Knödelwirtschaft

Very friendly staff, the ambience is lovely and the knödels make for a really hearty meal. They have several varieties: cheese, bacon, spinach etc. I would also recommend getting the mushroom sauce on the side. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Berlin, especially in the colder months

Knödelwirtschaft is a cozy spot that transports you to a mountain hut with its dark wood interior, old-style decor, and candlelit tables. Specializing in Knödel (bread dumplings), the menu is a dumpling lover’s dream, offering around seven different varieties, including mushroom, speck, cheese, and sage. Each Knödel was well-made - chewy but not too heavy. The flavours were food, however not very distinct. You can enjoy the Knödel in various ways, from the traditional Parmesan and butter option to a comforting clear broth or paired with hearty beef goulash. The goulash was rich and flavorful, with tender beef that pulled apart effortlessly. Even the side salads were a delightful surprise, with a vibrant mix of red beets, cabbage, and cucumbers, providing a refreshing contrast to the heavier dumplings. The service was polite, and the food arrived quickly. Even the coffee was great, rounding off the meal nicely. Prices are ok, maybe a tick on the higher end considering the base ingredients that go into making the dumplings. The only downside was a large hole in the door of one of the dining rooms, which made it quite cold, forcing us to keep our jackets on while eating. Despite this, Knödelwirtschaft is an interesting place to indulge in tasty, well-made Knödel. Just hope they fix the door soon!

Very tasty food! The ambience is amazing and more importantly the service is so so friendly. They even help you understand the menu. Definitely recommend for you if you want to try something German but are a bit unfamiliar with the cuisine. Considerable vegetarian options.

First time having knödel and it was absolutely divine. The cheese and bacon dumplings were our favorite. But the crepe soup with veal broth was amazing. Very cozy and intimate place where you can get a solid hearty meal and glass of wine for 20 euros.

Absolutely spectacular. I’m here in Berlin for the first time, and the first time in Germany as well. If you want to eat traditional German food, you can’t miss this place. It’s located in a quaint but lively neighborhood, and the vibe inside the restaurant is incredible. Large wooden tables and warm candle lighting, extremely friendly staff (who speak great English as well). We had no idea what to expect, and wow was the meal incredible! In 2, we split the plate of beef goulash with 1 dumpling added, and it was definitely enough for two people. The sauce was delicious, the dumplings full of flavor, and the meat was so tender that it fell apart with just a fork. The meal came with a salad plate of pickled veggies: cucumbers, sauerkraut, beets, etc. I wanted to try dessert too, but I was too full. I would highly recommend checking this place out, the only thing is that it is cash only, but so is most of Berlin, so make sure you bring cash!

My absolute favorite restaurant in Berlin! My first visit to Knödelwirtschaft was actually 7 years ago when I was last in Berlin, and I have thought fondly about my meal there ever since. I had the pleasure of visiting Berlin again last week and coming back to this restaurant was my top priority. This time I tried the beef goulash with 1 liver dumpling and 1 paprika dumpling (paprika was the special dumpling of the day). Both dumplings were incredible and the beef goulash was even better than I expected. My boyfriend had the boiled veal with a cheese, a bacon, and a spinach dumpling. It was the perfect meal to enjoy together for our last evening in Berlin. In addition to the yummy knödels, the atmosphere is super cozy and the staff are very warm and welcoming. I love this spot because even as a visitor from New York, it gives the feeling of dining as a local at home in your own neighborhood. I highly recommend Knödelwirtschaft (both this location and the second 'North' location which I also visited last week) to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable meal in Berlin. I am already looking forward to my next visit!😋

Very authentic food and atmosphere, one of the best German restaurants in Berlin. Condensed menu makes it very easy to select correctly.

Average at best. I heard so much about this place, wanted to give it a chance since I’ve been positively surprised by german food before( in Südtyrol ofc lol) Extremely overpriced for what they serve, the goulash was average, some hard bits, sauce insipid. Knodel was ok but does not justify the price.. all different flavours tasted the same except for the liver knodel. Truly disappointing. White people praising mediocrity as per usual

So happy to have stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant while we were visiting Berlin. Great ambiance! The knodels were simply amazing! We tried 4 flavors, all so authentic. My Oma would have approved!

Baby's first Knödel! (I'm baby). On a Thursday night we managed to snag one of the last reservations for a date night dinner. I love the abundant non-meat options. We tried the Red Beet, Cheese, and Tofu + Spinach (vegan) Knödel + a side of the mushroom sauce + the dessert (cherry) Knödel. The dinners included a bursting salad plate. We couldn't stop moaning over how lecker everything was, how cute and gemütlich the interior is, and how sweet the servers were.

Wow! First time in Berlin and I never had high expectations for the food to be honest...with that said I have to say that this restaurant was the best restaurant from the entire trip (Paris, Prague and Berlin)!!!! In fact, it was soooooo good that we came here three times for dinner! The service is amazing, welcoming and super friendly - a very Berlin vibe. The atmosphere is superb and the environment of the restaurant is very European and local Berlin. Don't expect table cloth service, this is a LOCAL restaurant with a lovely candlelight setting. Now the food WOW THE FOOD IS SPECTACULAR! The Goulash was out of this world amazing, the Prime Boiled Beef was just as good! We loved the dumplings, we had and try them all! Our favorite was the Cheese Dumpling and the Bacon Dumpling. Don't skip the desert; the Curd Cheese Dunpling, Apricot is delicious! I can't stress enough how amazing the food here is and I am not joking WE CAME HERE 3 TIMES FOR DINNER because ITS THAT GOOD! HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I HAVE HAD IN A WHILE!!!! Highly recommend! Grateful for Mona, Sam and the staff for a lovely and amazing experience! Trust me, this is A MUST!

Best knodel I've tasted (recommend getting the mushroom sauce on the side!). Great atmosphere and quick service :)

This is just what I was looking for! It's in a gentrifying neighborhood and full of people way cooler than I am. (But everyone was super friendly). I had a mixture of four knüdeln. They graciously made a substitution on one to make it vegetarian (so all were vegetarian). It was SO good. It came with beets, lettuce, Parmesan cheese and a bit of sauerkraut. I lucked out and got a table for one. People were trying to find spots while I was here. It's got great old building, exposed concrete ambiance and a wide selection of bottled German beers (and wines, and cocktails).

Knödelwirtschaft was delicious! The staff was lovely, squeezing us in despite them being booked with reservations. The food was fantastic- between three hungry adults and a baby, we split a phenomenal beef goulash and seven knödels - two mushroom, two asparagus, one lavage, one ham, and one cheese. For dessert, we had two strawberry knödels. The menu seems to change seasonally and we were blown away with how good the food was. I was familiar with knödels and Emmy expectations were pretty high- this place is stellar. I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in Berlin!! I would suggest coming early or making reservations.

This place is an experience. The restaurant is typical Berlin, and a homage to the creative spirt of kreuzberg/Neukolln district; rough, edgy interior but oozing warmth and openness from the extremely helpful staff. I'll be honest, I stood outside debating wether or not to try it. I didn't know what to make of the place when i looked through the window -- the interior at the time of writing being so incredibly basic -- but the host/servester saw me doubting and came outside to invite my wife and I inside. I'm so very glad she did. We had a wonderful evening and the food was absolutely delicious, much more than I expected. The clientele were also equally open and we soon struck up a conversation with another couple, the husband of which is head chef in a 5 star hotel restaurant. He confirmed that the food was indeed of excellent quality.

Best Local German cuisine in a cozy place. Well worth the food and time. Good for vegetarians as well. All super local food - based off potato flour and variants and various local beers (Bavaria). No name on outside in a quite residential street near a canal.

Not a huge fan of Knödel until I visited Knödelwirtschaft. Awesome place, cozy, really nice staff and what to say about the Knödel... Super lecker!!! I ordered Kässe, Speck, and Rotkraut; this last one was really really good. Will definitely go back! Ah! Make sure you book a table before going there!

Knödel at its best! We were really blown away by the concept and the delicious products of this restaurant. It's a really simple place, with minimalist interior and a warm feeling that comes up right after entering. They only offered Knödel, so we tried all different kinds and they were really good! Nice service, great food, good prices and of course great beer. It was a great dinner!!!

Best knodel in Berlin. Service was excellent. Very crowded when we got there, but seated us at the tiny bar and then at the end of a table when empty. The knodels were wonderful. Had the kale and mushroom knodels. Yummy. Totally cute inside and well worth the wait!

Best knodel ever!!!!!!!! It was really moist and flavorful. The salad served with the knodel had the perfect balance of acidity and since the food wasnt too salty, you could really appreciate the flavors. Definitely recommend!!
