Franconian food in the heart of former east Berlin's Friedrichshain neighborhood. Franconian…read morecuisine is a specific regional identity belonging to the region of Franconia. Think Southern Germany. It is a subtype of German cuisine with many similarities to Bavarian cuisine and Swabian cuisine. I happen to have been to these regions many times over and love the food, though I did know the provinces and the proper names. The smoked pork is roasted to crisp, the sausage orgy dish is funny named and is not for the faint of the heart (it's huge in size). Fried chicken is better than most of American fried chicken, and the potato pancakes are perfect. They are all HUGE in portion and completely wonderful for left over take-outs. When I checked in it had a check in special, but seeing that I did not need that special for coffee, the store owner brought me local sausages as free appetizers. It was quite lovely. For dessert, they had kaiserschmarrn and I ordered it, which I've not had since Prague 2012 and Austria 2001. So that was nice surprise. Fantastic service to boot. The price is extremely reasonable (for Americans anyway). Sometime like this will likely double in price in America. Can't finish them all so I had box to take away. The place attract tourists for reasons I don't know. Or maybe everyone just read the English Yelp reviews and come here. I would love to come back for more.

This was my first meal alone in Berlin and I made ALL of classic American tourist mistakes: didn't…read moreseat myself, didn't tip enough, left the tip on the table, etc. Despite behaving like an idiot baby, I very much enjoyed this meal! I sat on the patio and would recommend this, weather permitting. Next door is a little flower shop so my table was adjacent to some nice plants which really added to it all. I ordered a beer...two beers.... and a pork loin served with potato dumpling, gravy and a side of red cabbage. True, classic German food. It was INCREDIBLE. The pork was perfectly juicy throughout and crispy on top--it just fell off the bone. I sat there for way too long because I was savoring the meal too much. The service was good-- much better than the tip I left reflected. I think that there was some service included in the bill, but I still feel bad.

Stunningly lovely meal here, the perfect spot on a day trip through Potsdam. Both the Frische pasta…read moreand the salmon I'd easily recommend. The safe butter and truffle filling with the pasta is irresistible. But then the salmon cucumbers and cauliflower mash make for an equally irresistible combo.

Kudos to the cozy interior and mulled wine. You definitely feel like you are in someone's home,…read moreand the food is also homestyle. The menu is extensive, there is a lot to choose from. I ordered a nice piece of pork with a mushroom sauce on top, the pork was cooked well and was a big portion but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. Hubs got a simple but very good piece of chicken breast. It came with fries which were greasy and had a fast food taste to them. We ordered the Broccoli Gratin and it was more like a broccoli cheese soup, I wouldn't recommend that. I would recommend the mulled wine. This was the most perfect warm cocktail for a cold Berlin night. I had three glasses! Our server was very nice and accommodating. They are opened late and if you are looking for an extensive menu with large portions that lean more towards being like fast food then this is your place!

Very delicious! Staff was very nice to us Americans. Had the snails in herb butter. Gruman platter,…read moremeatloaf with goat cheese was AMAZING (starts with "P" on the international menu). If you are visiting Checkpoint Charlie, Topography of Terror, Jewish Museum, go here! Also can confirm good portion sizes.

Hidden gem! This place lies within the somewhat less known Weißensee neighborhood. It's a great…read morespot and the food is super! Not only that, here the people understand what hospitality means. From welcoming you to being able to pay with a card (uncommon in Berlin). Seasonal dishes (now it's game) done very well for great prices. I really can't find a negative thing in reviewing this place. Go here and not regret it! Even though it's not in "posh" P'Berg but a few tram stops further a trip here is good and you can also combine it with a nice little nature walk around the Weißensee park.
