No idea if he owned the place at one time or if this is just a love letter. ??? Service was fine, but not extremely attentive. Thankfully the place is small and we could flag them down if we needed something. Wines by the glass are limited but the one red was good. Honestly, however, feel like at least three or four options should be available. Food was a bit mixed. They do a nice table-side presentation for tartare and chateaubriand. We had a special foie gras ravoli that was loaded with black truffle, but was way too al dente and ultimately a disappointment. French Onion Soup was stellar. Tartare was good and accompanied by crispy onions. Steak was good, but chef really over-zealous with the salt. Portions were generous. Overall, it's good, but in our opinion, too pricey for return. Glad we tried it, but would look elsewhere in a future visit to Berlin.

This is a pretty good bistro with great authentic French food, especially their fish soup which is…read moreprobably the best I have had in Berlin. Note that there is nothing very fancy here as they don't do haute cuisine just good French country fare. Atmosphere is a little staid, but not unpleasant. There is a good and not too overpriced wine list which includes some pretty decent claret. Service is calm, polite and quite good. You should head here with business partners or friends to sample probably one of the better French country restaurants in Berlin.

My coworkers and I were so excited to find Vietnamese French restaurant in Berlin that actually…read moretasted good. Since our expectations were really low from several Vietnamese restaurants all over Germany, it was nice to walk into Madame Ngo. Before coming to the restaurant, we noticed that it was on Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant to try. We also noticed that there weren't reservations available online until the next day so we figured that we'd roll the dice and see how long the wait is. As a group we did not want to wait more than two hours in line when we walked in, the wait was only 15 to 20 minutes for a party of four. Score!! For the table, we ordered a papaya salad and summer rolls. The papaya salad had an interesting shredded beef jerky and several slivers of Thai red peppers on top that was a nice touch. The summer rolls were deep fried, but not greasy, and you wrap them on a bed of lettuce and herbs, which gives it a refreshing lighter taste. My main entrée was the fatty brisket pho. This was the highlight of the show. They provide you with a side of two lemon slices and extra Thai chilies. All of us at the table were so happy to find so much flavor and all of our dishes from this tiny hole in the wall in Berlin. We can't wait to return to try something new next time.

The ambience is great inside, with cute decor and good vibes. The service was surprisingly prompt and attentive given our experience with other places in Berlin-- we got our food all in good time with adequate time in between to catch up with the other people we were getting dinner with. The absolute STARS of this meal were the appetizers. The spring rolls were huge and so crispy and came with lettuce to wrap it in. The server also recommended a shrimp dish that we had never had before, so we decided to try it. I have no idea what this dish is because I've never even seen it in NYC, but it was amazing-- toasted bread pieces with shrimp and a cream/cheese-like sauce. It was super indulgent but incredible all the same. The main courses were all in all good. The chicken rice was kinda like a niu rou fan (the minced pork over rice Taiwanese rice dish) but just chicken. It was an interesting serving method-- with the chicken stock on the side. I was a little confused because I wasn't sure if it was supposed to end up as a soup? But no, the rice just absorbs the soup and makes it more flavorful! The pho was a standout only because of the sheer amount of meat they gave us. We got the three beef pho (so brisket, steak, AND meatballs). I have never seen any restaurant be THIS generous with the meat. I split this bowl with my sister and it didn't even seem like I'd eaten any meat when I passed it over to her after eating half. The noodles were a little too al dente for me, but that fact was completely overshadowed by the fact that we got a. ton. of meat. We went to 3 Vietnamese places while in Germany and I'd definitely say this was my favorite!

I'd give 3.5 stars. The fish soup is tasty but in general everything is overpriced…read more There are two types of fish soup: 1) fish soup for 14€ that only consists of flavorful soup 2) fish soup for 32€ which is a normal portion for one person and contains different types of fish. Both are fresh and tasty but again for the portion sizes it's completely overpriced. Normally I expect a fish soup to be 5-7€ and the one with the fish to be around 15-18€ The flammkuchen was disappointing and also overpriced for 14€, you'll get better ones in berlin for 6-7€ elsewhere The steak was tender and flavorful but nothing special. All in all - good taste but overpriced!

The grilled vegetable appetizer was one of the best things I've ever eaten with a slightly tarte glaze and the perfect mix of chanterelles, squash and eggplant.

The filling was not very flavorful and the sauce was canned tomatoes and cream. Pretty meh.

Filled with vegetables but bacon was definitely present. The sardine app was also nice, combined fried and marinated though I thought the pickled vegetables that came with it were too vinegary. If you like beef tartar you'll love their plat- delicious, sizable patty with a raw egg yoke on top, the way it should be. Comes with potatoes lyonnaise, roasted wedges with caramelized onions: addictive, crunchy and rich. The pork confit main was just a good - again quite rich, with a blood sausage, apple tart and plum mouse - an amazing sweet-savory combination. The lemon meringue ice cream is nice, creamy and smooth - I would have liked it a bit tangier but still good. The espresso was excellent as were the lemon madeleines- delicate and scrumptious. The wines are all French and if you don't know French wine it's hard to choose. The waitress recommended a rose that was half frizante, which was ok but wouldn't order it again. The service was good. Prices are more for a special occasion, though definitely worth it.

I was happy to patronize a restaurant with such longtime art associations. We arrived somewhat early for dinner because we'd skipped lunch and were hungry but also thought it might be best to visit before the regular evening dining rush arrived. Unfortunately, upon opening the door and greeting the host, we were told that the kitchen was about to close at 5:00 and they could not seat us. This was a Wednesday night. They are open from noon until 1 AM. There were open tables everywhere inside and outside with perhaps a couple of seated guests. I tried to clarify that we were wanting to eat, and while I can speak some German, it's not 100%, and I thought perhaps I was understanding the opposite - that the kitchen OPENED at 5:00. But no, he was telling me that we couldn't get a meal, that the kitchen was closing. It was very apparent that we were not wanted there as patrons, so we left and had a fabulous multi-course sushi dinner next door. As we left, I could see they had patrons seated at the outside tables, and there were other guests entering and exiting. They were open, they just weren't open for us. I will NEVER go back there and don't recommend other people patronize them if this is their attitude to potential clientele.
