Gasthaus Leiterwagen in Bernau bei Berlin

The food is very good, we have been here several times. As long as you don't annoy the staff, they are friendly. We asked for the bill and waited until she had cleaned the empty tables, but then she stood there and did nothing and just looked around. We were surprised. Then we called her again and asked if we would like our bill, please. We must have woken her up and that bothered her, then she came and said we have other guests. But that is not true, she just stood there and looked around and watched her colleagues taking their orders. It's a shame, the food is very good. But there is a lovely Greek restaurant nearby where the food is also excellent.

Four of us were there, and we were able to spontaneously move up our reservation. The staff was attentive, efficient, and friendly. The food was very good. A wonderful Sunday, thanks to the ladder truck team. Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back.

We spontaneously stopped by for dinner on Saturday. We all enjoyed it very much. I had the goulash, and apart from the portion size, everything was perfect. The restaurant is large and spread over two floors. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would gladly come back.

The food was very good. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was rustic and worth a visit.

Very tasty food, I can only recommend it.

2/1. Delicious. Fast. Hospitable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply fantastic! The food at the Leiterwagen is a delight – fresh, lovingly prepared, and simply delicious. The owners and the entire team are incredibly warm and attentive; you immediately feel welcome and in good hands. A place to relax, enjoy, and return – absolutely recommended!

This restaurant is highly recommended. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Excellent value for money!

Very, very friendly, attentive staff! Great atmosphere and delicious food ❤️

We enjoyed the evening at the Leiterwagen restaurant – attentive and friendly service, excellent food. We'll be back.

Unfortunately, we can't comment on the quality of the food or the ambiance, as we—two sisters with our elderly mother in a wheelchair—were ejected from the restaurant in an extremely arrogant and rude manner by a male server. The reason for this was the fact that we were carrying a closed (!) dog cart with three tiny furry friends. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or on the terrace due to reportedly reported biting incidents. That may be true, and it's not really surprising given the way guests are treated, but treating guests like lepers is going too far! Whether with or without a dog... you won't see me there again, because I hate being treated like I have the plague!

Highly recommended. Cozy, good service and food.

I recently visited Leiterwagen with a few friends. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our tables. The drinks didn't take long to arrive, and our food orders were taken care of. A few people even made great recommendations that perfectly complemented the dishes. We started with the famous cheese salad – you can't miss it. All in all, we had a wonderful evening and would love to visit the place again!

A very nice restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere. The service was very good and the food was first-class, truly delicious. The 2 for 1 offer (if you choose the same meal) makes the whole thing even more attractive. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend it 👍

We had a lovely dinner! The food was delicious, with a wide selection. The service was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back soon!

Elegant ambiance. The staff and food are excellent. So go there and try it. The prices are reasonable.

A great restaurant. I've been there several times, and the food is delicious and the service is excellent. The whole atmosphere is very nice👍

Unfortunately, I experienced severe symptoms of food poisoning after the sea bream fillet dish (Mediterranean Weeks menu). I felt so sick that I had to report sick and stay in bed the entire next day! I suspect the herb pesto was the cause. I informed the management, but there was no response or words of apology.

Very good German cuisine, service is super funny - with its own charm 😉 Great location in the middle of Bernau by the old city wall.

A great restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Please keep up the good work. There aren't many of you left.

The food was delicious and well presented. The staff was very friendly and nimble. I'd be happy to come back.

Yes, especially the very friendly staff👍

I was here for the first time today and was thoroughly impressed. The restaurant is beautiful from the outside, and the interior, with all the wood and beams, is very cozy. The food was a feast for the palate, and the dessert, "warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream," was a dream. The service was very attentive and friendly.

I was out with my wife and ended up here for dinner. Very tasty 😋 and good service 👍

Absolutely recommendable 😋 (especially the delicious cheese salad)

Today we waited 50 minutes for our food. Guests who arrived after us received their food, and when we asked about our order, the waitress said they had ordered before us, which wasn't true. If an order goes wrong, you should own up to it, but playing me dumb isn't an option.

As with all our visits, yesterday we were completely satisfied again. Friendly staff and delicious food. The outdoor dining area is highly recommended; you can sit in a cozy, natural setting and enjoy your stay. Thank you for the wonderful visit; we'll be happy to come back.

Super great restaurant…discovered it on our way home…top service, young team…good, home-style food…if we lived nearby, we would be a regular guest

A highly recommended restaurant serving predominantly typical German cuisine, but also with a sufficiently large selection of fish and vegetarian dishes. The quality of the food is exceptionally good, and the service is prompt and friendly. Everything is comfortably furnished, although it can be a bit cramped for tall people and, due to the construction, has low ceilings. We would love to come back!

The restaurant has very good food, nice atmosphere and the service was interested in whether everything was fine and very nice.

A cozy, rustic old inn with delicious food and very friendly service. We'll be back again and again, as they also have great specials. Reservations are definitely a good idea. 😊☺️

Great restaurant. I've been here several times, and it's been perfect every time. The service is great and the staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and looks great. All in all, there's nothing to criticize.

Great place. Quiet and charming. Satisfactory menu selection, delicious food, very nice service. I recommend 🍀

Very nice restaurant!! Delicious!

Very tasty 😋 And very good service ❤️ I dropped in spontaneously and was still warmly welcomed. Keep it up ❤️

We stopped by today in the heat, received a wonderful welcome, and felt completely at home. We both chose the cod fillet, which was truly exceptional. Everything was just perfect. Thanks to the entire team. We'd be happy to come back.

The best restaurant in Bernau so far. Super friendly service and the steaks were truly tender. We both had the same dish and paid half price. Great idea. We'd go back. The only downside: the draft beer selection is a bit limited. I'd prefer a local beer instead of Radeberger.

An all-around wonderful experience! The food was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The ambiance perfectly rounded off the visit – highly recommended! We'd be happy to go back 👍🏼

I've always been satisfied. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a great atmosphere.

Definitely recommended. Very friendly and attentive service. Great food. We were there today, table 4, 6:15 PM.

A mixed experience at this restaurant; the food was truly delicious. The outdoor area has a lovely ambiance and appealed to us. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. One hour before closing, we were asked to place our "last order" and the chairs were arranged. It gave the impression that the restaurant was already shutting down. A shame! The food and the ambiance alone almost made up for it. Perhaps the restaurant should adjust its service to better serve guests and not make them feel unwelcome!!!!!! 3 out of 5 🌟

The food was as always delicious and the service was also very friendly, especially with the 2 for 1 it is always worth stopping by 👍🏻

It was a very nice evening with delicious asparagus. Thank you.

We reserved a table because it was a Saturday and the Hussite Festival was taking place in Bernau! The staff were super friendly and always asked if we needed anything. Delicious food and a very pleasant atmosphere. We sat outside and admired all the plants, but the interior is also very charming.

Never had such bad asparagus before, cold inside and not at all soft. The second time it was completely hot, so I burned my mouth completely, and it wasn't any better (softer). The chicken completely collapsed, and the potatoes were completely mushy... (it was only in the oven, after all) - I have to say the first time, the chicken was perfect, well, what a pity.

Delicious schnitzel, cozy atmosphere, and great service. We'd gladly go back :)

Great food. Good value for money.

Unfortunately, the service was very unfriendly...I have no idea what was going on with his nerves. The food was okay, but nothing special. It's a shame, as the atmosphere was very nice.

Fantastic food, a rustic atmosphere, and friendly, fast, and attentive service. The portions are generous (we had to undo our pants buttons afterward). We ordered a main course and two drinks for two people (dessert really, really didn't fit in our stomachs) and paid around €70. We'll definitely be back!

Highly recommended. We had the vegetable schnitzel with potatoes, broccoli, and hollandaise sauce. The sauce isn't heavy on the stomach at all, and it was a really nice and delicious meal.

Good food in a nice atmosphere.

I was there yesterday with my better half around 7:00 p.m. The restaurant was largely fully booked. However, we received a very warm welcome and, despite the many guests, also very relaxed. After maybe 5 minutes, one of the lovely and friendly service staff came up to us and offered us a table that had just become available on the upper floor. Up to that point, we had been quite enthusiastic about the efforts of the staff, and afterwards a gastronomic fireworks display was set off. We have rarely experienced such incredibly good service in combination with very tasty and reasonable prices in a restaurant. There are many good restaurants, but there are ones where you almost feel at home and the staff recognize your thoughts quicker than you do... I could go on and on for hours. Result: Great gastronomic cinema. Respect for this great achievement. Keep it up. We would be happy to come back and recommend

Very tasty, a good recommendation!

Those who use offer 2 for one price get a moderate deal. Otherwise, it's a bit expensive.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Extremely cozy large outdoor area. Attentive staff and even an inexpensive lunch menu. Reservations are recommended, at least for the outdoor area.

We came spontaneously and sat outside first. All the tables inside were reserved, but since we, with our small daughter, were a bit cold, the very attentive service staff seated us directly inside when the first table inside became free. Very attentive. The food was great (asparagus with schnitzel and potatoes). All three ingredients were really tasty and freshly made. Plus attentive service staff. So, everything was great all around and totally recommended!

Nice place, unfortunately too much traffic around the place, which is not great if you sit outside.

Just very tasty food. Had the Black Angus steak, and it was perfect. The two for one deal also makes it affordable. I can only recommend it. I kiss your heart, you akhs

Service very friendly and attentive. Food was again excellent. We were looking forward to the asparagus and were not disappointed!

Table reservation is recommended. The best restaurant in Bernau near Berlin. Tip: two identical main courses reduce the final bill 👌😊

Upscale, watch, but it also costs money. Still recommended

Yes, we received friendly service and the staff were very helpful.

We just wanted something to drink and were allowed to sit down for 30 minutes. We were also denied a choice of table despite there being only a few tables, so even if we feel like eating something, it's a shame that we won't come here again

Everything was great, always happy👍🍻🥂👌Day ticket always 1A

An experience. Gladly again. We felt very comfortable.

I've known the ladder truck for years and there's something about the rustic ambience. Now my husband should also get to know the restaurant and so our trip went to Bernau on Sunday. We hadn't made a reservation and despite a lot of hustle and bustle in the cart and garden, we were kindly assigned a table inside and we were happy to be patient while eating. Thank you very much for that and the food was great!

Yes, anytime. Everything was prepared for my grandchild (2 years). The food was very tasty and I/we felt very comfortable. Thanks for the nice time.

The food was delicious and the service was quick and very friendly, we felt comfortable.

We came to the restaurant today on a recommendation to eat there for my mother's 88th birthday and were very pleased with the friendly, attentive service as well as the very tasty and appetizing dishes and desserts. We are from out of town, but will be happy to come back to you at any opportunity.

We have been to the Ladderwagen Inn several times. We really like the atmosphere. Inside and outside too. The staff is very pleasant, funny, not intrusive. The range of food and drinks is very diverse. Tastes great! Very good value for money. However, bringing dogs is no longer permitted.

Service was very friendly and the food was very tasty. 2 for 1 is mega. Top keep it up

How often have we picked up lunch for the day! Unbeatable! Super tasty and affordable! Can only recommend it to everyone! 3 dishes to choose from, changing weekly! Always fresh and something for every taste! Staff always competent and nice!

Good German home cooking. The 2 for 1 deal for main courses is unbeatable.

We came here for the first time today and were totally thrilled. We were warmly welcomed and given a nice seat in the restaurant, which was furnished with attention to small details. The service was great and the food was unique. We took advantage of the offer for two for the price of one and never expected such large portions. So I also ordered an appetizer. And it was so delicious, at least for us who love garlic ❤️ Our main course was also great. Even the boiled potatoes are a poem. And everything was very tasty. We will definitely come back because if our child is with us, there is also a children's menu. Thank you very much for the lovely stay 😍

Definitely, a great, cozy and nice restaurant with delicious food in a nice atmosphere.

Great in everything, service, food and ambience. We'd love to come back.

Highly recommended! A rustic atmosphere, very attentive service and delicious food.

Super hospitable, great ambience, the food is like your mother's.... With stars..... great and inexpensive.

Delicious food, served hot, nice atmosphere and service that always has a friendly, funny word on her lips, so that you as a guest feel completely at home. A five star rating is well deserved here!

Friendly and authentic team, we all enjoyed the food, 4 different dishes, gladly again! Steak and lamb were medium perfect,

Unfortunately, a spontaneous visit was a flop. We quickly got a table upstairs, but we had hoped for more from the ambience. The service with the usual Berlin snout. If you like it, OK. To make it short. Ordered food. Classic. Pork schnitzel with croquettes, broccoli and a hollandaise sauce. The result: A mediocre schnitzel. Instead, nice and hard fried croquettes and a pile of limp, tasteless broccoli. Even the emulsion paint called Hollandaise sauce could no longer add any flavor. Conclusion: I was ashamed in front of my guests. The Berliner Schnauze asked if everything tasted good.

We were here for the first time today based on a recommendation. Food, ambience and service were excellent!!!!! We'll be back.

This restaurant is clearly recommended... simply great. The food was great, the service was always courteous and polite and the atmosphere was very cozy. We'll definitely be back 👍😎👍

I'm here for rehab, rustic restaurant, good German cuisine and friendly staff. Prices and portions are reasonable, as well as the 2 for 1 offer. Keep it up!

Always great service and care. Nice service. A big family.

We were at the Leiterwagen inn today on the occasion of a birthday and had reserved in advance, which is definitely recommended, at least on Friday/weekend. The atmosphere was very cozy and... The employees were all really friendly and always had a funny saying. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone really enjoyed it. Clear recommendation from us and we would be happy to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening. ❤️

Really delicious food and always nice service 👍🏻 Thank you

Very pleasant stay. Food and service simply great.

Super tasty, good value for money. Service friendly and quick. We'd love to come back.

We have been to the Leiterwagen several times and the restaurant is one of our favorites in the north of Berlin. The reviews speak for themselves and rightly so. The cuisine is very good, the furnishings are comfortable and the service is very attentive. And you can still come with children. We feel very well looked after here.

Very great restaurant. A welcome from friendly staff. A relaxed layout of the tables, not too narrow. You immediately get the feeling of being private 🫶 Simple but perfectly implemented kitchen at a top price 👍👍👍 Did I already mention the service 😁 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I look forward to visiting you again 🫶 Thank you

On the one hand, very friendly service staff and despite the well-filled dining room, they also kept the time very well and in a nice atmosphere. On the other hand, the core of a restaurant is what it is the food. I may be spoiled in Berlin, but I only see 27 euros for three pieces of pork fillet as justified if the food is good. In detail, the meat was dry and the herb crust was just a seasoned breading that was also dry. The croquettes were ok, the broccoli was al dente and still OK. But both screamed for sauce and that was supposed to save the gorgonzola sauce. Only the chef knows why croquettes and herb crust are forced to marry with the Italian flair of Gorgonzola. In my opinion, a dark sauce would be more appropriate and please in sufficient quantities. But the restaurant has one plus point: if two people order the same thing, they are only charged once. From this point of view, you can exchange ideas together about what is on offer and at half the price your frustration with the food fades away. Unless you really want to eat delicious food and don't want to focus on money.

Chic ambience, but what was not pleasant during our visit on February 2nd, 2025 was that requests for a vegetarian dish (no bacon in the fried potatoes, vegetarian) were noted but not implemented. Too bad. I won't go into more detail now. The fish and salad were delicious.

Have eaten there several times. Very nice service, great ambience and delicious food. Can only be recommended!!!

Wir haben hier einen super tollen Abend verbracht, sehr lecker gegessen und der Service war sehr aufmerksam und sympatisch. Danke wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können dieses Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen.

We were there with a group and we all felt completely comfortable. The atmosphere was really great and the service was super friendly and attentive. A completely successful visit! Gladly again! Thanks for that

Great restaurant in an old, restored half-timbered house, great food at moderate prices and great service.

The tables were a bit crowded, otherwise it was very nice

This is a great spot. A bit hidden on the city wall, no through traffic, so you can also sit in the front garden when the weather is nice. Inside there are rustic rooms. We ate a lot, at reasonable prices. The service worked, the staff is very friendly. As a guest in this store you feel that you are welcome. There is a friendly atmosphere surrounding you. Important: book a table.
