We have been looking for a worthy last night in Berlin event with the family - and the Zitadellen…read moreSchänke fully took up the challenge.
Reservation was easy and painless by phone the same day. When we arrived, we entered a setting worth to be called a knights night out. Rustique tables and chairs (not scoring by being overly comfortable) along with very authentic decoration made the setting intriguing and inviting at the same time.
The friendly service guys guided us to our 5 seater table and lighted some candles on the authentic candle holder. We started with the "burning tower" drink, a spectacular aperitif that mostly scored by the fireworks around it. The drink itself, a mix of O-juice and some sort of Campari or alike, was tasty, but not spectacular. A nice gesture is that they also offered an alcohol free version for kids or the dedicated driver.
We tried the salad with bacon wrapped goat cheese as a starter, which turned out to be superp amd a definitive "secret tip". As the main course we selected Wallenstein's Plate for four as the youngest guest on the table was happy to share. This approch was not only supported, but encouraged by the friendly service staff. This actually reflects the kid friendly atmosphere of the place which found to be a big plus.
The Wallenstein plate itself was very good. A good size pan offered a delicious ratatouille like veggy mix with excellent beef and meat variations.
The variety of drinks, specially wine is limited, but what they have is good quality.
All in all, this turned out to be a wonderful evening with the family in a medieval and fun setting! Good to come back on a future trip!
