Altberliner Restaurant in Berlin

"Great food! All we fried for three very hungry people was delicious. Service is great as well. Highly recommended!!!"

"I decided to take my girlfriend for a late Sunday lunch a week before Xmas and we decided to go for a traditional German meal . At the time of our visit it was quiet and peaceful and we wondered if this was a reflection on the restaurant. This, however , was not the case and our meal was excellent. I chose from the Christmas menu and opted for the roast wild boar with potato dumplings, with blueberry red cabbage and it melted in my mouth with the meat being deliciously tender . The service was fast , efficient and friendly and the price very reasonable. I would wholeheartedly recommend trying this place out ."

"Excellent service, great food, well presented. Really enjoyed it."

"We walked in with high expectations and walked out downright delighted. It’s hard to imagine a more traditional snapshot of Berlin on a plate. I went for the venison—lean, tender, and elevated by a cherry sauce and Rotkohl that tasted like someone’s grandma still runs the kitchen. My father’s veal liver was excellent, and my mother and sister split a heroic portion of Wiener Schnitzel that disappeared suspiciously fast. Classic beer all around. Every bite hit the mark. Highly recommend."

"Very delicious. Traditional german food but a little updated version. Recommend."

"A classic old-style Berlinese restaurant serving German classics in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Rather good pork shank in sauce and potato dumplings and a fair selection of other meats. Very nice and friendly service, but they only accept cash payments."

"I'm torn on this one. The weather was nice so we ideally wanted to enjoy a meal outside but they were all reserved so we settled for a table inside, which was still pleasant, though we were the only people dining inside. The service was friendly, and when they did mess up our order slightly, they were quick to apologize and correct it. We came here as part of my tour of trying every schnitzel in Berlin, so of course I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel (vom Kalb) as my main and my date got the Schweineschnitzel mit Champignonsrahm und Bratkartoffeln. It came out pretty quickly, but my date got fries instead of Bratkartoffeln. Like I said, they were quick to apologize, though, and let her keep the fries while they brought out fresh Bratkartoffeln for her. My Kalbschnitzel came in two pieces. The first one, I found the meat to be a bit tough and the breading was falling off, making it hard to eat gracefully. So I was a little disappointed. But then I started on the second piece, which was muuuch more tender and stayed together very well. So I was impressed with the schnitzel, but only half, sadly. I also tried some of my date's pork schnitzel, which was good, but we agreed the mushroom sauce tasted like cream of mushroom out of a can. Even with those minor letdowns, we opted to order the Kaiserschmarrn for dessert, because you have to if it's on the menu, right? It came with a chocolate drizzle, which I found a bit odd, but the pancakes were cooked to perfection, so I'm glad we ended on a high note. When we asked to pay, they offered to move us outside for some after-dinner drinks, but it was too late at that point (I wish they'd offered earlier), so we headed out. Overall, I wanted this place to be better, but there are plenty more schnitzels in the sea, and maybe you'll have better luck than we did with the seating and meat cuts!"

"The Altberliner is right across from the Nivea Store coming down from the Brandenburg Gate. It has a cosy outdoor seating area but we opted to sit inside because it was a tad windy. Inside was cozy and the menus are like newspaper. I went with 2 friends and we were seated promptly and our wait staff( a young lady) gave us enough time to study the menu. We ended up ordering the same thing ... Schweinshaxe with sauerkrut. It was delicious and the perfect combo. It was crispy light outside and the meat so juicy. Sauerkrut gave the skin a refreshed taste. We cleaned our plates and was so full that we don't even have room for dessert. We did order a salad to share."
