Zur Gerichtslaube

We really wanted to try real German cuisine. We had to wait for a table and our wine. The red wine was unpleasant. Our waitress was lovely, she smiled and had a small chat. The food was overpriced. The fish, chunky pieces of cod was fried moist and had reasonable taste. The bolied potatoes were buttery and well cooked. The pork knuckle was very tender thick slices of meat like a roast pork but soft. It came with mash. The atmosphere was lively. A tip was really expected, however we felt the service food and delay did not warrant a tip.

This place is superb. The food is proper German, tasty and served with care and love. Really lovely guys. I’d make CS a beeline to come back here next time I’m in Berlin

Great ambient and food was hearty. Wine and beer were of a high quality and the waitress were friendly and attentive. Catered well to one of our party members who has a lactose intolerance.

I recently visited this restaurant and overall had a very pleasant experience. The place itself is nice and quiet, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a meal. It felt like a good escape from the usual busy and noisy places, which I really appreciated. The food was another highlight — everything I tried was tasty and well-prepared. You can tell that they put effort into both the flavor and presentation. It’s always a great feeling when the food not only looks good but also tastes great, and this place definitely delivered on that. As for the service, I have no complaints at all. The staff were genuinely friendly, polite, and helpful throughout the entire visit. It’s clear they care about their guests and want to make sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of. The only downside for me was the lack of a designated smoking area. I ended up sitting near people who were smoking, and that part of the experience wasn’t so pleasant. It would really improve the atmosphere if there were a separate space for smokers, so non-smokers could enjoy their meals without the smell of smoke. That said, this is just one small issue in an otherwise very positive experience. I would still definitely recommend this restaurant to others. With great food, friendly service, and a peaceful setting, it’s worth a visit — especially if they address the smoking situation in the future.

I had one day to explore Berlin and this is where my traditional food search led me. It was exactly what I wanted. An atmosphere that felt authentic and amazing draft beer! The schnitzel was great and so was the asparagus! And…..when I walked in they were playing Frank Sinatra ‘I did it my way’ in German. What’s not to love? And…..the next two parties behind me were both German so I think I picked the right place. Highly recommend!
