Gasthaus Leiterwagen in Bernau bei Berlin

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.

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.

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

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.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. The only drawback was that the waitresses were often not visible. They were very nice for that!

Very good food, friendly and attentive service - worth it

I always go there for Christmas dinner and it is always delicious. Be sure to reserve, very well attended👍

Tasty food and nice service! Thanks

The first address in Bernau, and not just at Christmas. Service, ambience and food are all excellent.

Very nice urban restaurant with super staff and excellent food. Can only be recommended.

We have been in the ladder truck several times now and are always thrilled. The food is consistently very tasty and the price-performance ratio is good. The staff is always attentive without being intrusive and friendliness is always a top priority in the ladder truck. The ambience in this old house is always beautiful. Since we are definitely not alone in our opinion, you should always make a reservation before visiting.

Full marks. Despite the Christmas hustle and bustle, we got two places, the staff were very friendly and nice. The food (goose legs with dumplings) was a real culinary delight. It's worth stopping by here.

Were on December 7th. eat to 4t. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my goose leg. I expected different quality for €31.90. Here only the price gets 5 stars. Unfortunately not recommended.

Yesterday we were in this cute place for the first time with a larger group (we had reserved a long time in advance / Advent season). Everything was great! A super menu, great ambience, very quick and friendly staff. We would also like to come back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In my personal opinion, the price-performance ratio is not right here. I think it's simply too much to pay 25 euros for a pork schnitzel with broccoli. Furthermore, you were checked in relatively uncharacteristically at 9:30 p.m., with the words that you had too much to do the next day. I won't be a repeat offender here

Great delicious food...nice service and everything looks lovely for Christmas...keep it up👍👍👍

Especially if you go in December, the New Year's menus are really delicious, but the prices seem a bit expensive to me. Most main courses are around 20Euro

We went there spontaneously through a recommendation without a reservation, super nice service, not intrusive, the food and everything around it was great, highly recommended...

Friendly service and delicious food, what more could you want

Home cooking in a cozy atmosphere. Clear recommendation.

If you are planning a meal together in a rustic setting, here is my recommendation. Despite the tense situation (many guests), we got a great table. The service was top and the food was in the higher price segment but really tasty.

Great restaurant, friendly staff, pay for food, get two, great idea, would love to come back

First time, and i enjoyed every bite from my duck, service was great as well!

When I go there I really look forward to it. Never be disappointed. Everything fits. I'm already looking forward to my next visit there.

Pleasant and rustic atmosphere. Old half-timbered house in Bernau's old town. The service is top and the food is delicious🤤

Ein guter Ruf hat uns zu einem Besuch im Leiterwagen. Man kann es sich leisten zu deplatziert.Das Angebot nach Karte gut. Aber das brauhaussteak grottig,Bratkartoffeln voll im Fett tiefen.Das Fleisch gefüllt im fettiger Füllung und die Panade cm dick.Der Magen muss was abkönnen.

Like almost every year, I went here to eat St. Martin's goose and everything was great.

Rustic, cozy, delicious food, very friendly, competent and fast staff.

We were accompanied by friendly staff throughout the evening. The dishes looked appetizing and the taste was also convincing. The atmosphere of comfort and tranquility. 😋👍👌

Just a few minutes' walk from Bernau train station, cozy atmosphere over two floors, tasty food with a good price-performance ratio, not too large portions

All the employees are super friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty, the service was outstanding.

Cozy, great food, affordable prices, extremely great team.

A beautiful restaurant, exactly what you would imagine if you want to have a good meal

Highly priced, but highly recommended with the food 2 for one price.

Mega delicious food. Good service.

Down-to-earth, delicious German cuisine. Very pleasant and attentive staff Always my pleasure

Great service and good food, would love to come back

Great, rustic location on the city wall in the heart of Bernau. Nice selection of dishes, beautifully prepared and delicious. 😋

I've been here several times and I always like it. delicious and very friendly

A rustic and cozy restaurant with a great offering "2 for 1". Thanks for the great service. The food was very tasty. Absolutely recommended 👌

Been here again after a long time and nothing has changed from my recession 6 years ago. A great evening with the usual atmosphere and delicious food. --- something was new for me: if two people order the same dish, ONLY ONE DISH WILL BE CHARGED --- The interior design has a good and old ambience, which is bearable on cooler days. In summer, the large, covered outdoor terrace is recommended. The menu is extensive. The food is fresh and tastes delicious. The friendly staff are quick to get down to business. The price structure is slightly higher, but reasonable. There can be problems, but walking a few meters is good too.

Perfect! We were greeted extremely warmly and the food was simply delicious. Highly recommended

It was my first time here in the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great. It is very rustically furnished and the entrance is a little hidden if you don't know the restaurant, but well signposted. Parking was very difficult to get because everything in the small yard was already full and there are special parking spaces for companies and residents. Great offer taken advantage of, if two people order the same meal, you only pay for one meal, a really great idea.

Food great, but we're still practicing hyphenation :)

Unfortunately I didn't get enough. 4 half triplets with lamb not only look lean. This filling side dish won't fill you up. For €30 I expect there to be at least enough potatoes next to the lamb to potentially empty the dip. Tasty, but a false economy.

I always like to come back and enjoy the attention of the staff and the delicious food.

Delicious food. If two people eat the same thing, they only pay for one dish

We were spontaneously in Bernau this lunchtime and just as spontaneously stopped for dinner in the ladder truck. The weather was nice so we sat outside on the terrace. We gratefully accepted the meal (matjes) with drink, the offer to order 2 and only pay for 1 meal. The food, service and weather were fantastic and there is nothing to complain about. We would therefore be happy to come back.

Just let us know when you make your reservation that dogs are forbidden, then you won't be traveling for free.

Great restaurant. Almost everything was right here. A bit meat-heavy and I assume that unfortunately no organic meat is used. Apart from that, the food is super tasty and has great quality. All the employees were super friendly, quick and courteous. The atmosphere outside and in the great building is really nice. Overall: Rarely have we experienced something so good. Absolutely great. We will return there from Berlin.

We went there spontaneously and still got a table. The food was very tasty, the staff was very friendly and attentive. Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff still had time for their guests. We felt very comfortable and will come back. We also really enjoyed the summer campaign. Great idea.

Everything was good, the place, the food and the service. Thank you

Always happy. Delicious food and great staff.

Great service and excellent food! Always a good idea to eat there

I'm thrilled. A beautiful half-timbered house, the people are friendly, the food is good. What more could you want?

We were there on August 17th, 2024 and had reserved. That was good, otherwise we wouldn't have found a place. We were able to sit outside. The ambience outside is ok. It's just a courtyard location that borders on a parking lot entrance. The service was very friendly and quick. The food was really, really good. Just as we imagined. Perfectly fried fried potatoes and fresh, mild herring. The garlic bread with cheese salad was delicious. As is the case everywhere these days, the prices are not cheap, especially for drinks. The quality was convincing.

We were there for the second time on Saturday and were thrilled again. Our anticipation was not disappointed. The food, whether it was a starter, main course or dessert, was incredibly tasty. The service was great, luckily we knew that it was best to make a reservation, but that wasn't a bad thing. We will definitely go there to eat again and we're looking forward to it already on it

Were in the ladder truck yesterday. Food was very good and the service was nice and we can recommend it.

Always delicious here. And a great offer! Thanks for that.

Very friendly employee and always ready to fulfill your wishes. Very clean and lots of details to discover. Price/performance is very balanced.

Good professional recommendation on the offer. Nice atmosphere. Gladly again ...

Very nice restaurant with a beautiful outdoor terrace. Delicious food, super friendly service! Unfortunately we are just passing through, otherwise we would be regular guests 😊

"Although the garden was later completely empty except for one other guest, guests who said they just wanted a drink were turned away. Previously, reservation signs had been put up everywhere. Two more coaches came, haha. Afterwards the waitress also commented on the people. That's not possible, it's completely unprofessional." A guest wrote this in his review. Unfortunately, he or she didn't listen properly, so he or she didn't understand the situation properly. Since I was also a witness to this situation, I can say the following: The guests were not turned away, not even when a lady said "We are no longer in the East"! The waiter simply pointed out that this comparison should be avoided and that the comment was unnecessary. He also explained that a certain system had to be used because in the near future all tables would be needed for the evening business and he had to see which table would still be suitable for being able to have a drink. But the lady chose not to say anything and didn't want to listen. Apparently she was uncomfortable with the situation after she noticed how strange she was behaving and left again with her two companions. A lady at the next table couldn't understand the comment "We're not in the East anymore" and spoke to the waiter about how she found it impossible how the lady behaved. It's nice that other guests notice that there are two sides to the story and that it's all a matter of listening and understanding properly. But the main thing is to write something quickly, regardless. The main thing is that it is incoherent and half-true. All I can say is: Great team, great food, great ambience. Thank you.

We are now regular guests and are always impressed by the entire team and the cuisine. The friendliness of the staff, the cozy atmosphere and the changing season menu make every visit an experience. 5 stars!

From the starter (dates wrapped in bacon) to the main course (steak and saddle of lamb) to the dessert (crème brûlée) absolutely delicious! Plus a great waiter and nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back! 🥰👍

The extremely friendly service made our stay a very pleasant experience. We were also compensated a little for the traffic chaos in the city center in the "ladder wagon". All in all, a highly recommended place to dine.

Update after 1.5 years: S E R V I C E: Some of the male waitresses have a very brash, almost rude tone. It was supposed to be half funny - we weren't sure. Although the garden was later completely empty except for one other guest, guests who said they just wanted a drink were turned away. Previously, reserved signs had been put up everywhere. Two more coaches probably came, haha. Afterwards the waitress also commented on the people. That's not possible, it's completely unprofessional. Price Exorbitantly high. It's only worth it through the promotion "Two people eat the same thing, then only pay for one dish." Anyone who is alone is wrong here. EAT: Nothing special. The container it was in was also covered in spills and caked on. What happened to this restaurant? Still well served with 2 stars - we definitely won't be coming back! ‐‐-------------------------------- Rustic and the food is very tasty. Staff work well together. Recommended!

Very good food and super nice staff. The decor is very cozy and in summer you can also sit outside under large parasols.

Food was very good. It only took a while (about 45 minutes) for it to be served… hence service 4 ⭐️ Great atmosphere, friendly staff…

Yesterday we had lunch in the rustic “Leiterwagen” inn in Bernau. Luckily we had made a reservation by phone a few days in advance and were immediately informed that in summer the service is not indoors, but on the shaded sun terrace. Covered by large parasols, located between old walls and cleverly separated by rustic plants, illuminated especially in the evening - a romantic picture. When we arrived promptly at around 12:15 p.m., most of the tables were already occupied and service was in full swing. "We'll be there for you soon," and we were warmly greeted by an attentive, friendly young man. When we asked for a quiet table, he said he would see what he could do, and just a few minutes later we were given a wonderful table on the edge, facing the building. A wonderfully cozy place with the chirping of sparrows, a friendly table and an attentive waiter - what more could you want? Something delicious to eat, of course. And that's where things really get down to business in the "ladder wagon". A huge thank you to the chef for the perfectly coordinated, harmonious dishes. We had, among other things, the "saddle of lamb with mini potatoes/dip, with a delicious cucumber, tomato and feta cheese salad" in a great dressing from the highly recommended Mediterranean menu as well as the "tavern skewer with vegetables and croquettes". Thanks to the promotion "If two guests order the same main course, only one dish is charged", which is still in effect and has been in effect for many years, an affordable price with extremely high quality. We were able to afford a visually stunning and also very tasty dessert. We decided on two sundaes of peach Melba and two crème brûlée and drank the obligatory "Himmelspforter Raspberry Brause" and a homemade melon-mint lemonade. Completely satisfied, we spent a wonderful birthday dinner in a harmonious environment, with the best food and very attentive service - despite, as I said, the terrace being fully booked, with always a smile on our faces. We can absolutely recommend the “ladder wagon”; It's no longer an insider tip; probably also thanks to the well-coordinated customer-oriented team. We would be happy to come back at any time *****

Discovered by accident!!! Everything is perfect in this restaurant!!! Food, service and ambience get a 10 out of 10.

Long opening hours, cool staff, fast food at good prices. We were very happy with our two children.

Really cozy little restaurant, with a super sweet waitress. Can be highly recommended.

It was super delicious 🤤 What I thought was really great is that if two people order the same meal, you only pay for one meal. So it's awesome. I can only recommend 👍 You have to reserve a table as it is very popular 😀

Tucked away on a side street, in an open yard, so very quiet. You can sit comfortably outside, well protected by parasols, quality of the food is very good, good selection, prices are high, but partly justified 👍🏼 Service very good, very accommodating.

Healthy food can also taste delicious. Top service and wonderful ambience.

Friendly service, good value for money, great taste, compliments to the kitchen, the goulash was awesome, we'll be happy to come back

Very nice restaurant. Great friendly staff.

The inn is highly recommended. However, you should make a reservation. The outdoor area is very popular, but staying indoors is also very pleasant. It is an old building that has been redesigned with a lot of love. If 2 identical meals are ordered, only 1 needs to be paid for. The quality of the food is good and the staff is courteous. A visit is always worth it.

Copious plate, friendly waiter. Wheelchair accessible even the toilets. Reasonable price I recommend

Food really great everything top top top. Service very good 👍 Ambience very friendly and stylish

Very friendly, attentive staff. Great food.

Nice cozy restaurant with friendly staff. However, due to the 2 for 1 offer, the food is too expensive to order individually. The quality is based on what is on offer; anyone who doesn't take advantage of this will pay too much. Drink prices also at the upper level. The ambience takes it out a bit.
