Rutz Zollhaus

Came here for a business dinner. The 5 course menu was excellent. You know food is good when a room full of capitalists is quiet. From the beginning to the end I was impressed. A job well done.

This place deserves to be mentioned when it comes to (youshouldgothere) Let's start with the location: The restaurant is located in Kreuzberg at the Carl-Herz-Ufer. There is almost no traffic but it's still very difficult finding a parking lot. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not large and the paths seem a bit narrow, which makes it feel cramped. The ground floor is simply furnished and there is no real atmosphere. Here is what I recommend: the first floor. It is directly under the roof and the open beams create a very warm atmosphere which makes it very lovely. Staff: All the waiters were very polite and respectful. They were quick and well organized. Dishes: When it comes to food, it gets difficult because tastes are different. I can say this much. The starter and the dessert were not to my taste. The main course (duck) was on point. The taste was great. But again tastes are different. I know that there is a vineyard / beer garden (i.e. outdoor area) but unfortunately I can't say what it looks like there. That's it. Wasn't the last time for me. :)

We spent the evening outside and enjoyed the surprise tasting menu for about 75€ each. It consisted of many small starters that were either served alone or together. They lead to the main course, followed by desert. All in all a satisfying experience with partly local produce and regional flavours.

Amazing experience last night dined in rutz ZollHaus. We were sitting upstairs, the table set up gorgeously, friendly lady explaining the menu. HUGE wine selection, I got beef tarta and lamb for the main course, lamb cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and full of flavors. For dessert I got the “nearly apple cake” the dish was creative, lots of textures and layers! Really enjoyed, will bring my mum here when she comes visit

While Rutz has 1 Michelin Star, I don't feel it is anyway more special or better than many other good restaurants without a star. The location is historic, however, rather bland. The service is good, however, rather bland. The food is good, however, nothing to write home about.

Great food, delicious wine and excellent service!! We will come back soon :)

we had the best night with amazing wines and fantastic food. We took the 5 appetizers + one main+ desert and felt like we got a good idea of the menu. My favourites the Pea-Falafel, Tartar and the Turnib soup.

I would rate this place higher if they weren’t so inflexible with their NYE dinner menu. I’m pregnant and require the main course, which is a beautiful steak to be done closer to well done. We didn’t request this upon making the reservation but didn’t think it’s not something a restaurant that charges €190 per head for NYE menu can’t accommodate. Despite how apologetic our server was, apparently the kitchen refused to cook the steak further and kept it at medium rare. The steak didn’t come out a little pink, but raw inside. I obviously couldn’t enjoy it and gave most of the meat to my husband. I’m very disappointed that they were very inflexible, otherwise the food was great. One note, I think the restaurant has a long way to go to refine their presentation and oversell services to be charging their guests €190 per head. But the potential is there! (For example they served food on plates that have rough surface and all I heard during those courses were people scraping their plates which was very disturbing)
