    Schnitzel "Wiener Art" vom Schwein mit Zitrone und Preiselbeeren
    Emily K.

    So glad we went for a short walk while waiting for our train. We arrived around 4.30 and got right in with no wait. Great food and a cool location along the canal in Berlin. Good beer and good service. Both the schnitzel and käsespätzle were delicious!

    Popular local and tourist stomping ground; they have both indoor restaurant seating and a large outdoor beer garden served in a cafeteria style where you go up and order and pay at a counter then find a seat. Food was fresh and they had huge beer casks in the back so all the drinks were fresh. Pork knuckle (5/5) - Skin crisp and meat was pull-off-the-bone soft. Augustiner Brau lagerbier hell (5/5) - My new favorite beer. Mild, creamy, and refreshing.

    We came on a Tuesday evening for dinner. There were plenty to seats just after 6pm and we were seated right away. The outdoor setting was great. The service was efficient and food came out pretty quickly too. The pork knuckle was filling and delicious. The crackling was so good. There was so much meat the sauerkraut and potato dumplings were almost untouched. The pork schnitzel was so tasty. The leaves that came with it was a tad bitter but went well with the chanterelles a la creme. The crispy potato dumplings were very tasty as well. The VAT was higher than a few of the places we've been to at 18% Nevertheless the food was great!

    The sun high above us, the river and boats flowing beneath - Zollpackhof called us gently to its garden for the heavenly in between. Is this poetic nonsense necessary you think? YES IT IS. Because this place feels like a dream come true. The whole place is charming - the darling architecture, the beautiful shady tree, the sizzling sausages outside, friendly service, and the never ending flow of beer. This place had it all. We truly enjoyed our afternoon here and were heartbroken to leave it. I still miss it.

    This was my second visit to Zollpackhof. It was absolutely delicious, but I would recommend visiting in the late Fall/ early Winter if you can. The first time we visited was in November and it was very slow but the service was amazing. This time we visited in mid-May and it was packed and the service was not the best. My meal was the Austrian Schnitzel and it was as big as my arm! It was the best I've ever tasted! The restaurant is definitely in the pricey side, but completely worth it! If you are visiting Germany, go here!!

    Food!

    I got here with my partner and our friends, we have been this area couple times, but somehow we didn't noticed this Biergarten till recently, my partner went with his colleague. He find it nice, so we all decided to come and try it out ourselves. First, I really like the location here. Although it's close to the tourist attractions, it's quite peaceful this place, The river Spree just couple steps away. some tour boats come by time to time, which quite a lovely view. Zollpackhof itself is really big, we were sitting the seats outside, it was a lovely day and the atmosphere was really great. I also have quick look of the restaurant inside, it also looked nice. About the food, I ordered Knusprige Schweinshaxe and for me it taste alright, one of friend and I both ordered this, we both found the sauce didn't take so much for us. the Schweinshaxe was quite crispy and good. But compared with some other place I have been, somehow it just lacked off something. It probably tasted a bit different since I was drinking weißbier dunkel. Funny thing is at the end we all weren't really convicted by the food here, even we ordered different dishes, sadly. Friends of our were quite surprised with the price of the beers they ordered, well, it was quite pricey though. I do like the environment here, the staff was friendly as well. And cool place to hang out with a group.

    It's a gorgeous building and I imagine in the summer with the beer garden it would be a great place for a drink. The food however is not great. My tomato consommé was great but the main course was bland and lacked flavour considering it was a Schwinebraten mit sauerkraut and dumplings. Will come back here for a drink in the summer but eat elsewhere.

    Nice biergarten right next to the central station and overlooking the kanal. Very friendly staff serving the best Bavarian beer.

    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. The draft Pilsner was very excellent and the food was outstanding and reasonably priced. We got pork schnitzel and meatballs and it was really very tasty. Would recommend!

    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. I ordered a beer, some sauerkraut and a pretzel. Beer was nice, as was the food. Pretzel seemed stale upon initial inspection but was actually pretty good. They have mustard on the side. 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 asparagus came with a great butter and breadcrumbs sauce which drizzled on the potatoes was amazing. As silly as it sounds the boiled potatoes were the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked through but not mushy and they kept their shape. Pretzel was excellent as was the pork schnitzel, pounded thin and perfectly fried. We finished with apple strudel with ice cream, which was just ok, maybe a 3 for me. The waitress was quite surly and we had to chase her down to order after sitting there for 15 minutes without anyone coming to the table. That was the only real downside, though I noticed other tables were getting served quickly, so maybe it's a one-off thing only.

Walking in the door gives you the feeling of dining in a Bavarian beer hall where there are plenty of locals enjoying the atmosphere. For us tourists, photos are included for most of the menu selections. I tried their signature dish: knuckle with cabbage and a potato dumpling. Even the half portion was huge! 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. The restaurant seems to be known for their beer and has quite a selection, however, a smaller wine menu is also available. I would definitely recommend making a reservation or coming early. As my friends and I were leaving, the line for entry was out the door.
