Rutz Zollhaus

I loved it, the staff was engaging and charming, I would totally be back if I’m ever back in Berlin. The food was magnificent, we had two of the main specialties, and the desserts!! Exquisite. We loved it. We didn’t have reservations, but were immediately seated anyway. Thank you so much.

At the end of my short trip to Berlin I enjoyed the finest meal I’ve ever had in my many trips to Germany. Trout carpaccio, pork and veal meatballs, and Oz shoulder. And the requisite schnapps for dessert. If you want a great meal in Berlin, come here! And the wine list (which, eating alone, I could not enjoy) was very impressive. Don’t miss it. It’s not cheap but it is outstanding

Walked into this off-the-beaten-path restaurant. There was a group of people enjoying wine on the patio. Went inside. Staff were incredibly kind with great recommendations, including the meatballs which was our favorite dish and the wine we had. We all loved the ambience, very nice. Must have a reservation.

Dining at Rutz Zollhaus was an unparalleled culinary experience, earning a perfect 10 out of 10, and one that we will cherish for a long time. Our evening began on the charming patio, where the beautiful weather added an extra layer of enchantment to the night. From the moment we arrived, the staff's exceptional hospitality stood out. They welcomed us with genuine warmth and friendliness, immediately making us feel at home. Their extensive knowledge of the menu was impressive, and their eagerness to guide us through the culinary journey ahead heightened our anticipation. We started our meal with the grilled butter lettuce, an impeccable choice that set the tone for the rest of the evening. The dressing was extraordinarily flavorful, creating a delightful balance that tantalized our taste buds and left us eager for the next course. Next, we indulged in the beef tartar, which was simply perfect in every way. The texture, seasoning, and presentation were all executed flawlessly, making it a standout dish. For the main course, I faced a delightful dilemma between the braised ox shoulder and the BBQ ribs. In the end, I decided to indulge in both, and it proved to be the best decision of the night. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with the braised ox shoulder melting in my mouth and the BBQ ribs offering a succulent, smoky flavor that left me craving more. Rutz Zollhaus is a true culinary gem in Berlin, where every dish reflects the skill and creativity of Chef Marco Müller and his team. The entire dining experience was remarkable and memorable, from the impeccable service to the exquisite food. If you find yourself in Berlin, this is a must-visit restaurant. Bravo to Chef Marco Müller and the entire team for providing us with such an unforgettable experience. This evening will be one we remember fondly for years to come.

Excellent restaurant. As a more relaxed side-venture of a three star restaurant, the food here is expertly crafted and delicious in unexpected ways. Surprisingly the bread and butter was something we ate a lot more of than we expected, because it was so good. Setting is gorgeous, right next to the canal in a classic looking building, although the inside is more modernized.

We had a fantastic evening at Rutz Zollhaus! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our allergies were handled with great care. Our server, Lucas, was amazing — very attentive, spoke excellent English, and really added to the atmosphere with his warm and intuitive service. He truly made the night special. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
