This German restaurant is one of the few in the Northern part outside of Berlin that specialize on…read morewild boar, deer, duck, goose, and fish dishes. LOCATION: 4 stars The restaurant is located right next to lake Gorinsee. Nice views (see pictures) included. You can also walk around the lake and through the forest which will take you about 30-40 minutes. In the summer there are several small beaches, mostly crowded though. FOOD: 3 stars We went for the Christmas menu and ordered Wildschweinfilet mit Klößen (wild boar with dumplings), Gänsekäule (leg of goose), and Zanderfilet (pike-perch filet with potatoes). All dishes came with traditional red and green cabbage on the side. The meat was super soft and tasty, so were the potatoes and the dill sauce for the fish. 18.90 for the main dish was a bit pricey though. As a starter we got the Pilzsuppe (mushroom soup), which to my surprise was watery and had bacon in it, hence a strong taste of pork, which I disliked. Dessert was okay - vanilla ice with hot cranberries, a nice and refreshing combination. AMBIENTE: 2 stars As it was pointed out in the German reviews, if you're seated in the Wintergarten it doesn't really feel like a restaurant, more like you're sitting in a train station. It looks like most seats are not in the actual restaurant but in the attached Wintergarten, so chances are high you end up there. Sit inside if you can. If you plan on driving up North out of Berlin for some meat dishes you might also want to try the restaurant Waldschänke am Rahmersee - similar concept but better atmosphere.

With is much tastier! I suggest to try it! There's also a fun playground just down the street from here. I suggest to make a stop at the playground and then head here for a quick snack and a beer. Taste Berlin's history! :)

The 1920s interior makes you feel like you're at a classier version of home (my home at least), especially when the fire is roaring during winter and you can hang up your coat in the garderobe beside the door. I have had the breakfast buffet here on Sunday many times and it is always wonderful food although getting a coffee to go with it can be a bit slow.

The Feuerbach restaurant in Steglitz is located off the beaten path and close to a huge shopping…read morestreet in Berlin (Schlossstrasse). It is on the ground floor of an Art deco building and has a small dining room and quaint outdoor patio that is framed by a hedge. Besides its popularity as breakfast venue it is known for a Mediterranean and modern German fare with a weekly changing menu. The French breakfast is EUR 4.50, an average entrée around EUR 10-15. The café/restaurant can be recommended for breakfast before an excessive shopping spree, for lunch in between or to let the day fade out after your shopping spree. + Cute little restaurant and café off the beaten path, + yummy breakfast choices

Great place to stop for an afternoon beer. After a day of sightseeing, my friend and I came here…read moreand I ordered a pilsner and some french fries. Imagine my disappointment when I found out their deep fryer was broken! However, the quick thinking waitress recommended the pan fried potatoes with scallions and bacon. Being a laid back, easy going American who likes to go with the flow, I said "Sure, let's try it" and I'm glad I did. Those potatoes were so good! Much better than fries would have been. It was nice to sit at the sidewalk table and relax and talk over a beer. Very nice place!

Very filling! Day two we enjoyed the breakfast for two which consisted of three German pancakes with a yummy cream to put on top, various croissants and rolls with butter and preserves, and the tiered presentation of scrambled eggs, various cheeses, fruit, olives, prosciutto, turkey, salmon, and a nice horseradish sauce. Both of us enjoyed the freshness and just the right amount.
