Restaurant Austria Das Original

Large Portions, but tired Ambiance My visit to Restaurant Austria this evening left me with rather mixed impressions. On the positive side, we were seated without a reservation on a busy Advent evening, which was appreciated. The service was quick both in taking our order and bringing the food. We ordered goulash, a schnitzel, a couple of beers, dessert, and coffee. The goulash was not bad, the schnitzel was notably large in portion, and the dessert was generous as well. However, the overall experience felt incomplete and somewhat lacking. Perhaps Austrian cuisine is simply not to my personal taste, but I also felt the atmosphere was not particularly comfortable. While many praise this restaurant, I found the prices to be somewhat inflated for what was offered. The main drawback, in my opinion, is the interior. To put it mildly, it feels tired. One specific detail that caught my eye: a picture had been removed from the wall, but the lonely nails were left in plain sight, staring blankly at the guests. Such a small, neglected detail unfortunately contributes to a feeling of inattentiveness and diminishes the overall ambiance. In conclusion: decent portions and efficient service, but the value for money and the worn-out atmosphere didn’t live up to the hype for me.

Such tasty authentic food. Can recommend the schnitzel. It’s huge and thin and delicious. Also the autumn menu incl, Steinpilze with Knödel. Service is also very kind and attentive. Atmosphere is super cosy, well decorated, warm and not stuffy at all!

Found this place by accident and I'm so glad I stumbled onto this restaurant. I was a solo traveler and they were so welcoming right when I walked in the door. The lady waitresses were so nice and helpful. Their food portions are wonderful and the food is phenomenal and professionally done. I would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Burlin.

Staff where super friendly at this busy Austrian restaurant in Berlin. Everything from schnitzel to goulash is available. Excellent for groups of people. Booking is recommended due to how busy it is at weekend. Accepting guests after 22 which is unusual in many restaurants but shows that they are happy to look after their clients. Recommended!

A lovely experience and well worth a wander away from the centre of the city to find. The staff are friendly and understanding. The food is plentiful and delicious. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely afternoon meal.

The restaurant is everything but not pretty, but somehow it is the ugly beautiful look that immediately sets your expectations as to what you going to get. A true Austrian experience. True, the service could be faster in the first instance it took about 10 minutes to get the first drink, but it was smooth sailing from there. The order was basic: Beer, Schnitzel and potato salad. What you get is anything but basic. The biggest schnitzel you can get, soft like butter, not oily but juicy. The absolute highlight is the potato salad - better than in any restaurant in Vienna I tried. Bier is good. Price range is matching the quality and quantity.

Fantastic Wiener Schnitzel and great desserts - the other dishes on the menu are average. Staff is friendly and slightly slow. Location in the Bergmankiez is great, prices are on the high end.

Can’t say about other dishes but the Wiener schnitzel with asparagus (seasonal menu) was delicious, and so was the red wine they suggest pairing with it! We got recommended by friends as “the place” to try wiener schnitzel in Berlin and it didn’t disappoint… Portions are also HUGE, even when you order the “small size”.
