We indulged in the 5-course menu accompanied by wine pairings and had a delightful experience. The standout dish was undoubtedly the Parmesan dumpling, which we ordered as an extra. The service was exceptional.

In Berlin, there are so many nice places for dinner that it's difficult to stand out. The service was somewhat passive-aggressive. Out of the five people I had contact with, only three were genuinely kind. The food was okay; I only remember the red pepper dish being amazing, the rest were mediocre. I wouldn’t go back.

This was our second visit to Cookies and we loved it again. It is the best place to eat in Berlin. Lovely staff, amazing bread with vegan butter and a dinner that’s beyond comprehension, so good! A delightful experience. Also, this place has the best entrance! You’ll get it when you go there. Be sure to book a table in advance and ask for their wine suggestions.

It had been on my bucket list for a very long time to visit a fine dining restaurant, but since I'm vegan, my options are quite limited worldwide. Finally, in Berlin, this place was my immediate thought.
The place is extravagant in its own way. The interior is super simple, with no extraneous details. The music in the dining hall was a bit too loud, so I had to strain my voice every time I spoke to my partner.
Water is not complimentary, which may be a German custom. My belief is that when you're paying over 150€ per person, some still water could be offered as a courtesy.
The food was the star of the night, and as a vegan chef myself, I had high expectations. It did not disappoint. The presentation, plating, and flavors were spot on, and the dishes complemented each other perfectly.
We started with a Jerusalem artichoke tartare with tonburi and yuzu gel—a very fresh and appetite-inducing way to start.
Then we continued with the bell pepper tartare, which, for me, was the highlight of all the savory courses. The flavor was so intense yet gentle at the same time; it felt like I was tasting this everyday staple vegetable for the very first time. Each bite offered something new, whether it be a flavor note or a new texture.
Sometimes certain flavors were overpowering, like the verjus glaze on the celeriac.
The dish with beetroot, chicory, and shallot confit had all the elements playing and complementing each other well, even though I would have preferred the beetroot to be slightly more tender.
But the dessert was magnificent, with the combination of contrasting flavors, textures, and temperatures merging into a wonderful finale for the entire menu.
The service staff were very attentive and friendly, each with their own character and manner of interacting with guests. Due to a misunderstanding, instead of receiving two vegan menu versions, we received one dish that was vegetarian, which they handled gracefully by providing us with a discount, a replacement, and complimentary pralines.
Overall, I can rate my experience as meeting expectations (in a really good way because they were high). I highly recommend it for a special occasion.

The best place to try the Wiener Schnitzel. The portions were massive, you can share 1 for 2 people. I liked the veal, potato salad and the cranberry sauce. Passion martini was also good. The restaurant has a nice ambiance but tables are too close to each other and it can get loud sometimes.

We had an amazing dinner. This is my 3rd time visit to Borchardt. I love the Wiener schnitzel.They serve a homemade bread with a butter. Everything we tried is delicious .The atmosphere and the servise is really good. You must have a reservation. It’s always busy. Highly recommended.

A restaurant that everyone should go for either lunch, dinner, or both. Restaurant serves high quality German food, including vegetarian and vegan options. Everything we tried was amazing; they are also famous for their Schnitzel - and as per their webpage you can find some celebrities there. Service was excellent, we were very well looked after. Interieur is a bit outdated though.
kerstin abele - 4 months ago
Coming here you will definitely eat excellent schnitzel. Also, everything else we tried was equally good but the schnitzel is the one that stands out. The creme brulee we ate at the end was also very worthy. The staff was very kind and willing but because there were a lot of people the service was slow. The main negative of the shop was that there was a lot of fuss. Regarding the cost it could be a bit cheaper. For me it is worth giving it a chance especially for the schnitzel.

I thought the environment was beautiful. Next to the dome and in a very quiet neighborhood. But service was a little lacking and very pricey for not having much. We were looking forward to a German meal but the variety was limited. At the end of the meal the cost of the meal was way too much and the server put his own tip in before I could even put the tip in.

Traditional Bavarian inn. Great selection of dishes. As I work nearby, I often take something from the weekly changing lunch menu. Every day a vegetarian and a meat dish for €7.50. That's cheaper than my canteen. The prices are very fair, the food is prepared quickly and is very tasty. Card payment from €10 is also possible and I'm always served in a friendly manner. I like to come back. A clear recommendation ;)

If you want to experience typical German food and indulge yourself, go there! I was delighted to see older German people enjoying the food as well. It's a good sign when locals are fans too. Ah… DOM waiters ❤️🔥

Great authentic German food spot! We were shocked at how good it was and the price is very good as well! We were two people and shared the pork chuckle, pretzel, potato salad. The pork chuckle was so crispy and soft on the inside, portions were very big, we loved it!

The vibe of the restaurant is really nice, perfect for date night or a romantic dinner. The food, I find it quite average compare to the price. The ingredients are very fresh and top quality but the taste is quite generic, salty and nothing special. My spaghetti dish, the noodles are a little too firm to be al dente. In general, this place offers excellent service and good quality food but I just have a higher expectation when it comes to the taste especially for a restaurant like this.

Overall nice food but for a high end restaurant the service was let down by the following. One waitress dropped the knife on me. At the same time she spilled a bit of food on my expensive top.
Rather than hurrying to give me a bit of cloth to clean up, she was tidying up the rest of the table and picking up the cutlery from the floor instead as if nothing had happened. There was no sense of urgency or genuine apology. After waiting for a few minutes, I spoke to the manager to ask for some cloth to clean up with. Five minutes later, she finally came back with a wet cloth.
A different waiter told me that we could order half portions of pasta dishes. And so we ordered TAGLIOLINI NERI CON CRUDO DI TONNO, BURRATA E PISTACCHI. When the bill came, the price was definitely much more than the 50% of the menu price. I asked the waiter whether it was half the price and he said yes. I ended up paying anyway. I checked the bill later and it turned out to be much more than the 50% of the price. It's a bit misleading.
Don't believe when the waiter tells you that pasta portions can be served in half portions because in reality you end up with half the amount and instead pay about 70%.
We had the starters which were octopus and the tuna tagliolini. They were well made and tasty.
The main which was the monk fish was quite underwhelming and rather boring after a few bites. (The waiter recommended this dish)
So my overall experience is a mixture of good and bad.

The restaurant is located in a very nice area in Berlin, very central and well connected. The staff is very attentive and friendly, offering a very nice service. The food was very good, but the star of the show for me was the bread they serve with pasta. It’s simply fantastic.
Overall a nice experience and well recommended!

The staff were very nice. The food was unfortunately mid for the price. We ordered the schnitzel, which was pretty ok tho the potatoes on the side were bland as potatoes can be, and I got a mushroom risotto. It was so salty, almost inedible, not sure if it was just a one time fluke or if it's usually like that but I couldn't even taste anything but salt. It's a nice looking restaurant but there are better places to eat.

I ordered Sachertorte and Einspänner. Both were good, but I can't say I loved them. The concept of the place is nice. I liked the concept of most cafes and restaurants during my visit to Vienna, and since this was an Austrian restaurant, it gave me the same atmosphere. If I come again, I would like to try their food.

So sad the Villa where the cafe was located closed last year. It was beloved by Berliners and had went there in 2022 on my first trip to the city. This location is great too. Just a walk away from the Brandenburg gate. The food was good. I had the classic Wien Schnitzel and we had some wine. The portion was huge! It was two slabs of porkchop. We also had some wine and I had the classic Sacher Torte.

“Exclusive” environment. Professional staff and a lavish interior. Clean and hygienic bathroom, but a bit too strong faucets. Pricy but I guess you pay for the atmosphere. The hot chocolate costed 5.5€ (?) and exceeded expectations by a lot. Not only was is great, it was a lot. Since you got a little pot of the drink to pour into the cup, and then also add the cream, it just kept going. It could easily and comfortably be shared by 2 people and splitting that cost makes it one of the cheaper and best hot chocolates you can find in the café scene in Berlin. Very good. If you pair both a dessert and a drink it will run you from around 15-25€ with is a lot, but the portions are generous so having someone to share with will make this experience more cost worthy and enjoyable. Thanks and Hello.

Stopped in for a drink. Server was friendly and attentive. We sat outside, which was nothing overly special. Drinks were good. The restrooms were clean, but was odd/out of place to see an attendant outside with a tip jar, given there was nothing special about the facilities.

Satisfying German food and truly delicious. We had crispy pork knuckle with sauerkraut and bread dumpling, and 3 kinds of sausages - Charlottenburger Wurstparade with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Perfect order and amazing German food. The toilet facilities not to my liking though but overall, the food experience is good and authentic. Fast and attentive service, good restaurant location.

What a great place to eat some traditional German/Berlin food. The Service ist immaculate. They're really skilled at what they do, just like the chefs.
I had the best "Gulasch" I've ever had in this Restaurant right Here. I've eaten my fair share of Gulasch but this one was superb.
The Apfelstrudel as a dessert was wonderful, so wonderful in fact that we ordered it 3 Times :)
The menu cards are really fun, they are like a Journal with real Berlin slang to discover and translate haha.
Really great place and a must See If I might say so.

I loved this place and would recommend it to everyone thats in Berlin and wanting some good food, my meal was perfect and my friends was huge but also tasted amazing. The beers were very easy to drink, leading to a few more than i usually would. The service was spot on, our server was happy and very helpful. Thank you for a great meal.

Different pig knuckle in Berlin, the first time for us to eat a pig knuckle that is not crispy. It was a nice experience too. Different texture. Meat ball is no special. Salad with chicken is a very nice one. The staff was very nice and do have good memory. Love the style in Berlin that if you order tea, there is sugar provided. It means that Berliner like sweet hot tea without milk. 😊

Had a 400g sirloin steak, it's good, but really too much for 1 person!
Don't get more than 200g, or you get tired of chewing 😅

The meat options are great and delicious! I took the flanksteak medium-rare 350g and it was very juicy. The beer could be a bit colder. The 4 stars is because they made some mistakes eith the cooking level of the meat and prices, but I guess It's also because you are in one of the nicest areas of Berlin. The restaurant is quite cozy and the staff was very kind.

We ordered beef goulash, cheese nacho and 250 grams ribeye. Goulash soup, is not like a beef stewed and rich beef broth. It has tenderloin in the soup. Similarly with the nachos. Cheese is not melted but generous amount of tenderloin beef. 3 sauces are put in little saucer. Medium ribeye turned out to be medium well. Nice environment with open kitchen style. Waiter (Ming) is attentive although he is the only person covering the entire floor. What we don’t like about this place is the bar tender. As a tourist, asking for Wifi password is very common. To my surprise, the bartender stopped Ming from providing me the password. He claimed that when they share the wifi, it will disrupt their operation. Seriously?? Isn’t wifi is something very common? Not the expert that i enjoyed.

I had a generous portion of steak and marshmallow dessert. The steak was perfect. The marshmallows were good yet overly sweet. However, I've been waiting for my receipt for more than 10 minutes.

Excellent steak. I got the 250g fillet, medium well. It was the best steak ive had in at least a year!
Waiters were super professional and nice, but if you're sitting outside you have to wait for a long tome for any of them to check up on you, in case you need to order the bill or ask for an ashtray or something.
Highly recommend.

Really good steakhouse, the food was hot and on time.
The service was good, although too many tables for one waiter. The door was open most of the time, so it tended to be quite cold.
I like how you season your own steak with the flavoured salts. The steak wasn't cooked as ordered, but still really good.
Despite being a steak house it still had a good vegan option for my companion.
Overall, it was good value and the restaurant was in a good location. I would definitely recommend it.
