Kurpfalz-Weinstuben

An absolutely amazing experience! From the fantastic welcoming as if we were walking back into the door of home, to the top notch service, to the stunningly delicious food! Do not sleep on the opportunity to experience an amazing meal here! Make your reservation now!

We discovered this restaurant through the Michelin Guide and chose it to celebrate our 15th anniversary — a choice that turned out to be truly memorable. The wine list was impressive, and soon after we were seated, a gentleman approached our table offering to assist with the selection. Although I am not usually fond of Riesling, he encouraged me to trust his recommendation. It was a pleasant surprise — elegant, well-balanced, and so enjoyable that I decided to keep it for the entire meal. The others chose red wine, perfectly matched with their main courses. Both the starters and mains were flavorful and beautifully presented. At the end of the evening, the same man returned and offered us a taste of sausages his supplier had just brought. They were not salty and were among the best I have ever tried.

I make it a point to support institutions like this one, and I recommend Kurpfalz to all my friends for casual drinks or to linger for a longer date night. My partner and I been a few times (dinner, courtyard pizza events, a spontaneous glass, etc.) and have noticed a pattern from the owners. Sometimes you're greeted and made to feel welcome, other times not so much. Yesterday was my birthday and I couldn't wait to attend the tasting with Münzberg in the Kurpfalz backyard. Sharing my experience and feedback below. The good: as always an inviting courtyard, amazing card/list, waitstaff are true professionals. To improve: welcoming treatment for all guests, so everyone feels acknowledged, guided, and equally attended to. Our experience: When we arrived, the couple in front of us was greeted warmly. They paid, and were directed where to get a glass and begin. When it was our turn we were told “cash preferred” and directed to the nearest ATM, even though we’ve paid by card here before. Later we overheard other guests being allowed to pay with EC card, which was confusing. While my partner went to the ATM, I waited by the front and was barely acknowledged. After paying, we stood for a moment unsure how to begin until my partner picked up a flyer and asked where to start, at which point we were briefly pointed in the right direction. The interaction with the wine rep felt just as uneven. While he engaged other guests about the wines, we were not included. It was disappointing as I look forward to learning as part of the experience. At one point my partner was nearly skipped while waiting for a pour until another guest pointed it out. When my partner went inside to return our glasses and use the bathroom, the owner called after him, “Kann ich dir helfen?” which felt unnecessary and embarrassing as I heard it across the courtyard. I just want to emphasize that we had reserved and were looking forward to celebrating my birthday there. Overall, it was awkward. I hope this feedback is taken to heart: the courtyard, these events, the main menu and the wine selection are beautiful. And the waitstaff (especially the woman in all black) are always lovely. My tip would be to extend the same level of warmth to all guests every time, even it doesn't seem like they belong. The wine world is pretentious enough.

Great food, interesting service! We had a company dinner here and the food was fantastic – no complaints there. The location is also lovely. The service, however, was its own kind of memorable. The owner was clearly having a stressful night and wasn't shy about showing it. We were treated a little disrespectfully, but our group decided to just laugh it off as the authentic German customer service experience we've all heard about. I still highly recommend it and would come back cause the quality of the food and drinks are phenomenal.

Got the three course meal with no regrets. The food was exceptional, totally understand why it's on the Michelin guide! Scallops and roast beef were on-point, and the lime meringue was the cherry on top! My waitress was very friendly and provided me with great recs and descriptions of dishes. The atmosphere was also very comfortable. Only gripe was that it seemed a bit understaffed with two waiters considering how busy it was. Expect half an hour wait between courses which is understandable given the time it takes to prepare fresh dishes.

YOU CANNOT TAKE FOOD HOME BECAUSE OF “SECURITY” CONCERNS. EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE RESTAURANT FROM THE MICHELIN GUIDE (or any restaurant for that matter). Worst service we have had in years. One would not expect such poor customer service at a restaurant from the Michelin guide. My boyfriend and I are in the city for the marathon. Since I am carbloading during the day/we want to try as many different things during our short time in Germany, we ordered three main courses and an appetizer thinking we would take leftovers to the hotel. Our server was surprised we ordered that much but did not say anything. Portions ended up being rather generous so we asked to wrap remaining food up (we did not eat most of it). The server told us that they could not do it due to “security” reasons. At first we thought it had something to do with the state law however had our doubts and asked for a manager. The manager confirmed that the “security” rules were imposed by the owner as they could not guarantee “quality” of food if taken out. To which we said we did not care. We are well travelled and go out frequently and never seen such a thing before. They did not offer to take one meal off the bill or offer a discount or something like that. No prior disclosure of this “policy” to customers. The server could have at least said something instead they chose to massively overcharge us. Other patrons at the restaurant just were openly laughing at this stupidity while being embarrassed for such poor service in their city. Just call it for what it is: we do not have to go containers, etc. Honestly, I cannot wait to share this story in the US and see everyone’s faces. Major disappointment. This restaurant should not be on the guide. I will make a point to contact Michelin about this incident.

The food and wine were nice. You got a great selection of German wines. Only unfortunate thing is that we ran into a large group and the kitchen seemed to be struggling to keep up with the orders of every guest. the decor showed a lot of history of the place, if you manage to run into the owner or his wife, they will tell you all about it! for those who think of sitting outside, beware of flying insects and climbing insects around. there are plenty of seatings indoor to avoid any disturbance to your meals...

Excellent food. The service can be a little intimidating but in general attentive. The space is not big so it can be quite loud. Two course menu should be 49.9 euro but I was charged 63 euro. Otherwise I really enjoyed the food.

This was our first visit to a German restaurant when we were in Berlin! We enjoyed the food, the wine and beer, and the ambiance. It really seemed authentically German!

What a wonderful dinner. We were visiting Berlin on family vacation from the states and had read about Kurpfalz-Weinstuben. We ate there last night and were not disappointed. Not only was the food amazing, the ambiance was lovely with beautiful outdoor seating and the waitstaff was very courteous. Our teenage daughters also loved it, which doesn't always happen . We will definitely be referring this place to anyone going to Berlin.

This was my first meal in Berlin, and it did not disappoint. I'm the service was great, and it was such a cozy restaurant. I would highly suggest doing the 3 courses. The onion soup is so good and so is the beef. If you want to order other things - the salad is great. A must visit in Germany.

This used to be the place to get impressively aged (German) wines by the glass and bottle for pre WWII prices. The way the interior complements the agedness of the wines is spot on. The food, however rustic, is nothing to get any culinary prizes for, but dishes that your great-grandparents probably thought were pretty cutting edge, like 'Kallstadter Saumagen' or 'gebeizter Fleischspieß mit Salat' only add to the time-machine-like experience. If you're bored with trendy nordic cuisine or 'natural' wine bars, why not try out this place for a completely different experience. The owner recently changed, and it's still unclear how (or if) the new owner will be able to continue offering the kind of perplexing prize-quality this Weinstuben is famous for. We will come by to find out for sure. Good luck to him, with all the renovations and investments it's going to be a hard path to follow!

Wonderful wines, delicious food, great atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff - we had a great experience here. We sat outside under the trees in a quiet courtyard near the busy Adenauerplatz. The dinner menu is only available in German, but our waiter kindly took the time to translate and describe each item for us. Our waiter made wine pairing suggestions and I'm glad he did. The wine menu is fairly extensive and his recommendations were excellent! I would not have selected a Rosé myself but the Spätburgunder Rosé was absolutely delightful with the duck beast and melon starter. We've already made plans to dine here again during our stay in Berlin.
