Erika's Eck

Was maybe going to be 4 stars, but then I ate the German potatoes and they were 7 stars so averages out to 5. Busy place, needs more staff to keep up with demand. We were there on a Monday evening and just two staff members who literally didn't stop moving the entire time, clearly struggling to keep up with the orders. But they were very helpful despite us being just English speakers, and the food was delicious. Skip the roast beef, but definitely get the schnitzel. A neighboring table ordered a steak which looked fantastic, too. And do not skip the German potatoes (Bratkartoffeln)!

Erikas Eck, a Cozy Schnitzel Spot in Lively Schanzenviertel Lively Schanzenviertel is a tiny district brimming with cozy bars, vintage shops, and international restaurants set in colorful buildings. While walking and wandering through the area, I noticed a restaurant sign with a simple, small entrance door. Behind this unassuming door lies an establishment dedicated to schnitzels. The menu offers a variety of options, including pork schnitzel with different sauces, turkey schnitzel, and cordon bleu. Each dish features a very large schnitzel served atop fried potatoes with onions and pork ham cubes—delicious and generously portioned. Additionally, we tried the goulash soup, a creamy and flavorful dish packed with vegetables and tender chunks of meat, perfectly seasoned with paprika. The portion was satisfying, and the taste was excellent. The service was very friendly and helpful, adding to the pleasant experience. This is a great place that, if given the chance, I would happily visit again!

Very authentic dishes here! A local told us to try it! So if you’re looking for German foods it’s a must! And it’s one place around town that is open late!

I'm visiting from Australia and I went to Ericka's Eck last night and it was amazing! I ordered a Wien schnitzel and it's the biggest schnitzel that I've ever seen!! It was delicious. I discovered this restaurant thanks to their Instagram video about rasierte Ärschlocher. 😂 10/10 would go again.

Huge schnitzels - but really the food is not the star here. It’s a dive bar time pocket that’s definitely out of the ordinary - or maybe the essence of ordinary 🤷‍♂️ either way totally worth a visit 🤘
