Weiner Schnitzel is incredibly good; well seasoned and perfect light crispy batter. Meat is pounded thin enough and tender. Spaetzle and onions are flavorful and done perfectly but just a bit too greasy. The onions cover the delicate flavor of the spaetzle so it's best to have them separately (though it's not traditional). The trout is whole and flaky and moist. It's filleted at the table on request (they ask). It was done beautifully. The parsley potatoes are a fine side. The cucumber salad needs a bit more vinegar, but otherwise fine. The apple strudel is fantastic. Don't miss it. We had a Wednesday reservation, but we would have got in anyway. The mains are the star of the meal, and make it worth the visit!

One waiter took pity on us & said he'd arrange a table, much to the clear irritation of the guy apparently in charge. Once seated, our server waited on us promptly, but it was hard to get past the jerk at the front. Next time, we'll go somewhere else, it's not like you can't swing a dead cat in Berlin & find a place that serves German food or cake & coffee. Meanwhile, a guy sitting alone at a table for 4 with an empty coffee cup when we got there, left his table as we were leaving and his 8€ receipt was on the table- so they'd give up a 125€ table rather than discourage remote work warriors... interesting customer service & economic plan, I wish them well with both.

4.5 stars! Ottenthal was one of the restaurants I discovered while in Berlin. In particular, what…read morecaught my attention was the fact that it offered, by far, the best schnitzel in Berlin! So, given I was in Germany..and even though I never really dream of eating schnitzel days and nights, I had to stop by this place! I particularly liked that the restaurant offered pretty much very natural/no chemicals food. Everything was fresh and, shall I say, natural/organic...and they were committed to those types of ingredients. I also liked that despite a higher price point than most restaurants in Berlin, the staff were polite, friendly and relatable..and not a stucked up place at all! Now, when it came to the food, I loved all my dishes! The pumpkin soup was so fresh and Devine! The schnitzel..wow..shall I say, crisp and thin..and not oily at all! Eating it together with the side potato salad that was a lil sour and sweet made it a good combination without additional condiments for sure! Lastly, the Baumkuchen was wonderful! I had so much food that night that I ended up having to order Baumkuchen to go..and I was not disappointed at all! Good to try all the good things while in Berlin! Overall, I highly recommend Ottenthal! Sure, as the name suggested, Ottenthal is Austrian town..but hey..schnitzel can also be German! Go try it and you'd taste the differences between this vs other places! Just some minor half star off was due to price (it's slightly high compared to other options out there in Berlin for sure.but hey..tasted sehr gut!!), restrooms are down a set of stairs (pretty common for German restaurants..but I have no ideas how Germany deals with accessibility for disabled population!) and finally..the place is rather small..so make sure to make some reservations so you won't be disappointed if you showed up but couldn't get in!

The Foreign Affairs title is a theme of the restauraunt, with a big JFK presence in photos etc (He was one of the US presidents during the Cold War) The overall feel of this place is quite posh, high-end, a litle like a wedding reception in terms of decor. It seemed really quiet too The overall service was slow, especially in terms of getting sat down with menus etc, the staff didn't have a fantastic knowledge of gluten-free, infact it was quite poor to the point where jf they want positive Foreign Affairs, the staff should probably stay as far away as possible. Poor service for multiple reasons and other factors sadly help me feel Restauraunt Foreign Affairs in Berlin deserves a one-star rating.

So we tried the Schnitzel veal and Beef Ghoulash. Schnitzel is basically thinly sliced beef, breaded and fried. It wasn't tasty, kinda bland with a side of mashed potatoes. The Ghoulash is similar to a beef pot roast, with a dumpling. BTW this dumpling is different from what I was accustomed to ie in dimsum places. This dumpling is like a big meatball but made of flour. We finished with apple streudel. We were hesitant to try these dishes since we came, but as the saying goes "You gotta try everything once, especially since we're in Germany" Service was friendly and fast, will we try it again? Probably not.
