Gasthaus Alt Wien in Berlin

As always, it was very good. I highly recommend it.

Second time we go there and everything was super good. This time we had Schnitzel and it delicious! The Kaiserschmarrn was from another world. Great service as well. We will definitely come back.

Very tasty and super friendly service.

Simply a great restaurant, top quality food, nice service and a great atmosphere.

Absolutely the best schnitzel in Berlin! Cucumber salad is always really tasty with it and the potato salad is also great! I love it and no one else in Berlin can match it! I grew up on the Austrian border and finally found my fix 🤣🙌🏻! After 15 years in Berlin 🤣🙌🏻! At first impression the service staff always seems very grumpy and unfriendly but it always turns out to be spee sweet ;)! In real Viennese terms, you probably just don't understand them like we Bavarians do ;)! Order otherwise it may happen that you don't get a seat!

What was once my favorite restaurant in Berlin for traditional German food will probably not be visited by me for some time now... Despite a reservation and an early table at 6:30 p.m., it took about 70 minutes on a Thursday until we and everyone else got our food one by one. Asparagus, which submerged the entire plate and had no taste, as did the hollandaise. It was incredibly loud, there was great displeasure from the guests at the tables next to us and unfortunately overall it was a disappointment. Also: asparagus WITH schnitzel approx. 34€ and asparagus WITHOUT schnitzel approx. 27€! 27€ for 5 watery asparagus… unfortunately a no go.

Beautiful shop, great service! The food is ok, but I expected a little more quality for the money. Has and not convinced.

Went there with a reservation and asked whether we could also sit outside instead: not a problem. There was also no time slot/limit as some other reviews suggested. Friendly waiter, didn’t talk much and was straight to the point. Maybe some ppl regard this as rude. We liked it. Good draft beer and huge, thin veal schnitzel. Really good! Maybe not enough lemon, but extra lemon was served quick. Espresso a little soso. Prices normal.

Wien schnitzel at best quality, highly recommended, The staff was ok but could be much better!!.

Wonderful little place with the spirit of Vienna

Worst schnitzel and fries ever.

The schnitzels were, as always, very tasty. The cream slices and the dumplings were felt to be not seasoned enough. It was a bit loud in the room. It's a shame that you have to leave after 2 hours, it's not very comfortable.

All in one a great shop including good food. Service is top like everything else. The prices are justified for the portion. The service was very attentive and also responded to special requests. The long journey was worth it 😋

Simply the best Wiener Schnitzel! Undefeated for over 10 years. I eat schnitzel in other restaurants just to confirm that Alt-Wien's is the best.

Very good wiener schnitzel. We waited a lot, Too much and we paid one schnitzel more. And we couldn't order the dessert because the kitchen was closed, and they didn't say anything about the closing time of the kitchen

We won't be coming back, even though we always enjoyed staying here. Unfortunately we have been disappointed again... The service has decreased massively. We were left stranded repeatedly because the staff was inattentive. If you point out that something was served incorrectly, you will receive an incomprehensible explanation and as a guest it is essentially your own fault. We felt increasingly uncomfortable and the mood at the table was severely affected by the unprofessional behavior. There is also no indication that the kitchen is closed - we would have liked to have dessert. It has become virtually impossible to take up to 3 courses. Actually something every restaurant would be grateful for these days. We would have liked to have consumed more. I'll save myself and my family from having my evening ruined for a bill of 100 euros in the future. Just a shame!

If you are looking for a typical Viennese restaurant you will find it here. If the Senate improves the parking options, it will also be worth a trip for people from out of town. Even for Berlin with its many restaurants, a stylish Viennese restaurant like this is a rarity.

Food was excellent. Large portions. Not cheap. Nice waiter. It was full and we waited a long time for the food (which was fine with us). Classics from Austria

Thank you for the delicious food and the wonderful times with you.

I can definitely recommend it again and again

Great and friendly atmosphere, lovely food. Took quite a while for the food to be prepared but we didn't mind. Good quality, but some, especially vegetarian options, seem a bit overpriced.

Everything was great, very child friendly

Absolutely recommended - in all respects, but especially if you are very hungry👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽🫶🏽

The waiter was a bit too rude at the beginning. He immediately wanted us to pull the tables apart, sorry, not my job! We don't need to talk about the food, it was great as always! See you next time.

Smaller, very busy restaurant with excellent Wiener Schnitzel. Very tender veal schnitzel in a fluffy breading. Very large portion (2 schnitzels), so the price of just under 30 euros is reasonable. I also had a delicious, drinkable dark beer from Austria. Conclusion: Highly recommended. It's better to reserve online, as it's very busy!

Without exaggeration, the best Wiener Schnitzel I have ever eaten! In addition, a very very generous portion with perfectly seasoned potato salad and cucumber salad and very good beer. What more could you want?

Was fine until the young waiter mistakenly told us that we were coming to the end of our reservation time and I pointed out that we still had 40 minutes left. A shame he didn’t think to apologise for the mistake.

The Waitor was incredible! We've had a great time and food was super delicious!

As always, everything was perfect!!!

Never been treated so poorly by restaurant staff as we were at this place. Animals in an Eastern European circus get treated better than what foreign customers do here. Absolutely vile staff with no means to treat their customers well. Was the schnitzel good? Sure, it’s decent. But I rather starve than take myself back to this place after our encounter at this restaurant :-)

The best schnitzel in town!! So soft, so thin and not greasy. You don’t feel heavy after the big portion. The cheese spätzle are mouth watering. Everything on point. Prices could be lowered.

Very aggressive staff both the bigger lady and the man with the red glasses, almost felt threatening at the end

The food was very tasty and the schnitzel in particular is worth a second visit. The atmosphere was very cozy and somewhat rustic. We would come back.

Always top for more than 10 years

One of the best Schnitzel in town.

Best schnitzel, best Kaiserschmarrn. Best team. Gathered a small group for my birthday and everyone went home happy. You don't often have this intimate atmosphere - we love Old Vienna

It was again very good, service, food perfect, the tables are very narrow, so it was very loud.

Super delicious! I can only recommend it!

The attitude of the waitress makes you hate to come here

The food is okay so far, but not a special experience either. You can spend a cozy evening here as the atmosphere is very cozy and the shop is always full. You should therefore make a reservation urgently. The waiters are friendly, but I personally found the head waiter a bit stressful. Overall, I think the restaurant is a bit expensive for what it offers.

I enjoy eating here very often with family and friends. The food is really great. However, the service has now become very, very unfriendly. As an Austrian/Viennese, I'm used to grumbling, but yesterday it was just too much. The waitress was consistently unfriendly, but the waiter who didn't actually serve us wasn't much better either. What a shame!

I ordered a deep fried veal with picked cucumbers. They were very tasty. The staff member was friendly and helped me choose this dish. Austrian food is a must-try

A great way to eat wonderful schnitzel! We come here again and again and are always thrilled.

Best Wiener schnitzel in Berlin but it comes with the rudest waiter ( we have ever encountered ) that spoils the meal. We have visited many times and will never return while this waiter is in attendance. The two ladies who serve are the total opposite, they are very kind and helpful. Hopefully the man in question is sacked.

A schnitzel just like in the south. I'd love to come back!

As always, very good service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere

Really good schnitzel, but the Käsespätzle and also the Kaiserschmarrn was not our favorite

If you appreciate Austrian cuisine, you definitely have to try Alt Wien. And please don't always just eat Wiener Schnitzel. This is of course nothing to sneeze at. We had delicious warm boiled beef with fresh horseradish, then curd cheese dumplings and a WS. People know their craft. For dessert we had three kinds of parfait with apple strudel. Also very tasty. Order a table.

If you want a real HUGE Wiener Schnitzel in Berlin...

The food was really great! I had a veal wiener schnitzel which was cooked perfectly and served with a delicious potato salad. Unfortunately we had to wait 40 minutes for the main course because the service had forgotten our starter. When the waiter finally came, he put us under pressure and explained that it was now our decision: either the food would be thrown away or we would eat the main course first and the starter afterwards. Of course we decided on the main course, but we were a bit confused. Unfortunately there was no apology. Later we wanted to order another bottle of water, but had to wait 15 minutes and even ask again. Little by little we felt like we were no longer welcome. The wait for the bill also dragged on and we had to wait 15 minutes. When we then asked for a receipt, the service employee reacted with a dirty look, threw the receipt on the table without a word and moved on. At that moment we were all shocked and didn't know what was going on. When paying, we consciously decided not to tip because we didn't feel comfortable throughout the evening and felt that we were treated poorly by the service. But the employee didn't want to accept even that and asked us to give a tip. However, we stuck to our decision. It's a real shame because we really enjoyed the food. But this service employee completely ruined our Sunday evening in this restaurant. The only positive aspect of this encounter? We will definitely not forget this evening, even if for the wrong reasons.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently had the pleasure of dining at Gasthaus Alt Wien and can say that our visit was a complete success. An important note in advance: Since the restaurant is very popular and often busy, you should definitely make a reservation in good time. If you would like to stay longer than two hours, you should request this in advance. Unfortunately we hadn't done this in advance, but the friendly staff still allowed us to stay seated a little longer. This courteous service was the first plus point of our evening. The interior design is wonderfully rustic and exudes a cozy Viennese flair in which you immediately feel welcome. The waitress was extremely attentive and took care of our wishes with remarkable care. Since the restaurant was full that evening, we were even given a “tactical recommendation” to avoid having to wait 45 minutes for our food. We thought it was great that the team took an active role in making our evening as enjoyable as possible. During our visit we chose Viennese classics that turned out to be real culinary delights. The schnitzel came in perfect breading and was accompanied by a wonderfully seasoned potato and cucumber salad. The roast pork with bread dumplings and sauerkraut, which was beautifully tender and spicy, was also impressive. The crowning finale was the Kaiserschmarren, which was a complete delight with its fluffy consistency and typical sweetness. Overall, the Gasthaus Alt Wien completely impressed us with its harmonious ambience, attentive service and excellent dishes. We can only warmly recommend a visit there and are already looking forward to the next time.

One of my favorites in Berlin. The best schnitzels. But unfortunately the prices are going through the roof, which is less pleasing

Good food, attentive service, pleasant atmosphere - always happy!

Always a pleasure. The best schnitzel in town, professional service and delicious wine 👌🏼

Highest and best schnitzel density in the city. Tried and tested and consistent quality in the neighborhood for almost 15 years. In any case, reservations should be made and in the cold season the thick coats make it a bit cozy at the back of the wardrobe.

A very nice experience! Very friendly and professional. Wienerschnitzel phenomenal! We'd love to come back! Reservation is recommended.

Everything is perfect, just as you would expect from the Habsburgs and without any fancy. ULTRA SCREEN WALL!!

A negative example of how it couldn't be worse. The great dining experience was thoroughly spoiled by waiters who cheekily asked where the tip was. No further visit!

super tasty, food and wine. very nice and attentive service. have had a great evening!

A solid Wiener schnitzel with generous portions—reservations recommended for dinner.

one of the best schnitzel! Cozy spot and great staff and service.

We ate 4 people - the place is nice and very traditional. We paid for two dishes, a beer, apple juice and a cappuccino €65

Nice pub, good selection, with the option of opting for a small portion 👍 Cozy atmosphere. Reservation recommended. Despite having a reservation for 8 p.m. we had to wait about 10 minutes.

it's one of our favorite dishes when it comes to Wiener Schnitzel, the quality of this dish is amazing and be sure to order the whole set with cranberries and potato salad! Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff!

Delicious food, service ok, very tight and a bit mass processing (table for 2 hours, actually wanted to eat dessert, but despite free tables we had to pay and leave because the next guests were already there), the prices are unfortunately also very high .

Lovely little authentic place, food and drink were fabulous however the portions are HUGE we ordered tne schnitzel and we would have struggled to eat 1 between the 2 of us let alone a serving each. Service was lovely Only dropped 1 star as I don't like food waste and there wasn't really an atmosphere

Very tasty food, we particularly recommend the Wiener Schnitzel in various sizes.

This might just be the best schnitzel in Berlin! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the schnitzel was perfectly crispy without being greasy at all. The potato and cucumber salad was equally impressive—fresh, well-seasoned, and the perfect complement to the schnitzel. If you're looking for a delicious and authentic schnitzel experience in Berlin, this place is a must-try!

Very tasty food and very good service on New Year's Eve

Amazing experience, nice waiters and good food. Very abundant portions. I really suggest this restaurant if you are in Berlin.

Very good cuisine and a nice atmosphere!

Wonderful hospitality, thank you!

I was there with family for Christmas dinner. Food and service were very good. Waiter was friendly and attentive. Despite the full hut! The portions are a bit too big. Especially with Wiener Schnitzel. There is no more room for an appetizer. But Kaiserschmarrn always works. Delicious. We were satisfied. I'll be back.

Good food, the goulash was very tasty, although I would have liked some vegetables with it. The schnitzel was huge, but I personally thought there was too much breading on a super thin piece of meat. The cucumber salad was very fresh and tasty.

It was great, thank you very much 😊

We spontaneously ate at this restaurant and were lucky to get a table. A reservation seems necessary to me. We had the onion roast and two 1/4 goose with red and green cabbage, and two Kaiserschmarrn for dessert. The food was very tasty and the service was good.

The food was good. Unfortunately the service was very rude, dry and cold. No trace of Viennese charm. More like Berlin cockiness.

Food was OK. Service very unfriendly.

Friendly and delicious as usual. Best Schnitzel in town. Would recommend any time.

Very good schnitzel. But price-performance doesn't fit. Ambiance: it has become a hipster joint. Really horrible and uncomfortable. After 2 hours we were politely but firmly asked to pay. Processing like on an assembly line.

Responding to a friendly reservation request with “No, no, nothing” and hanging up without another word is unworthy of a restaurant. Get well soon to the lady and hopefully a more suitable calling in the future.

From the reservation the evening before to the bill, everything was wonderful... THANKS to the team

In general the food was very tasty, there were good portions and a large selection. The service was very friendly but everything could have been a little quicker. The atmosphere was nice too, we sat comfortably by the window. But I think the food was a little overpriced in a few places. I think €25 for a spinach feta strudel is too expensive.

This is a very pleasant restaurant with excellent Austrian food and drink, just like when I lived in Vienna. The problem is the attitude of the proprietor - I booked online and received a confirmation that we had a table for two hours, from 6.30-8.30. On entering, we were informed that we had from 6.30 - 8pm, which was a very peculiar way of greeting a guest. At 7.45 we were told that we had to vacate the table as the next guests had arrived, so we moved to the bar where there was a ‘reserved’ notice! Honestly, it would have been better if the restaurant had not accepted the reservation, but it shows where their priorities lie.

The menu at Gasthaus Altwien offers traditional classics such as Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz and Kaiserschmarrn - and every dish is prepared with great attention to detail. The ambience exudes the charm of a cozy Viennese inn. If you want to experience a piece of Austria in Berlin, this is the right place for you!

The reservation is only valid for 1.5 hours. Before you even take off your jacket, you are told this. The service man forgot to order our food. We actually had to wait over an hour for our food because he simply forgot it. After we had another 20 minutes to eat, the dishes were taken away from us - as soon as we had put the fork down - and an EC device was placed on the table. When I asked to at least drink my water in peace - I paid EUR 6.90 for the bottle! - was said “No, the others are already waiting” from the presumed owner. When I said that we were waiting an hour for the food he just said "What should I do? It's full". When I told him that we had been forgotten, we were asked to sit at the bar. I find it outrageous and disrespectful to act like this. The food is okay, but nothing special. The guests at 8 p.m. could have easily been seated at the bar for a drink until we finished our drinks. We couldn't have had dessert either because the service man messed up our order and so we had to eat faster anyway. I wonder if my plate would have been taken away if I hadn't finished eating yet. A real disgrace and absolutely not recommended due to a lack of manners. But no matter what - the store is running!

Chance hit while looking for a good Austrian restaurant half an hour away. Were a rehearsal dinner for a birthday group. Reservation recommended, it was quick and easy online. Menu very good. Food looks and tastes great, no frills, one of the best Viennese schnitzels in a long time, visually an eye-catcher. Price-performance ratio is definitely right here. We look forward to our next pre-booked visit to Old Vienna. December 2024, multiple repeat offender, after dinner there are beautiful shops nearby that invite you to take a stroll.

Excellent schnitzel in large quantity. Appointment required.

Consistent quality for many years. The prices are still acceptable after the increase. Classic: Wiener Schnitzel, the size of a plate, would also be a must for him in Vienna.

We had dinner together as a team. The reservation worked perfectly. The food was great and the service was very friendly.

Kitchen closed over an hour before closing; rude waiter

Gasthaus Alt Wien is a must-visit in Berlin! Their schnitzel is perfection—crispy, tender, and generously portioned, paired with fresh salads and excellent beer. The cozy Austrian-inspired ambiance and friendly service make it a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

food is rather good waiter was annoyed, so I didnt feel welcomed atmosphere is lovely! Like in Vienna

If you go there, you probably shouldn't make a reservation right at 6 p.m. (i.e. not right at the start of opening time). 1. You actually stand in front of the door in the cold until 5:59 p.m. and 59 seconds, even though everything seemed to be ready inside. Unpleasant. 2. You wait a very long time for the food to arrive (1 hour) because all the tables were occupied right from the start (and unfortunately also for the drinks). However, this shouldn't come as a surprise to the staff and they could certainly be better prepared. There was enough time to prepare... see 1. On the subject of ambience... it was really loud when we visited. Among other things, because families let their children run around in the restaurant. Maybe it was due to the “early” reservation (6 p.m.). And of course also the long waiting time, because after an hour it's hard to keep your 3 - 6 year old kids under control. It would also be nice if you received an unsolicited invoice that lists all the orders so that you can see the final amount without asking. But one thing has to be said... the food was great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Es ist wirklich fast wie in Wien! Das echte Wiener Schnitzel war hervorragend, der Service sehr umsichtig, aber unaufdringlich und humorvoll. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Feel good, enjoy, all around good

The food is undoubtedly first class. Unfortunately, the service falls short. A certain listlessness (or overwhelm) was clearly noticeable. And the fairly simple ambience is either deliberately old-fashioned or simply outdated. We couldn't classify that. Overall, a benevolent four stars

Absolutely great! My recommendation: cheese spaetzle.

The three of us ate there. The waiter was a bit stressed as there were a lot of people in the restaurant and we had to wait rather long as our order had somehow been lost or forgotten. As an apology, he didn't charge us for the drinks and the food was really tasty. I will definitely visit them again.

Wir waren sehr begeistert von der Atmosphäre , dem Flair und den fantastischen Speisen. Es war einfach toll. Vielen Dank.
