Ephraims

We were pleasantly surprised to see the menu in several languages, such as English, German, Russian, and French. We were also pleasantly surprised by the prices. The food was very tasty, the meat was excellent. We also ordered beer, which was very fresh. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, and the staff were very friendly.

We were just out for a relaxed Sunday evening stroll, not looking for anything major — just a decent bite before calling it a day. From the bridge, we spotted this cozy little place right by the water and were immediately drawn in by the menu, especially the solid vegetarian options. That alone felt like a good sign — and it was. My partner went for the celery schnitzel, and it turned out to be a total win: flavorful, well-balanced, and — most importantly — not one of those lazy, thrown-together “token veggie” dishes. You could actually tell someone gave a damn. I went for the big salad plate with chicken and homemade cocktail sauce — simple, tasty, just right. We shared a small plate of pickled cucumbers with pork lard on the side, which added a rustic note to the whole experience. The service? Friendly, low-key, and exactly how it should be. With the salad, the schnitzel, the shared starter, one big bottle of water, and a small beer, we hit exactly €50 including tip — and that’s smack in the heart of Berlin-Mitte. Fair price for a solid dinner. The rest of the menu had plenty of regional classics too — this is the kind of place you can come back to regularly when you’re in the mood for tradition done right.

Great staff, tasty food, reasonable prices. Nice little local place that feels like grandma's house on the inside. Charming atmosphere! I had the lamb shank, shandy beer with cola, and apple strudel to finish.

Just touched down in Berlin and googled for a decent breakfast/lunch, and was not disappointed! When walking in, it felt like we were in a top end restaurant during the 50s, very old fashioned but in a beautiful way! The food was excellent... I've had Schnitzels all over London, but can finally say I've had a proper German Schnitzel! Service was top class and desserts to die for... will be back!

The atmosphere is really unique. Quiet, romantic setting but also good for groups. A lot of reference to the history of the place which is really interesting. Food was very good, very traditional and filling.
