Super glad we found this in Berlin! The pastries are divine, and everything was just very flavorful and light. We came around 9:30am on a Sunday (opening time), and within an hour the place was rightfully packed. Pro tip: the mimosas are made with fresh OJ and prosecco, so fresh you can taste the pulp. read more

Hallmann & Klee - interior - Cafes Near Me - Berlin, BE

Came here for dinner tasting menu. They have regular menu (with 2 add ons for their signature dishes), veggie menu, wine pairing (were all white wines when we ate), no regular cocktail bar menu. Vibe inside is very modest, nothing special. Nice open kitchen. We opted for regular tasting menu. Presentation was excellent, taste was a bit mixed. I felt they were a bit experimental and a lot of flavors were a bit overpowering. Wasn't my favorite tasting menu I had and would not really recommend based on my taste. If you want traditional style tasting then not this, if you want to try more experimental then maybe give it a try. read more

This restaurant was far from the city center and difficult to get to. It took us over an hour with traffic. Upon arrival, there was no host and we had to grab a staff member for attention. After we were seated, we were immediately asked to add oysters before even taking our drinks order. We politely declined. We chose the non-vegetarian menu with an added potato course. Every course tasted flavorful and unique on their own, but we didn't feel connected with the food or service (1 star off). Various staff members stopped by to drop off and describe our dishes, but it seemed like they were going off a script rather than being interested in our experience. We were frequently asked if we want to add a wine or cocktail pairing to each dish, even though we said we were fine with just one drink. The kitchen is open, so you can observe some of the staff working. The cook who grilled the beef used his fingers to touch the beef, *licked* them, and returned to handling the beef (1 star off). I was disgusted by this, but did not know enough German to raise this with the staff. The beef course only had one small piece, centrally cut, so maybe the risk of getting that cook's fingers and saliva was minimal?! Overall, service was pretty slow. We could not wait to leave any faster. read more

I adore this place. It is my favorite breakfast place in Berlin and the best pancakes I've ever eaten. They are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside I have no idea how they pull that off. I've only ever been here for breakfast so I can't judge their dinner menu. If you want to come here for breakfast on the weekend you should be prepared for a waiting period of up to one hour. It is absolutely worth it though. A++ read more

This is, hands down, my favourite restaurant in Berlin. I've been here three times, once on a date, once with friends, and once with visiting parents, and all experiences were flawless. The atmosphere is easy-going, the staff are smart and offer interesting suggestions without up-selling. Their chanterelle dishes in early August were perfect, burst in your mouth chanterelles, and the spargel dishes in May were delicate, juicy, super fresh dishes. I think the best thing about this place is that they take these perfect ingredients, and make slightly strange and surprising dishes out of them, without ever letting you lose track of that very specific joy of a crisp, fresh bite of something just picked or caught. read more

This is a little bit of Chez Panisse in an unlikely corner of Neukölln. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors are subtle yet adventurous. The menu changes based on the availability of ingredients, so there's a reason to keep coming in over the course of the season. It's quiet enough for an intimate lunch or a business meal, and attractive yet almost entirely unpretentious. Hallmann und Klee is a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Had delicious, beautifully presented lunch in a nondescript part of Berlin. The ambiance is airy and modern. Loved my squash soup with coconut cream - generously portioned and silky smooth topped with crispy squash (6 Euros). Green salad w/ radishes and pumpkin seeds was very fresh (8 Euros). I stole many bites of my hubby's braised ox cheeks and super creamy mashed potatoes (14 Euros). A meal of this quality would cost at least 30% more in San Francisco. Highly recommend! read more

Happened upon this cafe en-route to a park and I'm so glad I stopped in. Even though we just had breakfast, I couldn't resist ordering a slice of their beautiful double layer poppyseed cake with a not too sweet filling, it was cake perfection. I also ordered a cappuccino and it was also good. I sat close to the kitchen and saw all the beautiful plates coming out and I wished I had a second stomach, everything smelled good and plated beautifully. I'm definitely coming back next time I visit Berlin. read more

Hallmann & Klee - Cake perfection, just the right amount of sweetness, moist, loaded with poppy seeds, and a perfect filling, a hint of sweet and tang. - Cafes Near Me - Berlin, BE

How I love this place! Great exquisite cuisine at normal prices! If I am one day to open a place myself it would have exactly this mixture of great ingredients, love for the dishes and laid back interior! Must try!!! The current seasonal dish, white asparagus with lamb is endulging! read more

Hallmann & Klee - Small breakfast! - Cafes Near Me - Berlin, BE

the first thing you notice coming here is the carefully designed, airy interior in a completely renovated space right on böhmischer platz - not what you'd normally expect from this part of town, but perhaps a sign of things to come for old rixdorf. it seemed pretty popular already on their first sunday, but having just moved in, their menu is small for now (and the facade outside is still under construction). will get better and better i'm sure! read more

Brand new place. It has a clean and natural modern look with an open kitchen where the owners are cooking up Flammküchen and risotto. The Flammküchen's good stuff-went for veggie and wasn't disappointed. Crispy edges rounding off a small rectangular nod to Italy. Prices for dinner are great, but they close too early, at least for now. Their desserts, however, are a bit pricy, but worth it if you like soft chocolate pieces of joy. I must admit that I do. They've got a sheer black piece, moon-shaped and sprayed with gold that is killer. As in I think I would probably kill for it. Darin is a chocolate mousse, touched by a kiss of caramel, over a thin sole of coconut, and centered by a single fresh and proud raspberry. I would recommend an afternoon here in the sun outside with a book and a ping pong racket. Or maybe call them and see if they'll deliver if you're too lazy to get out of bed. It's always worth a shot. read more

We made a long trek to have breakfast in Berlin. Special gem in a quiet neighborhood. Poached eggs with salmon were perfectly cooked. Warm banana bread with quark and berries were outstanding. Attentive wait staff. NEw York Times recommendation - a sure bet it's good. It was wonderful. read more
