Brasserie Colette Tim Raue in Berlin

We had a wonderful, atmospherically perfect, culinary very appealing evening. Thanks to the friendly team under Michael Hollweck, who recommended fantastic wines to us. We enjoyed it very much and would like to come back.

Everything was great. Food very tasty. The service was simply great. Had a great idea of ​​what was being offered. I can only recommend it. Go there and recover. The price for what you get is justified. Everything is great quality.

Overall very satisfied. 4th Advent, four people. Ambiance/Food/Service 110%

Very tasty lunch, ideal for a more upscale business meal! Nice ambience, attentive staff and excellent food!

Fantastic… very tasty, great service… we felt very comfortable… see you next time

Fine food, original preparation and very friendly and attentive service

This is really fun. A little more expensive than normal restaurants but also simply better. Very good wine selection. Best steak ever eaten. Creme brulee is second to none.

Great spot for an evening for the two of you. Price/performance appropriate.

Incredible food with a lot of flavor. Spectacular wines. Exceptional attention. I will return without a doubt.

We had the normal menu, very well celebrated, portions were really well sized, no airs and graces and shishi. The staff is motivated to the core. The drinks menu is also plenty for alcoholic or non-alcoholic... A good address in Berlin to sweeten your life a little with a normal to slightly full wallet. We enjoyed it very much.

As always, it was a gourmet delight

We ordered the menu 'La Sélection de Tim Raue' and a starter and main course from the menu. Everything was simply very, very tasty, starting from the fresh bread with the cornichons to the dessert. Some dishes are very well peppered or have a certain spiciness that some may find too strong. The ambience and service were also great. We'll definitely be back!

Food not really good... Prawns are heavy to eat , artishocke was completely wrong...

We had the classic Colette menu with wine accompaniment and really enjoyed it, as well as the very friendly service and the beautiful, cozy atmosphere, really delicious. Not cheap, but inexpensive.

I’ve wanted to try the brassiere for a long time but what a disappointment. The service was just ok at best. Everything took too long and the food came nearly cold ,I’m sorry but a soup should not take 45 min to bring out barely warm with dry cheese. All the dishes shared one strong characteristic: way too much salt or no salt at all. The tasting lunch menu did not have a single dish with good flavour and the filet was just salty. For this price point I would not be coming back. (The tasting menu dishes were tiny and unless you are a toddler you will be leaving hungry ).

Trotz Hochbetrieb am Samstagabend erhielt ich noch einen Platz, nicht ideal gegenüber dem Eingang, aber ohne Reservation ok. Die Bedienung überzeugte mit Effizienz und Fachwissen. Interessante Speisekarte mindestens teilweise abseits vom Brasserie-Alltag. Angesichts der sehr guten Besetzung waren die Wartezeiten angemessen. Au revoir et à la prochaine.

Thank you for the great evening!

Este restaurante es absolutamente recomendable, si usted está buscando una cena realmente agradable en Berlín. El menú es corto y ofrece 3 menús o a la carta en estilo francés. Calidad en lugar de demasiado complicado. Eligiendo el a la carta terminamos siendo una excelente cena que se adaptó a nuestro gusto y apetito perfectamente - mucho gracias a nuestra amable camarera Jessica. La carta de vinos es corta con una selección segura de buenos vinos que ofrecen mucha calidad por el precio y buena combinación con los menús. El ambiente es relajado, tranquilo, agradable y agradable. Diseño y decoración amigables. Finalmente encontré un restaurante con una acústica tan brillante que puedes tener una buena conversación relajada en la mesa y aún disfrutar de la energía positiva en la habitación. El servicio proporcionado por Jessica era fácil de ir, amable, sonriente y acomodar nuestras necesidades temprano y sin problemas antes de que necesitáramos preguntar. Buen trabajo, buen lugar

This restaurant can absolutely be recommended, if you'r looking for a really enjoyable dinner in Berlin. The menu is short and offers either 3 menus or a la carte in French style. Quality rather than over complicated. Choosing the a la carte we ended up we an excellent dinner that fitted our taste and appetite perfectly - much thanks to our kind waitress Jessica. The wine card is short with a safe selection of good wines offering much quality for the price and good match with the menus. The atmosphere is relaxed, calm, nice and pleasant. Friendly design and decorating. Finally found a restaurant with an acoustic so brilliant that you can have good relaxed conversation at the table and still enjoy the positive energy in the room. The service provided by Jessica was easy going, friendly, smiling and accommodating our needs early and smoothly before we needed to ask. Good job, good place

Von Entree, wo wir mit Namen begrüßt wurden bis zur Verabschiedung (wir waren die Letzten) war das ein perfekter Abend. Habe noch nie auf diesem gastronomischen Niveau so einen guten Service erlebt. Besser als in vielen Sternerestaurants. Perfekt zubereitete Speisen, deren Auswahl und Zusammenstellung schon deutlich die Handschrift des Patrons zeigt. Auch ohne Stern: Kulinarik at it’s best. Auch bei den Weinen zeigt das Personal höchste Flexibilität und Kenntnis. Die Krönung war für mich „Sauerbraten vom Wagyu“, ein Hammer. Wir müssen und wir werden unbedingt wieder kommen.

Very big cinema. It was very nice. Very attentive and customer oriented. Business lunch at a special price.

Top service tries to make every wish come true. The ambience is nice. It should be mentioned that almost every dish is spicy!!! As a local guide, I have traveled a lot and have also had the opportunity to experience this restaurant. Overall I was satisfied, but it bothered me a bit that every dish was very spicy and this wasn't mentioned before on the page. I didn't get the suggestion to see you again. My wife had dinner and was also satisfied, but we expected a little more. Conclusion: If you can/are allowed to eat spicy food, you should try it out and make your own judgment. I also tried “brasseries” in the past few weeks and have to give another restaurant 5 stars for the price/performance ratio. You are welcome to take a look at my site.

Very special experience. Warmest recommendation!

Everything is great. Had a lovely evening!

We enjoyed the Menu Classique with wine accompaniment. "Only" four stars because of this: The onion soup was delicious, as was the beef bourguignon (like my husband's at home in France). Our review: The taste of the soup and the sauce were too similar - one pot for two dishes? Once again: the food was still delicious, the wine pairing was perfect, as was the service and ambience.

3/5 stars. Tried the lunch menu, and it was a mixed experience. The pumpkin soup with ginger oil was flavorful and definitely worth recommending. However, the salmon salad, while tasty, wasn’t as fresh as I’d hoped, and the oyster also lacked freshness. Overall, it’s a bit hit or miss, but the staff is friendly, which made the visit okay.

Never had such a lovely evening. The service was excellent and the food was out of this world. Thank you for this lovely evening. We'll definitely be back!

Wir haben mittags gegessen. Einmal das Mittagsangebot mit 6 feinen Speisen auf einmal serviert. Zum anderen Artischocke mit 3 dips und Rinderfilet. Die Speisen waren durchaus etwas schärfer (Pfeffer Jus, Ingweröl) und sehr lecker. Nettes Personal, gute Weinempfehlung. Ein sehr schönes kulinarisches Erlebnis.

Great food, service, kindness and atmosphere. A kind of a sophisticated, and charming restaurant. Enjoy! ❤️

Once again a very nice evening, good food and very nice hospitality. Will definitely come back soon.

*English version below* A very nice shop, harmoniously furnished and the staff is very attentive. A very nice place for a date. The food is very tasty, especially the onion soup is recommended. We had an aperitif, onion soup, artichoke, the beef fillet and the pulpo. Everything was perfectly prepared and tasted great. The side dishes for the steak and pulpo could have been more. The menu could be expanded to include a few more drinks. Otherwise I would recommend it. A very nice location, nicely furnished and the staff is very attentive. A very nice place for a date.

One night stop in Berlin and with a bit of luck we got a table at short notice. Lovely, very attentive service with great ideas (so I could eat the pulpo too) As for the food, as expected, the menu was amazing. Quality, implementation and taste perfect. I just like the culinary idea behind the food from Tim Raue and his team! If the opportunity arises again, we will definitely come back!!

We would like to thank the entire team for an all-round successful evening, from start to finish it was perfect service, great food with some little extras at surprisingly good prices. We particularly liked the approachable, friendly and unpretentious service, and the menus are perfect anyway. There were also a lot of interesting wine recommendations, thank you.

Very good food and courteous service.

Tolles Menü! Tolles Weinangebot! Der 15jährige Calvados, einfach Spitze! Der Service ist Fachkundig, freundlich und erfüllt „jeden Wunsch“! Preis/Leistung passt!

In this recession, we don't rate the food or the ambience. On 7/26/24 we reserved a table for 2 people for 10/20/24, with the note that one person would not consume any alcohol, not even in the food. The reservation was accepted. On October 20th We were then called in the morning at around 11 a.m. to say that unfortunately this wouldn't work because the overall dining experience couldn't be provided. 3 months in advance should actually be enough to prepare. This hasn't been a problem during our visits so far, especially in the Raue main restaurant. From our point of view, unfortunately not a recommendation - we will certainly not plan another visit and unfortunately we cannot recommend it either.

The service was great - we weren't disappointed with the food, but we weren't blown away either. As an example, the onion soup: this was delicious, but more suitable as a sauce for an onion roast than as a sole course (very concentrated, very viscous). We may have come here with the wrong expectations; It is definitely more of a brasserie that bears the name Tim Raues (rather hearty food, large portions) than a typical Tim Raue restaurant as one would imagine. You feel like you notice the name quite clearly.

Simply outstanding! We had a very nice evening! We look forward to next time

Very stylish restaurant. Food and wine really very good. Will definitely come to you again.

I was really looking forward to visiting Tim Raue's restaurant and my expectations were correspondingly high. The beef tartare that I had as a starter was really very good - perfectly seasoned and harmonious. My main course, the steak au poivre, was okay, but it was missing that certain something. It wasn't bad, but I was hoping for a little more given the reputation of the establishment. The bouillabaisse of my companion was satisfactory and solidly prepared. However, I had a big problem with the beef bourguignon, which was peppered far too heavily. The pepper dominated the entire dish to such an extent that hardly any other flavors came through. Even for someone like me who likes spicy food, it was too intense. The pepper really irritated the tongue, which is inappropriate for a dish of this type. The service, as already mentioned, was unfortunately not at the level that one would expect from a restaurant in this price range. Long waiting times and a noticeable overwhelm of the staff marred the experience. For the price of over 200 euros for two courses with some wine and an aperitif, I would have expected more attentive and professional service. Overall the visit was not what I had hoped for. While the food was quite good in places, the wild fluctuations in quality and the inadequate service left me disappointed. I will therefore probably prefer one of Tim Raue's other restaurants, which have left a better impression on me so far.

From the first moment of greeting, the service, the meal with the corresponding wines to the farewell, everything was perfect. Many thanks to the entire team.

The Colette is a small but fine and chic restaurant right next to the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. You are greeted very friendly, shown to the table, and the service is generally very attentive throughout the meal. With a good selection of vegetarian and meat/fish dishes, the menu scores visually. The dishes themselves have an excellent variety of tastes; Mr. Raue's team does an excellent job of incorporating all kinds of flavors into the starters, main courses and desserts; The desire to combine sweet-sour-bitter-salty-umami - and I would like to add almost creamy - in every dish quickly becomes apparent to the inclined connoisseur. And in my opinion it works brilliantly. A real experience, I will definitely eat there more often.

Four of us were here for dinner and were greeted very friendly and shown to the square. The service was attentive and routine. Fine pickles and juicy bread and butter were offered before the actual meal. The food was great - of course! I really like the depth of flavors here - the beef bourguignon almost always has to be it for me. Steak and tartare as well as the artichoke and all the desserts were also very tasty. I deduct a small point because at 10:30 p.m. the bill was placed on the table without asking - we would have liked to order a quick drink - and therefore felt like we were thrown out. With 30 minutes to go, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. But we'll be back and will definitely get used to the new standard soon 😉.

Food is great, has its price, service is first class and personal.

A success from A to Z. All dishes were of the highest quality and an absolute highlight. Drinks are also of high quality. Plus an extremely nice and fast service. Prices high but reasonable. Very nice and suitable atmosphere

Top service, top food! Absolute recommendation!

Great food and excellent service!

For a well-priced lunch at 37 euros, Brasserie Colette by Tim Raue offers a solid selection of small plates, making it easy to sample a range of flavors. The dishes are tasty, and while they aren’t exceptionally intricate, they do give a sense of Tim Raue’s approach to food in a more casual setting. The wines pair well, the location is convenient, and it’s a good value if you’re looking to explore a bit of Raue’s style without the Michelin price tag. Overall, a pleasant experience without the fanfare.

At first I was a bit surprised by the menu. The dishes read a bit boring. But the interpretation on the plate was absolutely great in terms of taste, presentation and aromas. Super friendly and competent team, we felt very comfortable. The style of the restaurant fits the whole concept, simple, tasteful and so beautifully put together. Will become one of our regulars. Thanks

Nice restaurant with extremely friendly staff.

It was a very special experience to spend a wonderful evening here with friends. From the welcome, to the advice, to the service, professional and very warm-hearted. The culinary delicacies were sensational and the wine accompaniment was also appropriate. We particularly liked the fact that the dishes from the menu could be chosen individually and combined in your own variation. In addition, the price/performance ratio is absolutely ok. Thanks for the nice evening, I'll be back :-)

Very good business lunch at normal prices!

We had the beef fillet Wellington menu for two with wine accompaniment and it was all super delicious. The service was great and the waiters were really nice. We were also packed something because my partner couldn't make it. It was beautifully wrapped and we were given a jar of sweet and sour cucumbers. Wine was always refilled when a glass was empty. Gladly again

The dinner was excellent in a warm and very welcoming atmosphere. All dishes from starters to dessert were excellent. And highlight Paulina's friendly service and attention. A great professional. Brasserie Colette will surely be on my agenda on our next visit to Berlin.

Very finely balanced food. We had a lunch menu. We would be happy to come back when we are in Berlin.

Always worth a visit. The sauces for the dishes are sensational and the service is not inferior. We'll definitely be back. Kind regards to everyone from Colette.

We took part in the evening on September 13, 2024 with Tim Raue. The motto was classic French cuisine with appropriate, generous wine accompaniment. Tim Raue was on site and led the evening. There was a short story for each of the five courses. To make a long story short, the ambience, service and food were outstanding. But the highlight of this evening was of course the master himself. He has the ability to give the guests the feeling that they have known him for a long time, like an old friend. Don't be ashamed to come to every table for a selfie and a quick chat. A perfect host and entertainer. All in all a wonderful experience.

Eine kleine Auszeit vom Alltag - ein schönes Erlebnis in Berlin Guter freundlicher Service Unaufgeregte Atmosphäre Köstliche Kleinigkeiten

We had a MEGA evening! Everything was fine. The food was excellent and the team is unique: attentive, competent, unobtrusive and of course friendly. We felt completely pampered. THANKS! Our new favorite restaurant.

Very elegantly designed, top service and a great relaxed atmosphere. The quality of the food is top, but in my opinion the price/performance ratio is excessive

Walked in for lunch and in my case I chose the vegan 3 course menu - tomato tartare, raviolo and croissant with raspberry ice cream. All courses always have a certain spiciness, which is refreshing and makes the individual spoonfuls varied when eating. Great lunch menu and also the service, which is relaxed, professional and polite at the same time.

Great lunch, very attentive service.

Every dish was about 3x as salty as it needed to be. I could barely eat any of the dishes. My companion, who runs a restaurant, agreed.

Super nice gourmet shop, light, wonderful cuisine, pleasant guests, connoisseurs… insider tip potential!

The Colette has a nice atmosphere and is located in the western center of Berlin in the immediate vicinity of the KaDeWe. We chose the lunch menu for 37 EUR. 7 small portions (including dessert). However, we are used to more surprising flavor combinations from Tim Raue. At least that's how it was in the, unfortunately closed, Villa Kellermann in Potsdam.

All is absolutely perfect, we had a lunch menu.It was awesome: auster, medallion etc( 6 try sets) and dessert!!!!the service is the best!!!!

Ein zum wiederholten Male, durchweg gelungener Abend. Aufmerksamer Service und tolle Küche. Die Speisen sehr lecker und toll angerichtet. Gute Weinkarte und entspannte Atmosphäre. Vielen Dank

Today...finally got seats...unintentionally after KDW shopping. Service top. Food very good. Big compliment. We run a restaurant and event location ourselves. The concept is consistent. Thank you for the nice time today. Greetings Danny from the Zauberküche from Magdeburg

Great food in a pleasant atmosphere. Very friendly service.

Everything was great and our expectations were exceeded. We had a menu Wellington. Very solid and masterful craftsmanship. Thank you!

Despite the ongoing renovation which is expected to end on Aug, 24th, we were greeted friendly and warm as always. The Boullabaisse was fantastic, the Waguy Entrecôte a delicious new dish. We also liked the filet Wellington exceptionally. With regard to the wine: Try the white Croze Hermitage, the Chablis and the Chateaux Margot. They exceeded our high expectations. Many thanks to the entire team for two great evenings!

Dear Brasserie Colette team, a big thank you for another wonderful evening despite the renovation! As always, great wines, exceptional dishes and super-nice, uncomplicated and competent service! The Wagyu roast beef is a sensation and the Margot Bordeaux goes great with it. We are already looking forward to the next time!

The 5-course Tim Raue menu has 2 very spicy courses, which the guest has to like. The other courses were aromatic and varied. No greetings from the kitchen. The service explained the courses with gaps and gave us good advice about the wine. The ambience has room for improvement: chairs hard and uncomfortable, furnishings plain. After more than an hour, only the second course was served, and after 3.5 hours we left the restaurant. It was a bit too long for us. The bill was €600 for 4 people with tips, a bit too high for me. The price-performance ratio could be better, I won't come back. I expected more ambience and pep in the presentation of the dishes on the plates.

Another special evening with great food and service. The light dessert of salted lemon and merengue on this warm evening was the perfect finishing touch. Thanks!

Excellent food and excellent, humorous service.

Wir hatten im Rahmen unseres Kurzurlaubs ein wunderbares Mittagessen in der Brasserie von Tim Raue. Das Essen schmeckte hervorragend, das Personal war sehr sympathisch und aufmerksam.

The best birthday I've ever had!!! 1000 thanks to the team, everything was perfect, the food and the service were great! We are always happy to come back❤️❤️❤️

We were there for the second time, it was a special evening for us again and it was also a special evening in the "Brasserie". I can thoroughly recommend the service, ambience and food and are really worth 5 stars! We'll definitely be back! Thanks to the team, you're doing a great job!

Amazing oysters gratinee and tuna Nicoise, the steak was really good too. Would have been 5 starts with better wine selection. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Wow, we have never eaten so well 😊

Careful and polite service, elegant and relaxing environment, excellent wine list, menu not suitable for all palates and full of butter. However it is worth a tour for the wines and the caviar as well as for the environment.

We had a wonderful lunch in the restaurant. The food tasted excellent, the staff was super friendly and harmonized perfectly. Even when there was an error in the invoice (which I didn't immediately notice), I was informed about it on the same day and the overpaid amount was refunded. To get in touch so quickly on your own initiative, really very good service to the guest. All in all it can only be described as a perfect visit and we will definitely be back.

Our circle of friends recommended Brasserie Colette to us, so we took the opportunity to reserve a table for lunch during our stay. First of all, since this was our first visit, we were briefly familiarized with the map and menus. We felt welcome here and immediately had the impression that it was a good fit. That's how it should be: all the employees were very warm, always happy to have fun and were able to explain the respective dishes and drinks excellently and give advice on them. You didn't have the feeling for a moment that you were 'just a customer', but rather that you were spending an afternoon together. The dishes (salads as a starter, two different meat dishes for the main course, mousse au chocolat & crème brûlée as desserts) left nothing to be desired - everything tasted excellent and was of the best quality. The furnishings are also very successful and comfortable. As luck would have it, the boss himself was there that day and was kind enough to sign a book for us, so we also have a nice souvenir. For that, for the great care and the lovely afternoon: thank you and see you soon.

Bread and butter and cucumbers at the beginning - a poem - perfect, the steak and the fries and the Bernaise - very good and a large portion, service very good, the chairs alone don't invite you to stay and the price is an announcement. Thanks anyway.

Unsere Erwartungen waren ... ... und wurden erfüllt. Jeder hat etwas Geeignetes für seinen Geschmack gefunden. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend - wir werden wieder kommen. Zum Schluss noch ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Bei Außentemperaturen > 30°C könnte man durchaus ein k a l t e s Bier und ein k a l t e s Wasser anbieten. C&A aus Radebeul/Sachsen

Both the staff and food were amazing. The atmosphere was really friendly and the service didn’t disappoint at all. Thank you!

The pleasure is expensive, but it’s worth it - it’s delicious and the service is at a high level. I recommend)

Something this great for lunch is just great!

The food is excellent, but unfortunately the service is a complete disaster!!!!!! And we've played the whole game several times in this Laeen, but now it's over. I would rather spend my money in restaurants that work in a customer-oriented manner. That is appreciation on both sides. The shop was again quite empty. There are 6 tables for 4 outside, only one of which was occupied. We sit down outside, looking forward to a relaxed lunch. Then the waitress comes and looks at me and says hello. Nothing else. Just stares at me. I'm surprised and ask if she could bring us the map. We would like something to eat. Then she: “Have you made a reservation? • Me: “No, would that have been necessary?” As a reminder: an outside seat is occupied, no reserved sign on a table. We should go in and register first so that they can then record it. I thought - should I really get up now that she's already at our table and go back in...? My husband says it's all too complicated for him, so please just bring us the map. Unfortunately the card never came. We simply weren't served. My husband and I talked for a while and then decided we weren't going to go in and be lectured by a restaurant employee. By the way, this happened to us twice in a row. If a restaurant sets rules, you can also inform customers with signs and explanations. Or with a friendly explanation for next time. Unfortunately a no-go. Of course, the ambience also suffers because you don't feel comfortable when the waitress rolls her eyes when you ask for the menu. Very uncomfortable!

Hier bekommt man einen Einsruck des besonderen Essens aus der Sterne - Küche. Auch teuer, aber wenn man sich mal was Gutes gönnen möchte, zu doch eher bezahlbaren Preisen.

Everything perfect! Super delicious French food in a great atmosphere with friendly service - what more could you want. Gladly again very soon!

Top Restaurant, super essen aber nun ist der Personalmangel auch hier angekommen!! Sehr freundliches aber leider unwissende Mitarbeiterin ! Trotzdem kommen wir wieder aber ich finde das in dieser Preisklasse die Mitarbeiter besser geschult sein sollten ! Bis zum nächsten mal

Tasty food, the steak was well cooked and the serving was generous. Desserts were good, crème brule very tasty and good pairing with the strawberries, mousse and eggnog sauce was very good as well. Service was a bit slow and inattentive.

The incredibly delicious food activates taste buds that I have never noticed before Just really impressed with the atmosphere, the staff and the food! Highly recommended

A very good experience, the staff was very freindly and helpfull. The food was wonderfull, the steak and fries was very very good. The star of the evening was the shrimps, that alone was worth comming back for. The sour dough bread with pickles was also a nice touch. Ill be going back for seconds before i leave berlin, thats for sure.

Tim Raue’s French brasserie. Absolutely brilliant. You’re at home at once. The food is top quality and the wines very good (but expensive). We have to go back!

A surprise over the expectations!! three super menus all at top level wines course included.a must try place 100%

Top Restaurant! Sehr coole, stylische, aber auch gemütliche Atmosphäre. Das Essen ist auf höchstem Niveau und der Service, insbesondere auch den Kindern gegenüber, sehr herzlich und professionell.

Practically chic atmosphere with friendly service. Selected delicious dishes (we had the lunch menu). The highlights for us were the cornichons, the onion soup and the tartare, but all the other dishes were also exceptionally tasty!

Very nice atmosphere. Some seats from old train carriages to the selection of glasses, everything personally selected by Tim Raue. Service also includes food and the recommendation of which wine to go with which dish, everything is perfect
