Brasserie Colette Tim Raue in Berlin

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

Excellent food and excellent, humorous service.

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!

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.

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 😊

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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!

Pleasant environment. Great service. High quality inventive food, from bread and pickles, including starter and main course.

Great ambience with excellent food and ambitious service. Price performance is more than fair as the quality of the food is excellent. Great selection of French wines. Definitely worth a visit!

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

Very fine, intensely flavored Food, wonderful service and a feeling of well-being, which is why you should definitely go there. It's a person's handwriting!

The food is brilliant! Our waiter was wonderful - explained the concept of the restaurant and a lot of flexibility to make sure that we had a meal accompanied with wine that we really enjoyed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

really cool, thank you very much for the great evening

GREAT FOOD, COURTEOUS, NICE SERVICE… WE WILL BE BACK!

Nice and friendly service. Cozy, stylish atmosphere. Food great 👍

Great food and very helpful waiter . Really enjoyed but Family with 3 out of control children and a selfish mother more interested in own selfies than disciplining her brats ruined a great night Have the Boubaiiise

I absolutely loved Tim Raue's Brasserie Colette. The restaurant is elegantly and authentically decorated, which immediately creates a pleasant atmosphere. The French menu offers a wonderful selection of classic dishes, all superbly prepared. The selection of fine wines that go perfectly with the dishes is particularly impressive. A truly great dining experience - I'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended, very creative cuisine!

I need to contact you for a reservation modification and I come across a voicemail that tells me to type 1 or 2 and no matter if I click 1 or 2 the voice repeats in a loop....it's for tomorrow . how to contact you?

An excellent evening with friends. The food was all very balanced and the wines served with it took the taste experience to a higher level. The service was individual and simply excellent.

A spontaneous visit around lunchtime without a reservation brought us, in addition to the friendly welcome from the team, a nice table and a nice lunch. The aperitif we ordered came promptly and was perfect. The announced waiting time for the food (my wife had ordered the steak fries) was shortened by a gift of bread (very good taste), butter and pickles. My dish was the lunch special, consisting of six courses plus dessert. The consommé was very good, as was the asparagus, unfortunately the oyster was a bit off, but then the tartare was very good again. Then I turned my attention to the au point steak and the salad. Very nice. Finally the crumble. Very good. In the meantime, my wife was happy about the steak fries with very nice fries, a very tasty sauce and the steak. A small penalty here. She is used to less powerful steaks from France (some of them were still too bloody and the consistency was too unpleasant) and was therefore not entirely convinced. Overall, still a recommendation!

We were celebrating a special day for us, and it was the perfect venue. The restaurant atmosphere was fun, yet not so loud as to be intrusive. The service was attentive and familiar, and the suggested wine pairings were right on the mark. The food came out of the kitchen at just the right time, and was delicious. I liked the fact that the menu was limited, as I would expect when visiting a bistro.

La table dresse, a small selection of different dishes from the lunch menu on a Saturday in May. Very good in taste, sufficient, attractively brought to the table by a very nice employee. The homemade butter is a nice and tasty delicacy. Luckily the bistro was only very sparsely attended, so there was a bit of time for some very pleasant small talk.

I was there for a business lunch with a business friend. Because it was a bit difficult for us to choose. We decided on the lunch menu. This was actually a tapas menu. The quality was overall very good. But it would have been more pleasant not to serve all the tapas warm and cold at the same time after a waiting period. I could also have imagined a more typical French lunch menu. Although the bistro was almost empty, service was a little slow. In summary, you can go for lunch but you don't have to!

Amazing experience - will certainly visit again. We had the oysters, the artichoke, the beef tartare, octopus and ravioli. Every thing we ate was cooked to perfection and prepared with attention to details. The service was warm and friendly, with just the right gap between courses. I didn’t try the wines this time; for next time !

We went there yesterday. The oysters we had were room temperature and dry, which could be dangerous. The second course, the shrimp with lychee, was drowned in mayonnaise. It looked nothing like the pictures. I don't know what happened there. Big no go!

Super nice and charismatic service, competent guidance through the menu! Great ambience!! The food was first class!! Had the Wellington menu and was able to easily swap out the dessert! Thank you for the lovely evening

The 4 course menu with wine accompaniment was a lot of fun. Delicious! A lovely evening with family and friends.

It is difficult to sell oysters a few meters from the huge oyster bar in KaDeWe. So Rau differentiates himself by serving them with a green apple sauce nevertheless called vinaigrette, despite the very sweet taste. The steak tartare was a very small portion presented on chopped cabbage. But atmosphere, service and quality are up to the standard.

This is my second visit and I had another wonderful meal here. I selected the five course menu and requested that the sommelier also pair each course with a glass of wine. It was exceptional!

We had the lunch menu, beef tartare instead of oysters. Excellent dishes, the leading element in the multiple menu is complemented with spices, without underlining the main thing but rather elegantly underlining it. A pleasure! Enjoyed everything at a beautiful table in front of the restaurant in the sunshine.

Very innovative, creative cuisine. Great menu, especially the fish courses

Very good food. We had the duck menu with fantastic and attentive service in a restaurant decorated with style and taste. We'd love to come back again.

We came to have dinner with friends in this brasserie, and we’re looking for an authentic experience. The restaurant places it’s bet on a rustical and charming atmosphere; the menu is simple and the service friendly. The artichoke with its dips was good but a bit unspectacular. The steak & frites was good: the steak was tender and well prepared but didn't give me the “wow effect” I was expecting, looking at the price of the dish. It came with a bit of salad and a few crispy French fries but not made in “blanc de boeuf” (beef fat) and definitely not in the quantities usually served in traditional brasseries. The crème brûlée on its side was delicious. We had a lovely evening, but the food wasn’t on the level expected, particularly not for the price paid (130€ per person with wine).

Super delicious dinner with great taste in all dishes! Would like to highlight the starter with 'Prawns', which is probably the best starter with prawns we have tasted to date. And then their Steak fries, with a tournedos as tender as butter. Great recommendation!

The food was excellent. Onion soup and rack of suckling pig. Matching very nice and interesting white and red wines by the glass (German Riesling, Pommard, Southern Rhone). Especially nice if you come alone and can't drink a whole bottle. The service was very courteous, friendly and the work was fun and enjoyable. You notice that and it's obviously fun for the guests. The ambience is classic, a brasserie, open space, very attractively designed in my opinion. The mood is relaxed and relaxed - not at all tense. I'll be back!

Everything is wonderful. Service. Quality. Ambiance. Not cheap but worth the money!

There isn't much more to add to the 5 stars in all categories. Maybe more: the service was attentive, relaxed and also uncomplicated. Just what you would want as a relaxed guest who just wants to have a good time. Clear recommendation.

Lunch was delicious, but not everything was to our liking

Grunden til jeg valgte dette sted er at når en to stjernet kok som Tim Rauee lægger nanvn til burde det borge for en vis kvalitet. Det startede ellers godt med virkelig vellykket fiskesuppe . Et minus var dog at der gik 50 minutter fra bestilling indtil retten kom på bordet . Næste ret var over 30 minutter senere og her gik det helt galt. Pattegris er normalt meget mør og saftig .Her var hvad jeg ville en amatøragtig udskæring,iøvrigt meget lille ,der var stegt så hårdt at den var svær og skære og hård at tygge . Den tallerken bar ikke just præg af at komme fra et professionelt køkken men mavde måske sat opvaskeren til at lave mad . For at få noget til resten af vores vin bestilte jeg ost . Det tog også en halv time at servere og for 18/euro fik man 6 mundfulde på størrelse med smagsprøver i en ostebutik . Desserten bar ikke just præg af en god dessertkok i køkkenet så alt i alt må man sige at dette måltid bestemt var tre timer af ens tid værd . Hvis dette sted lå i Paris eller København have det forlænget have drejet nøglen om .

I'd been to Tim Raue last year and Brasserie Colette Tim Raue with friends last December. I love everything here so I invited my 14 friends here to celebrate our trip together. White and Red wine were amazing too. We were so excited and will be again.

Ohne Reservierung, aber mit entsprechenden Appetit bin ich auf Empfehlung in diesem Restaurant eingekehrt. Der Empfang und die Platzierung waren super-sympathisch und die Karte hatte viele Optionen für mich. Sehr gern hätte ich einen der empfohlenen Gänge probiert, aber auch die einzelnen Speisen sprachen mich sehr an. So hatte ich zuerst eine Austernplatte, welche mit dem passenden Champagner (Hausmarke) wunderbar harmonierten. Danach freute ich mich auf die Artischocke, welche mit den unterschiedlichen Dips gut war, welche ich aber auch schon besser erlebt habe. Exzellent war der Thunfisch, zu welchem mir ein passender Begleitwein empfohlen war und obwohl ich mehr als gesättigt war, ließ ich mich zum Dessert verleiten. Auch dieses war vorzüglich und zum Abschluss gab es noch eine kleine Beratung vom Sommelier, so dass ich einen sehr interessanten französischen Digestif kennenlernte. Alles in allen ein sehr schönes Restauranterlebnis, welches neben einem guten kulinarischen Erlebnis besonders von kompetenten und sympathischen Mitarbeitern getragen wird. Ich war sehr zufrieden und komme bestimmt wieder.

The service: Absolutely impeccable. Attentive. Professional. Incredibly likeable! The food: We all had the Tim Raue menu and absolutely loved it! The ambience: Extremely cozy. Not too bright. Not too dark. Stylish. I am a trained cook myself and can only warmly recommend the brasserie. I'll definitely be back!

As elegant as it is unpretentious, with a soft, subdued Parisian chic, and with friendly, young service. My favorite lunch restaurant at the moment, and you can also eat at a reasonable price with the table dressé (French tapas, so to speak), with an aperitif, water and glass wine for around €50 to €60. Wine list is French German and the sommeliers understand their range (very strong in Burgundy). A la cart you shouldn't miss the Marocain prawn and the pigeon, and their French 75 is a very pleasing start. Don't forget the caramel candies at the end!

Exceptional food at a reasonable(ish) price. We expected it to be good, but not THIS good.

The service is very pretentious and rude. The food does not match the prices and is not tasty at all. The waitress and chef did not agree with our opinion that the food was not tasty and tried to convince us otherwise.
