kochZIMMER in der Gaststätte zur Ratswaage

"The 18C Ratswaage is exceedingly stylish! On the outside you have the historical façade, and on the inside a minimalist interior with chic details such as silver-grey walls, 1950s-style chandeliers and burnt-orange designer chairs. Here, the Frankenhäuser family and their team promise a culinary style dubbed "new Prussian cuisine". Head chef David Schubert presides in the kitchen, working with only the very best produce, preferably sourced from Brandenburg producers. There is a six-course set menu (lobster bisque is available as an upgrade); for the vegetarian set menu, specify when booking. Wed-Fri, the special "kochZIMMER Stars" (four courses plus aperitif and drinks) is available by prior reservation. Be sure to consult owner Jörg Frankenhäuser when it comes to selecting your wine! Tip for summer: Try to get a table in the gorgeous courtyard – places are limited!" - Michelin Inspector

3 Best Day Trips from Berlin to Hamburg, Leipzig, and Potsdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"Restaurant KochZIMMER, housed in a building dating from 1752, is a romantic place to dine on New Prussian cuisine—old German foods given a modern twist. Inside, the gray walls, sleek red chairs, and intricate chandeliers create a cool-chic vibe; though if you can, try for a table in the atmospheric outdoor courtyard, where you'll be surrounded by a smattering of greenery, and encircled by high stone walls. Chef David Schubert, formerly of two-Michelin-star Louis C. Jakob in Hamburg, works mainly with local Brandenburg ingredients from small producers to craft regionally-inspired dishes, often with a twist: think pork with cherries, onions, and amaranth, or a sour cream tart with port wine ice cream and sorrel." - Liz Humphreys

Kochzimmer in Potsdam was one of the last Michelin Star Restsurants we hadn‘t visited yet in and around Berlin. However, the overdue dinner yesterday left us with mixed feelings. First the good stuff. The cooking is technically outstanding. Service at the table is good. Price / Quality is also excellent. 5 course, incl. wine for 155 EUR pp. What wasn‘t up to expected standard: When entering, you pass through a narrow corridor that smells quite intensively of the kitchen. Not the best way to start a cullinary experience. Smell should be neutral or at least pleasant. The dishes themselves, as said technically impeccable, lacked a bit of splendour. Lastly, I would recommed to put some artwork on the walls and work with spot lighting. The decor feels a tad chilly. Perhaps a puristic approach is intentional but I think that a warmer approach would be helpful for this restaurant in its classic setting.

An unforgettable evening! The five-course menu was simply outstanding, and the service was both professional and genuinely friendly. They even surprised us with a small, delicious birthday treat - such a kind gesture that made the night truly special.

It was my first visit in a restaurant of this caliber and I had very good time. Service was top of the top, they made us feel taken care of and very relaxed. We thought it will be a bit uptight, but it wasn't at all! Beautiful, calm place, with the greatest service in Potsdam and food...it was too good! Beautiful presentation and taste like heaven! Someone wrote on trip advisor that if you still have not been there, you should go before they get a M star and you won't get a table so quick! I agree!

Fine cuisine, absolutely worth the Michelin star. Service excellent, great wine selection. However, if after a 7 course menu of 3 hours you walk away quite hungry, something is not right. Having had dinner in quite a few fine restaurants, we are aware that portions are always relatively small. We weren't really that hungry before dinner but with extremely tiny portions we felt that after the finest dining you should not leave starving. My advice would be: for heavens sake increase the size of the portions.

Every bit as exquisite as you've been led to believe so far. An unassuming location on a side street, the real delight that is kochZIMMER is delicately advertised with the Michelin star outside the front door. We visited with a large group for dinner, and were warmly welcomed with drinks in the beautiful interior courtyard. For our main meal we moved to a privatized area of the restaurant where we were treated to a meticulously prepared array of courses, each more delicious than the last. The veal and strawberry caramel dessert were highlights. The 2015 Markus Schneider Cuvée Tohuwabohu was a real treat and an excellent accompaniment of the meal. In short, well worth your time and money for a visit!

Let's say...I am already expecting the next visit when the menu is refreshed.

Nice location, especially in summer in the small backyard. Food was excellent, service attentive.
