Coming back home after a meal in this modern German restaurant along Torstaße in Mitte, only really one question was bothering me.....is this the best German restaurant I have been to in Berlin?
Answer to follow. It's busy so booking is a must and there are plenty of reasons why.
Firstly, the service and atmosphere in this place can not be faulted.
The menu is specifically very Germanic and very authentic. I also love the fact it fits on one page....there is no need for pages and pages of choice when it's this good.
Extensive vegan and vegetarian options all over the menu, including a nice 3 course vegan menu for €40.
However, other menu choices to satisfy those meat eaters out there do exist including, and ironic when confronted with so many vegetarian dishes, a beef tartare for a choice of starter. It is a very unusual offering nowadays and my favourite dish of all time.
Having fought the urge for uncooked meat, we went with a nice fish course and boiled beef, and both of these were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The accompanying sides with the beef were all incredible, especially the creamed spinach and horseradish.
An excellent, very relaxed experience with first-rate menu and service. Yes, it's not particularly cheap. We had 2 mains and 2 drinks and a bottle of water for €100. BUT...
Let's be honest here and say that this price is not unusual in Berlin, and we have eaten far worse for more than this, so....
This is indeed, hands down, the best German restaurant I have been to in Berlin so far. We will return, and we will bring the kids next time.
Highly recommended.
