GARAGE du PONT in Potsdam

Nice cafe/restaurant. Excellent for sitting outside in the sun.

We were here for the first time in April 2024, looking for a slightly different restaurant - and we found it. Cool ambience, everything that fits with the history of this place. Seasonal dishes, currently all about wild garlic, well presented. The wild garlic soup was a bit thin for my taste, but it wasn't described as "cream soup", so it was all good. Lots of wines by the glass, which makes it possible to try out different things here. It's also nice to see that there are different German wines, greetings from Günther Jauch (even though I'm no longer a fan of GJ since he started advertising for a foreign online pharmacy - the other way around it would be like not drinking German wine anymore). And a request: please replace seltzer as the only water, there is regional and much better water here. The service was generally good, but could be a bit more proactive in some cases (no bread with soup). Conclusion: We would love to come back.

Great atmosphere, great cars that were there that day… Perfect. The food was delicious and the service was very nice!

Incredibly friendly staff who, through their friendliness, quickly talk you into a delicious dessert. The tarte flambées are definitely recommended!!!

What a lovely and original restaurant. We were invited to a private party and had a wonderful evening with delicious food, delicious wine and very friendly service. The ambience of these former gas stations from the 1950s gives the whole thing a nostalgic touch, which works brilliantly in combination with modern style. We will definitely stop by again on our next visit to Potsdam.

Best currywurst and fries in a long time at a fair price! Thank you for the warm welcome and service.

We were there on Valentine's Day, there was a great menu! We'll definitely come back :)

We ate there with seven people. The food was very tasty. Thursdays are currywurst day. Very good service, everyone very friendly. Is close to many Potsdam/Berlin attractions: Glienicke Bridge, Glienicke Castle and Hunting Lodge, Jungfernsee, Glienicke Park etc.

Full marks from me. 😀 We reminisced about our vacation in France and, as a car and vintage car lover, I really enjoyed the automotive surroundings.

The place is very picturesque. We tried the Thursday special...it was good. The chocolate mouse is very delicious. The attention very good.

Very nice bistro/restaurant on the Glieneker Bridge. A stop is worth it.

What a lovely evening, we all enjoyed it. Despite the high number of guests, everything was managed well. Many thanks to the staff

Nice place. Had a family celebration. Very tasty food, very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Nice selection of French dishes that are very delicately prepared.

Nice little restaurant. The service was friendly. The punch was very tasty. The question about gluten-free dishes was also answered very quickly.

Very tasty food. The service was very friendly and quick. The ambience is simply great.

Local 200 meters from the Bridge of Spies, location of some films, and real place of exchange of secret agents between East and West during the Cold War. Very nice, apparently a former service station, the interior is nice and soft, the food is excellent, the waiters are discreet and kind.

Very cozy restaurant and delicious food. We really liked it 😊

The four of us had dinner in the garage today and we were all satisfied. The entrecote was ok and, along with the salad and some vegetables and fries, it was also sufficiently sized. The venison goulash with dumplings and red cabbage was just as delicious as the quiche. The service was unobtrusively polite and the evening was so enjoyable all around - thank you very much!

Small, fine restaurant in a converted workshop right on the Glienicke Bridge. Very relaxed atmosphere with attentive service.

Ate a little something...everything looked good...tasted great...but it was just a small thing...service was top and everything was there quickly...very great ambience...

Just stop for a glass of white wine, a select variety - served at a comfortable temperature and enjoyed in the ambience. Thank you, always happy again! ...we were happy to have another wonderful, relaxing time with courteous service today. 👍

Very nice shop, good atmosphere and dog friendly :)

Very nice location, nice atmosphere, nice staff and delicious cakes, thank you very much

Great food, small but fine menu with seasonal dishes (it's pumpkin season right now). Parking in residential area.

Very good food, in my case a tarte flambée, friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere. Gladly again.

We had the PLEASURE of visiting this very special place in Potsdam mid September 2024 - enjoyed a lunch in the sun on a warm day sitting outside with a view to 2 older MB SL's This restaurant is located very close to the famous/historical Glienecker Brücke and to the lake - we will soon be back

We celebrated our wedding with 33 guests in the magical wine lounge, which is located on the upper floor. Here we also had a large terrace all to ourselves. A week before the event, the restaurant manager called Sammy again and went through all the details with me because she didn't want to leave anything to chance. The team lovingly prepared the room for us and set the table festively. Our spontaneous wish to decorate a little ourselves was also received with a lot of goodwill and made possible. Even on the day of the wedding, our every wish was met and made possible. We were spontaneously able to welcome two more guests - no problem for the garage team. We and our guests also messed up the schedule that had been set in advance because we were very hungry - no problem here either, as the food was served earlier. Everyone agreed: the food was great! Also definitely worth mentioning are the creative and extremely tasty cocktails from Chriss, the Garage bartender. He surprised us throughout the evening with cocktails like the Pralinchen, Martini Pornstar, Daiquiris and others! Our thanks for this super relaxed celebration go to the garage team, especially Jette, Max, Sammy and Chriss!

We came for the currywurst and were surprised by the “lavender praline”. Unexpected but great with many facets, we found one of the best drinks in the city in the Berlin suburb. Recommendation and thumbs up - as well as for the currywurst.

Mega delicious food and nice service! The food came quite quickly and the dessert was amazing 🤩. Only the parking situation is really difficult. There are far too few parking spaces and there is hardly any parking in the area. Otherwise we would love to come back! 😊

It was a lovely pit stop after a long and beautiful day. The staff was very welcoming despite a busy terrace. The food choices are very interesting, and I say that in the best possible way. The whole concept of the place is well curated and maintained.

Nice restaurant to eat and relax.

We passed the Garage du Pont relatively late in the evening after a walk through Babelsberg Park and were in the mood for a little nightcap - the currywurst for a small appetite and delicious cocktails convinced us. Just right for a summer evening!

Very tasty food!!! The waitress was very friendly. She also speaks Spanish, super cool.

We were spontaneously in the garage recently and had the pleasure of being seated close to the counter. This meant we had the pleasure of ordering our drinks directly from the bartender. He gave us very good advice and the drinks were totally refreshing. We ordered the schnitzel with chanterelles, which was also very tasty. We'd love to come back. Many thanks to the entire team.

An absolute highlight in Potsdam! The Garage du Pont impresses with a unique atmosphere that immediately invites you to stay longer. The dishes are not only excellently presented, but also tasteful at the highest level. The team is incredibly friendly and attentive, you immediately feel welcome. We were particularly impressed by the seasonal dishes, the lovingly selected wines and great cocktails. We will definitely be back and can only warmly recommend this gem. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

On Sunday I stopped by this restaurant with my partner to have something to eat and a few drinks. We ordered a great schnitzel and very good drinks. We were also served extremely politely and courteously. The bartender in the house recommended great drinks to our taste, which were convincing. After the evening we left the restaurant feeling full and feeling good and will definitely come back.

Nice spot in Potsdam, definitely recommended! Aside from the delicious cocktails and food, the restaurant scores highly when it comes to service. The waiters are very nice and open-minded, the bartender is extremely competent. We were presented with new and promising cocktails - a real experience! We'd love to come back. LG

After always hearing very nice things about the Garage du Pont, I recently went in: Great cocktails! Really recommended. The ambience is also very pleasant. Overall: I'll come back with friends and then we'll test the interesting menu.

I proposed to my wife here and the team at Garage du Pont perfected the day with their excellent service and exquisite food. In particular, the creative bar with its delicious cocktails always makes me want to stop by spontaneously.

I had a fantastic time in the garage! The location is really unique and offers a great atmosphere for after-work parties. The service is super friendly and attentive. The cocktails are absolutely sensational - every drink is a little surprise! I was particularly impressed by the creative, homemade cocktails, as they are prepared with exceptional ingredients and great attention to detail. Every cocktail has its own unique character. A great place to meet up with friends and enjoy the evening. Absolutely recommended!

The garage is highly recommended. Be it for eating or just drinking. The dishes on offer are outstanding, for example the tarte flambée. But you can also get delicious cocktails at the bar. The bartender obviously enjoys fulfilling it, even if you express a special cocktail request. The location is divided into two, events such as after-work parties take place at the back and the restaurant is at the front. Very rustic and comfortably furnished.

Very good food, but not cheap. Since it's right on a busy street, it's relatively noisy. But that's no surprise since it's an old, converted gas station. This gives it a special flair.

Very good tarte flambée, very nice staff, a nice restaurant for a sunny Sunday lunch.

Was tasty, nice retro french ambiance

Insanely delicious food, great diverse selection of drinks! Our wedding celebration took place in the wine lounge in June, where the organization, service and cuisine were also on point. Clear recommendation, we will be regular guests :)

Oldest gas station in Potsdam. Lovingly restored.

The service and the speed for a group of people was terrible.

Very tasty tarte flambée, nice service... gladly again

I went to the afterwork party in the garage with my sister and we had a wonderful time with good food, delicious cocktails, nice service and very good music. We will definitely come by again!

Very interesting for small snacks

I always enjoy coming back. To recommend.

Delicious food, delicious cocktails and very nice service in a nice atmosphere.

Great location right on the Glienicke Bridge. The food and service are very good. Here, emphasis is still placed on good quality. The currywurst or the tarte flambée are highly recommended.

I had a really nice after-work evening. The location is really cool, the currywurst is super tasty, the fries are super crispy and the cocktails were my absolute highlight. The service is friendly and quick. I will definitely come by more often 😊

I only drank coffee, but the food looked delicious.😋 Original location with a historical environment.👍

Cool, fresh cuisine, nice service, and even the head chef has an ear open for us guests, top performance

After the tour and the visit to the Glienicke Bridge, I went to the Garage du Pont. An old gas station at the entrance to Potsdam that has been lovingly renovated and converted into a restaurant. Coffee and cake rounded off the trip.

Super friendly and fit team, very tasty food, great atmosphere! One of the best restaurants in Potsdam!

Great location for a cozy meal in the evening. Very nice service and delicious food in a great atmosphere. There's a holiday feeling here.

Real recommendation and always a good point of contact..

The food was good. The dishes we ordered came quickly. We had to wait a little longer for the first drink. Petsonal is nice and hard-working, but you get the feeling that they don't have a plan or overview. The niceness of the waiters and delicious food neutralized any small shortcomings. We will be back definitely.

Ordered an aperitif that didn't come and when the food came, we got our aperitif.. 🤔 Young staff who didn't have much control over things and overall it seemed more like a cafeteria than a restaurant.

An original idea to set up a restaurant in the old gas station, which actually used to be one. With the nice weather, we had seats outside next to a (not real) gas pump. Both the asparagus dishes and my "COQ AU VIN" were very good. The comment when ordering the wine was a bit irritating. But we got a suitable wine. After a visit to Glienicke Castle or the New Garden, you can have a good meal here at the end of the day.

One of my favorite French restaurants, the staff are adorable and funny! Always delicious food and exceptional cocktails.

Quaint restaurant with delicious dishes

Good food at reasonable prices. It's very nice to sit outside.

Very nice, conveys a French feeling, food very good and plentiful, service attentive, nice, ambience good

A very nice location The food was very good and tasty The staff very competent Parking space available I will gladly come again

Super great atmosphere... Nice staff who were there quickly and friendly despite a larger celebration. We were there at coffee time and enjoyed home-baked cakes and delicious latte macchiato or apple spritzer.

We spontaneously came here for drinks and were impressed by the special cocktails. We asked for an "off-menu" cocktail and were very happy with the creation!

Makes a better impression from the outside than it actually is. We found it incredibly loud. In our opinion, the food was nothing special and was not a taste highlight. The service was just bad. No questions asked if we would like anything else. Waitress was busy eating the leftover bread from our bread basket and then ran to the next table with her mouth full.

Very nice restaurant. Despite a lot of stress, very nice service.

What a nice atmosphere, starting with the service, the guests and the decor of the place! We had very tasty food and were able to enjoy a relaxed lunch straight after crossing the Glienicke Bridge - we'd love to come back!

We had a family celebration and felt very well looked after

Very nice there. To eat and watch. Friendly, attentive staff.

We were recommended several different cocktails and wines, all of which were very special and, above all, extremely tasty. The service was extremely attentive and courteous, and the food was delicious. 1000% recommendation. Thank you for the lovely evening. Greetings from Bamberg Josch

Had a private appointment on site and the premises for us. Thanks to the guys at the bar - a great experience with you. It was a great evening!!!

In addition to an atmospheric ambience, an extremely friendly welcome, courteous service and great food, the extremely experienced insider advice at the bar on special spirits and cocktails will be remembered...We'll be back soon!!

We stopped by spontaneously yesterday when we were nearby. We were very positively impressed. Food tasty and quickly prepared (coq au von and tarte flambée). We then stayed longer after the meal and had a few drinks based on the recommendations of the very friendly and competent bartender. Nice ambience and relaxed atmosphere. Very fine.

Above all, the location is super cute. The food is quite basic but tastes good and the wine is from Günther Jauch's winery and is delicious.

Unique atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly team.

Fast and polite service, good food, fair prices, nice place to sit in the sun...

Great evening! The food was excellent and the service was first class. The individual advice on cocktails was particularly great and every drink tasted great! If you want to spend a nice evening and have great drinks... clear recommendation!!!

The food was excellent. A service person was very friendly, clear and understanding. The music was a little too loud. When we asked to turn it down a little, another service worker gave us a critical answer: "What's even quieter?" . Music was still turned down. Parking is available, but narrow and only limited space. All in all a very nice restaurant, with very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. Toilets also very clean and nicely decorated.

Nice atmosphere, and they understand to treat the clients well.

The visit was great. Great end to the end of the day. What I particularly liked was the cocktail advice. Had an awesome whiskey sour with smoke. I've never drunk like that before. I can definitely recommend it and will come back.

Totally relaxed atmosphere, waiters who have still learned their job, delicious small menu with a large wine list - as pleasant as a ride in a beautiful vintage car.

This restaurant is absolutely recommended. The meat dishes and the salad are simply great! I also liked that there were cloth napkins. And no mayo/ketchup everything was served in a container.

Went to the Garage du Pont for a spontaneous date with my girlfriend - and loved it! Great service, delicious food! But what particularly rounded off the evening were the bartender's cocktails. We'll definitely be back. ;)

Before our child was born, my partner and I wanted to go out for a nice meal. We chose Garage du Pont and loved it! There were delicious (vegan) dishes and the bartender knew how to serve me a fantastic non-alcoholic cocktail while I was pregnant, which not only suited my taste but was also damn tasty without being just a wild mixture of juices like it was This is usually the case with non-alcoholic cocktails. It was an overall lovely restaurant experience!

The stay in the Garage du Pont was not only spontaneous for the first time, but also of omnipotent proportions. We just wanted to go for a coffee and maybe have an alcoholic drink. However, thanks to great advice from Chris (the local bar god), we got an excellent gin and tonic tasting. To provide sufficient basis, we ate the Alsatian style tarte flambée and I (as a chef) have to say that it was one of the best tarte flambée I have eaten so far. Ambience, staff, cuisine: everything excellent. Only recommended.

Excellent food, a very cozy atmosphere and a super friendly bar tender! We received an excellent gin excursion. And I ate probably the best tarte flambée. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

Highly recommended, especially the tarte flambée and the entrecôte! Many thanks to Singh for the great service. :)

Leckerer Kaffee, nettes Personal

Schon recht hochpreisig, guter Service und gutes Ambiente.

I was very impressed by Chris, the bartender. The first drink was great, but what stood out was that Chris took the intiative, asked questions, and made recommendations of cocktails that were amazing. He knows taste palettes. And I haven't had so much fun drinking in years!

Ein wirklich chilliges Restaurant mit leichter französischer Küche, wo man es gut aushalten kann. Besonders zu empfehlen ist die extrem leckere Fischsuppe. Besonders positiv aufgefallen ist der Service. Angefangen vom Barkeeper, der individuell berät und Cocktails vorschlägt, die nicht auf der Karte stehen und sehr lecker sind. Bis hin zur ausgezeichneten Bedienung, besonders der blonde junge Mann, der ausgezeichnet bei der Weinauswahl berät und freundlich das gastronomische Erlebnis nochmal steigert.

Dort ist man absolut willkommen.

Hier ist ein ganz besonderer Ort. Das Essen war phänomenal. Einfach große Klasse. Wir haben es sehr genossen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
