PeterPaul

An incredible experience! Tapas style German cuisine allows you to discover the incredible food from a culture most people ignore. The service is excellent and the location is magnificent

I recently had the pleasure of dining at PeterPaul in Berlin with my partner, and it was a truly delightful experience. The restaurant offers a unique twist on traditional German cuisine by serving classic dishes in small, tapas-style portions, perfect for sharing and sampling a variety of flavors.  Each dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Germany with a modern touch. The wine selection complemented our meal wonderfully, enhancing the overall dining experience. The ambiance of PeterPaul is both modern and stylish, with dark walls and cream-toned seating creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Our waitress was exceptionally kind and welcoming, making us feel valued and ensuring we had an unforgettable evening.  Overall, our visit to PeterPaul was a memorable culinary journey through German flavors, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and enjoyable dining experience in Berlin. Can’t wait to go back!

Wow what an experience! A friend brought us here to experience finer German food and this did not disappoint! The wait brought out tapa style plates of various dishes from across Germany. Everything we ate was phenomenal. Highly recommend to visit this family owned and operated restaurant

Upon stepping into PeterPaul, we were met with a balance of elegance and ease, where the setting managed to simultaneously whisper sophistication and beckon with a sense of warmth. The refined decor didn’t come across as overbearing, providing a charming setting for an evening’s meal. Yet, the culinary experience failed to rise to the same occasion. More puzzlingly, our server omitted mentioning that the establishment champions a tapas approach to German cuisine. Instead of embracing a symphony of varied plates, as intended, we mistakenly mirrored each other’s selections, thus sidestepping the very essence of dining here.

From start to finish, this was a truly remarkable dining experience. The concept—an inspired fusion of art gallery and restaurant—feels both original and thoughtfully curated. Service was a standout: warm, attentive, and effortlessly professional, with a genuine sense of hospitality that made us feel personally welcomed. The culinary offering was just as impressive. A cold starter of roast beef with crème fraîche, shallot, and pickled gherkin was beautifully balanced and full of flavor. Warm dishes such as the curry sausage, cured pork with sauerkraut froth, and Königsberger meatballs were masterfully prepared—flavorful, elegantly plated, and portioned just right. This place is a hidden gem in Berlin, and one we’ll be enthusiastically recommending to friends and fellow travelers alike.

The most delicious German dumplings I have ever had, I think it's not purely German, it has a bit of foreign influenced taste. Anyway,so good. The other dishes are just ok. Was a little bit disappointed by the Black Forest , it was a deconstructed one, but for me it was uncreative, a piece of brownies and dry cherry put together don't make it a Black Forest.

We’ve had the best time ever at PeterPaul, definitely one to book for reservations. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve had. It’s all tapas styled but the portions will keep you full. Service was tip-top and we were well taken care of. Would highly recommend the mountain cheese dumplings, the pea soup, the sausages filled with feta! The black cherry cake dessert was one to remember too. Extensive selection of German wines too, very well done decor and art - great ambience, one to definitely come if in Berlin!

Sweden person here. Got the server Jonas, amazing server. As a vegetarian we wanted some food that would fit. Jonas showed us the alternatives and was quick to pick up that I was vegetarian and that me and my boyfriend would like to share. Jonas was very friendly and looked after us. We are talking food, drinks, and conversation wise. We got a good meal. German style food. Jonas was even nice enough to take a picture of me and my boyfriend. We also got a picture together with Jonas. 10/10 service

This is off the beaten path for tourists. It was recommended by my husband's coworker for a great way to taste a lot of great German food. In most of Berlin experiences, people in customer service speak English, and they did and there were English menus as well. This is like German tapas. A little bit to try and order many of them. This is okay as a date with 2 people, but I would almost recommend getting 3-4 people together so you can try more. We had 3 in our party and we ordered a lot (me, my marathon running husband and teenage son :: so 2/3 of us eat a lot!). This restaurant is shotgun style, so I don't know how far back the actually establishment went. They offered to cafe tables outside and some entryway bar style seating. This place is definitely an experience over "just dinner". The food was a pleasure to see and eat.

The service and food were both amazing. Really enjoyed our meal. We tried three warm dishes and 2 sides. Our favorite was the cheese dumplings. We also both had dessert and shared them. Loved the relaxing feel of the place while cozy it also felt upscale which was nice as we were traveling and while not in super casual clothes we were not dressed up but didn't feel out of place.

Great food and great service in a nice atmosphere. What else do you want? If you search for a great restaurant for good prices in Berlin, I highly recommend this one!

Highly recommend this restaurant! We loved the concept of being able to try and share various dishes. We ordered two cold plates and three hot plates plus dessert for two of us to share. I highly recommend the herring cold plate, the rouladen and the saumagen - all were incredible. Very beautiful presentations of food in a refined but comfortable setting with attentive service.

Might have been because this was our last night of 6 in Germany and we were probably just tired of German food at that point, but we were very underwhelmed with the food here. We got about 6 different items (oxtail consomme, currywurst, crispy chicken, beetroot dumplings, braised beef, cucumber salad) and they were all just ok. The service was exceptional and the restaurant ambiance was good, but we left feeling disappointed with our meal, especially since this place had so many great reviews.

This German-inspired "tapas" restaurant does everything well -- food, service, ambiance. Dishes are not classically German -- which is good -- but rather inspired by German cuisine. Dishes are not really tapas either but something between a tapa and a main dish. It all works out beautifully. Buttermilk chicken and any of the vegetable dishes are highlights. Everyone loves this place.

The best meal I had in Berlin and just exceptional overall. Had the cold roast beef with pickles, fried chicken and pork sauerbraten (basically a beef short rib). All was very high quality and absolutely beautifully prepared. So delicious. Service excellent and restaurant beautiful. Highly recommend.

Extremely tasty, fresh approach to traditional German cuisine. Tapas "Deutsch" style, you'll love it!

My fiance and I really loved this restaurant! The tapas are some of the best we've ever had, and it allowed us to try several regional dishes all at once. The Berliner meatballs was Goose's absolute favorite (he would eat them every meal if possible). I really enjoyed the potato salad and dumplings as well. Also: ORDER DESSERT. The "red berry jelly" has a terrible English name but is AMAZING. I don't normally like fruit desserts but this is slap your mama good. The Black Forest Cake is equally amazing - just make sure to ditch your preconceived notions of stale American layer cakes before ordering. It's more of a dense chocolate tart with sorbet...yum.

Food was great, staff are very friendly... very good portion size, great value. Love the decorations in the restaurant. Overall excellent experience.

we were in Berlin four nights and this place was so wonderful that we ate there twice! The staff are wonderfully friendly and gracious, the food was delicious, and we felt very happy being there. The fish fingers and sauerbraten were especially good as was the Black Forest chocolate cake with cherries. They had a seasonal chanterelle salad and chanterelle soup which were both superb. We each had three plates (6 total) plus dessert and two or three cocktails each (who can remember?) and it came to 146 euros with tip. Not cheap but not bad. Thevother diners seemed sophisticated snd elegant but not stuffy. Nice vibe. Oh yes and all the staff spoke impeccable English. Thank you

Excellent. Nearly a perfect execution of traditional fair with a very modern twist. The small plates mean you can taste a wide variety of the offerings all of which ranged very good to to sublime. In particular the picked vegetables, ravioli, and braised beef were superb (as was the Black Forest cake). The service was also excellent and quite friendly (even though I only knew a few words in German). Even though we're here for a short time from San Francisco, we'll likely be back.

A very delicious German tapas restaurant. Their prices are top shelf, but their products are also equivalent. Our server requested that we each get between four and five choices off the regular menu and there was also a winter menu. Consommé, sauerbraten, fish and chicken fingers curry worst! The spectrum is wide, the roulade spectacular. I asked the waiter to choose of three desserts any one that contained chocolate. The result was orgasmic (especially if one likes kiwi and strawberries. From an American that lives in the New York city metro area, this is one of the better places to eat.

From the warm welcome, to the attentive service, and the incredible food...would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Berlin. The Christmas Chestnut soup was outstanding, the variety of German dishes was flavorful and adventurous. Thank you for a great evening!

Great German food in tapas form so you can try a lot of different food. As a vegetarian, I had low expectations but was blown away, especially by the seasonal asparagus menu. This place gives you the best of traditional German dishes with an interesting presentation. The asparagus soup (on the house) was fantastic, as well as the risotto, and the meatballs (according to my non vegetarian family). Service and ambiance were great as well.

What a great way to sample all the classic traditional foods of Germany in small portions with an upscale twist. Reasonably priced, great service, and really cool atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Super tolles Essen! Sehr freundliche Bedienung.Alle deutschen Gerichte die man liebt in kleinen Portionen-"mix and match". fantastisch. man muss sich nicht entscheiden zwischen Sauerbraten oder Roulade. man darf alles essen -Tapas auf deutsch - Super Idee. Mit Liebe und sorgfalt zubereitet. Die Presentation ist auch toll, schoen dekoriert Preis/Leistung stimmt. Ich werde wieder kommen ganz sicher. Nur zu empfehlen. Danke.

We couldn't have enjoyed it more! We found PeterPaul at the end of a long day of site-seeing (first time in Berlin) and were warmly greeted by David, the owner, and the charming staff including Rami and Theresa. The small plates are beautifully presented and each offers unique taste and texture. With soups, cool & warm plates, salads and desserts there's plenty to sample. The wine and beer selections are quite nice and questions are welcomed. We're not foodies but we love a terrific meal at an attractive price -- so we went back the next night to try some dishes we hadn't yet enjoyed. Top notch.
