Buschbeck's Restaurant in Berlin

Insider tips are no longer insiders when everyone knows them 🫣 Reserve a table & let yourself be enchanted! Individual, personal service & fantastic, lovingly prepared dishes. One star? Two stars? At least five, preferably more. WE'LL BE BACK 🥰

We really enjoyed this place. Run by a warm husband-and-wife team, it feels like a hidden gem—welcoming, authentic, and off the beaten path. The ingredients are top quality, carefully chosen, and cooked with real skill. We especially loved the herring (delicate and unlike anything I’ve had before), the tender pig cheeks, and the fresh beetroot salad. Sitting at a sunny table on a quiet street made the atmosphere even more special—perfect for people-watching in summer. Highly recommend for a unique and genuine experience.

Great local food! Worth the trip from the city center. Attentive, kind staff and delicious menu offerings.

The uber pulled up to the restaurant and I admit my first impression wasn’t great. I think I was expecting something a bit grander. So much for first impressions. The owner/manager was just fantastic so attentive so polite and welcoming. She was just fantastic. She sat us inside by the window which was the best table inside , we are a family of 2 adults, 2 kids. It’s true there wasn’t anybody else inside but to be frank after a long hot day of sightseeing it just made it more chill. The food was brilliant, my 12 year old who barely touches food ate all 3 courses, I can’t remember a time this ever happened. The spring rolls were great, as were the sheep cheese and olives. We all had a different main course and every one of us ate it all up. The salmon fillet and mash was particularly good as was the schnitzel. Really the service and food was just spot on she changed menu items to fit my kids palettes. She never kept us waiting, we all had a lovely evening. I would recommend this to all my friends back home and would return

We had a wonderful hostess and truly delicious goulash. The meat was tender as butter and everything was delicious, so the ingredients must have been very good. Therefore, at that price (€24.90), there's no way a portion would be enough for two people.

We were looking for a small, quality restaurant with a local flare. Buschbeck’s was a fantastic answer. I had the beef goulash with pasts, beet salad… terrific!

A simple ambience with a rustic character. The food on the small menu impresses with its outstanding quality and very friendly service. We'd be happy to return!

Charming restaurant with good food and very nice staff, totally worth it

Fantastic food! Went as a party of three splitting 3 entrees. we got the duck, the pawn pasta and herring. they were all delicious. Would highly recommend!

Oasis in Berlin – As we walked around the area, we accidentally discovered this restaurant, and it turned out to be a great decision. Our mixed group of international visitors truly appreciated the experience. We were served delicious meals by a very warm-hearted, multilingual lady. The ambience inside was inviting, but owing to the nice weather, we decided to sit outside. The traditional German menu offered several interesting options, which made me reflect on the trade-offs. I’ll definitely bookmark this restaurant for future visits to the city.

Highly recommended. Incredibly delicious food and very high quality at a reasonable and fair price. The service was excellent, and the manager was very nice. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Berlin 😊👍🏼

Excellent service and staff is very attenuative

Mega leckeres Essen. Habe mich zwischendurch gefragt, ob das nicht einen Michelin-Stern verdient hätte. Sehr nette Bedienung. Schöne Terasse. Ruhige Gegend.

Good restaurant, only daily menu. So you have to be open to something new.

Absolutely first-class food and superb service from the unpleasant owner. A must-visit!

Man wähnt sich in einem französischen Bistro irgendwo an der Cote dAzurè - liebevoll mediterran angehaucht. Der Chef kocht - Madame bedient. Die Karte hängt mit Kreide geschrieben an der Wand. Es gibt was der Maitré morgens frisch auf dem Markt erwerben konnte - sehr gute europäische Hausmannskost - kein chi chi, kein oh la la......einfach nur lecker und ohne geschmacksverstärkende Hilfsmittel. Das Preisniveau erstaunt dabei positiv - Aperitives/Getränke ab 3,- € und auch die sehr guten Hauptgerichte ab ca. 22,- € wirken wohltuend auf die Reisekasse ein. Die familiär herzliche Bedienung tut ihr Übriges für einen rundum gelungenen Abend.

Muy buena comida, excelente servicio y ambiente confortable. Auténtico restaurante de barrio. Cena relajante y exquisita.

The restaurant is out of the centre of Berlin, but public transport is so good it is easy to get to - and definitely worth the trip! It has a cosy, homely feel to it, and service was excellent. The menu is quite limited, but I like this as it means everything is cooked well (and it certainly was). The spring roll starter was fabulous and the mains were even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. (We made a reservation, but walk-ins were possible that evening - though it was a Thursday.)

Spectacular. 10/10 food and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy good German cuisine in Berlin.

Durch Zufall haben wir das Buschbeck’s gefunden und einen Tisch reserviert: sehr nettes kleines Restaurant. Das Essen war einfach köstlich. Die Karte ist sehr klein, aber es wird alles frisch zubereitet mit selbst gebackenem, warmem Brot vorweg… Auch die Beratung beim Wein war sehr gut. Ein sehr schöner Abend. Wir kommen bestimmt noch einmal

I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. Ariane and Michael have been running the restaurant with a lot of passion for many years, and you can really feel it. Ariane's service was very attentive and she looked after me wonderfully. For starters, I had a delicious soup, which was the perfect start to the evening. I rarely eat meat, but this time I opted for the Thuringian Duroc with a side of vegetables – and I can say it was outstanding! I've rarely eaten such tender and flavorful meat. It was a real treat. At the end, we had time to chat, and you can tell how much Ariane and Michael love their restaurant and their work. Although I was there alone, I didn't feel lonely at all and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. If I lived in Berlin, I would come to you regularly.

Excellent restaurant. The cuisine is authentic yet refined. The goulash was delicious, and the bread—probably homemade—was fantastic. The owner is absolutely lovely!

Definitely recommended. We had dinner here on Sunday evening, and it was very good. Very tasty food and very friendly service. We'll be happy to come back when we're back in Berlin.

Small homely restaurant. Very tasty food at a good price.

In the heart of Berlin’s Charlottenburg district lies a culinary sanctuary that defies the noise of modern dining trends. The family restaurant Buschbeck’s does not shout for attention, it simply earns it - through heartfelt hospitality, timeless cooking, and a dining experience that lingers on. From the outside, Buschbeck’s is unassuming, nestled on a serene side street far removed from the bustle of the sprawling city of Berlin. Inside, the space is intimate and welcoming, unfussy but warm, a kind of room where conversations are unhurried and laughter feels at home. The atmosphere is devoid of pretension, anchored instead by a deep sense of care and authenticity. Much of the restaurant’s warmth can be attributed to co-owner Ariane Buschbeck, who manages the front of the house with grace and quiet charm. The handwritten menu, in German, is carefully translated at each table, and her thoughtful recommendations make even first-time guests feel like regulars. It is the kind of personal attention that’s increasingly rare in today’s dining landscape. At the heart of this experience is the cuisine - traditional German fare, presented without gimmickry and executed with precision. Chef Michael Buschbeck’s menu changes, guided by seasonality and a reverence for regional ingredients. Each dish a quiet celebration of simplicity and flavour, beckoning to be relished with time and conscious appreciation. Buschbeck’s is not the type of restaurant one stumbles upon, it is the kind of place one seeks out and shares with the most loved ones. In a city teeming with culinary experimentation, it remains refreshingly and sincerely grounded. For those in search of Berlin’s quieter pleasures, where tradition is honoured, attention is personal, and meals are made with soul, Buschbeck’s is unmissable!

The place feels truly authentic, and the food was absolutely delicious. Huge thanks for the wonderful dinner - we especially want to express our appreciation to the chefs for their excellent work, and a special thank-you to the kind and pleasant lady who served us. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Sooo cosy, we spent a very nice evening enjoying great food in a very nice place. I really recommend this place.

Esperienza fantastica. Siamo stati accolti e seguiti per tutta la cena con gentilezza e cura. Il cibo era a dir poco impeccabile, la carne tenerissima e gli ingredienti di ottima qualità. Il mio compgno è allergico ad alcune cose ma nonostante ciò, la cena è stata impeccabile grazie alla titolare disponibile a trovare una soluzione per lui. La location è molto carina e accogliente, questo permette di rilassarsi durante il pasto. Dovessi ritornare a Berlino questo ristorante sarebbe una tappa assicurata

Fantastic experience. We were welcomed and looked after throughout the dinner with kindness and care. The food was nothing short of impeccable, the meat very tender and the ingredients of excellent quality. My partner is allergic to some things but despite this, the dinner was impeccable thanks to the owner who was available to find a solution for him. The location is very nice and welcoming, this allows you to relax during the meal. If I were to return to Berlin this restaurant would be a guaranteed stop

Bir ile işletmesi olduğunu girer girmez anlıyorsunuz. Yemekler gerçekten enfesti. Ben çok ama çok güzel bir ördek yedim. Eşim ve oğlum de yedikleri yemeklerden son derece memnun kaldıkar. Berlin'e bir daha yolum düşerse kesinlikle uğrayacağım ilk yer olacak.

Fantástico pequeño restaurante en una tranquila zona residencial en Charlottenburg. Muy buen servicio durante toda la visita. Desde el menú escrito a mano hasta los muy buenos platos compuestos. Amouse bouche, entrante, plato principal y postre todo muy bueno. Quedamos muy impresionados por todo. Tuvimos la buena suerte de visitar Berlín cuando hacía calor y sol, pudimos sentarnos fuera en su jardín delantero. Definitivamente muy buena relación calidad-precio, volveremos a visitar!

Very nice service, friendly and food is amazing highly recomended

Increíble personal amable y la comida simplemente increíble vino también muy bueno. Necesitas esperar un poco por la comida, pero vale la pena

Super god og smagfuld hjemmelavet mad. Virkelig venlig og god betjening. Hyggelig stemning i den lille restaurant, som er beliggende i et roligt boligområde.

Very nice experience. It felt like being in someone's home for dinner. The duck was incredible and the staff was extremely friendly. Would go here again in a heartbeat.

The food, service and ambience are truly first class here. I can definitely recommend it 🙌🏻

Be it grilled specialties such as the Black Tiger prawns on green salad or the pink grilled Muscovy duck breast with red cabbage and mashed potatoes, the juicy, crumbly venison goulash or the Duroc pork cheeks from the oven - the dishes at Buschbeck's were presented in an inviting way, tasted excellent and were also well portioned. Friendly service. All around very good price/enjoyment ratio

The food is very tasty and prepared with love. The service and presentation of the food are first class. I recommend this place for a pleasant time.

A wonderful place. It feels like you're visiting friends who are very, very good at cooking. Thank you for this enchanting evening.

Went here because it was No1 for German food. The food was delicious. Full of flavour carrot & ginger soup followed by very tasty grilled duck. My friend loved the spring rolls and said the beef goulash was very tender. Ariana was very charming and courteous. We were the only customers at the time so can’t comment on the ambience but we were happy anyway. We had a lovely meal. Thank you Ariana and Michael.

Great food and cute little place but a little too quiet for our liking. We went on a Friday evening and were the only ones in there the whole time. The lady was very attentive and her husband was a great chef. Best duck breast we've ever had... albeit not your classic German cuisine. The wine was really quite cheap, we had a bottle of white for 16€ I think. Whole meal came to less than 100€ with the tip and we had starter, mains and wine (no desert). The home made bread and dip was lovely to start, as was the spring roll starter and the mains. Would just be nice if there were a couple more people in there, but maybe we just went on an unusually quiet day.

Gran comida y un pequeño lugar lindo, pero un poco demasiado tranquilo para nuestro gusto. Fuimos un viernes por la noche y fuimos los únicos allí todo el tiempo. La señora era muy atenta y su marido era un gran chef. La mejor pechuga de pato que hemos probado... aunque no es tu cocina clásica alemana. El vino era realmente bastante barato, teníamos una botella de blanco por 16 € creo. La comida entera llegó a menos de 100 € con la propina y tuvimos entrante, red y vino (sin desierto). El pan casero y el dip era encantador para empezar, al igual que el arrancador de rollo de primavera y la red. Sería bueno si hubiera un par de personas más allí, pero tal vez solo pasamos un día inusualmente tranquilo.

Buschbecks was a wonderful culinary experience for us. A homely environment, receptive and caring service and the most delicious meal we had during our Berlin trip. The owner/server was so personable and kind! She answered our questions about meal preparation and ingredients with so much care. It only added to our great experience. Highly recommend the duck and pork main courses which were perfection!!

We could not have hoped for a better dinner. The email booking system was easy with a fast response prior. On arrival the hospitality was amazing - very welcoming and homely. The food was sublime - elevated home cooked food - the best duck I have ever tried. This was by far our favourite restaurant in Berlin and would not hesitate to return. We travelled as a couple with my father. Easy cab ride from our hotel near the Tiergarten (around 10-15 minutes). Tucked away location.

Een echte verrassing dit restaurant. Duitse keuken maar veel verfijnder dan het gemiddelde, en voor dezelfde prijs! Ook de huiswijn is heel erg goed. Huiskamersfeer en erg vriendelijke bediening. Een absolute aanrader.

Very good restaurant with a small and good menu!

If you want a nice little restaurant cooking up some very tasty homemade german cuisine, this is your place. Run by a lovely couple for many years. Happy to help out with any English translation needs, even providing full menu (handwritten!) Tucked away, but well worth finding this little gem!

Very tasty and attentive. A great little gem.

Great dinner, warm welcome, extremely tender meats, creamy mash, very good wine, it was perfect!

Highly recommended. Top restaurant!!!

Good restaurant with delicious food!

Yes. Highly recommended. Clean good restaurant.

It was such a successful evening that we haven't had in a long time. We made a reservation and were fully looked after as if we were alone. The food was simply delicious and we would love to come back. All the best to the operators.

Me and my wife booked for dinner on a Friday night during our visit to Berlin, having seen the restaurant on Trip Advisor and we were very impressed. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic, we had the Beet Salad and Spring Rolls to start, followed by the Duck Breast and Duck Leg. I would definitely recommend eating here if you are ever in Berlin, you won't be disappointed!

Had a great evening there yesterday. We found the price-performance ratio to be great; Service very nice and accommodating. Will come again. Small and fine!!

One of Berlin’s hidden gems. What a great experience we had eating at this restaurant. We trusted our server to pick out what we were having and we are so glad we did. I’d almost fly back to Berlin to have dinner here!

Very nice little shop with great food and friendly service. Absolutely recommended and worth a visit. Reasonably priced, would love to come back.

i had dinner at Buschwerk's with my ex girlfriend, we had a great experience. food was very tasty and service was also very good would recommend it with out any doubt!

Unser Erlebnis im Restaurant Buschbeck's war wirklich angenehm das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam die Gerichte die wir gegessen haben waren sehr lecker besonders das Lammragout war ein Highlight das Dessert ein Semifreddo war ein perfekter Abschluss die Lage des Restaurants ist zentral und leicht zu erreichen es war ein sehr angenehmer Abend

Restaurant Buschbeck's ist wirklich ein schöner Ort das Essen war sehr lecker der Service war schnell und professionell die Umgebung war angenehm und angenehm ich war sehr zufrieden

We had a wonderful meal of true authentic German Cuisine. I had the traditional sausages with kale and potatoes and my husband had deer stew. Both were very delicious and tasted like they were made with love. The server/ hostess of the restaurant was extremely pleasant and friendly as well. They offered a menu in both German and English so it was very easy to navigate. Atmosphere is quaint and feels like a home or a cozy Bistro. You must try them!!

After reading great reviews on Tripadvisor I emailed the restaurant and even though it was closed I got a reply back within minutes and we were able to reserve a table for our last night . On entering the restaurant we were given a warm welcome and shown to our table . Ariane had also gone to the trouble of handwriting out the menu in English which I thought was a nice touch. There was a good range of tasty meals to choose from and we were both delighted with our choice . I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Berlin you won’t be disappointed

Super tasty, very nice staff. Really recommended.

We had dinner in the restaurant with a group of 5 and were warmly welcomed. The meat-eating faction quickly found the food they wanted. It was a little more difficult for us two vegetarians. But then we also ordered. The drinks were served very quickly and the food was also well timed. The duck dishes were a hit. All components tasted very good. The other vegetarian food, put together from the components offered, was also delicious. But I have to be honest: the pasta with vegetables that I made for me was simply delicious. You more than met my expectations and I would like to thank you very much for that once again. The huge pepper mill is also interesting. Thank you for the really great food.

This place is a hidden gem. Set back from the Main Street the restaurant offers very delicious home cooked food for very good prices. When we come back to Berlin this will be a must revisit for us Reservation is best

We enjoyed a delicious dinner with great service. Thank you!

I was there for the first time with 2 friends and it was super tasty, the venison goulash was perfect... There are also 5 stars for the surroundings Keep it up, I'll be back!

excellent service very friendly, great portion for price too!

Great food at a fair price... Tastiest duck breast and great wines. Always my pleasure

The Buschbecks is a small, privately run, very cozy restaurant with a menu adapted to the seasons and excellent, freshly prepared and exceptionally well-seasoned, very tasty dishes. The boss's service is attentive and very friendly. All in all, it was a great pleasure to have gotten to know this restaurant! We'll definitely be back.

Nice, small restaurant with a very nice owner as a waitress. The kale with Pinkel and Kassler tastes just like back home, I can highly recommend it!

Excellent address, everything was delicious and homemade. I warmly recommend, you will enjoy it.

A very nice and calm restaurant outside the centre of Berlin. Great food and very friendly treatment. Warmly recommended. And also easy to get to. The metro 2 (to Ruhleben), get off at Sophie-Charlotte Platz. Then a 10 minutes walk.

he most wonderful meal and adorable host. Having seen such glowing reviews on Tripadvisor we decided to venture out and make the effort to visit and so glad that we did. A small but perfectly formed handwritten menu, a spotlessly clean and cozy unpretentious setting with service that was warm and sincere. Quite frankly the best meal we’ve had not just in Berlin but in any of our city breaks since 2018. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g187323-d10700265-r979442586-Restaurant_Buschbeck_s-Berlin.html#

Splendid. Absolutely recommended.

We had a great meal at Buschbeck's restaurant when we were in Berlin. It is a little way out of the centre but well worth the short bus or Ubhan ride. The food was good, we had A beetroot salad and the spring rolls, both homely style but good nonetheless. This is a husband and wife team, him in the kitchen and her running the front of house service. She was very engaging and happy to chat to us when she had a second. I am really sorry that I can't remember their names, my bad. They have been doing this for 25 years, and we can see why. Do yourselves a favour and book in here, for a good meal of local cuisine.

Vriendelijke ontvangst. Gezellig. Rustig. Lekker eten. Prijs / kwaliteit meer dan oke. Een aanrader. Een beetje afgelegen, maar zeker de moeite waard.

Great food, delicous housemade drinks. Went here with my friend, who did recommend me to go. Went here with my friend, who did recommend me to go. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly Recommended. I tried the hollow rice with chicken and tamarind drink. Everything was great

There’s a reason this restaurant is rated so highly. The menu is limited and changes daily ( I think) so we reviewed what the options were beforehand —I chose pumpkin soup and duck breast, my girlfriend a beet salad and roast beef. Everything was prepared and plated well. Portions were generous. The food was absolutely delicious. Prices are very reasonable and significantly less than what we would have spent back home for a comparable meal. I only wish I have something similar in my NYC neighborhood!

The food here is fresh and, above all, fine

German as it should be, traditional and very high quality. Duck is amazing!

Excellent food and pleasant atmosphere. Gladly again!

The food actually exceeded our already high expectations. :) The service was very personable and accommodating – we would be happy to come back.

The host is charming and makes you feel comfortable and at home from the first moment. The food is delicious, we had duck magret with mashed potatoes (the mashed potatoes were ready to compete for a prize), roast beef and pumpkin cream. Everything especially good. The place is cozy, and the price is very correct for its quality. A place to return

Very good food, nice atmosphere and very friendly service. In addition, a very good price-performance ratio. We'd love to come back!

The meat is really tasty and prepared just right, the spices and sauces go together perfectly. The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, neither too loud nor too quiet, just right. The staff is friendly and quick, everything goes well. The prices are very fair in comparison Regarding the quality of food and service, the presentation of the dishes is also very nice, a really pleasant dinner

A wonderful, small, atmospheric restaurant with excellent cuisine. The prices are more than okay. A visit is worth it. We'd love to come back!

Everything is right here! Hopefully not a “secret” tip: courteous and highly competent service, top quality, great taste, stylish but cozy atmosphere. Excellent value for money. A MUST for visits to Berlin!

Rustic atmosphere. The food is great and the best Muscovy duck I've ever had. Very friendly couple that runs the restaurant. Handwritten menu for the dishes, assume it rotates. I'd be happy to come back when I'm in Berlin.

Finally German food as it should be. Wonderful duck, super friendly service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Absolute recommendation

Was there spontaneously. The owner served and was super friendly. Food was very good. We are very happy to recommend it.

Wonderful honest German cuisine. Freshly and lovingly cooked. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

one of the best dinners i’ve had in a long time. would come back to berlin just for this place!

A little gem of a place. Thank you for a great meal and you were so welcoming. We found this by using Google maps and the recommendations. Super atmosphere and very friendly. The food was excellent. We had spring rolls to start, followed by duck legs and goulash, both with cabbage and mashed potato. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed

We had a fantastic dinner with great food and service with a personal touch! One piece of advice would be for you to improve your homeopage since its a catastrophy right now! 😃

Delicious meals, nicely decorated and very friendly owner. And nice Italian wine. Highly recommended.

Mysig, genuin och familjär restaurang med mycket vällagad och god mat! Väl värd en ett besök och liten omväg om man bor mitt i Berlin.

Nothing fancy but excellent home cooked food. Great duckling and pork. Drinks reasonable price. Worth looking up. 10 mins walk from 109 bus
