This is a review for the restaurant - not the biergarten…read more In Germany, food at biergartens is usually much worse than food in the associated restaurant - even if both are run by the same people. * * * There has been a management change at Zur Historischen Muhle which has made a very very significant difference. The Historic Mill Restaurant is the upscale destination restaurant at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. Sanssouci Palace is the German Answer to Versailles - the Palace built by Frederick the Great in the era of Absolutism. Frederick the Great had far better taste than did Louis the XIV. Louis the XIV just wanted the biggest palace possible. Many of his ministers, such as Fouquet, built far more beautiful palaces than Versailles, only on a smaller scale. Frederick who was a flutist and a composer oversaw the aesthetic development of Sanssouci. The palace and gardens are smaller, yet magnificently designed. The architecture, landscape architecture, and appointments are stunning. Symbolism and allegorical themes can be found throughout. This is an intellectual's palace the way that Wagner is an intellectual's opera. * * * Tourist attractions need places to eat - particularly when they are of the scale of imperial palaces with massive gardens. There are any number of snack bars around. These are as wretched as tourist snack bars are anywhere. The upscale restaurant, named after a nearly windmill that serviced the castle, is built in a stunning late nineteenth century garden house. More on the house later. For a long time, it was run by the Movenpick group. All signs are that they ran the mill as a tourist rip-off. Prices were astronomical. Service was abysmal. Some Yelpers complain that even the water was dubious. * * * The German government cleaned house. Zur Historische Muhle is now run by Arcona, a small hotel group on the Baltic coast, that specializes in boutique hotels and restaurants at resort locations. Prices are still sky high - but the intention is to provide a truly worthwhile destination experience. We spent over $100 euros for lunch for two with one alcoholic beverage and no dessert. But I would have to say that that lunch was outstanding. * * * German food is hard to find in the Berlin area. (Potsdam is for all intents and purposes a Berlin suburb the same way that Versailles is a Paris suburb.) But locations that serve international tourists will serve German food because that is what the tourists expect. The German food here is outstanding. I had a first rate plum brandy. (German plum brandy is not a true slivovitz such as is found in the former Yugoslavia. It does not have formaldehyde which gives slivovitz its distinctive bite, taste and awful health effects. You will live a lot longer drinking German plum brandy than you will drinking Croatian plum brandy.) I had a fine beef stock with fresh tomatoes and the super thin egg noodles Eastern Europeans use like fideo. The soup was lovely. The main course was a veal steak. You just don't see veal steak served in the United States. Germany has better veal than we have in the U.S. The steak was fine eating. A few parts could have used some pounding with a tenderizer hammer to deal with some toughness. But I am more concerned with flavor than tenderness in a steak. The veal tasted just great. The star of the plate was sauteed potatoes with sauteed micro-carrots and a micro-parsnip. The potatoes were served in massive quantity and were absolutely to die for. My wife got the funniest dish of the day and the best bargain at that. She ordered a sole meuniere. Normally, those of us used to British or French cooking expect a sole meuniere to be a breaded, sauteed fillet of sole. This was a breaded sauteed entire sole from head to tail. It was the size of a submarine sandwich. And she had a full complement of vegetable garnishes to go with it. My wife is usually not that much of a big eater. But she polished off that sole and the veggies quite happily. She gave her dish a big thumbs up. * * * What moved that lunch from 60 euros in value to over 100 euros in value was the room. Never mind being next to a castle and being able to comfortably stroll to the palace gate on time for one's entry slot. The room itself was charming enough that I could have made an afternoon just eating at the Historische Muhle. The room was a garden room with twenty foot ceilings and gazebo like windows looking at the scenery outside. We were eating in May when everything was lush and green. The effect was very much like being in a German impressionist painting. The look and feel was complete and total Max Liebermann. * * * Would I do this again? Absolutely! Would my banker let me do this again? Hell no. But Arcona has done the world a great service. If this is what Arcona provides for hotels and restaurants, I would happily stay in any of their establishments.

A pleasant sight to see…read more Our holiday visit to Europe took us to Potsdam today to see some great palaces. Tourists also must eat, and that took us to Movenpick over by the Schloss Sanssouci Palace. Once we found the restaurant and walked in we were shown to a table. It is a large bright place, or would have been bright if the day was not cloudy and rainy. Menus that included English descriptions were dropped off. I decided on Pasta Pilze, a mushroom and pasta dish with onions and topped with bacon. It was perfect for me today, good sized and I liked how it tasted. The bacon pieces really helped make this dish. While we waited for our food, we received bread and butter along with our drinks. That helped quench our thirst and hunger while we waited, but the wait wasn't long at about 12 minutes. During that time, I also took a look at their dessert menu. When people refer to food porn, these pictures would qualify. They were gorgeous photos of various ice cream offerings, art at its finest. After my pasta, I ordered what would be their banana split dessert, and while what I received did not look anything like the menu photo, as you can see from my photo it was definitely good enough to eat. We were quite pleased to see Movenpick, having fond memories of the restaurant chain from when we were on an overseas work assignment decades ago. This visit just added to those good rememberances.

Went here today to get a favorite: the gemuse puffer! I was talking with the cashier, who was young…read moreand really kind, and I was mid-sentence with my order when another woman that worked there came from the kitchen in the back and not only interrupted us (the cashier and I) and spoke over me, but she literally scoffed when I said that I was only interested in buying the puffer, not the whole salad offering (both are offered on the menu as separate items to order). Woah. What was most bothersome was that she spoke to the cashier in the most belittling way...Kiez Vegan has fresh, quick and delicious food for sure, but it made my friend and I so uncomfortable and sorry to see a cashier treated that way and to be regarded similarly. Not cool...

Disclaimer: I have only eaten here once and have only had one dish. On the other hand, if it wasn't…read moregood, why should I return to give this place another shot? The bottom line: the prices are low, but the food is pretty boring and dry. I had the potato (where?) and spinach Borek. The filling was OK, but very salty and lacked creativity in the choice of spices. The dough was heavy, dense and dry - more like bread than any borek I've ever had. I expected filo dough, but that might be specific to Greek borek. It was quite heavy and my biggest compliment is that it is very filling - especially considering the €3 price tag. If you need to pick up something vegan quickly on your way somewhere - this is a good option. Otherwise, I would recommend finding somewhere else to go - even at the cost of a higher cost.
