Rotisserie Weingrün

This rotisserie is a truly surprising oasis in Mitte! It's clear the team from the well-known Jolesch restaurant in Kreuzberg has brought their food passion here, dishing up their delightful open-fire grilled meats along with an array of delicious starters and sides. It's a fantastic spot to hang by the canal for dinner and conveniently just a few steps away from major sights. Highly recommend!

Traditional German food, friendly and attentive service, cozy interior. The food was fine, but it didn’t blow our minds, so to speak. Reasonable prices.

Totally amazing food. Rotisserie chicken is the best I’ve ever tasted. Goes well with dark (banana) beer. The service is great. Cannot recommend enough. Crème brûlée adds to a great experience.

Finally got a nice place in Berlin with amazing food. I can recommend you the choice of 3. I will definitely come back. Thank you

Very friendly and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great meal. The fish and meat dishes pictured both were enjoyed thoroughly. The vegan burger was good but wish there was more vegan options. Would recommend for a great meal.

All staffs are super friendly and warm welcoming☺️ We ordered a steak, chicken, crispy pork belly and ribs for 4 people, good portion and all of them are delicious ! 😋 Wrapped up with Creme Brulee and freshly made choco lava cake. A perfect night for us ! Will come again when we visit Berlin 😊

All around fantastic place. Great service, delicious food and some great wine selections. Get the ribs or the sausage plate if they are available. Definitely make a reservation and, if the weather is good, opt for the magical terrace seating.

I would highly recommend this place if you are in Berlin, but definitely book as it gets very busy. The octopus salad starter was delicious. All the meat cuts were cooked and served exquisitely. I would highly recommend the traditional bbq combo if you want to sample a wide range of meats. The wine menu is extensive, but the desserts menu is disappointing.

This was a great low-light German restaurant with attentive servers and an inviting dining room. We ordered then Veal and salmon, along with salad and sides for a very filling and satisfying meal.

Excellent food... definitely worth the wait for the chicken (20-30 min) but DO order it. Top rated roasted chicken. The wine menu has good German red/white selection. We ordered the Weisser Butgunder (Pinot Blanc) which was excellent and very reasonable ($38). Great place for groups and familes. Not "fancy" but still casual and lots of couples. A bit off the beaten path on the East side but worth the trek (8 min from Bradenburg Gate).

I always thought the roast beef was great. Since coming to this restaurant, I think the roast chicken surpasses any meat in taste. A highly recommended restaurant.

Now this place knows how to cook chicken... We ordered the following: Chicken: Excellent Spare ribs: Excellent Salmon: Very good Grilled veggies: Okay Roasted potatoes: Okay Desserts: I ordered 3 of them and all of them were good. It's a small place with high ceilings, but it was loud in there. I definitely will go back.

Awesome place. Just be sure to make a reservation:-). Food was outstanding and the service was great!!

Tasty, with decent service - service: 4 stars - ambiance: 4 stars - food: 3.5 stars Service was friendly but felt rushed... ambiance was modern (wood interiors) and warm. Liked the table decor Food was good: - free focaccia: 5 stars -- warm and crispy on the outside, tasted homemade. - salmon: 3 stars -- was hoping for a more fatty salmon - mine was a bit dry on the inside. The presentation was great with the fire, but wasn't much savory flavor - more strongly of thyme and rosemary - sides: 4 stars -- loved the juicy corn served with butter, mixed vegetables were more like mixed bell peppers though :( not many mushrooms or zucchini - cheese plate: 3 stars? Fruit bread and the other brown bread were great but the cheeses were too potent Overall, it's hard for me to say this blew my mind since I had a similar but mind blowing menu in Iceland just a few months ago. TLDR: For my Berlin choices however, this was pretty solid. Would opt for chicken + potatoes next time though.. seems to be the more popular option?

We got to Berlin late in the afternoon and had dinner here at around 7pm at night. There was around a 5 minute wait when we got there which wasn't too bad. The the bread served at the beginning was great! That was an indicator that the rest of our meal would be going the same way. We had the octopus salad to start with and it was a must-have! We also split the chicken and pork belly. Both were delicious, however, if I had to pick one of the two it would be the chicken. Overall, the food was really delicious and a must try if you are in the area.

Had the 3 meats plate -- it is a ton of food, could easily be for two. The pork rib was the best, then the chicken was also exccellent. The steak was very nicely cooked, but the least memorable. Nice potatoes and a great Caesar salad as accompaniment, but perhaps a stealing the show, the pumpkin cream butter spread for the bread!! If you could complain about anything, the olives weeds only average, but we're in Germany, haha! Highly recommend.

Stop what you're doing and make a reservation at Rotisserie Weingrün. The chicken was cooked perfectly. I'm talking moist, juicy, and definitely a generous portion. Rus got the pork belly, but I really preferred the chicken. We also shared a portion of mashed potatoes (which was on the smaller side). We ended the meal with the chocolate cake and ice cream. Great for sharing. We didn't make a reservation and were met with a little bit of resistance when trying to dine (despite the restaurant being nearly empty), but all of that weirdness washed away when I bit into that delicious chicken!

After a long journey to Berlin by train, my daughter and I looked forward to a delicious meal in Berlin. Rotisserie Weingrün was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. I would have walked farther for this meal! The freshly baked bread, green olives and herb spread sprinkled pumpkin seeds stirred up our appetite. The friendly wait staff person, Betsy, recommended the pork ribs and chicken. They were outstanding. The grilled half chicken and roasted potatoes were the best. Creme brûlée dessert was sprinkled with sugar and they caramelized the top right in front of us. Enjoy a glass of house Riesling by the water. Great way to start in Berlin.

Rally enjoyed dinner here and I thought the prices were very reasonable. I especially liked the pork belly. Only had the grilled veg for a side, but they had many options. Find it a bit odd that the meat comes with NOTHING on the side so you have to get some extras even if you are quite full from starters, meat itself. Service was pretty good and they speak both German and English. Mostly locals though, which is nice.

This place was or last diner in Berlin suggested by the front desk of our Hotel (Capri by Fraser). Great ambiance and awesome service. We had no reservations and was lucky to have gotten in.

We had a relaxed dinner here at 7pm on a Tue. We had the combo plate ("for those who cannot decide") which included rotisserie chicken, ribs, and pork belly. The favorite by a landslide was the ribs. The pork belly was kind of dry! :/ We also had the salmon, which was served on a plank and accompanied by an aioli that had lots of dill- very Scandinavian. This was tasty and very tender. In addition to the main entrees, we also got a combo appetizer. This had a tiny cup of gazpacho (very refreshing), some grilled octopus (delicious!), a small salad with chanterelles (sadly kind of bland), and some prosciutto. Were I to come back, I would just get the octopus. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake with melting center- i.e. old school lava cake from the 90s with a bit of ice cream. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner but weren't blown away.

This place is so good and more comfortable then it looks the service is great and try to sit with Betty she's the bomb #90s but seriously she knew my wine and I've only been 2 times as a tourist mad me feel so welcome.

Quite literally the best roasted chicken at any restaurant I've ever been to. This meal was perfect from beginning to end. What's best about it...it's simple food done to perfection.

An excellent meal. We enjoyed our seat on the patio. The restaurant is on a quiet side street. We sampled the salmon, chicken, ribs and pork. Yum!

I did not think I would get such a nice meal in Berlin. Local German farm to table food. Everything here was good and the staff was very nice and welcoming. They have a BBQ sampler plate you can get if you want to try a few different things. I would highly recommend this place if you are staying in Berlin and would like a nice meal with local wines or beer.

The reviews on this place are not underrated! We were lucky enough to get a 'limited time' table upon just showing up here on Thanksgiving evening after arriving in the city. We were promptly greeted and shown a table if we would be able to vacate said table in the following 2 hours. We quickly browsed the menus and chose a house white wine and the house reisling while we decided on our main courses. We opted for what seemed to be a very popular appetizer as the ham was fresh cut in the center of the table area and was consistantly visited by every member of staff seen floating the table area. The "Tyrolean mountain ham from our Volano slicer with Spreewald gherkin and fresh horseradish" was the perfect start to a wonderful dinner, I would come back for this dish alone! We both opted for the 1/2 a chicken and ceasar salat and the other half also choose the mashed potatos with brown butter; word of the wise ask if you can share the chicken! I don't really know why we thought either of us would finish 1/2 a chicken (observed others do so!) but I eat white meat only he prefers the dark and that's about all we could eat and MAN was it all MOIST!!! We both ate what we could and I had to save room for the creme brulee with blueberry and cassis sauce as I dream of a jam made of those two fruits we used to be able to get in Japan and because creme brulee ranks in my top 2 desserts; it was fired table side and I quicklyi had to defend ky plate from the table side neighbors! The sauce was on the side and did not dissapoint.

Cool Ambienace in a mix of restaurant and bar. Very central and easy to reach. The Staff is extremely quick and friendly, and the wines are tasty. I ordered the spare ribs menu here....Not the best in Berlin, but very good.

Landed in Berlin and was looking for something near our hotel in Mitte. We saw other reviews and decided to try it for ourselves. We walked in without reservations and were seated, in the back, but served nonetheless. We ordered the chicken, ribs, mashed and fried potatoes and beer of course! Another highlight of the meal was the bread that came out before our meal. The food and service was great besides being seated in the back while the rest of the restaurant was empty.

Very good restaurant with german specialties and grilled meat. My mixed grill was good, especially the chicken. The lamb looked delicious. And my ceasar salad was very good too.

Amazing Rotisserie on Berlin! Very upscale feeling and great and amazing flavors. Everything looked and tasted fantastically meat is of fantastic quality and so was everything else. The service is also great and there's a nice selection of wines from different locations to choose from. It's a not a particularly big restaurant so it can be a little noisy but there's very interesting people here. Good for families and groups. Watch out for the fire burning dishes here :)

Wow oh wow!!! This place is in the Michelin guide and its v clear why. We came for dinner (without booking - I suggest you do) and they managed to give us a table for an hour and a half. The staff are v nice and service was v good but the food is (as it should be!) the star of the show. It's excellent. I tried the goats cheese with rocket and rhubarb. The goats cheese was cooked v well so it just melted in the mouth. I then went with the half rotisserie chicken - you can't be dainty eating that. The skin was crispy and salty - yum! And the meat was tender & came away from the bone without much persuasion. For dessert I had the tiramisu with marinated strawberries and an espresso. Located not too far from the TV tower, this place will not disappoint!

When Arby's said "we got the meats", they obviously hadn't visited Rotisserie Weingrun (or Stake on Coronado Island for that matter, but that's a review I'll get to some day). A short walk from the beaten path it stands on it's own. The combination was tasty, and just the right amount (with the sides provided) and wines by the glass to keep the fat at bay.

OK. I wasn't expecting a "life changing experience," but I also wasn't expecting the finest pork ribs ever and brilliantly-prepared chicken, either! We went for the "three-for-25," mostly because there was just two of us and we wanted a variety of tastes (third was salmon). Great idea!! Dessert is fantastic, and so is the bread, so stay hungry before you arrive. Absolutely fantastic.

This is now one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in Berlin. Had the ribs and chicken, both were fabulous. Service was spot on, wine list was very good. Will be back on my next trip

Food was very good, especially the chicken, but not a lot for that price. you have to get 3 courses if you are hungry (unfortunately our waitress advised us otherwise and said one main course and a side would be enough). Atmosphere was very cosy and nice, although it strongly depends on where you are seated. Sadly it was a little too obvious that they pay more attention to large groups, that are ordering bottles of champagne. We spent about 70€ for a dinner for 2 with a glass of wine each (so not exactly blocking a table with a small coke and salad) but somehow the staff seemed rather annoyed had quite an attitude towards us, while chatting and laughing with other "big-shot" customers. maybe you have to be a regular to be appreciated at this place? overall: mixed feelings. food was good, but left us hungry and the staff and long wait for food did not make us want to order more)

My kind of food, as I'm a dedicated carnivore bordering on cave man -- kind of a sparse menu but all the basics are there, so there's something for everyone -- even a vegetarian risotto option. I chose the beef and it was good -- almost as good as the bernaise sauce that came with it -- my wife chose the salmon it was even better (flambé!). The atmosphere is cool but the tables and chairs are uncomfortable. Again, Spartan, in a way that doesn't really suit a big American but gives you that cost-conscious design feeling that is so Berlin. I don't mean that in a good way. The wait staff was equally German -- they hate letting customers pay in a timely fashion.

Amazing food! My father and I were in Berlin looking for somewhere off of the beaten tourist track, and we were not disappointed! The portions are large, the flavor abundant and it seemed as though actual Berlin residents dined there. We were the only people speaking English in the restaurant, which was exactly what we were looking for. The ambiance is fairly intimate as well, and the service was excellent. I would recommend the Crispy Pork Belly entree to even the harshest of food critics. Hope to return the next time I'm in Berlin!

Highly recommend their excellent pork ribs and killer sauce on the side. How to describe the sauce: comes in small metal container served very warm, made from pork stock, light tomato, onion/red pepper dices, slightly sweet, not thick, not vinegary like some US Southern style recipes. One serving is 3 large and very moist and meaty ribs. Within 10 minutes walk from the Courtyard hotel on Axel Springer Strasse. Farm style interior with wood and metal tables and chairs with high barrel brick ceiling. Tables spaced nicely with room between. Outdoor wrap around patio when weather is warm. In addition to ribs we had the thin sliced ham (like in Spain) with shredded horseradish and small gherkin pickle chunks and 2 paddies of butter (Bergschinken). Grilled vegetable side with cut zucchini, red pepper, onion and small green mild chili peppers with nice black roasting marks. Meal also comes with small plate of green olives and focaccia type bread and brown bread slices. Didn't much care for the mayonnaise like spread that came with the bread. Had glasses of house Pinot for €9 glass which was pleasant although light. Total bill for two with 2 rib entrees, appetizer, 2 vegetable sides, bottle of sparkling water and 3 glasses of wine ran €83. Entrees are standalone with all sides costing extra (grilled vegetables, salad, roasted potatoes, and mashed potato with brown butter, for example. Other tables were having steak, flaming salmon filet and pork and lamb dishes which all looked very good. Service was attentive and friendly. Very tasty and satisfying meal in Berlin city center area.

Very attentive service. Excellent food. Wine from their own vineyards. Good atmosphere. Culinary highlight in Berlin. Worth the money.

The place its super cozy, really good service and the food was amazing. My favorite was the pork done for 24 hours with Caesar salad. For dessert we had the chocolate cake with ice cream, amazing too.

The talk about life changing dinners experienced here are not by exaggeration. The service is great. The food is much better than that. Lucky and I mean lucky we were to get a reservation. I am surprised at how unassuming this place is. This establishment could be anywhere else and be successful. It is that good. The goodness began with the bread paired with pumpkin oil butter. Next the rhubarb salad to share was a nice little surprise. We shared the two person meat plate, steak, chicken and ribs. Everything was awesome. Ribs, perfectly seasoned and accompanied by homemade BBQ sauce. The chicken was brined nicely and needed no seasoning. The steak cooked perfectly. I waste no words here. The food is great. Desert was also pretty nice. All in all worth the visit to Berlin just to eat here!!!!

Food is incredibly delicious! The pork belly was cooked perfectly! The calf liver was the most tender and flavorful I have ever eaten. Mom forgive me! The service is a little stiff and unfriendly for us Americans. Just don't try to make conversation will them.

In my pursuit of the best rotisserie chicken ever, tonight (and at least at this very moment) I think I've found the ONE. This spot, featured in the Michelin Guide, takes the cake for the 'Best Dinner I've Ever Had' - I'm talking life changing! It features a flaming wall grill for their rotisserie chicken and spare ribs that are caramelized to a crisp! The pre meal bread service even has me second guessing the best bakeries I've tried in Rome! And the dessert paired with award winning Neiss Riesling is literally to die for! Everything from the Christmas ambiance, warm holiday decor, the service and food was top notch! Best meal I had during my visit to Berlin... best dinner I've had to date!

Super atmosphere and nice service - great food and impressive wine list. Ambiance reminds me of a mid-high range, foodie restaurant in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Western U.S., like NOPA. Specialties include grilled and rotisserie meats, including chicken, steak, and spare ribs. Our table all had the trifecta sampler plus some appetizers, and a great chocolate cake dessert. Chicken was a little dry, but spare ribs were among the best I've ever had in a restaurant. BBQ and Bearnaise sauces were included. If I had to do it all over again, I might have skipped one of the two appetizers and added a green vegetable to go with the grilled meat entree. We had no problems getting reservations on a Saturday night on only a 1/2-day's notice. There's a large common table that looks like it would be great for a large group. Unfortunately, Weingrün is located in a bit of a dead space at the southern tip of Museum Island - caught between some government buildings and a few busy roads connecting downtown to Alexanderplatz, so there aren't too many places very close by to grab a drink before or afterwards. Maybe a 15-minute walk to Gendarmenmarkt and the high-end/hotel establishments there.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! This place would be slammed if it was in LA, NYC, SF, Miami, etc. ... likely would also be much more expensive. We stumbled upon the restraunt, and will be happy to return later during our Berlin vacation. We had the sparkling rose, salmon and gnocchi entrees, and lemon tart for dessert, and all were fantastic.

Thanks for sending us here, Yelpers! Got into our hotel late, tired, no idea where we were but wanted to get beyond hotel restaurant, this was short walk away. Lovely Alsatian style onion tart, nice wine list, outstanding pork belly, nice ribs. We were stuffed but could not resist splitting a lovely blueberry dessert. Lovely place, nice ambience, well priced.

Simply amazing. My wife and I stumbled onto this restaurant after walking around Berlin all day and saying, "We're feeling hungry. Let's find a restaurant. How about this one?" Service was outstanding. They had free olives on the table before we arrived (yummy). They tried to bring bread, which looked delicious, but we had to decline (due to my wife's gluten allergy). They were prompt with bringing menus, bringing drinks, taking the food order, bringing the food, taking the dessert order, making dessert table side, and bringing the check. Three different servers helped us, and they all spoke plenty of English to help us (our German is lousy). Menus were available in English, including a huge wine list. We explained the gluten allergy, and we were assured that most things were naturally gluten free, and they would be happy to work with us. We ordered a bottle of water, the house red wine, roasted chicken, steak, a side of roasted vegetables and a side of mashed potatoes. The sides were served family style for sharing. All of the food was outstanding, especially the sides. The steak was a bit overpriced, but still delicious. For dessert, the server was on the ball telling us about the one gluten-free option, which was basically a creme brûlée. They finished it at the table with a torch, and there was a berry compote to put on top. Plus, I got some fantastic coffee on the side. We left this restaurant totally full and totally happy. It was expensive, but worth every last euro.

Gets a mention in the Michelin guide. One of the best meals we had while on holiday. It has a lovely feel to it with friendly staff not from Museum Island. The food was wonderfully prepared, well seasoned and the octopus was tender which is seldom the case. The lamb shank just fell apart and I sucked the bone clean. Started to fill up quickly so book a table in advance.

Great service to start and the food was excellent! Nice comfortable atmosphere in trendy upscale setting. I highly recommend this restaurant

This spot was so good we ended up dining twice during our visit to Berlin. My best and only advice is to order the BBQ ribs, that's really all you need to know! Totally amazing. They have an English menu and the staff are nice, though we did notice the level of service on our second trip was a bit lacking, potentially because it was towards the end of the night (eg. we had to ask for silverware, etc.). The restaurant itself is intimate and warm, plus it's in a great location with outdoor seating which was great for summer. While it is on the more expensive side, the food is really worth it. Oh, and I'd also suggest booking a reservation online as it seems to get quite busy, and the restaurant isn't very big.

Really enjoyed my meal here, and it was only a 10 minute walk from my hotel - John F Arcotel. Great location and literally just across a bridge. The only crappy thing was it was 10 degrees outside and a lot of snow on the ground. BBQ definitely is the answer when you're hankering for a warm meal! The ambiance of this place is very warm and lodge-y but trendy. The menu is extensive and they have a nice selection of wine. I appreciated that the menu explained the quality of the meat and where it came from. It really enhances the visibility of the farm to table effort. I started with the tasty complimentary focaccia bread and a glass of wine. I had a HUGE delicious seasonal citrus salad with nuts and greens. My main dish was the bbq ribs which were GINORMOUS. What is it with Berliners? How can you eat so much?? The waitress was very nice and even tried to convince me that I needed to order potatoes on the side. I barely finished half of my ribs and was asked if I didn't enjoy them. Sorry, I can only eat so much. Best to bring someone with you to help you finish your food since there's no such thing as takeout for leftovers! Sadness. Now everytime I think of Berlin, I think of the delicious tender ribs that I couldn't finish and were likely thrown out.

Fantastic place with great food (pork belly was absolutely out of this world!) from a carefully crafted menu. They make their own wine and juices (rhubarb) and grow vegetables on a farm in Kallstadt/Pfalz. They also own several more restaurants in Berlin: Aigner and Altes Zollhaus. Good for a casual get-together, romantic date, or any group gathering. Good quality food in the center of Berlin.

Very cool little place on next to a canal. Their food is farm to table and really very delicious. They have 2 other sister restaurants that I also ate at and should be tried as well.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Berlin! The meats are smoked to perfection, very tender, and well cooked. The ham and horseradish appetizer is delicious. I recommend the shared platter if you are in a group as it gives good flavors of most of their specialties. Very extensive wine list and nice decor. Feels very classy, also has English menu and most waiters speak some English.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food there. The food tasted good, and there was an element of surprise there when they flame grilled the salmon and Creme brûlée at the table. I was visiting but would not hesitate to go back next time I'm in Berlin.

Food was delicious! I am so stuffed. To start, I had the pumpkin soup which was fabulous and my husband loved the goat cheese appetizer. We enjoyed our dinner - I had the chicken and he had the three grilled meat selection. We really enjoyed both and highly recommend this cozy and delicious restaurant.

Went here after reading so many positive reviews on Yelp and I'm glad I did!! This place is so much more than just a rotisserie. The complimentary olives, focaccia and home made spread already made my evening before I even ordered! I only took a starter w side and a dessert, which was enough for me. The prawns I ordered were really good and my grilled veggies on the side were nicely seasoned and super crisp! For desert I ordered the chocolate lava cake which I really enjoyed too. Ambiance is good as well, I went here on a Monday evening and it was pretty busy! Would definitely come back to this place!
