Absolutely loved my experience at Cookies Cream, dishes were surprising (in the best way) and full of flavours. Crazy how they can make mushroom feel meaty and expensive. The staff was also very helpful, and they make amazing cocktails. Would come back for a special occasion.

We had so much fun! I highly recommend the wine pairing. I am sober and was thrilled to see that they had a full non-alcoholic wine pairing (which included many homemade NA wines). It was an absolutely beautiful and delicious dinner. The service was top notch and the atmosphere reminded me of a NY speakeasy as we arrived at the bar. The upstairs dining area was much more vibrant and festive. Everyone seemed to be smiling and enjoying themselves. All of my dinner companions were not vegan/veg but raved about the whole dining experience. Being a vegan and sharing such a lovely experience with them felt amazing. 10/10 will go again!

Vegetarian tasting menu and non alcoholic drinks flight for me this time. The food was sensational and the pairings were perfection. The service was excellent and the place had a great vibe. Fantastic team. Get a taxi there as the door is not obvious!

*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!

Highly recommend. It was lovely. A little tricky to find - but follow the alley next to the Westin Hotel. We could only get a reservation at short notice for 4 courses so didn’t get to taste the 7 courses but it was greys nonetheless. Lots of great plant based tastes. Felt wines weren’t that good but still quite decent so perhaps opt for the sommerlier’s wine pairing. Great service with a smile and would like to come back for 7 courses!

We made a reservation at this German restaurant for lunch. The service was okay, but our main dishes were left out initially. The tartar and schnitzel were delicious, and the portions were generous. However, the seasonal menu of the deer was average.

Borchardt is an exceptional place to celebrate special occasions or have a date. Perfect german food, made of high-quality ingredients, in combination with sweet cocktail and freshly-made bread will gift you one of the best gastronomical experiences of your whole life. Atmosphere is quite fancy, and the food prices are higher than in ordinary places in Berlin, and it is totally justified, given the history of the place and the level of service. And all I would say — it is definitely worth every spent euro! I would like to visit this place one more time (or ten times more) Would definitely recommend! P.s. highly recommend to book a table in advance

Borchardt is a true Berlin classic! We had the Wiener Schnitzel – golden, crispy, and absolutely delicious – and the steak tartare, which had a fresh and original flavor. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening. Prices are a bit high, but for the taste and experience, it’s definitely worth it!

Really tasty dishes, although the EUR 14 truffle extra didn’t add any flavor, and the service took a bit to warm up. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the meal.

Traditional german restaurant. Service was very nice. I had the famous veal schnitzel, with cranberries and hot potato salad. Prices on the higher end, but worth every euro.

We were super happy to find this traditional informal beer hall. It was exactly what I was looking for in Berlin - lively recorded German music, good beer, decent goulash and beef consommé and moderate pricing. However, when we went back the second time, the waitress chose the tip percentage for me which I did not appreciate. I felt taken advantage of due to the language barrier.

This is my 3rd time dining here in this restaurant. Visited today evening for dinner around 6.30pm (10th Nov 2025) I must agree that the food is super authentic and delicious. However service is horrendous. We were very unfortunate to be served by the manager of the restaurant (a tall big guy with glasses). When we gave our order, we said we will share our roasted pork knuckle because the serving is way too big for one person. He then replied "if you need extra plate and cutleries we will charge you extra 7.50 Euro". I explained to him that we do not need to have extra plate or cutleries because we both can share the dish and use the same cutleries. He looked at us with a discriminative facial expression. He could have just acknowledge my request and move on. Why would I pay you additional 7.50 Euro for extra plate and cutleries AUGUSTINER????? This represent your greediness in money making business. It doesn't make sense at all ...! I ordered extra maiyonnes on the side and it didn't come until I reminded a waiter and the manager brought the item to our table without basic manners of saying "sorry for the delay" and threw the sauce on our table. How despicable of him being in customer service industry! Before I pay my bill, I informed another staff to get me the supervisor or manager because I would like to have a word with him/her and to my surprise, the guy I despise was the manager. I told him that I did not enjoy his hospitality and service at all. I shut him off immediately because I cannot bare to speak to and look at a person who doesn't value his customers. He then said "WHY DO YOU LOOK FOR ME IF YOU DONT WANT TO TALK TO ME?". I replied if I knew you were the manager, I would not have asked for you in the first place. I further requested him by saying pls get someone else to bring me the bill but not him! Congratulations AUGUSTINER for having staff like this. Basic courtesy is so basic that your own manager is lack off. I would have not create a scene if he is friendly and approachable. Good luck to your business!

Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt is a must-visit in Berlin! I stopped in for a few beers and they were absolutely fantastic and fresh, perfectly poured, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with that classic Bavarian charm right in the heart of the city. The service was spectacular, all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. If you’re in Berlin and love great beer, this place won’t disappoint! 🍻

A great spot right in the heart of Berlin with a pleasant view and authentic Bavarian atmosphere. Augustiner am Gendarmenmarkt offers a truly traditional beer garden experience, perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy classic German food and drinks in a beautiful outdoor setting. The service was very polite and attentive — all the staff we encountered spoke English, which made ordering and asking questions very easy. The menu offers standard Bavarian fare like schnitzel, sausages, potato salad, and pretzels, accompanied by freshly tapped Augustiner beer — brewed in Munich since 1328. Everything was served fresh and quickly, and the portion sizes were generous. One of the highlights of this place is the outdoor seating area during the summer months. With checkered blue-and-white tablecloths and plenty of shade from umbrellas, it’s a great place to relax and watch the evening go by. The view toward the Gendarmenmarkt square adds a charming atmosphere. If you’re planning to visit in the evening, it’s definitely recommended to make a reservation, as the place fills up quickly — especially on warm nights. All in all, a solid and satisfying place to experience Bavarian culture right in the middle of Berlin. Definitely worth a visit!

As classic as it gets. A true German restaurant in every sense. Oktoberfest atmosphere with large beer mugs that keep flowing. The Bavarian-style food is simply excellent. An outstanding place.

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!

Disappointing. Food is ok but not wow. Service could be better. Reading the reviews this should have been the place for nice Italian food. I was disappointed. My impression was that they put all tourists in the less nicer front section of the restaurant whereas the locals sit in the back where it’s more intimate. We also did not get offered a choice where to sit whether a German guest did. Our waiter - with the tom ford glasses - was below par. He spilled lots of wine when poring it and didn’t even care. There was a lady in our section as well who was better though. Service is quick and Food is ok but not wowie. Squid was dry. Net as it’s supposed to be an upscale restaurant: does not deliver on expectations and I would not go back.

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!! 😉

Insanely good, probably my best meal in Berlin. I'm having a hard time picking my favorite between the superb, attentive staff and the menu which hits that sweet spot between tradition and creativity. My three wine pairings were each better than the other. No question that I'll be coming back, and bringing friends too.

Ignore those Einstein Kaffe chain establishments. This has a feel of an old Berlin cafe right in the heart of historical surroundings. Very respectful service and excellent food. This was a brunch worth the search.
Steve Morgan - a week ago

Einstein Unter den Linden is truly a gem in the heart of Berlin! The atmosphere is both classic and cozy, making it a perfect stop after exploring the boulevard. I ordered their famous Apfelstrudel and it was absolutely incredible. Freshly baked, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and served warm with cream. The portion was enormous, honestly big enough for two people to share, so keep that in mind if you’re not very hungry. Another highlight was the tea service. Instead of just a single cup, they brought a whole teapot which easily filled four cups. The staff were attentive and professional. Overall, it’s not only about the food and drinks but also the authentic old-Berlin atmosphere that makes the experience so special.

The place was super nice and comfortable, loved the Macha it was sweet and great, I too the Benedict, my friends took some other meals with bread, super full and ready for the day. I have some feelings about the food, but overall not bad.
inbar Lev - 4 months ago

The Austrian restaurant was wonderfully welcoming, its service attentive yet relaxed, just as you would hope for in a place of this standard. Each dish was delicious, but the true highlight came at the end — apple strudel, served with cream, that felt like the perfect sweet memory to carry away. Best I have eaten.
Shaun & Rita Eastell - 4 months ago

It was such a good experience. The atmosphere of the place was nostalgic and friendly. The apple pie was delicious and warm+ latte was good. Staff was friendly also. Price is a little bit high but it does worth it

Usually when I am not happy with a restaurant I avoid writing a review, I do not like to harm a business in any way. But this time I will make an exception and I will explain why below. We visited the restaurant one evening in November, as it was close to the hotel we were staying at. The welcome was very cold, but since we went quite late we justified it. The pleasant surprise was an application on the table that gave you the opportunity to read the menu in your language. However, the food was generally mediocre and mainly the schnitzel I got was not properly fried while its breading was peeling off when I cut each piece. But what saddened us was when we asked for the bill. The waiter came with the POS and a certain amount for us to pay. After the payment was made, as we were leaving we asked him to bring the bill. There we saw that we had also been charged a certain amount for a tip without our knowledge. The amount (10%) was not large, but we expected to be asked first, as in all the other restaurants we ate in Berlin. We felt that we had been cheated. We do not know if it was the waiter's initiative or the restaurant's policy, but it was an unpleasant surprise.
ANNA SANTAMOURI - 3 weeks ago

This is my favorite German restaurant in Berlin! The last time I visited the city, I knew that if I ever returned, I would absolutely come back here to eat. The service is wonderful, and the food is simply delicious. Every single dish is flawless, prepared with care and full of authentic flavors. I’m so happy to have such a special place on the map of Europe, a place I want to return to again and again for its impeccable taste. Next time I have the chance to come to Berlin, I will definitely visit again! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making every visit feel truly memorable. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience I cherish.

To be honest, I was a bit worried after reading a rather negative review from a month ago and even thought about choosing another restaurant. But since this place was only a few minutes’ walk from where I was, I decided to give it a try—and it turned out to be the perfect choice!! The menu has a QR code that brings up a multilingual version with clear pictures and descriptions. The beer recommended by the waiter Kilian paired perfectly with the crispy pork knuckle I ordered. My husband’s Berlin-style sausage and potato salad came in just the right portion. The food was truly delicious, and the beer hit the spot. To finish, the apple strudel was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Absolutely recommend it！！ 👍👍
Rita Lee - 3 months ago

We had a pleasant lunch here, pre booked as it does get very busy. We went for the pork knuckle Berlin style, Veal schnitzel which were both tasty. The staff were friendly and the service was very good. I’d recommend this restaurant for lunch/dinner.

This was the best meal I had in Berlin. Our server Amir was fantastic - so personable, friendly, and honestly the bright spot of my visit here! Really made my night! The food was decent and the atmosphere was casual but also nice ( just a bit noisy due to the acoustics). I’ve attached “Before” and “After” pics of our tomahawk steak, which we finished on the hot stone! (FYI we requested the steak rare so we could cook it to our taste, so don’t be alarmed!) Meal was 180 including a bottle of wine, tomahawk ribeye and three sides

Burger was really delicious, lots of items inside and on the side. Crispy onion, carameluzed onion, bacon, herbs, cheese and sauce, also chips on the side. Portion was big enough for an adult, could not finish. The only point is with the steak we ordered, there was *no side veg, sauce, etc.* with fillet steak. No mushroom sauce, no veggies, nothing, and steak must go with sides. But it was very soft and juicy.

Very calm and peaceful place to get a taste full bite of meat, also enough vegan options. Also pretty cheap for this quality of food. Service was amazing. sweet but profesional staff!

We arrived at the restaurant as a group of nine. We were warmly welcomed with a smile and seated at a large side table. We ordered steaks, which were excellent—especially since we could control the doneness with the hot stone. The burger was decent, and even the dessert was a pleasant surprise. What truly made the experience outstanding was Daniel, our waiter, who provided quick and friendly service.

Cozy little place, 11.50€ for every dish. The portions are filling, the presentation is nice, the staff is super sweet. Don't expect the crispy duck or chicken you'd find at an Asian buffet type of place, they boil it here, but it still tasted good. The noodles my parents had weren't proper stir fry noodles but more like those cheap Ramen packets, so maybe get rice instead. Also there was no music or anything playing, so all you'd hear was the buzzing of the drink fridges while you ate, which was a bit grating.

A really lovely spot not too far from the city center. Upon walking in, was greeted by the very friendly owner, ordered my food and sat down. Not even two minutes later, my food was on the table ready to eat. It was very tasty and I was stuffed afterwards.

The portions are good and the food tastes well. We just didn’t much like the soup but the service is great. Good place to visit with fixed prices.

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!

The breakfast offer is great, tastes great and is inexpensive. Unfortunately, I am only there three times a week.
Bernd Puhl - 3 months ago

A canteen that has only had a new operator since 2024. The prices are unfortunately a bit higher than at other canteens in the area. The food preparation is also rather average. The meatballs with Balkan-style sauce were nothing more than frozen gypsy dumplings. Hardly anything is freshly cooked here. The staff changes frequently, but is usually quite friendly. The canteen is used by employees of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, but is also open to anyone from outside. Ministry employees receive a small discount. Otherwise, the canteen appears clean from the outside. But I've tried different dishes several times now and haven't been particularly impressed. Even though there are four different dishes daily, one of which is a soup. My conclusion: You can eat here, but you don't have to. It's enough for a hot meal in a pinch.

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.
