*5/5 Stars* Cookies Cream exceeded all expectations! The 7-course vegetarian menu was a culinary masterpiece, with innovative dishes that delighted every sense. The wine pairing was exquisite, perfectly complementing each course. Michel, our waiter, was phenomenal - knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. His passion for the food and wine shone through, making the experience even more special. Returning to Cookies Cream was a thrill, and it lived up to its previous wonderful experiences. Can't wait to come back and indulge again!

I had an incredible experience with the 7-course tasting menu. Everything was prepared with great care, the food pairing was impeccable and the service and table service was very pleasant. If you want to have a memorable experience, go to Cookies Cream. It will definitely be a restaurant I will return to when I visit Berlin.

This hidden gem in the backyard offers a delightful dining experience. The service, atmosphere, and food selection, as well as the quality, are excellent. The welcoming vibe feels like sharing a meal with friends—no unnecessary frills or strict rules. It's truly a memorable event for dinner. Plus, an early-hour booking with a discount adds extra value to the experience.

We enjoyed our evening at Cookies Cream! The food, although vegetarian and none of us is actually vegetarian, was exciting and creative, with lots of intensity in taste. We didn’t miss meat one bit! :) The atmosphere was cool on one hand, as the restaurant is located in a big industrial building, on the other hand, the acoustics of the room made it difficult to have a conversation, and there’s not much privacy as it’s one big room filled with tables, placed very close to each other. The service was also rather impersonal and the waiters seemed to be running from one table to another as fast as they could. Overall, the restaurant has great food and the place has a cool artsy vibe, yet it’s not a cozy date-night restaurant.

Being a solo guest I was happily surprised by the way I was treated. I truly felt I hade the same - if not even better - service as the rest of the guest. I even recieved little gifts - a drink and a parmesan dumpling. The food was great in texture, and I think the flavours were pure and true to the dish ingredients. (I had the 7 dish tasting meny). The staff were very professional and efficient. I hope to return to Berlin in the future, and when I do I will come for a second bite. But until then - Thank you!

Consistently Excellent – A Berlin Classic Borchardt never disappoints. The food was outstanding as always—classic dishes executed perfectly, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was attentive and professional, and the staff made the experience even more enjoyable with their warmth and efficiency. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere makes it ideal for both special occasions and casual dinners. Whether you’re craving their legendary schnitzel or just a great glass of wine, Borchardt delivers. A true Berlin institution—always worth a visit!

Great food - the rest kind of sucked. We both had the schnitzel and agreed it was the best schnitzel we'd ever had. Unfortunately that's where the good points end. The whole restaurant is basically one big table - we were touching elbows with our neighbours. It is also impossible to have any kind of conversation as you can't even hear yourself think! Staff are just run off their feet so service is somewhat slow. All in all - definitely an experience, not necessarily a good one.

What a fun place to visit and take in the vibes. I came from New York for my birthday dinner and it was very appropriate for the occasion. The schnitzel is one of the best things I’ve eaten and I enjoyed it with a pornstar martini. Service was spotty but can be expected from a busy place. Environment is gorgeous and would love to go back

Good and tasty food but requires some fine tuning. Great cocktails! Especially the Negroni

We reserved 8 seats at 10:30pm but the restaurant is crowded. We have to wait around 15 mins to get table (although we reserved) we got the place downstair. Maybe it our fault that didn‘t expect that it gonna be like a club at downstair. The waiter didn’t mention it also. We checked the reviews and it looks like a dining restaurant, but it’s not. So if you want a place for talking and eating pleasantly - not dancing and all over with smoking, don‘t forget to reserve EG floor!! Moreover, we ordered Whiskey sour at the bar but one of them came with decorated fruit but two not, the bar was very busy and the bartender spoke with us not so nice. However, the waiter who took care of our table is nice. The food is ok, schnitzel is huge.

We found this restaurant while wandering through Berlin. We had been looking for a German restaurant to experience German food. Wow. We so so pleased with this restaurant. We shared a schnitzel with an extra side of sauerkraut followed by an apple strudel. The service was great and the food was way better than our expectations. The location was great for our tour through the sights of Berlin. If given the opportunity we would definitely eat there again.

Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt is a fantastic Bavarian restaurant with an unbeatable location overlooking the beautiful Konzerthaus at Gendarmenmarkt. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, making it a perfect place to enjoy hearty Bavarian cuisine. The potato soup was delicious—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The schnitzel was absolutely massive and perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy inside. Everything we tried was well-prepared and full of authentic taste. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was excellent. Whether you’re looking for a great meal, quality beer, or just a cozy spot to soak in the view, this place is a must-visit!

I was recommended this place by a friend who lives in Berlin, and it lived up to the hype!! Upon arrival, the atmoshphere was great, and we really felt the authentic German restaurant vibe we were promised. The staff were great and over the evening they gave us free schnapps. The food was also very good, and it was nice to be eating German food alongside Germans and not tourists.

A nice location with bar atmosphere. My friend and me came the place around 7pm, the hostess guided us find a table and then ordered the food. Everything is just normal. I ordered the pork shoulder and it’s really greasy for me and really large portion for two ppl at least. It’s quite noisy inside, but it’s like a bistro so it’s fine.

A good beer restaurant in traditional German-Bavarian style. We ordered a crispy pork knuckle with fried potatoes to share. The knuckle was exactly how I wanted it—really crispy and very tasty. The portion was huge, and the two of us barely managed to finish it. The draft beer was super fresh. I had a liter of light Augustiner and 0.5 of Edelstoff—both were excellent. My girlfriend had a Radler, and even though she normally doesn’t like beer, she was happy with it too. But there’s one thing that applies to many Berlin restaurants—the waitstaff expecting tips. I’ve never understood or accepted that. If I enjoy the service, I always tip voluntarily without being told. That’s the only reason my rating is 4.5 instead of 5.

It was one the best dinner with my husband! We had a wonderful time together in Bocca di Bacco! The staff is very friendly, helpful and always around. Our waiter Giovanni was amazing! Excellent service and attitude! The food itself is more than tasty! You really want to try as much as possible! We really had a feeling that we are in Italy!

The food was great and delicious however I was really disappointed with the waiter’s attitude and rude behaviour towards guests. I can’t believe such a rude person would be able to work in a fine dining restaurant like this and make all the chef effort pointless! Overall I didn’t enjoy my time in there although the food was brilliant just because of the waiter’s attitude!

Next to the Westin grand hotel. Nice lunch set menu. The service is friendly and attend to detail. The food is well prepared with freshness bread with different selection. Melon cold soup to open the taste buds. The cod fish is grilled and then baked with the right seasoning to reach the right tenderness. The service makes the overall experience nicely presented. With the espresso as the finale, The smile of the waitress also beautifully endorsed the Italian style of service. Well done!! 😉

Update: wow. Order the chicken thigh (Coscia d’anatra). It was just perfect. 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!

We were delighted that this wonderful restaurant that we visited in 2002 is still in Berlin. We went many years ago first for a drink and later with a large group. Very fond memories of the superb host and sommelier. They both make you feel so welcome even without a reservation. Great wine list with superb choices by the glass. We had a refined and hearty salad of rucola for our starter then the pappardelle with lamb sugo and the daily special of spaghetti with white truffle. Both dishes were divine (especially the truffles). We were so happy to get to see the sommelier again and thank him for his welcoming, kind treatment many years ago and delighted to see him again. We hope we get to visit Berlin sooner than later to get to go here again.

Very friendly and accommodating toward Americans! The vibe and atmosphere was similar to a diner, however, the food was of the highest quality and delicious. The Schnitzel was massive and tasty. The Goulash was surprisingly good, tender, and hearty. The bathrooms were clean and the service was excellent and very friendly. Never rushed or ignored. It’s walking distance from the gates, a very safe and authentic place for a meal in Berlin. Not very crowded and no reservations required.

This German cafe has the ambiance of a fine dining chain, but unfortunately, the food falls short. We tried the cream soup, which was delicious, but the accompanying bread was extremely dry. The Caesar salad, despite the staff’s commendable effort to accommodate our dietary needs (no cheese or vinegar), was overly saucy and unpleasantly watery. The Kaiserschmarrn was another letdown, far from the quality we expected. On the positive side, the staff were kind and attentive, and the restaurant’s toilet facilities were impeccably clean, with a dedicated cleaner maintaining them after each use (though tips are optional). While the service and cleanliness impressed, the overall food quality makes it hard to recommend this cafe.

A very convenient spot to have some drinks in spring or summer. This time I tried Wiener schnitzel and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was huge and the meat perfectly tender

WOW! you need to try thr scones, the Kaizershmaren (like a bread pudding. Realy tasty) and of course, the top notch shtrudel. With a great ginger tea it sure was one of the best time we had in berlin!

Central ubication and typical continental food. I ordered a vegetarian option that consisted of different breads and cheese. The service was polite, but they work slowly ( i don't know if it was a sporadic thing if it is usually like this), that's why I would recommend it go with time. Nonetheless, the caffe was elegant and charming, and I would definitely recommend it.

The food and the service were phenomenal. I had traditional sausage with cabbage, my husband had the soups and variety of sausages. We finished the dinner with a cup of three scoops of ice cream and apple strudel. Everything was just perfect. Our waiter spoke English and was very nice and attentive. Portions were good and the price were fair. We love this place and definitely will recommend.

The food and beverage menu alone is exceptional, offering a wide selection for both small and hearty appetites. The staff is very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I’ll be happy to return.

The food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. Service was quick, and we appreciated the chance to try some traditional local dishes. The interior was elegant with pleasant music, and there was plenty of outdoor seating. They also had a decent selection of local beers. Most German restaurants in the area are pricey, so I worried they might be tourist traps. But this one felt worth it. Overall, a great experience despite being a bit on the expensive side.

We came here for dinner without a reservation. Although there were no tables available inside, the waiter was very kind and did his best to arrange something for us. The restaurant was packed with tourists and had only a few staff on duty, but they were all very attentive. However, the manager, who was dressed in a suit, didn’t seem welcoming at all. We ordered the pork schnitzel, sausages, and two beers — everything was tasty. If you're planning to come with a large group, I recommend making a reservation.

Food was excellent. Very nice decor. But, sadly, a service theme we have seen throughout our travels over the past 10 days. This was the least service we have had and it was between a 2 and 3 star. Food was among the best German food we have had thus far. I really wanted to try the asparagus soup. Ordered it as soon as we sat down with a beer. Beer eventually arrived, soup ???

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.

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 😅
Houman - a year ago

Very nice restaurant. Really pleasant, fresh, specious and beautiful interior. All meals were very tasty. Goat cheese salad was served with garlic bread, very delicious and fulfilling, as well as meat was very tasty. As a side salad to meat, you can choose and put the salad yourself from buffet. Good restaurant to eat in Gendarmenmarkt.

Berlin, Berlin, Berlin! I never would have guessed that the best vietnamese food I have ever had would be here. Goes to show you that, once you leave America some food items are vastly superior! I have the #4 with Tofu ans my friend had the number #8 with Tofu . Seriously, that Curry was unreal!

I'm a bit shocked that the many applications from the previous owner, Intermezzo, have now been combined???? It's not right and deceives the guests! Not fair. Well, I can't agree with Mr. Gr.! I go there regularly during my break and have to ask for small portions (for noodles and rice), and the prices are cheap, even lunchtime prices, like everywhere else...fish and meat dishes are 7-8 euros. Anyone can see for themselves. Some people are just not fair in their ratings...sad. It's a nice cafeteria with a café feel...that's the impression I got from my colleagues and the company next door 😉 Google doesn't make it easy to update! Intermezzo-Berlin has been permanently closed since the end of 2023!!!! The current cafeteria has a different name! Maybe someone can change that.

A canteen that has only had a new operator since 2024. Unfortunately, the prices are slightly higher than other canteens in the area. The preparation of the food is also rather average. The meatballs with Balkan-style sauce were nothing more than frozen gypsy dumplings. Hardly anything is cooked fresh here. The staff changes frequently, but is usually quite friendly. The canteen is used by employees of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, but anyone can also access it from outside. Ministry employees receive a small discount. Otherwise, the canteen looks clean from the outside. But I've tried different dishes several times now and haven't really been convinced. Even though there are four different dishes every day, one of them is soup. Conclusion for me you can eat here, but you don't have to. It's enough to have a warm meal in a pinch.
