad.
