Must haves are the Farmers ham with grated horseradish and pickles as an appetizer. The pumpkin soup was amazing with a hint of curry and the main course was the Wiener schnitzel was the star of the experience. The accompanying potato salad was incredibly delicious as well. Overall a great Austrian dining experience, I highly recommend eating here.

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!

For now they only have cold cuts and other light snacks, but they plan to open a restaurant soon on site. Note: This place is part of the group that owns Rutz wine bar.

Weinverein is a cozy little spot in Rote Insel, and not something I would have known about if I…read moredidn't have friends in the area because it's hidden away from the busier parts of the neighborhood, more like a local spot (or so it seems). It's small inside, but the corner location gives it a lot of space outside for tables, so long as the weather isn't bad. I love the cozy, rustic vibe, which is perfect for small get-togethers with friends or a romantic meetup for a date. The wine list strikes me as comprehensive, though noticeably missing are alcohol-free wine selections -- a couple of those would be nice. There are also lots of snack options like cheese plates, a selection of veggies (with something for the vegans) and even flammkuchen for those a bit hungrier. I didn't try anything but might if I come back and am hungry. There are also some beer and soda options on the menu. Service was kind of hit and miss. In the beginning, the person working was quite attentive, but as the night went on and it got busier, one of our orders was forgotten, so we ended up calling it a night. Regardless, I'd still be down to try it out again. Reservations are available, so I'd especially recommend them in inclement weather.

We showed up without a reservation and maybe :05 before they were open (forgot the damn "open now"…read morebutton, again) but the nice lady seated us outside, and took amazing care of us. One of the best meals I had in Europe, the special, "truffle-pasta with tomato and parmagiano" was so good we had it as a main and again as dessert, lol. If you're in the neighborhood, look for the sweet vw bus and get some wine and nibbles.

You also have good wine. But the prices are just too much for me. The place is nice, and the guys working there are nice too. I'm just always sceptic about places that make you pay so much more because it's french. I was homesick once, went there, got a cheese box, and payed more than a return ticket to paris with Air France (cca 50€ 1 way ) or easyjet ( cca 80/100€ ) both ways... Bottom line : If you don't care about money go there. It's good food, and it's prepared with care and passion, that's for sure.
