Dorfaue - Berlin in Berlin

The food was top class and the decor was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Service was absolutely brilliant. We'd love to come back again and again!!!

A beautiful restaurant, I always drove past it. Rustic and cozy, I can only recommend it. We felt very comfortable.

Yesterday we went to a Christmas dinner in the Dorfaue with 5 people. Since it was very busy, we had already planned for a longer wait. The dishes were very tasty, so much so that we didn't even notice the salad was missing from the two pieces of ox we ordered. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to determine whether this was taken into account in the price due to the missing invoice, which was completely soaked yesterday. In the future, you should complain immediately and ask for a dry invoice when paying.

The food is delicious, the prices are steep and the ambience is quite nice, even if I think that a table for two people doesn't have to have a life-size 🐿️ on a table lamp, it's quite tight even without it. They might have gotten one more star if the dark-haired waiter hadn't been so unbearably arrogant, loud and almost unfriendly. A customer immediately left, saying that he was very unfriendly.

A very spontaneous decision with the help of Google reviews led me to a feast with the family on my birthday. 100% satisfaction and the certainty that we will come back! THANKS TO THE KITCHEN & SERVICE & THE OWNERS

Finally a restaurant with a chance of staying there for a long time

Food was delicious again. The spaetzle and fried potatoes were very tasty 😋. I always eat ox fetzle there, they are small fillets of beef very tasty 😋 the Kaiserschmarren is also delicious. My husband likes snails 🐌. The first thing asked is “is there snail soup.” The elephant's ear is also a delicious schnitzel with a crispy breading. It's worth a visit.

Only the Kaiserschmarrn was a fried ball mass

Very good food, friendly service. Completely satisfied

We had reserved a table for today, after we had to wait a moment because the restaurant was full of guests at the time, we were assigned a table (in the new living room 😆) The food, duck, roast Schäufele and the two sausage salads were delicious. After the waiter asked us if we liked the food, we answered yes, only the sausage salad was a little less than usual. The sausage salad was then deducted from the bill. Thanks again for the friendly service. We'll be back.🫶

Discovered by chance! Unfortunately due to time constraints only coffee and cake! But a great restaurant with first-class service! And what we saw on the plates was excellent!

We liked it, the food was very tasty!

Unfortunately I had bad luck with the Schäufelebraten. The crust was missing, it was only served with a thick layer of fat, unappetizing. The dumplings were totally over salted, the so-called Riesling herb was brown, overcooked, tasted strong and salty, and another person at the table didn't like it either. Only the meat itself was very tender and tasty with a strong, authentic sauce, but since I could only return the entire meal, I didn't get to enjoy the meat. Hopefully it was still used. I was offered every other dish without paying extra, which I thought was very nice, but everything except ox shreds couldn't be served quickly, so I did that out of consideration for my table neighbors, who had ordered and eaten earlier than me and were just waiting for my food (Waiting time very long overall, almost 1 hour). This meal didn't convince me either, nor did two others at the table. The salad dressing was very strict, the fried potatoes were not crispy, bland, no bacon and hardly any onion. The meat is tender, but only with a mini piece of herb butter. In my opinion, a loveless mass processing. We actually wanted to go there again in December with a larger group, but we're still undecided. It's a shame, the guest rooms really appealed to me.

The location Zur Dorfaue on the old Heiligensee is really something really nice. The ambience, put together with minimal effort by the old owner, promises an enjoyable stay. The many really good paintings are particularly worth highlighting. The finest dishes on the menu. When it comes to ingredients, great emphasis is placed on fresh and local sources. I had the duck and couldn't get enough of the delicious dumplings! We were more than satisfied and left a decent tip. I'm already looking forward to the next visit! Warmest regards, Jürgen

Eating has been like this...since the new owner took over...and it's important to dress warmly as it's freezing cold in the shop

We were there on Sunday at 12 p.m. The service was very nice, attentive and quick from start to finish. Even when it was quite full, we continued to receive very good service! A piece of pork fillet from my Swabian plate wasn't enough for me. The nice waitress immediately had it re-fried in the kitchen and my plate came back to the table after 5 minutes with additional mushroom sauce. Really great! The spaetzle was very good, as was the sauce. The Maultaschen a bit dry, but the taste was ok. The onion roast with spaetzle and salad was perfectly fried and surrounded by lots of delicious onion sauce. Overall we were very satisfied. The atmosphere is good, middle-class. That goes with the food. Next time I'll try the Schäufelebraten :)

A nice restaurant, Swabian Ambiance, dishes can only be recommended. Prices correspond to the good quality

Good southern German cuisine. Restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Fast and friendly service. Reservation is advisable.

Great and delicious food, very nice atmosphere and service. Price, quality and service very good 👍

Very nice and friendly service and atmosphere. The food was excellent and the beer was delicious.

Delicious Baden cuisine. Here you can also get German dishes that you don't usually find on the menu. Friendly service and cozy restaurant.

The store was packed. Nevertheless, the service was quick and very friendly. Food and drinks were good and plentiful at reasonable prices. Visit again and again and let yourself be pampered.

Super great restaurant. The food is very tasty and you feel in good hands, whether for dinner or a larger celebration. Highly recommended.

Top, very good and genuine German home cooking. We were 4 people who came in the evening as the last guests and ordered 4 different dishes which were all delicious as well as very good draft beer. Super

We always enjoy eating here. The food is delicious, the service is always quick and friendly, everything is great

A great restaurant with home-style, southern German cuisine. The interior is a matter of taste, I come for the food and not to get inspiration for my interior design. In addition to the excellent food, I would particularly like to praise the excellent service. We were served by an extremely friendly gentleman who I don't think even realized what a great job he was doing. Extremely friendly without being fake, always approachable but never intrusive. The recommendations were also top notch without exception. He even dealt confidently with difficult guests who behaved terribly. I'm already looking forward to the next visit

Very good to sit and enjoy the excellent food in peace

A very nice atmosphere, very tasty food and super nice staff, I was completely satisfied and felt very comfortable. Always happy and can only recommend dining there!

Typical old Berlin restaurant. Food very tasty with reasonable prices. Service was friendly and joking.

Very tasty food, fast and friendly service, great ambience. We came across this restaurant by chance and were more than satisfied. Can only be recommended.

Delicious food again, great quality, great service, nice to have you there. We always, always come back.

Very tasty food, highly motivated staff and the ambience suits the memory card. We'll be back. Keep it up.

Is a rustic restaurant that scores with a variety of dishes and a good price-performance ratio. Centrally located in Alt-Heiligensee and recommended.

The store is closed until September 3, 2024!

We came because of the Hachse, but it was already sold out at 4 p.m., which was very annoying. We found the volume to be very loud in the small room and it was not possible to have a comfortable conversation. The food had been good.

It is not possible to reserve a table by telephone. This should be remedied as quickly as possible. After 40 minutes we got our drinks. The food was ok, but we waited another 20 minutes for the bill. The service needs to be greatly improved.

Tasty, but takes a while when it's full.

We really liked it 🤗 there were chanterelles, knuckle, duck and a fish pot 😋

Rustic atmosphere, super nice service and the food is convincing

Very good and tasty food. I had duck with a fabulous homemade red cabbage.

Very tasty food, fair prices and great service

We are always ready to welcome guests here over a longer period of time. The cuisine is southern German and an exception for Berlin. Food is without chi chi, but delicately seasoned and honest and without tam tam. There is hardly any left. I would describe the quality of meat and vegetables as very, very high. Not a bit was messed up in any way. This really borders on a small miracle after all these years. Quality as a whole is always at a very high, consistent level. You have to do that first, only very few people can do that. One reason why we travel about an hour to get here. There hasn't been a dish so far that has disappointed anyone. Please be sure to reserve in advance and check the changing menu. For hot summer days I recommend the fried potatoes with the pickled sour meat (cold). Simply great class. Grandma (and she knew really excellent Pomeranian cuisine) She couldn't have done it better!!!! Big compliments to everyone there!!! Simply very good cuisine in a nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back

als wir unangemeldet kamen wurden wir darauf hingewiesen, dass es 3 bis 3 Stunden dauern könnte. bis wir zu Essen bekämen, da erst die Gäste , die sich angekündigt hatten, ABER NOCH NICHT ANWESEND WAREN, bedient werden müssten. SOLANGE MÜSSTEN WIR DANN WARTEN... Dies haben wir noch nie in einem Restaurant so erfahren, auch nicht in einem Sternerestaurant , weder in Deutschland noch in Frankreich oder Italien...

Swabian cuisine, the way it should be. Even if it's "ywd", it's still worth the journey. Very nice beer garden, also a harmonious atmosphere inside. Service very attentive and quick. Sanitary rooms very clean. If you don't have a car, the bus stops in front of the door.

Delicious Swabian cuisine in Heiligensee with charming service. Large beer garden. My favorite place is the small terrace at the entrance.

Still old atmosphere...conditions attentive..

Super nice service and delicious food. We always enjoy being there again.

The "Dorfaue" is beautifully located and offers a very interesting menu with dishes that you would rarely or never find anywhere else - and at really affordable prices. The food was great and the staff was super friendly. We would love to come back here!

Very good food, friendly service..

This is service! Actually 6 stars.

Yes, very good cuisine, great beer garden and friendly service.

Quietly located restaurant, but still very busy. I recommend making reservations in advance.

A good restaurant. The outside area could be optimized in terms of design.

Unfortunately we cannot agree with the good reviews regarding the quality of the food. My Maultaschen on spinach were vegetarian, which was not stated on the menu. They were dry and tasted nothing like you. The breading on my husband's elephant ear was relatively burnt. We expected more from the food. The portions were very large, we would have preferred more quality. Overall disappointing for us.

You enter the DORFAUE hungry and come out full and satisfied ❗️👍🏼 On our first visit today we had 1/2 duck with wonderfully fluffy dumplings and red cabbage as well as the Schäufelebraten with also dumplings and vine cabbage. Both very delicious 👌🏼. Since dessert was absolutely no longer possible, we took two pieces of cake home with us. Conclusion: Priced correctly and tasty ❗️ Went here again with friends on May 3rd. This time the food was actually even better, it's really amazing how well the food is cooked here, you're hardly used to that in Berlin's nightlife restaurants!! We had a wonderful afternoon, also because of the totally happy, funny and attentive service from Lübeck!! Now you won't be able to get rid of us 🤷🏼‍♀️

.. were there for the first time yesterday .. we can recommend it 100% .. , delicious food, good service and the ambience is right .. , we will come back and recommend it to others !!!!

Good food, but takes a while. With Swabian dishes. Nice beer garden. Nice little town on the outskirts of Berlin.

We have been here several times and we really enjoyed it, the service was very good and the food was also very tasty

Very good food! We were here for the umpteenth time. This time with a visitor (for the half maraton). Everyone was again enthusiastic about the service and food. Service is always friendly and fun. Our visit was also of the opinion that we have to go here again.

Super friendly and delicious restaurant. We were there for the first time and felt very comfortable. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and funny.

Nice restaurant located in the village center, great. The service was very friendly, with its dry manner, there was actually nothing to complain about with the food, it was very lightly seasoned and everyone had to add salt. But recommended

I COULDN'T EVALUATE THE FOOD AFTER 1 HOUR 20 STILL NOT THERE EASTER MONDAY NOT FULL THAT'S A JOKE THAT I CAN'T LAUGH AT

Very tasty food. Especially the duck. The service was also very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back.

Despite a reservation, we were shown to a completely dirty table. The request to re-cover was met with defiant response. In the end we were seated at another table. The waiter was extremely unfriendly and inattentive. The food was good and fresh. After eating you sat for a long time in front of empty plates and no one asked for new drinks. You were asked if you wanted dessert after you asked to pay four times. The service has to change something as quickly as possible, otherwise I'll see nothing.

Very tasty food...unfortunately not very cheap...the service is friendly and fast...I'll definitely eat there again when I'm nearby.

I went to eat Schäufele today and was so disappointed, the bite got stuck in my throat. When we complained, the boss told us that she even had a hand in it and didn't understand why it didn't taste good. The old, great cook and the brilliant waitress have probably left the sinking ship.

We eat here often and have never been disappointed. Kitchen is also very flexible and caters to special requests. The service is super friendly.

As always, everything was great

Very nice restaurant with great home cooking, very funny boss, we will definitely come back.

Food was very good, service was very friendly, we felt comfortable!

Great atmosphere and now also very good and fast service! And sumptuous and excellent food!! A restaurant that we like to visit for celebrations.

Restaurant idyllically located in the village green of Heiligensee with parking spaces in front of the house. Rustic atmosphere and a menu with typical Swabian cuisine.

Great food. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. All in all nice shop. Gladly again

Nice atmosphere, well eaten deer goulash very tender.

I like to eat there with my father, but also with friends. Nobody has ever complained, everyone always enjoyed it, friendly service and delicious beer, what more could you want! 😋😁

There is very tasty Swabian cuisine here. The offer is clear but varied: duck, ox shreds, Schäufele, Kaiserschmarrn, Maultaschen, etc. We eat there regularly, it's always fantastic. There are also good wines or the delicious beer schnapps Ambrosius. Definitely try it. The service is attentive and entertaining. Be sure to book a table, it is always well attended.

Wir waren gestern mit Freunden dort das erste Mal essen. Es gibt ja leider immer weniger Restaurants mit deutscher Küche bei uns in der Gegend. Wir hatten zu 18 Uhr einen Tisch reserviert, wir kamen an und hatten eine frei Platzwahl. Die Kellnerin hat uns mehr als herzlich begrüßt und den ganzen Abend über begleitet. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Alles frisch und selbst gekocht. Die Portionen waren groß, sodass jeder von uns Satt wurde. Ein Dessert probieren wir beim nächsten Mal. Unser Fazit: ein gemütliches Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen und super freundlichen Personal. Da kommen wir gerne wieder. Dafür gibt es 5/5 Sterne 😊

Sehr leckeres Essen. Super freundliche Bedienung und schönes Ambiente. Preis Leistungs Verhältnis auch vollkommen ok. Wir kommen wieder

Wir waren nur dort um etwas zu trinken, aber sehr nettes freundliches Personal. Nett eingerichtet. Gerne wieder!

Essen war super lecker. Die Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir waren mit 3 Personen und Hund am 7.1.24 dort und vollkommen zufrieden. Gute süddeutsche Küche! Kann ich gut beurteilen, da ich selbst in BW aufgewachsen bin.

Alles zu meiner Zufriedenheit gerne wieder 👍 👍

Es tut mir ja leid, aber das Essen über die Weihnachtsfeiertage war im Höchstfall mittelmäßig. Schnitzel war teilweise viel zu dunkel, teilweise war die Panier viel zu hell.

Gemeinsames Entenessen war sehr stark. Ganz liebe Kellnerin. Ente für unter 20 Euro. Leckerer Rotkohl. Leckerer Glühwein. Alles top und gerne wieder. Danke

Der Gänsebraten und die 1/2 Bauernente waren sehr lecker! Trotz überfüllten Restaurant war die blonde Bedienung sehr nett und aufmerksam. Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Abend und kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Sehr empfehlenswert gewesen..🤩 Gastwirt war äußerst freundlich. Das Ganze Personal war sehr freundlich,habe selten so freundliche Personal im Gastro kennengelernt. Das Lokal war sehr schön und ich würde Jedem empfehlen der mal echt Gute Ente essen möchte, dort essen zu gehen!. Best Leistung sowohl im Service als im Geschmack. Das Ambiente war sehr Fantastisch. Volle 5 Sterne!!!.

Ich kann die positiven Rezensionen gar nicht nachvollziehen. In meinen Augen geht das dort überhaupt nicht. Man wird nicht in Empfang genommen und willkommen geheißen (obwohl Tisch bestellt war). Von Vorspeisen wird abgeraten ( der unfreundliche Kellner meint urteilen zu können mit welchen Hunger man da hinkommt bzw was man schafft oder nicht). Zum Hauptgericht: Ente und Gans mehr als trocken und unterschiedliche Portionen auf den Tellern (obwohl gleiches Gericht bestellt). Rotkohl und Grünkohl kalt. Eine kleine Schale Grünkohl sollten wir uns zu viert teilen. Beim Rotkohl war es großzügiger verteilt, da konnten wir uns 3 Schälchen teilen. Nachtich, nachdem mehrfach an unserem Tisch vorbei gegangen wurde ohne mal ein Teller abzuraümen, geschweige das man noch etwas zu trinken hätte bestellen wollen, mussten wir tatsächlich 3x nach der Karte fragen ( es war nämlich nicht möglich eine am Tisch zu behalten, da es nicht genügend gäbe, so die Information vom unfreundlichen Kellner). Nachtisch war soweit ok, was kann man an Eis und Sahne groß falsch machen. Hunde sind willkommen, was im Biergarten völlig okay ist, aber bitte nicht im innen Bereichen, wo schon 3 Hunde vom Besitzer (anscheinend) verweilen, wobei der eine bellte und der andere sich fröhlich auf dem Läufer sühlte und lustig durch das Restaurant schlendert. Alles in allem die reinste Katastrophe. Und ich frage mich woher der Kellner ins kannte? Von uns kannte ihn definitiv niemand. Aber warum hat er uns immer mit Du angesprochen? Um nicht noch weiter auszuholen, denke ich das das vorerst reicht!!!

Gänsebraten war sehr lecker. Es hat nur ca 1 Stunde gedauert bis er kam.

Bitte was anderes suchen!! Wo soll man da bloß anfangen. Trotz Reservierung gab es Probleme beim Tisch, dann war der Tisch nicht eingedeckt - okay, aber statt beispielsweise einen Teller mit Besteck auf den Tisch zu stellen oder dass die Kellnerinnen das übernehmen, werden mitten im Gespräch das Messer und die Gabel auf Augenhöhe dem Gast ins Gesicht gehalten. Dann gab es Probleme bei der Bestellung: Statt zu Beginn zu sagen: "Heute haben wir leider nicht alles im Angebot, aber unserer Empfehlung ist xy.", werden die Bestellungen aufgenommen, um anschließend zu sagen, dass es das nicht gibt. Dann muss per Handmeldung abgezählt werden, ob der Inhalt des Bestellzettels mit den Bestellungen übereinstimmen (und das 3x) .. Alle Bestellungen (Getränke, wie Kaffee und Kuchen und später auch warme Speisen) kommen vereinzelt, sodass ein gemeinsamer Start schwierig wird bzw. unmöglich, da teilweise der Kuchen so weit vor dem Kaffee serviert wurde, dass dieser längst aufgegessen war. Die Getränke werden nicht an den Platz gebracht, sondern am Anfang des Tisches abgestellt, damit jeder das Getränk einmal angefasst und durch die Reihen geben konnte. Die selben Kaffeegetränke sind in unterschiedlich Gläsern (einfaches Ikeaglas, Cocktailsglas usw.), mal mit mal ohne Milchschaum, serviert worden. Die halbe Ente (die sehr klein ausfällt) war salzig und ungenießbar - wurde gleich zurückgeschickt. Immerhin kam eine neue Portion, die aber auch nicht essbar war: Soße pures Fett uns wässrig, Klöße wie eine Fertigmischung und nur der Rotkohl war ok, aber auch verbesserungswürdig. Das Kalbsschnitzel ist groß, aber ohne Liebe gemacht. Die Kellnerin machte eine unbeholfenen Anschein und war teilweise sehr aufdringlich: Beugte sich zwischen die Köpfe, nur Zentimeter neben den eigenen, sodass man zur Seite rücken musste und erzählte private Geschichten. Wir waren 12 Personen und keiner ging heraus und würde dieses Restaurant weiterempfehlen.

Leckeres Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Ich hatte das Elefantenohr

Der Schwabenteller war reichlich, das Fleisch an der Grenze zu trocken. Spätzle sehr lecker, die Maultasche auch. Allerdings sollte man einen schwäbischen Kartoffelsalat meiner Meinung nach nicht aus übrigen Salzkartoffeln vom Vortag machen...dat is nix. Service war sehr aufmerksam und freundl.

Die beste Gans in Berlin und ein sehr unterhaltsamer Service. Das kann ich nur empfehlen!

Wir waren schon des öfteren dort und waren immer zufrieden. Besonders lecker, neben allen anderen Gerichten auch, der Zwiebelrostbraten. Besonders freundlich und sehr nett und aufmerksam, Marianne .Wie kommen wieder. Hunde sind willkommen. Dankeschön.

Superleckeres Essen (Ente), toller Service und gemütliches Ambiente!

Sehr nettes Team. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Der Kuchen war nicht sooo der Burner, aber sonst alles super.

Super leckere Leberknödelsuppe und Spätzle mit Linsen gegessen und dazu eine sehr umgängliche Bedienung.

Absoluter Geheimtipp in Berlin! Deutsche Küche wie früher bei Oma!

Sehr leckere deutsche Küche. Viel selbstgemacht. Auch die Kuchen und Torten sind super lecker

Das Essen war sehr gut ,alles frisch und reichlich. Das Personal ist auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Torten sind sehr zu empfehlen

The best schnitzel I have eaten. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Additionally extremely helpful with offering directions. The atmosphere of the restaurant was comfortable and the food was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Furthermore, there is an outside beer garden to sit in which looked gorgeous. I highly recommend this place.

Gutes Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung - schön zweimal sehr zufrieden gewesen, komme wieder!
