Der Butt in Potsdam

Super friendly staff, excellent food and a feel-good atmosphere. There is a great selection of wines to go with the delicious fish

I can only praise the “Butt” highly. Varied menu, perfect preparation of the plentiful dishes, friendly service. If I have to complain about something: Signs to the toilet were too subtle for me.

Best fish restaurant in Potsdam.

Very great restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice, the selection of dishes is very good and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was on point and perfectly balanced. If you visit Potsdam, you should definitely include this restaurant.

A lovely evening. Good food and nice, fun service. We had fun. Thanks.

A beautiful restaurant, the food is first class and the waiters are extremely friendly. You feel very comfortable from the first minute and we would love to come back.

Falling for the mostly good reviews! I give one point because the two young male waiters are very nice and service-oriented, they can't do anything about it. The food for the prices is subpar. After catching and cooking over 200 crayfish myself this year, I can judge that the one added to the fish soup is not fresh, smells bad and is most likely frozen food. It was the same with the plaice, but not the North Sea crabs and shrimps and mussels. At first I thought it was a strange spice that smelled bad, but in retrospect it was just old fish! I gave up, the friendly staff couldn't help it. If you like eating fish, you should refrain. Far too expensive for this quality. In principle, the fish soup with the fresh herbs could be great, but if there's something in it that doesn't smell bad, -too bad!

After a year there were three of us in the Butt again. We have been regular customers over the years. This time, however, the side dish for my wife's fall menu did not meet our expectations at all. The fried potatoes were black and porcini mushrooms were present in minimal quantities. The gratin for our daughter's meal was also partly burnt black. We're not used to that, especially since the price category is in the higher segment. When we pointed it out, it was cleared away in a rather unfriendly manner without saying a word of regret. Not to mention a “free” coffee. The entire lunch cost us over €100. It could have been more, but not with the complacency of the service staff. Black fried potatoes should never leave a kitchen. We don't want to have an experience like that again. We are very disappointed. Professionalism looks different.

A bit inconspicuous from the outside, embedded in the Potsdam cityscape. The first person in the restaurant was a friendly waiter who, with both hands full of clearing away things, didn't walk past me but greeted us in a friendly manner. Shortly afterwards our jackets were taken away from us. The service in the restaurant was already at 5 points. The good impression lasted until the end; friendly, attentive waiters who don't force anything on you - exactly the right feeling. However, I observed that other guests' jackets were not taken away, so they may not share my impression. The restaurant is lovingly and tastefully decorated. I was amazed in the toilets: in the men's toilet there was deodorant, gel and toothpicks (!). Brilliant idea and of course I used the toothpick straight away. The prices are high, but if you remain honest they are appropriate for today's times. For economic reasons (fees and time delays), no credit card is accepted there, only debit cards. Germany is still in the Middle Ages here. However, this is pointed out right at the beginning. We had lobster (pre-ordered). It was delicious! First of all, bread with homemade dill butter, the fresh salad with the lobster was really tasty, the lobster was slightly prepared/pre-opened. Yummy. My expectations were higher for the price of the dessert. If it had been a little cheaper, it would have been better. Conclusion: we will come back and try dishes from the menu.

We ate there for the first time today and will go there again 😊top waiters, top food and everything else was top👍🍀🍀🍀❤️

If you want to eat there in the evening, you should make a reservation. We had fish plate butt. Delicious. Service was very friendly. Recommendation, Limocello Spritz as an aperitif.

Service was very friendly, food was delicious, nice atmosphere. Only recommended!

A great restaurant in Potsdam. Great service, great food and drink. I would love to come back as a guest.

Fisch vom feinsten : Forelle blau kundig zubereitet, schöner Moselriessling, sehr freundlicher Service, angenehmes Ambiente, angemessene Preise. Zum Wiederkommen!

Food great, service grade 1 with star

Very cozy restaurant, service was super nice and accommodating, the food was absolutely amazing. Price performance top! We were there for the first time and will definitely come back.

Centrally located fish restaurant with a friendly host. The food was very good and fresh, the price was rather higher, which is to be expected with good quality fish dishes. First there was some bread with dill butter, which was also really good. Payment possible in cash and by card. A little warm inside in summer.

Ausgezeichnete Küche, wir haben sehr gut gegessen. Der Chef war sehr freundlich aber die Chefin braucht dringend Nachhilfe in Freundlichkeit. Schade. Die Franzosen

Ich hatte mal wieder einen Termin in Potsdam...Wie so oft ging es in den Butt. Die Bedienung etwas schnodrig aber doch freundlich. Ich bestellte Scholle mit Speck, meine Begleitung gebratenen Lachs mit Tagliatelle. Der Lachs war ziemlich trocken,die Nudeln definitiv aufgewärmt...und klebten aneinander. Meine Scholle schien mir nicht mehr ganz frisch...Dazu gab es einen Esslöffel voll Bratkartoffeln und zwei Salatblätter. Absolut lieblos angerichtet. Vor zwei Jahren habe ich für die Scholle noch 21,50€ bezahlt. Heute kostet das gleiche Gericht in weit aus schlechter Qualität 28,50 €. Der Lachs mit aufgewärmten Nudeln 27,50 €. Alles in allem...Eine absolute Enttäuschung. Preis Leistung passen überhaupt nicht. Scheinbar geht in dieser Stadt alles den Bach runter...

Have a nice day, we were there for dinner in the afternoon. Very tasty Limonello Spritz. The scallops were very tasty and in the main course my fish and chips were amazing. Everything was great all around. It wasn't the last time we were here. Kind regards, the Schäfer family

I have rarely eaten fish so deliciously! Very crispy on the outside, very tender on the inside, with fantastic mashed potatoes or fried potatoes. The service was also very accommodating and friendly. Yes, the restaurant is a bit more expensive, but the price-performance ratio is definitely convincing. I would love to come back here!

Very tasty food, super nice ambience, great service. When I'm in Potsdam, I also like to eat here. The prices are in the upper category. My personal pain threshold.

We spontaneously ate here on Sunday and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is cozy, the service is friendly and accommodating and the food is really good. We'd love to come back.

I have rarely eaten so well. Very nice service and great ambience I'll be back. A. Falk

It was a perfect evening for us. The food was really great and the service was very attentive and super friendly. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We got married in a civil ceremony in Potsdam a month ago and wanted to go out for a relaxed meal with our parents that evening. After the service at the restaurant where we had coffee with our guests wasn't very convincing, the staff and the food at "Butt" sweetened our evening. Although the meal was not declared a wedding meal, the table was decorated with a few hearts and we were given a complimentary champagne to toast with. The food was really delicious and the service was A1. Above all, the owner, who welcomed us so nicely, was very personable. We can only recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back next time we visit Potsdam.

Aufgrund der guten Bewertung haben wir heute Abend den Butt besucht! Das Essen war hervorragend, die Portionen reichlich die Weinempfehlung passte sehr gut zum Fisch! Wir können das Lokal sehr empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!

Always a pleasure. By far the best fish restaurant in the area. Great food, great wines, great, very attentive, individual service. This can not be done any better.

We were there for dinner and were super satisfied. Great service, great quality, good price, we'll be happy to come back

Sehr leckeres Essen, nettes und aufmerksames Personal. Hier versteht man was von "Fischzubereitung" Gerne kommen wir wieder!

One of the best restaurants in Potsdam.

Be sure to fish here! Very good, excellent fish dishes with friendly service. We were completely satisfied.

Top food... Great atmosphere and nice service... gladly again 😊

Super tasty and super nice staff

Uncomplicated telephone reservations and a warm welcome. Attentive service - a tasting glass of wine to help you decide, the (excellent) starters - bouillabaisse "with two spoons please" served in two bowls - and excellent food. We had the bacon plaice and can highly recommend it. Prices completely justified.

Delicious food, very good service, highly recommended

Nice fish restaurant with nice staff. The food was good and tasted good.

Very good food and courteous service. Not for an ordinary Tuesday, as the prices are correspondingly high, but you also get something for your money. Delicious baguette with salted herb butter as an aperitif, which can also be refilled upon request. And the food is definitely appropriate for the prices. Gladly again!

I can only recommend. People eat here!!! Actually 7⭐️🙂👍

This restaurant is a must for fish lovers. The staff are very nice, we immediately felt welcome. Our dishes tasted wonderful, the bouillabaisse starter was an absolute hit. We'd love to come back...👍

Very tasty fish dishes, but also meat dishes. The higher prices are justified.

Very polite staff. Food tastes great, look for non-fish friends

The food was great (good quality fish), the service was very accommodating. However, we found the prices a little overpriced.

Went to the Butt again after a long time and were very satisfied that nothing had changed in terms of the good food and service!! The prices are also very moderate for this quality and the ambience!! We hope it stays that way and come back soon!!

Thank you for the very good service and the very good cuisine

We were very satisfied. It was very tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. Additional requests are kindly fulfilled.

The Butt is a real Potsdam original. Here you get delicious fish dishes prepared with a lot of love and, in my opinion, one of the best steaks in the whole city. Many so-called steakhouses can take a big leaf out of this! The service is attentive and very friendly. If you're in the city center, you should definitely stop by here, even if it's just for a delicious dessert with coffee.

I was disappointed with the food. Would have expected more for this price. Ambience and service were very good. Maybe I had a bad day.

Had dinner a week ago. Great, delicious fish at its finest. It's been a long time since I've eaten such great fish. Just the service, very unfriendly, I tried to be nice. The next guest was just as unfriendly. It's a shame the chef deserves praise. But the waitress should stay at home. I won't be coming back. There's also a great restaurant next door with nice service. Bernd H.

Großartig! Eines der besten Restaurants in Potsdam. Eine absolute Empfehlung für Menschen, die gern Fisch essen.

Passt alles gut. Gutes Essen, nettes Team man fühlt sich wohl. Werde 2024 wieder kommen.

Sehr schönes Restaurant. Tolle Bedienung, hervorragendes Essen ,auch die Qualität und Preise sind in Ordnung. Werde das Restaurant weiterempfehlen und wieder besuchen.

Ein wirklich ausgezeichnetes Restaurant! Wir haben sehr leckeren Fisch gegessen und einen traumhaften Dessert Teller genossen 👌🏻. Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommend und das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich und zum wohlfühlen. Wenn wir mal wieder in Potsdam sind werden wir genau dort wieder einkehren. Kleiner Tipp, unbedingt vorher reservieren. Vielen lieben Dank an das gesamte Team für diesen wunderbaren Ausklang eines sehr schönen Tages. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Das beste Fischrestaurant Potsdams. Ein Muss wenn man Fisch und Meeresfrüchte liebt. Vom Ambiente, über den Service, die Suppen und Hauptspeisen bis hin zu den Desserts einfach perfekt 👌🏻😋

Der Butt Gleich rechter Hand am Eingang, am unbestimmten Tisch, führt gleichwohl mich mein Weg lang, riech köstlich schon den Fisch. Möcht gern alleine sitzen, bei zartem Kerzenschein, seh Tau an Gläsern glitzen, denn köstlich schmeckt der Wein. Und duftend kommt der Brodem, aus Meeresmittenmang, mit ostseetiefem Odem, war´s heut ein guter Fang. Nun sitz ich satt und glücklich, leicht trunken noch im Raum, so bleibt der Butt mir nützlich, dem Gastgenuss ein Traum.

Einfach super.War alles lecker..

Leckere Fischgerichte in einer zentralen Lage.

Der Kellner gradlinig witzig und das Essen großartig. Der Besuch ein Muss… Ach es gibt auch Gerichte für Fischhasser, aber die dürfen bestimmt vor dem Lokal warten.

Super Essen, perfekter Service, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Gutes Personal was seht freundlich bedient.

Wir waren nun schon das dritte mal hier, es war wie immer hervorragend. Das Essen war sehr lecker, mit frischen Kräutern sehr geschmackvoll und toll angerichtet. Der Chef serviert selbst und ist immer sehr aufmerksam, ob was fehlt und sei es nur eine Kerze, die ersetzt werden muss, bemerkt er sofort. Unglaublich schön, wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste mal.

Reservierung ist erforderlich. Man wird sehr freundlich begrüßt. Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und natürlich auch flott. Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Das ist eine Gaumenfreude. Der Butt ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Wir waren gestern zum Abendessen dort. Sowohl die Husumer Schollenpfanne als auch die Boullabaise waren sehr schön. Das Restaurant hat ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und einen wirklich aufmerksamen Kellner. Vielen Dank!

Super Fischrestaurant 🐟 in der City von Potsdam - Top Qualität - guter Service - Preis/Leistung 👍

Havelland mit Pfifferlingen,Petersilie Kartoffeln und Gurkensalat waren megalecker.Lieben Dank

Immer wieder ganz toller Fisch mit ordentlicher Portion und Vieles aus der Region! Der Service verwöhnt auch mit Humor. Immer wieder sehr gern!!!

Sehr empfehlenswert. Lecker Fisch gegessen.

Sehr lecker! Und dazu noch freundlich. Wer Fisch liebt ist nicht nur richtig hier, sondern herzlich willkommen es zu probieren!

Das Beste Fischrestaurant in Potsdam mit einem super Service. Wir hatten Glück ohne Reservierung einen Tisch zu bekommen. Also besser vorher anrufen.

Super Fischessen und sehr nette Bedienung. Sehr gerne wieder!

Zum 88. Geburtstag meines Vaters einfach FISCHRESTAURANT POTSDAM bei Google eingegeben und wir landeten einen Volltreffer. Gemütliche Atmosphäre, fantastischer Service und letztendlich natürlich auch sehr guter Fisch. Leider kann ich nicht Stammgast werden, da 600 km Anreise dann doch zu weit ist, aber beim nächsten Potsdambesuch ist der Butt gesetzt. Vielen Dank.

We visited the restaurant today for lunch. It was a hot day. Unfortunately, lobsters were not available. We decided to have Dorade and fresh water fish platter. The dish was well prepared and well served. I wish the fishes had option to be grilled and not fried. Taste is completely different. The fried fish fillets were priced around €27 and Dorade was billed at €25. We had limoncello spritz which was €7.5 per glass. The surprise element of all was still water which was priced at €8. Pretty high especially for a restaurant without AC and when you start sweating within 10min of seating. The hosts were very polite and cordial.

Wunderbar gelegen im holländischen Viertel.

The best Lobster ever!! Try both: the butter Lobster and the Thermidor lobster. Ohh and the Salmon soup 🤤🤤🤤. Delicious!!

Schönes Fischlokal,um ungezwungen zu Speisen. Sehr nett!

Am 18.06.2023 hervorragende Scholle "Finkenwerder Art" (wir kommen von der Ostsee) gegessen. Preis-Leistung o.k. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienung! Gerne wieder!

Wir haben heute bei bestem Service hervorragend im Butt gegessen. Wir hatten eine Vorspeisenvariation und haben alle Suppen durchprobiert. Alles war vorzüglich! Zum Hauptgang hatten wir einige im ganzen gebratene Fische und alle waren perfekt zubereitet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Sehr gutes Fischrestaurant, freundlicher Service, ich werde zum Wiederholungstäter

Sehr leckere Fischsuppe gegessen.

Welche Freude, dass wir das doch noch erleben dürfen. Ambiente, Essen, Service (mit Unterhaltungscharakter, aber sehr angenehm), es hat uns sehr gefreut, Gäste im Butt zu sein. Warum waren wir nicht früher schonmal da? Auf alle Fälle nicht das letzte Mal. Bis bald.

Sehr gastorientiertes Verhalten. Essen war sehr lecker 😋 wir kommen sehr gerne wieder 😁

Super lecker Fisch 🐟 immer gerne wieder
