Oderquelle

I love roast pork. We got lucky by coming in without reservation, but reserve a table if you want to come here. My friend is vegetarian and he got several options. 💚

We came here for a traditional meal on the last night of our honeymoon as we wanted something suitable for a vegan and a meat eater. What a fantastic place! The vegan pretzel dumplings with mushrooms are superb; a truly unique meal I will be dreaming about for a long time. My husband's pork and potato went down a treat. The staff were superb, the location was easy to find and the ambience was perfect for a cosy Sunday evening meal.

Excellent food and prompt service (even when busy).

I ended up going here two evenings in a row! The food was delicious! I was told it was traditional by my German friend who was there. Also, the staff were super fun! I enjoyed the playful their playful banter! If I’m in Berlin again, I’ll be here again!

Not the best food experience, and not the worst. Service was also fine. It was all kinda okay. As we Say in denmark "It's not something, worth writing home about" It was highly recommended by a friend, maybe we had our hopes too high, and got disapointed. The gravy was really tasty and the meat super tender to be honest.

What a gem! Old school Berlin, the most beautiful Tresen ever, wonderful service, bread and butter while you wait for the food. Best Schnitzel in town. Too good to take a picture before eating anything

Wow! Very tasty Germany food, just look at the pictures. Welcoming service and good quality food. The atmosphere was amazing and the location is great. I very much recommend this place.

Friendly staff, very cozy. I recommend

Delicious and interesting German dishes in a bistro setting. We had the roast pork in black beer sauce and a schnitzel, and both were perfectly cooked and delicately seasoned. The staff were extremely nice. The overall ambiance is great---it's a mix of locals drinking and groups eating. I'd come back here again.

If I ever return to Berlin, Oderquelle is the one restaurant that I would like to revisit. The atmosphere is lively without being too crowded (we were there in October), and the food was delicious. We had the roast pork in black beer sauce with bread dumplings, and ended the meal with the apple strudel. The roasted half duck looked amazing -- it's on the top of my list if I ever return. It's also near the lively Kastanienallee, a lively street with numerous restaurants and bars.

We just found this place near where we are staying. I loved the candles, I loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing. The romanesco with my beef was cooked perfectly.

We wandered in without a reservation, not because we didn't try to make one, but because we failed at OpenTable and weren't sure of a German equivalent... and I didn't trust my nascent German language skills to be able to call and make a reservation. The place is cute and quaint and the staff is super friendly. I ordered the roast pork in dark beer sauce, which was hearty and down home and comforting and tender and delicious. My wife ordered the lamb. She won. It was perfectly cooked, the couscous was fluffly and spring vegetables that accompanied it were tender and crisp at the same time. We had the Spätburgunder as accompaniment and were pleased. My in-laws had the Swiss Noodles and loved them. My father-in-law talked about how it reminded him of (but was better than) his German family's recipe. They had the Riesling. The service was excellent by American standards, which was a nice surprise. They cut bread for the table as you sit. The menu is in German and English, which is great for someone attempting to learn the language... and they put up with my childish questions... "Wie sagt man 'spoon' auf Deutsch?" Löffel. (and then you realize that this review was written entirely on your wife's account... because she used your computer and didn't log out. dammit)

Nom nom nom... I would be happy to munch my way through the entire menu if I had time to come back here! This lovely restaurant provided my favourite meal while my friends and I were in Berlin. We wandered in without a reservation and had a relaxed, delicious meal with decent wine. I'm not sure if the menu changes regularly, but if you have a chance, try the goose leg with dumplings (and plenty of trimmings.) It was roasted to perfection and just lovely. I was too full for pudding, but the chocolate cake and apple-ish deserts that my firends ate looked amaaaazing.

Delicious duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage paired with the local brew. Oderquelle offers outside seating with views onto beautifully renovated architecture and great service! Quite the highlight in this historic district of Berlin!

Led here by our guidebook, we were sorry we had not ventured into Prenzlauer Berg before our last night in town. On the way from the S-Bahn station to this spot, we passed any number of cozy, bustling restaurants of several stripes (Thai, Italian, etc.) that looked as thought they would have been fun to try. At night, the warm light from the storefront windows exudes a burgeoning restaurant scene. Oderquelle has several different small rooms that combine to make it a sizable restaurant without appearing so. It is throwback without kitsch. It is intimate and casual, romantic and unpretentious. The waitresses seemed to have too many tables and thus service suffered. We noticed our neighbors send back their tuna steaks because they were overcooked and grey all the way through. We did not have any such problem, however. We thoroughly enjoyed the Swabian style soup, which had a clear broth speckled with diced raw shallots and two large dumplings stuffed with ground poultry. That was the highlight of the meal for me. Our pumpkin soup was pure pumpkin-- no detectable fillers-- and was good. The mustard seed encrusted pork with Brussels sprouts and potatoes sounded excellent and was satisfying enough but not particularly memorable. The atmosphere was pure old-school charm. If the waitress to patron ratio remains unchanged, however, be prepared to linger before, during and after your meal. If nothing else, heading to Oderquelle seems to assure that you will find a spot worth going to, whether winding up at this restaurant or some of its neighbors.

I love the place, quality of food and service. They also have outside table. Nice and relaxed friendly atmosphere for anyone:) who love meats!

My restaurant of choice when I have visitors. Friendly and unpretentious, with a regularly changing short menu of german dishes - available on the website if you want to check beforehand. It usually includes at least one fish and one vegetarian dish. I always struggle to choose and often take the waiters recommendation. They lose one star because of the slightly odd table sharing arrangements. Sometimes this can be fun, but if I'm out with my family, for example, I like a table to ourselves. (NB we often skip desert and head over the road to 1950's style ice cream and waffle shop)

Came here to grab a quick bite at the end of a Euro Cup game, and they graciously seated us inside, close to a TV. Recommended by the waitstaff, I ordered the trio of toasts: bruschetta, olive tapanade and hummus. Lovely. I didn't want anything heavy. Afterwards we orders the cherry mousse dessert and apple strudel, which were both amazing. Definitely the best apfel strudel I had in Germany.

This has to be the most enjoyable German restaurant I've experienced during my stay in Berlin

Our favorite meal in Berlin. Service was great, food was fabulous, and the neighborhood deserves more time than the few hours we had.

Nice restaurant to dicover german food. Great soups with maultaschen (those big raviolis), and flammekueche. And of course the gigantic traditionnal bear. Nice atmosphere indside our outside. But in summer you better make a reservation, especially for outside tables. The nearby 1950's style coffee place the girl above (jimnkatie) is talking about is called kauf dich glücklich. It's also a four stars according to me.

Absolutely recommend! Order the duck or the fowl and you will not be disappointed. The meat was tender and juicy, topped with an amazing sauce that I couldn't get enough of. I'm drooling just thinking about it again! We definitely had the most amazing meal here! I wish this place was in the United States, but sadly it's not. Very nice outdoor dinning experience.

I totally love this place. Perfect German restaurant, in a town where it can be hard to find German food, weirdly. I was led here by a chef in a high-end restaurant, when I asked him where HE went after his shift was over. He didn't steer me wrong!!

I would say this is a great place if you want to try the food that you could get at a normal households. I would probably give this place four stars but the food (Sadly) isn't worth the cost. Kind staff that speaks good english.

Twenty years ago, the restaurant Oderquelle lay in East Berlin, in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. Today, Oderbergerstrasse is a pretty and trendy street chock full of great restaurants, cool cafes, and absorbing shops with vintage GDR clothes and knick-knacks or modern designs. After a Sunday spent trolling the Mauerpark or Arkonaplatz flea markets for treasures, Oderquelle's cozy dark wood booths and friendly service make it a welcome place for a delicious and hearty meal. Their weekly menu offers classic yet seasonal German fare - if roast goose is an option, don't hesitate!

Wonderful charming service. Great food. ..........................,.,.. Will come back. ...............................

Found a little black hair in my food, (visible for everyone of my friends). The waiters said it wasn't a hair but spinach, the chefs didn't have black hair on the head...(Were did it come from?). They were rude, didn't excuse. Wouldn't normal complain, but their behavior pisses me off.

My favorite German restaurant in Berlin. The menu changes every day (except a few dishes that are always available like Maultasche) so you never get bored. The food is delicious, with a German base and some Italian and French influences. Casual and friendly, not cheap but totally worth the money.
