Katz Orange

Very delicious modern german fare in an old church building. The pork on bone was so moist and tender and bursting with flavors, one of the best pork dishes I have ever had! The pike perch dumplings were so light and airy and delicious as well. Wine selection by the glass was good as well.

Just an exceptional dining experience. Everything was so flavorful. We did the tasting menu and essentially tried everything, it was a lovely experience, but to be honest the desert was the most underwhelming part. I'd recommend skipping the dessert tag on.

Giuseppe was an incredible host, with an excellent wine selection to pair with the slow cooked meats, great ambience and attentiveness from all the staff. Worth visiting when in Berlin. 5 minutes walk from the Berlin Wall memorial too 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Incredible from start to finish. Each dish was so flavorful and really complimented one another - it was all so delicious!! Excellent wine and cocktail menu, as well. Wonderful staff and ambiance. Just walking up to the restaurant is really warm and picturesque. I cannot recommend more highly! This is my second time going and cannot wait to return!

Note: I have updated this review with respect to how courteous of a reply they had to the original raw review. The feed back has been received, thus I'm writing a much lighter review. Arriving at the beautiful building was quite impressive, the staff were extremely welcoming and the resturant beautiful. We had the family style dinner, it was a bit hard to hear our server at times, but the starting cocktails were exceptional, unsure what they were, but they were great. The initial starters were great, well executed though hard to figure out what exactly the cuisine is. Odd mix of dishes. The pumpkin soup is amazing, but the mains for me were very disappointing. The signature, while can be broken down with two forks, it's more a crumble than a fall apart braise. Though this could be what's considered tender in Germany. The desert was also interesting, though odd still. A sort of shaved ice with toppings, similar to Kakigōri shaved ice in Japan. Cocktails again exceptional. The team care deeply about the resturant, I personally found the menu confusing and unbalanced. With certain items ruining my time. I will say I'm very critical of meat bring South African, so it's unlikely that others would have the same experience as me.

We really enjoyed the food, also love the taste of wein. Salad was the favourite of us. Staff is also very kind. Ambiance is so chic and makes you feel like you are at home 😍 We look forward to visit Katz Orange again.

I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was great. It just took our waiter a while to attend to us from the time we sat down and during the time we were there. Overall great food and vibe.

Lovely dinner in a warm and inviting space with great food and wonderful service.

Food: 3/3 (-1 for price) Service: 1/1 Ambience: 1/1 Ok so first of all I have to say, Katz Orange was great on all fronts - friendly staff, zen atmosphere, and delicious food. The food here is also unique and not fare that is easily found in other restaurants as well. It's definitely an experience, though do be aware of the price tag. It was probably the most expensive restaurant I'd been to during my trip. Is it worth the price? I'd say that's questionable. It was a good experience but for these prices it's not a place I would recommend unless you have the disposable income for it or it's for a special occassion.

Hidden, albeit well known, gem in Berlin. We started our dinner with a bottle of Peth Wetz Sauvignon Blanc, which was delicious, and a few apps, including their sourdough bread, goat cheese croquette and hand-cut fries with roasted garlic mayonnaise. The four of us loved each dish, with the star of the show being the fries, which were just as flavorful with and without their mayonnaise counterpart. We all ordered different mains and enjoyed them as well. I ordered the salmon, which had a satisfying crunchy skin contrasting the supple texture of the actual fish. The service was more similar to an American restaurant, with attention to re-filling water/wine, more frequent check-ins by the staff, etc. We sat on the ground floor and loved our view of the kitchen and bar. The interior felt cozy, warm and interesting. A quick note! Their espresso 2.0 cocktail does not contain actual espresso, so we were a bit disappointed when we ordered it, thinking we would be getting a twist on a more traditional espresso martini. In actuality, it's nothing close to an espresso martini but mostly tastes of vodka with a hit of salted caramel.

Admittedly when I saw the photo of the exterior of the building & realized it was close by after an exhausting travel day, I quickly decided Katz Orange was our perfect dinner spot. We were extremely pleasantly surprised. Not only did the ambiance deliver as thoughtful & consistent as only the Germans can do, but the service was warm & just the right amount of attentive, and the food was great. We started with the burrata, which lets be honest, should be a chip shot, but in this case they enhanced the heck out of it with their accompaniments and it was delightful served on their house made bread. They use a "sharing concept" which I normally hate but they were super chill about it. We had the pork that was melt in your mouth tender & slightly sweet, balanced perfectly with some pickled vegetables; the salmon with the most delightful (stick with me here) turnip puree I have ever eaten, and some mild kimchee that paired perfectly; as well as the sausage plate that was very flavorful & not just another German Sausage. All in all, lovely meal & experience, definitely recommend.

Dinner was fantastic - great food and perfect service. However, as I was leaving with my family, I left through a door that apparently you are not supposed to use. There were no signs, so I could not know. My daughter followed me out and she was approached by a waiter in a quite rude matter. I apologized to the waiter saying that I was the one who opened the door. The waiter told me to shut up. I told her she was being rude and she insulted me, calling me sissy. Yes, these were her exact words. Unbelievable. It takes a single person do totally destroy a dinner experience that was just great. I came back and spoke to the manager. I started by congratulating him for the dinner and before I complained the waiter came back and she started again speaking in a loud an rude voice, this time in German, which I don't understand. Later I learned that before that she came again after my daughter being again rude to her. Dear Orange Katz team - apologies for opening a wrong door in your restaurant. I suggest locking or putting a sign so that people won't walk out through the many doors next to the dining room. That said, I have been to so many restaurants in my life, some great, some poor, some with great service, others not as good. But I was never ever personally insulted by anyone in a dining experience, especially in such a low and sad way. I will never come back, unfortunately. This was just unacceptable.

I really enjoyed my solo dinner here while traveling in Germany. Definitely make reservations as this place is quite popular with locals and tourists alike. The location is really charming. It is easy to miss from the street, as you have to walk through a little courtyard to get to the door (it is in an old brewery). I had a trout and sunchoke appetizer and for the main course I had sausage that came in a little cast iron skillet with mashed sweet potato and parsnips. I also had a side of puy lentins. Everything was hearty and delicious. I found the portions to be quite large, especially for one person (see the pics!). They have a nice and varied wine list. I did not have a chance to try their cocktails, but they all looked/sounded delicious. I also noticed everyone around me was ordering their fries and seemed to be devouring them, so I think it is safe to say that is one of their go-to appetizers! Their staff seem quite international. My server was from France and spoke perfect English. This was one of my top meals after 6 days in Berlin and I would definitely recommend it!

We were pleasantly surprised here. One of our best meals while traveling in Europe. Reservations are a a must, although we were able to get a table as walk ins when they papered for the night - we got lucky. The plates are small bit they are filling and delicious! And the offer seconds! But you might not even need another serving. The ambiance was cozy, tucked away in a court yards, the interior is rustic, industrial and cozy. Go!

Went during my honeymoon for our first nice dinner in Berlin, and we couldn't have been happier. Beautiful place, at least when it's a gorgeous June evening and you can eat outside. Drinks were very good and the price was barely more than you'd find in an American city. Food was great, we had the slow-cooked lamb and the pork. Small servings so I'd suggest getting more appetizers than just the delicious goose-fat fries we had.

We absolutely LOVED Katz Orange - the food was great, the ambience was wonderful (good for casual or romantic), the music was terrific, the drinks were yummy, and it was priced well. Super pleased.

Walking up to this place I knew it would be amazing. You come in through a courtyard, getting a glimpse of the restaurant which looks like a manor house. The wine, the appetizers, through dinner and dessert was fantastic! This was one of our favorite restaurants in Berlin!

Obviously this is one of Berlins high Class / pricy options to go for Dinner but really worth it id say. Not only for Food but also for Location, Great Service and Drinks! it's like sitting in a old church! Amazing atmosphere. As it's been Cold outside still we werent able to sit outside but in Summer i would recommend the Terrasse! Service was very much all you d expect it to be in a good Restaurant. they also made it really easy ordering a lowhistamine dish (As i do have some allergies) and the chef improvised a great salmon dish with fennel and quinoa also we had some good Wine. I tried the "Grauburgunder" très bien! wouldnt go there all the time but recommend it for Special Occasions or of you got the Money ^^

Beautiful building, lovely atmosphere. Great for dates! I would make a reservation if going here. The downstairs is darker and more intimate than upstairs but the upstairs is better lit with a more welcoming vibe. The food is great! Good for sharing. We ordered the French fries with the 7 herb dip and the lamb for two.

This place knows about setting the mood for an awesome experience. From entering the courtyard to be seated , there is so much attention to details it was refreshing. The server was very knowledgeable about both the food and the beverage menu. I actually went with his suggestions for my entire meal. The menu has vegetarian options which is a plus plus in my book . They encourage family style dining but that was not going to happen today because I don't eat meat and lamb was ordered . I ordered the vegetarian option which was the cornbread. The drinks were on points , we got cocktails . The food was tasty with layers of flavors happily playing in your mouth. Desserts were interesting and I will leave it at that. The service was 5 star all the way. I highly recommend this place. They have outdoor seating as well as three dinner room areas. Reservation is recommended.

A little gem in the fashionable Mitte, Katz Orange is popular! So popular - without a reservation you would be pretty lucky to get a table without a reservation... Thankfully, on my second attempt I scored a seat at the bar overlooking the kitchen, which is actually my favourite posi to waffle to the bartenders, check out the kitchen, and admittedly also check out the cute blond waitress who is way out of my league. First wine is a 2009 Nunci Granache from Spain. Something not quite right about it, and the sommelier agreed. Second glass is a young 2014 Syrah, from Les Garrigues which is fine, but nothing to write home about. The lovely bar lads come back excitedly with the first wine opened fresh from upstairs and it is a completely different wine - absolutely superb! Onto the food... The Quail with rhubarb entree is okay, love the mix of flavors, but he quail is over cooked and quantity lacking in the sea of green leaves and rhubarb. The signature piece of Duroc Pork with a side of smoked Rutabaga Purée is simply the reason this place gets 4 stars (aside from the cute waitress and overall friendly staff). Normally a dish for two, there was no problem by the staff with catering for little old me, and it was worth it. Slow cooked meats can be pretty dry, this was succulent, tender and superbly slow cooked! Staff friendliest I have found, chilled environment, smokin slow cooked pork and a sommelier that doesn't have a stick up his ass, makes for a really really nice evening.... Gold Fashioned and cheesecake finish was probably my poor match. The gold fashioned was so strong you could power a plane with it and the cheesecake is good, but pretty poorly matched by them with shitty icy sorbet... We will all take blame on that one... Overall 4 stars - great main, wonderful staff and cool ambience...

Incredibly passion-filled experience. The bartender comes to the table and makes sure your drinks are perfect. The food is creative and thoughtful. It feels like each ingredient is freshly harvested for the meal. Could not recommend more. We have been traveling through Europe for weeks and this was our number 1 meal.

This is a must visit destination in Berlin, especially for those that enjoy great cocktails in addition to great food--all in a beautiful setting. I've been here four times over the course of two trips to Berlin. During each trip I visited Katz Orange a couple of nights later after having a fantastic experience during the first visit. I've taken several groups of colleagues to Katz Orange, and every single one of them raved about the experience. The slow cooked meats and sides are consistently good, but the cocktails are why I keep going back.

Yesterday evening i visit the restaurant again. The first time me and my husband enjoyed the restaurant very much. Unfortunately yesterday visit was disappointed for us. The food was simple , the course were small. The sides were simple and boring. The price was high according to the food we eat. The service was bad. We won't come back and definitely won't recommend the place any more.

This place is gorgeous, there's no going around that. It has that rare beauty that is both old world and new, quiet and understated and then all of a sudden cheery and hip. I wandered into this unassuming courtyard one day in Mitte and vowed to go back. And I went back in style. Friday night without reservations at this buzzing place meant that my friend and I were at the bar for about 20 minutes. But we received incredible service. Everyone, from the hostess to the bar men to the waitresses, were very helpful and friendly. I started with a light champagne and my friend got the mezcal mule, which was deep and spicy and highly recommended. Our appetizers were delicious as well. I've never had calamaretti so tender and fresh; the dill and fava beans tasted like spring in Berlin (and no, I cannot eat any more asparagus here, there's too much this season or something). The grilled prawn actually convinced me that guacamole can work with maracuya - it was also a fresh dish, brighter tasting than the luxuriously succulent calamaretti. We finally moved to a table and had the whole living room to admire. It really feels like you're at a big ski lodge party with very attractive Berliners. My partner got the slow roasted beef and I got the tuna tartare. Here was the massive fail for me. While my friend adored his meat, I suffered through what must have been the most mediocre tartare in my life. I instantly regretted not getting an entree instead of the appetizer; maybe they would have put more creativity into the entrees? This tartare came with a completely plain salad and also boiled carrots and potatoes. It literally have a bad name to all tartare - and I've had incredible tartare in overall mediocre restaurants, so this was a huge shock considering what I was expecting from Katz Orange based on the earlier appetizers. I managed to focus my attention on our lovely bottle of red, the great atmosphere, friendly hip crowd, and then the gorgeously presented and subtle tasting peanut cheesecake that left me feeling like all is good in the world. Do come here for the cocktails, creative dishes, and wonderful service. Just don't get that tartare.

It's a hip restaurant. I'm not German, but I found this place quite local. We had couple of beers and white wines. They recommended SLOW CUISINE but we didn't feel like meat by then. So we ordered smoked salmon and a really nice salad (sweet and refreshing) as appetizer. Then we ordered 3 sides: roasted root vegetables, swede purée and fries with goose fat as main courses. The dessert was pretty good. We had the selection of six chocolates / cookies. I'd love to try the fruit wine marinated chocolate cake next time. We had a reservation for 9:30pm. But we showed up an hour early and they kindly had us seated. The entrance was really pretty, though it was kind of confusing. The servers were really nice, helpful, and capable. We had a really good time here.

drinks - great. inventive cocktails. nicely executed. appetizers: mussels - good. duck - yes!!! small portion but this one slaps fries - ???? was excited for this cause i love duck fat fries. is goose fat just tasteless? these seemed like just normal basic fries. skip. we got coerced into getting a side by the waiter (um excuse me we r 3 small azns ok lol) so we got the lettuce which was UM.... lol. they put raw ass mushrooms in there WHAT then we opted for the pulled pork even though none of us like pulled pork - bc it's the 'signature' dish and OH BOY LEMME TELL YOU NOW this is not good lol idk you germans are cray cray this was sooooo bland and dry oh my god we couldn't even finish half of it lmao and the cost is PER PERSON? scam. anyways. it's a cute spot for a date but for the love of god do Not Get the Pork

We had a nice evening out at this cool Berlin restaurant. It's tucked away in the back of a smal courtyard. The waitstaff were young, hip and fluent in English. Wine by the glass was inexpensive. My wife started off with the bean salad, which was OK . I liked the smoked trout very much. My wife had the vegetarian quiche, which was OK. My daughter and I shared short ribs for two, which was cooked sous vide. It was excellent. We had a side of very good arugla salad. The french fries and home made ketchup were really good, too. Fun restaurant, great vibe, good to very good food and service. I would definitely go back.

The pork. Candy on bone. Seriously melts in your mouth. Fried mushrooms, corn, fries, all delicious. The outstanding desserts were just the right amount of sweetness. One fish dumpling item was a pass - odd texture and flavor. Incredibly helpful sommelier Josh introduced us to some great wines. Very friendly waiter with efficient service. Great ambiance and food - spoons up.

Very cute, romantic place. Food was wonderful. We shared the slow roasted pork& it melted in your mouth. We also had the perfectly cook salmon. Delicious! Staff was very friendly.

Fun little spot!! Food was really good and service excellent.

It is cheating the customer. The dish is charged by person. For example, I seew the mutton on the menu is 24 euro. I ordered it. Finally I was charged for 2 persion. Totall 24×2 = 48 euro. That is cheating. And I called the police. It is disaster restaurant I ever see.

The food and ambience were exceptional. We ordered the lamb for 2. It was fabulous. Cuisine was a Mediterranean fusion . We loved it.

For our main dinner in Berlin, we made a reservation at Katz Orange. The entrance is inside a plaza of sorts - similar to what we had encountered at other places - so you have a view of what could almost pass as a smaller church steeple as you walk towards the entrance. It does appear that if the weather cooperates, there might be outdoor seating of some kind as well (on a cold, rainy December night, that definitely was not an option). Once inside, you find a really cozy, fun space - some seating in the front that is more on couches and sofas; a small bar that is centered around a support beam in the building (and lined with all kinds of liquor); and a small dining room in the back that has a little bit of red lighting across the top against black wallpaper. In short - very unique and very Berlin. The only situation I wasn't a fan of was the coat check; while our coats were taken for us, we had to go to the coat racks outside the bathrooms and figure out where they had been put. If we are going to fetch our own coats, we might as well put them there ourselves (which seemed to be what folks were doing when we headed out). Although the food here is excellent, one has to start with the drinks. There's a number of fine cocktail choices, ranging from things like negronis with a faint hint of peanut (really enjoyable) to a drink like 'Mahalo to India', which can bring a punch but has a nice dash of spices and herbs infused into the beverage as well. For anyone who loves their alcohol, this place surely knows how to showcase it. The food, though...what to say? The French fries are a must; I really enjoyed the thick heartiness that they had, with the duck fat being subtly present in the aftertaste but not hitting you right on. I honestly didn't care for either the ketchup (which was homemade and a bit watery) or the avocado dip, but the fries were great on their own. Both the mussels and the burrata were delicious outright, but I enjoyed that both had a bit more personality than they are typically served with. The lemongrass and coriander gave the mussels and its broth a bit more character, while the Cajun spices and pesto made the burrata quite aromatic. The white beans were also a great touch, as their meatiness was a nice contrast to the creaminess of the cheese. For our main, one must do the slow-cooked meats - no questions about it. Our lamb was insanely flavorful, with each bite being juicy and tender and the meat simply falling apart into strands of deliciousness. The tomato and artichoke are there, but it's the cumin that does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of providing the rich flavor and faintly spicy tastiness. To finish off, we split the petit fours, which, as I learned when we ate them, didn't simply double four bites but instead added more things to try. I really enjoyed the fruit-based ones (e.g. the macaron, the chocolate with berries in the middle) the best, but all were very good and not too heavy. You'll love the ambiance as soon as you step inside, but both the food and the drinks are done fantastically at Katz Orange, and it's a spot that is not to be missed when dining in Berlin. I can't wait to come back and have another meal here!

My brother in law gave us a gift certificate to eat here as a gift so we definitely indulged. We got the slow cooker lamb (for 2), two sides (French fries and root vegetables), the cheesecake, medium petit four dessert, three beers and a bottle of water. Everything was impeccable, but fair warning - the meat is pretty heavy and we practically rolled ourselves home from being so full. Without a gift certificate, we probably would have skipped dessert or only gotten one side to share between the 2 of us. The atmosphere is amazing. Low lights, candle lit dinner, and a pretty little vase with flowers at every table. The service was great - our waitress was really polite and spoke perfect English. Our food came out really quickly.

This gem was recommended to us by a local waiter at another restaurant. Trying to find the place was a little difficult at night (and after a few drinks), but the journey will add to the pleasure when you find it. Great spot for groups, food, drinks and staff were great. Would highly recommend.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, cozy, and inviting. My server was attentive, friendly, and helpful with recommendations. The food was tasty, but the portions are among the smallest I've ever seen. I had the herb salad starter (fine) and slow roasted pork main (delicious but tiny portion served in a small dish alongside 2 cauliflower florets and a few crispy onions). (The pork main is meant to serve 2, but the waiter kindly allowed me to order a half portion since I was alone.) I had to scarf down all the bread because I was hungry by the end of the meal. The woman eating next to me also commented to her server about the small portion sizes. The prices are quite high (the small serving of pork was 22 EUR, the sparkling water was 6,20, etc.). Items ordered: gin and tonic, sparkling water, herb salad, slow roasted pork, americano. Total cost: approx. 45 EUR.

Went there for the second time and I doubt that I will come back for a full meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the cocktails are amazing. It's the food that kept me disappointed again. It is simply overpriced for what it is. The supposedly famous fries were just bland, and my 18 Euro cauliflower was a sad old veggie. We did not eat the meat as 2 people need to order it. It seems to me that the restaurant is not really for Berliners (I am one). We are used to mediocre food in restaurants, just not for those hefty prices.

Five stars for food, 4 for service. I recently traveled to Berlin on business. Whenever I do get the chance, I like to seek out the best local fares possible. The ones that are off the beaten path, serve not so standard food, and offer a little bit of ambiance I can't get anywhere else. Katz Orange offered all of those things. Before that I had a hard time finding any sort of restaurant I enjoyed that offered anything better than a decent currywurst. I reserved a table for two online but ran late in making my reservation after finishing up a city tour late. They let go of my reservation as guessed, but seemed to have plenty of open tables available. We asked the hostess if we could still get in, and they said they had availability at the bar, so we took it. I normally don't care about sitting at the bar to eat dinner, because hey! usually results in faster service. In this case scenario however, it mainly led to faster drink service than food as we waited a good 15 minutes before anyone came to us with menus before I decided to give in and just ask the bartender for help. We didn't the change to try the Katz Orange lamb as we hoped because they ran out, so it your wagon is hitched to that star make an earlier reservation than we did. We were however able to order the pulled short ribs and I found that I probably enjoyed that more. Do not pass on the sauce served with it. Other winners were the duck fat fries and my favorite of the meal was the hibiscus margarita, or which we both had to have two rounds.

The restaurant is wonderful decorated. I really like it. The chandelier in the entry hall is just great. The waiter is friendly but could speak better german or english. It was quite difficult to understand him with his spanish/italian accent. The prices are incredible high for the offered service and definitely not worth it. we were 4 person and spend 190 € nevertheless we were still hungry after leaving the place. we had a couple of starters two times dishes for 2 persons which include reordering - the reording portions are ridicolous small and another main dish The quality of the meat is good but size/quality is not worth this price. Will not go there again unless I want to impress somebody and I am not really hungry.

Stunning location, beautiful crowd, good (good, not great) food and delicious cocktails.. You can't get wrong at Katz Orange. Very popular place so be sure to make a reservation in advance..

I dropped on pretty late on a Saturday after the opera, expecting to be turned away for not having a reservation, but I was seated at the bar in less than 5 minutes and had an incredible night. The wine list and cocktail menu are top notch, the proteins are slow cooked and super tender, the vegetables and side are just impossibly well done. There was even a DJ spinning funk, soul, and Motown. I can't wait to go back.

Fantastic location for our final evening in Berlin. The 2nd floor dining room is the place to be. There were a lot of large groups but that did not detract at all from our enjoyment. Fantastic wine a suggestions from "my colleague who knows more about wine". A real neighborhood find for those looking to get out of the tourist traps.

Amazing atmosphere. We had the group meal and it was so much food. Fresh ingredients and amazing taste. Very much recommend.

Cosy casual elegance in the heart of Mitte. We ordered the slowed cooked lamb and pork dishes with creamed corn and sweet potato mash. Hearty,filling, and tasty. Highly recommend for a relaxed dining experience.

Very beautiful location tucked in an alleyway off of Torstrasse. The dining areas are divided into several smaller rooms over at least two floors - this helps cut down on noise, as almost every table was full on a recent Friday night, yet no one at our table had to raise their voices to be heard. Service was also very good in contrast to reviews we had read on other sites. The location and ambiance is suitable to a romantic date or a somewhat lager group of good friends. Food had lots of potential, but needs more oversight to be worth the hefty price. Our field greens tasted a little dirty, probably could have used another washing to get rid of some grains of dirt. The slow cooked pork was also a little dry, and the accompanying sides (potatoes, pickled cucumbers, onions) could have used something a little more colorful (green vegetable) to better round out the plate. The venison was a big hit - was cooked perfectly and very tasty, with an interesting number of vegetables and other bite-sized tastes decorating the plate. The steak tartar was also nicely done. The dessert list had a lot to offer - we ordered two and enjoyed both, but nothing to write home about. A big disappointment however was my cocktail - I had read on local blogs that Katz Orange was well known for its bartenders, but was horrified to see my sazerac served in a glass full of ice with a straw, which I'm pretty sure is a major no-no for this type of drink. Not sure if this was intentional in order to add a house flare or not, so i decided to give it a chance rather than sending it back, but it certainly kills everything good about this drink. the ice makes it difficult to sip and eventually waters down the rye, and the straw is a cheap addition to an 11 euro drink that also obscures the absinthe aroma. I'd be curious to know if this was their intention (and whether the other cocktails are similarly misinterpreted) or whether it was made by a new and poorly trained staff member.

Wow, this place is something special. You make a turn into this courtyard and boom there it is, red brick, lush green ivy and all. You walk inside and it feels special and unique. The menu is made of cardboard and holding everything in place by a bent knife and fork. The food sounds fantastic! We are still waiting on our bottle of red wine and the food. So I'm gonna jump the gun and say, just try it for yourselfenjoy

Excellent restaurant. The food and wine was just perfect. We really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Food was lacking originality and flavour considering our bill was over 120eur for two people. "Carlo's Vegetable Terrine" was bland, "German Saltwater Prawn" appetizer was 2 small grilled prawns on top of maybe 4 chopped snap peas with on the side a cup full of what tasted like melted butter. Beef tartare was pretty good, served with a kind of hazelnut purée, however the portion (for 12eur) was about the size of a ping pong ball. Duck fat fries didn't taste so special. Pulled shortribs had a nice flavour but I expected more for the price, this dish corresponds to what you might get in a pretty basic barbecue joint, not a supposedly gourmet restaurant. (Would recommend the short ribs from Cordobar instead!) No dessert for me, tried to avoid more disappointment. Service is good for Berlin and terrace is nice, but maybe this place is better for drinks. That said, I would not go back.

Searching for good restaurants when international can be very, very difficult. As I soon found out, when I was looking for a place that was decently-nice, reasonable-priced, and light-on-the-ice (I don't know what that means either, I just wanted it to rhyme). Tip #1: Quaint, cute interior. It's nestled at the end of a little courtyard. Tip #2: Accepts online reservations, which is especially useful for foreign travelers like me with no cellular plan. Overall: Delicious food, good vibes. Reasonable fancy while still keeping a homey environment.

So much has already been written. Loved the atmosphere, the friendliness and casual feeling associated with a tinge of luxury - when considering the wine list, which by the way is splendid. Its a different way to dine and works well for any occasion

Walking in from a quiet street, you emerge into a magically intimate courtyard filled with fresh vibed up-and-comers consuming excellent cocktails and meat candy. The appetizers (burrata, ceviche) were delicious, the eggplant addicting, and the ribs mouthwatering. Good wine recommendations from our waiter, who unfortunately misled us in several circumstances (probably due to something lost in translation), and a perfect homegrown negroni. I'd take friends and business here any night.

Beautiful restaurant. Great cocktails. Super yummy food! Yes, it is far from cheap, and yes they charge for ketchup and mayo, but what can I say - I love the food and the posh atmosphere is also a fun change from the hipster Berlin I usually like. Only every now and then...

Found the recommendation from Wine & Food magazine and loved it! The vibe here is vibrant and chic. A great cocktail program that features a house infused vodka with bacon fat to make a 'New' Old Fashion! Great idea! We were offered to be seated outside but we waited at the bar to have a round of cocktails first. The outdoor seating is definitely the preferred settings as the weather was perfect. We ordered the soup with scallops, was delicious. The venison was cooked well. It was well worth a 10 Euro taxi ride. Recommend.

One of the best meals we have had in Berlin. It started with cocktails from the specialty menu. The bartender was a Doctor of Mixology. He had sprays, sprigs, mists and a host of special recipes. Quite a treat to watch him work his magic. The meal was just delicious, The wives were able to have vegetarian dishes that were quite unique. My buddy and I split the lamb shoulder. It was so tender and sweet.! We ordered all the sides, which each one was better than the next. Can't rave enough about the Chef and his staff, Real talented wait staff and the vibe was outstanding.

I loved the place: the food, the atmosphere and the staff! The busy Thursday night was one best experiences dining in Europe. Me and y mom were so happy after leaving we turned back and had one more drinks at the bar! Go here!
