Hofbrau Munchen Berlin is a franchise chain restaurant. (Their franchises are all over the world.)…read moreMy husband and I were on a tour of Berlin, and our tour guide took us here for lunch. The menu listed foods such as potato soup, goulash, pretzel, salads, sausage, vegan meats, pork knuckles, schnitzel, roast pork, and meatloaf as well as drinks such as beers and wines. Unfortunately, because we were on a tour, we did not get to choose from the full menu and instead were served only potatoes, sausage, pork roast, and apple strudel. The foods tasted very good. I also drank a house wine. Our server did a good job. The store offered traditional costumes. The bathrooms were clean.

No debate as to where they came from... potatoes. Service is self order, get tray, find seat. Bus your dirty dishes. Although food quality was exceptional, (curry flavor augmented the wurst and it did not overpower the wurst), the flow to order, pick-up & bus was a bit chaotic. Trash receptacles were hard to locate and the place to order too far away from entry point with no clear signage leading to the right place. Fortunately you could eat inside or outside on the patio smack within Alexanderplatz which is a great location to people watch. Overall a good self serve experience as the food was worth the experience of getting food in a foreign country!

We knew we had to go at least once and I am so glad we did! We ordered via one of the kiosks and it was extremely easy to use with English as a language option. I ended up getting the classic poutine (with garlic fries and jalapenos added) and my husband got a vegan Instanbul street fries (with falafel instead of the chicken kebab). We very much enjoyed watching the staff work in the kitchen and I LOVE that they had vegetarian and vegan options. Vegetarian poutine is so rare that whenever I see it, I almost always get it! These fries did not disappoint - they were loaded! The gravy in the poutine had excellent flavor and the cheese curds were a little melty and super stretchy. They also piled high with the jalapenos! My husband loved his fries equally and I really liked the yogurt dip. I would definitely recommend this place.

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!

They were doing a meet and greet type of get together, so showed up a little earlier than us to grab some tables. The hubby and I had a dinner rez that night, so we had a drink before heading out. I had a beer. Someone had what I think was a spritz. Another friend grabbed a pretzel. This spot is really big. Fun vibe. Tho during that time, the world cup was happening and they made a choice not to show it. I get it, but it would have been cool to watch a game here. Fun place to grab a beer, sit outside, and catch up with friends. REVIEW #4092

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!
