This place is located almost right next to the Capt Koepenik statue, and close to the castle island as well. It's in the basement, and is nicely themed with a jazz style decor. It was like a Berlin Speak Easy in a sense. I ordered off thier regular menu, but they do have specials that are only written in German - so no luck there. I got the crispy perch which sat on a helping of gherkin potato dill salad. the fish was crisp, and moist but did need a dash of salt, but the potato salad (which was served warm, fyi) was darn good. I'd definitely recommend this dish. 3 people in my group got the vegan ravioli, which according to them, tasted like cardboard with the texture of chewing gum - neither of them are vegan, so perhaps they're not used to vegan food lol.

The service was attentive and very nice, she made us feel very welcome and just like arriving home. Even though I am always tempted to go for a Schnitzel, which my boyfriend took in the end, I was being diverted to the dark beer Goulash, which just sounded delicious. After a brief wait we got our food and what can I say, it was delicious! My Goulash was very hearty and the meat was incredibly tender, everything you need on a cold night. My boyfriend was also very happy with his Schnitzel. All in all, we had a great evening with good food. Everything fit together, we felt very welcome and we're definitely coming back!

First of all, surprised that whereas there are currently around a hundred reviews in German, this…read moreis the first in English - probably a bit off the beaten track for visitors? Anyway, there are many reasons to make the trek along the Spree through Treptower Park, not least the pleasant location on the river which is means it's attractive to sit outside on a sunny spring or summer day; or for that matter in the depths of winter when it's really cosy down in the hold or in the "Seepavillon" directly by the water with a cosy open fire. We have visited Klipper in all seasons, and the food is consistently good, with an emphasis on fish and traditional German fare - decently sized portions at a reasonable price. We ordered asparagus as it was in season, but on this visit they actually forgot our order. We were sitting there 25 minutes wondering what had happened when the waitress noticed, apologised profusely, offered us drinks on the house and made sure that our food then arrived as quickly as possible - with an extra portion of fish for good measure. So let's agree that this was unusually friendly and excellent service (which is not always the case in Berlin!) Overall: Klipper comes strongly recommended - we'll be back.

So after passing by on and on, we finally went inside - and it smelled like garlic, just like I was hoping it would be! The place is very intimate, has a nice atmosphere and while we were reading the menus I even giggled a bit, there are nice caricatures and interesting descriptions So we had a starter - garlic cheese bread, which clearly didn't have enough garlic in it. With the beer we got some garlic peanuts which were really tasty. For the main dishes, I had a pleasant surprise - when I checked in through the app, we have received one of the dishes for free :) So we waited a bit, but not too long after the food arrived - and I'm sorry to say... But I wasn't too impressed. Our garlic pasta "Aglio olio", or however you spell it - was far from being the proper pasta and lacked garlic. And our famous "40 tooth chicken" was tasting great, then I got to some cold parts and I thought it got cold because of the salad underneath, and when I got to a frozen part I realized this is not the salad causing this... It's not the kind of thing you expect from a restaurant, and also... As a place which is considered a garlic restaurant, if expect a lot more garlic and some awesome twists in the dishes... And it was really overpriced for what you get. The service was really great, I just wish the food was as good. I guess I won't come to this place again, one time was enough...

Expensive for the quality they offer. Unless you live across the street, or can't find a restaurant that opens very late into the night, you probably should find another place.

But I went with a Swabian who highly recommended the place for authentic Schwabisch food and it was actually surprisingly unexpectedly amazingly rather good! I had the Badisches Schneckensüppchen (snail in cream) soup and it was simply great. Creamy, silky, aromatic, with the snails perfectly textured and tasty. Since Helmut Kohl was recently on TV, I ordered the Schwäbischer Saumagen (stuffed pig's stomach) in his honour, and I can now understand why he insisted that every head of state that visited Germany had to have one. And unlike President Chirac, I rather enjoyed mine, though I have to also add that it may be some time before I order another one as it was so substantial! I also have to confess that I left most of the sauerkraut uneaten as I hate the stuff, but then I always do this anywhere where they serve it (except for Borchardt). I didn't recognise any of the German wines but the restaurant had federweiss (fermented grape juice, 10% alcohol) and we had that instead though it was rather expensive at 4,50 Eur per little glass. Unlike the problems experienced by the other reviewers, I have to say that service was perfectly fine, although a little slow. Perhaps chatting politely to the staff and expressing genuine interest in the many (many) Swabian dishes helped. Speaking German also helps although they have an English menu (which we didn't need). The atmosphere is pretty OK - it's not too fancy but it was pretty packed with Germans and very few tourists and everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. Anyway, I will definitely be back here to sample more authentic Swabian dishes here - it is different from the rather greasy and heavy local food in Berlin which I am not too fond of. And one thing I would recommend is to try the dishes with the names you have never heard of. Who would have thought that the Swabians do snails so much better than the French? My friend had the tripe and that was also sensational, as good as the best tripola de Firentina in Florence.

They took a half hour... We then ordered dinner right away and guess what? After a half hour the waiter came back and said, "so what was it you wanted again?" TWO HOURS after arrival I complained and was told there were too many people ordering food... Seriously. I mean, this was not a joke or snide remark, this was a serious comment by a waiter. If I'd not been a guest of friends who said this was there 'go-to' place, I would have left. But I was stuck. When the food finally came, an order of meat dumpling, one order of vegetable dumpling and my Wiener Schnitzel with chanterelles, it was barely ok. PASS ON THIS PLACE! It's not worth the aggravation, nor the price.

For the main dish I got the sausage with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The sausage was alright. I enjoyed the taste, but felt that the flavor was not very apparent.

The flavor of the sauce was like a raspberry and I really enjoyed it! Overall, the food was good for a decent price, and the beers were huge if you're looking for a few drinks!

Angrily. Tourists be aware, if you wanted to be treated like shit for no reason This is definitely the place for you.
