Krokodil in Berlin

We were very satisfied and would gladly come again.

A truly fantastic location that leaves nothing to be desired. The menu is small, but the food is delicious and affordable. In summer, you can also enjoy swimming in the river... So it's perfect for day trips 😃

Very tasty food and friendly service!

A really lovely restaurant. The food was excellent! The staff were all very attentive and friendly – ​​I highly recommend it. It's really cozy 🤗

Always trying, but unfortunately the crocodile is currently searching for its own path. It can be rediscovered again sometime. Sune

We were here for our Christmas party. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. A huge compliment to the kitchen and the service staff! Everyone went home full, happy, and satisfied. The value for money was excellent, and we would love to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Nice and cousy place near the lovely river. Enjoy food and vibes here all the time with my family. I was happy here many many times.

We celebrated a milestone birthday there in November. The buffet was excellent, the organization was superb despite staffing shortages, and we felt very comfortable! The location is fantastic, and it's a great place to stay. We'll definitely be back!

Great team......top-notch food and drinks 👍🏻 would come again anytime.

The food was a disappointment. All the dishes were very strangely combined and presented. What were these things doing together on one plate? When over half the group returns their plates almost full after an hour, it's a disgrace for a restaurant, not a sign of a successful, fair exchange between owner and guests. The "Spanish appetizer platter" had no Spanish appetizers on it. Instead, it was 80% arugula with bits of cheese and sausage. The space was bare and undecorated. The restaurant is large, but there's only one restroom, which is difficult to access. The service was unpleasantly loud and pushy. Why do they offer so few non-alcoholic drinks?

Regular kitchen, nothing special.

Thursday evening dead quiet? (That should be your first warning.) A bit hidden away, but a really nice location, so we were very surprised by the lack of customers. However, we soon realized why. The service was okay at first, despite the constant absence of smokers, but there was a high noise level from the staff plus loud shouting from the kitchen (?!). The menu sounded extravagant, but the food was just run-of-the-mill. We were called to the bar to pay instead of being properly served at our table. I would come back for half the prices, but anyone offering a menu like a master chef, at prices comparable to fine dining, should actually serve those prices. Or stick to fries and schnitzel.

A consistently lovely location! Superb food prepared and served by friendly people.

On Sunday, we enjoyed a wonderful brunch with the whole family. The selection of dishes was very diverse and absolutely delicious. Even the vegan member of the family was thrilled – and that's saying something! 😉 The service was first-class. This was evident not only in the exceptional friendliness but also in the staff's constant presence to fulfill our requests. Thank you! 🤩 We'll definitely be back. For those traveling from afar, the apartments in the building are highly recommended. They are very spacious and equipped with everything you need. The view is simply fantastic. A small tip: Please be sure to park properly, otherwise your visit will quickly become expensive. 😞

One of the most romantic places to get married in Berlin. We were thrilled with the friendly advice and professional execution. And, something rare these days: the very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day.

This establishment combines excellent service with an inviting atmosphere and a diverse menu. Krokodil offers both classic and modern dishes, all prepared with attention to detail. The overall experience is one of sophistication and comfort, making it a standout among local dining options.

I celebrated at the Krokodil with family and friends. It was a dreamy evening, a fantastic location, and the food and service were top-notch. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the entire team! From the organization to the table decorations, the delicious food, and the service, everything was simply wonderful!

For decades, this has been the perfect place to enjoy the sunset over Köpenick's old town. Whether in the cozy, bright main room or, in good weather, on the terrace directly on the Dahme River, relaxation comes naturally. The adjoining outdoor pool is, of course, unbeatable.

A truly fantastic location. Friendly service and staff. The room was absolutely perfect. Breakfast was excellent. The food was great. I'd happily return.

A very nice restaurant, the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, the two dishes we tried weren't to our liking. The fish was dry and overcooked, and there was very little of it. The spaetzle weren't freshly made, their texture was really unappealing, and didn't pair well with the liver and chanterelle mushrooms. This surprised me, because the selection is small and creative, and I was expecting high quality. Perhaps we were just unlucky, though. The drinks menu is standard. A slightly larger selection of Bionade was nice, but otherwise, the non-alcoholic drinks lacked variety.

Highly recommended. Super friendly staff and delicious food.

Very good, plentiful food, friendly service, although we had to get used to being on first name terms right away.

Great brunch with a beautiful view of the water. We'll definitely be back 😊

What can I say? The stars speak for themselves. Great service, delicious food (including vegan alternatives), and the menu is generally such that there's something for everyone. Yes, the food is a bit more expensive, but a) you don't eat out every day, and b) good service deserves to be rewarded. The ambiance is also very nice (you can watch the sunset). So, in conclusion: we'd be happy to come back. The only thing is that the parking is a bit harder to find. But then you'll just have to walk a bit :)

They have everything...good food. Wonderful view. Very friendly service. (Just no 🐊 😀)

A very nice location right on the water. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially outside. The food is solid. The service is good, although it naturally depends on the server serving you. Overall, the staff is very friendly.

A beautiful place to relax. Sitting on the terrace in nice weather feels like a vacation! The interior is also very nicely designed. You don't have to fly far. Everything's right on your doorstep.

Sehr schönes Lokal mit „eigenem Strand“. Das Essen ist super lecker und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Hier gehen wir bestimmt wieder hin.

Well, I am personally very disappointed with the food I ordered. A meal consisting of beef steak, a small dollop of herb butter, half a plate full of potato wedges without any dip or anything else, and a small side salad. The steak was ordered medium but was so tough that I didn't eat it all. After the experience, I found the price of around €26 to be very expensive just for the food. The service was rather poor; we waited what felt like half an hour for our drinks. Ordering the food only took 30-40 minutes because we had to ask a server ourselves if we could place an order with her. The staff were rather unfriendly. All in all, the ambience was great, right by the water. You got the impression that families with children were more welcome here. I can't recommend it in general.

Yes, it is very beautiful here.

Good and close to the water. Attentive service.

We had to sit outside on hard chairs. The portions were too small for the price. The liver and pasta didn't go together, and the potato salad was tiny.

Pleasant restaurant by the water with the sandy beach nearby, ideal for families with children. Good value for money.

Today was the first time I ate at Krokodil with my wife. The name says it all. I recommend all my friends to eat there. My review speaks for itself: the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the price is absolutely justified. The chef knows his craft, that's a fact. And the restaurant's history is undeniable. You've won us over as regular customers, and I'm happy to drive 150km for it. You're great. Keep it up 💪💪

Very nice restaurant with access to a small sandy beach directly on the Spree

Super nettes Personal, traumhafte Lokation direkte am Strand

The restaurant is very nice, especially the terrace. The interior is very nice, but everything is quite cramped, and there's no screen for parties. The floor is beautifully made, but there are some cracks where you'll fall over them several times. The floor is also very slippery. Not suitable for nice shoes. The staff is excellent and very friendly.

I was at the Krokodil as a photographer for a wedding, and I really enjoyed it. The ambiance, with a beach and a view of the Dahme River, the service was incredibly friendly and professional, the food was delicious and served on time—a truly fantastic location.

Not very cheap but great ambience

We were there on Sunday around 1:30 p.m. – unfortunately, there was no food as it was still brunch time – too bad we didn't know that... We didn't find any information about it on the website either. Just a drink and left!

The restaurant is beautifully located right on the water – with a small swimming area nearby, which is especially great with children. The staff was very friendly and especially attentive to our 3-year-old daughter – that was really pleasant and welcoming. We were there for brunch: The food on offer was tasty, but the drinks were rarely refilled. Fresh fruit was also almost completely missing – that would have been very welcome in warm weather. The selection was overall okay, but not particularly extensive. Unfortunately, for just under €25 per person, it's not entirely justified. The value for money here should really be reconsidered – €20 would be a better fit for the location and service. Another negative point: There is no parking at the restaurant. Finding a spot can quickly become stressful – especially with small children. Overall, a lovely place with attentive service and a great location, but due to the high prices and difficult parking situation, it will probably be a one-time visit for us. A real shame, because there's definitely potential there.

Very nice and quiet ambiance. Food was excellent, the rump steak cooked to perfection, and the best beer, "Kilkenny."

I was here five years ago and I'm very satisfied. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. The view and atmosphere were simply fantastic. It's a shame it rained today, but that's one more reason to make the long journey from Pankow again. From the outside, the Krokodil is very inconspicuous in the middle of a residential area, but the view and atmosphere are impressive.

We've eaten at Krokodil several times. Unfortunately, the food there isn't really recommended: it's simply nothing special, rather substandard, and simply too expensive. But you can enjoy the wonderful ambiance by the water with a drink. The food definitely needs some work—I really can't understand all the good reviews.

We celebrated our wedding in the Krokodil ballroom, including an outdoor ceremony on the beach at the riverside pool. Everything was perfect: the ambiance, the location, the service, the food, the drinks, and even before the big day, we always felt well looked after and advised. They make every wish come true. We'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to the entire team! We can 100% recommend it. We would celebrate there again!

One of the most wonderful places to spend the evening in Berlin, with warm, dedicated staff and delicious food. Definitely go swimming there!

Great wedding venue, good ambience, top location and very friendly staff.

Beautiful ambiance. We weren't impressed with the taste, especially not for the price. However, it's great if you just want a drink.

Simply one of the most beautiful spots in Köpenick! A must-see and enjoy.

The place is a gem in the metropolis of Berlin. It was a perfect day for us and our guests. The ambiance and the service that carried us through the evening were simply excellent. Thanks to the team and their manager, who kept her eyes on everything!

Authentic place with super friendly staff. Great location on the water.

The interior was a bit crowded with chairs which was too crowded for me, but the food was very tasty

The restaurant is idyllically located on the Dahme River, a dream, especially at sunset. The food is good, but not exactly cheap. The service was friendly, but not particularly attentive.

Our wedding celebration on June 14th in the ballroom of the Krokodil Restaurant was simply unforgettably beautiful. Even the preliminary arrangements went absolutely smoothly. Our many questions and requests were always answered quickly, friendly, and competently – we felt well looked after and in good hands from the very beginning. On the day itself, everything was very well organized. The service staff was consistently friendly, attentive, and always on hand. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the buffet – the selection was extensive and the food was of the highest quality. A special highlight was the beautiful terrace with its magnificent water view, which was particularly well received by our guests. There, we were able to chat in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the ambiance. The photos we were able to take on the jetty right by the water turned out fantastic and will remind us of this special day for a long time to come. In summary, we are very happy and can wholeheartedly recommend the Krokodil Restaurant. A big thank you to the entire team – you made our wedding day a wonderful experience!

I highly recommend this place. Very attentive service, relaxed atmosphere, and good food!

Our Rose Wedding Anniversary celebration in June 2025 was fantastic! Exactly what we had hoped for: the kids played on the beach and went swimming, while the parents could celebrate and chat. It's the perfect place for celebrations like this! It was also superbly organized and the service and bar staff were incredibly friendly! Thank you so much!

A wonderful spot in Köpenick. It's a great place to unwind and, if you want, take a dip before dinner. Parking is a bit limited.

Great atmosphere by the water with a small beach, delicious, home-cooked food.

Our wedding celebration on May 10, 2025, at Restaurant Krokodil was simply perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way! Even the pre-arrangements went smoothly: Despite our numerous emails, all our questions were always answered quickly and comprehensively. We felt very well looked after from the very beginning. On the evening itself, the entire team did an outstanding job. The waitresses were attentive and friendly throughout the evening and night, ensuring that our guests lacked nothing. The buffet was simply fantastic! The selection was huge, and every single dish was incredibly delicious. Our guests were also completely thrilled with the quality and variety of the food. The location itself was perfect for our celebration. The atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for. We are extremely satisfied with everything and can wholeheartedly recommend Restaurant Krokodil. We are sure that we will host our next big celebration there as well! Many thanks to the entire team at Restaurant Krokodil for this unforgettable day!

Very good food. Excellent service. We'll be back soon.

Everything was great! Great food, very friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere.

It's always fun to spend a few hours here, especially in the warmer months! Delicious food and a beach feeling when you want it... simply 😊

Average food, good service and excellent ambience

Extremely cozy, highly recommended. Fast and very friendly service.

Wonderful place!!! Great Service

The price and quality of the food are justified (5☆☆☆☆☆). A compliment to the kitchen. Pure enjoyment. Anyone who loves food should go here. We were greeted warmly and escorted to our table, and the service staff who interacted with us were polite. The gentleman always has a friendly demeanor, and we left the restaurant with a smile. Value for money 5☆ Service 5☆ Food quality 5☆ Cleanliness 5☆ Atmosphere 5☆ Waiting time 5☆ Accessible restroom: no Parking 1☆ EC card accepted. The waiter deserves special praise; he was so accommodating, with dark hair and a black shirt. He made us laugh every time and gave our dog 🐕 a water bowl. He made a very good impression.

Fast staff who always take care of you. We were there for a birthday party and felt very well looked after.

Great location, great service. A small Oasis.

Quaint restaurant on the banks of the Dahme Even if you sit inside you have the best view of the sunset through the panoramic windows Food was very good. Service was very nice Always my pleasure

Fantastic value for money, absolutely delicious food, great service. We would love to come back! Thank you for the lovely day!

There's hardly a nicer place to sit when the sun goes down, the light glitters on the water, classy Elbling from the Moselle...

Great restaurant located directly on the Dahme. Our visit said that the stay felt like a vacation The menu is diverse. Vegetarians will also find what they are looking for. We were there with nine people to celebrate a birthday. However, the staff doesn't know Espresso Martini. I asked nicely if they could mix one for me, even though it wasn't listed on the menu. They then said they had a martini and espresso there. When I explained that vodka goes into a classic espresso martini, I was told that of course you could do that too. The result was very cute... we got an espresso in an espresso cup with a shot of vodka ;). It still tasted good, but of course it wasn't the drink I wanted :) We'll definitely be happy to come back in the summer. Last year we also sat comfortably on the terrace during the sunset.

It's actually always closed company when we tried to stop there. I don't understand the concept of this restaurant. If spontaneous guest operations are not desired, then this should be communicated that way. We've probably tried it 10 times now and we'll give it up now. If you don't want to, you already have it, as the saying goes.

Pretty good rustic restaurant with water view. The head are honest stars. It’s good!

Yes, the food is freshly prepared, the service is very friendly and attentive and it is beautifully located by the river/lake.

Easter Brunch 10/10 – An unforgettable experience at Krokodil! The Easter brunch at Krokodil in Köpenick was simply sensational! A high-quality and sumptuous selection of dishes where everyone really gets their money's worth - from finely balanced starters to hearty main courses and delicious desserts, everything was there. The service was absolutely first class: attentive, warm and always there with a smile. You feel welcome from the first moment. The ambience is cozy, stylish and makes you feel good – just the right mix for a relaxed atmosphere. In short: If you're looking for a special brunch, you've come to the right place. We'll definitely be back!

Expensive. Full. Not so comfortable.

We went to Krokodil for brunch today. It was just wonderful. Cozy, friendly service and very tasty food. Everything was super fresh, the buffet was quickly refilled. We'll definitely come back.

Yes, on the weekends you have to register

Super great even if the prices have unfortunately gone up like everywhere else

We have been to the Krokodil many times, including today. We just really like it there. The food tastes great and we always like the ambience by the water in Köpenick.

Really nice place, the quality of the food is really good and the personal is really friendly and provide good service. The only downside is that it's a bit pricy.

Yes, but arriving by car 🚗 is difficult because parking is hard to find.

I didn't eat, I just went to the beach for an ice bath. Since the ambience was good and rustic and the service was super nice, I'll definitely come back again.

We celebrated our wedding in the banquet hall. The ambience is very nice, the tables were set as requested, the service was TOP TOP throughout the evening, and the food was great!

Sunday brunch is recommended! Delicious, partly Mediterranean food. Small, fine, cozy!

Food and service quite okay, price/performance is also just fine. However, we found it quite impossible that if you want to pay, just the amount is said, without an invoice for a short examination, be it on paper or digital ....and no, that wasn't a "misunderstanding" but rather a real experience.

Very nice, quaint restaurant right on the water. We got married here 1.5 years ago and have loved coming here ever since. The service is excellent and the food is always seasonal and fresh.

We celebrated there, it's a nice place and the staff is relaxed and uncomplicated

Unfortunately I was there in the cold season. But that also made me want more (outside area). Everything was perfect, a large group of Korean guests were full, satisfied and happy at the end. The only problem: There are practically no parking spaces anywhere

In September 2024 my husband and I were invited to a wedding here. The location is incredibly beautiful, both outside and inside. One star for that. The staff was also very friendly and quick. A second star for that. However, the buffet was run of the mill, in terms of taste and aesthetics. Price-performance ratio didn't match at all. I know the price the bride and groom paid per person. But the purest catastrophe was this: The wedding started at 5 p.m. and was planned by the organizer until around 2 a.m. The celebration took place indoors and outdoors on the terrace. It was pretty hot that day. At around 10 p.m. we were asked to go inside because of the noise. All doors and windows were closed. Inside, the sauna temperatures were inhumane. Everyone was soaking wet. Even those who just sat. Only those who smoke were allowed out. Inside, no air conditioning, no fan, absolutely nothing. The air was still. I was pregnant, not smoking of course, and about to pass out, went out alone, sat on a bench and got some fresh air. Less than a minute later, an employee runs after me and asks me to go back inside. I'm only allowed to stay outside if I have a smoke. I had to have a really long discussion to stay out. She was less interested in the fact that I was pregnant. And this happened a few more times. Every time I sat down alone outside without making a sound, someone would follow me and the discussion would start all over again. To the owner of the restaurant: Don't host weddings at your restaurant in the summer if you're not prepared to provide humane temperatures indoors by investing in air conditioning and/or fans. You can't lock your guests in in the heat and only let them out briefly when they want a smoke. It was a wedding with about 60 people. The room is not particularly large. The oxygen was gone in no time. Under no circumstances would I advise anyone here to have their summer wedding at this restaurant.

Unfortunately a bit too expensive and no parking spaces

Wonderful location with beautiful terrace which is closed in winter. Had some gut Tee and would like to return for dinner.

Great restaurant. We were there for brunch and will be back. Everything fresh and delicious. Even if the restaurant was a bit full, the dishes were regularly replenished. Perfect for us for brunch 😀

The most beautiful spot in Köpenick. It will probably always remain so. For so many years.

A cozy and tasty Christmas brunch! Four of us were there on Christmas Day and were able to feast on duck breast, red, green and Brussels sprouts, dumplings and gravy (of course there was also a cold buffet). The brunch was also great for vegetarians. Everything is fresh and homemade and always replenished. The only suggestion for improvement: please no packaged jam and butter - that doesn't suit you. The price of €38.50 per person was absolutely justified and we would be happy to come back. 💚-Thank you also for the beautiful ambience and the very friendly and considerate service!

Great location with water views

Very nice staff Small but nice card Very happy again

We were able to celebrate our birthday at the Krokodil on Sunday. From the planning to the great food, we felt our guests were very well looked after. The food tastes very good, the service is great. I would particularly like to emphasize that special requests are dealt with competently and professionally. The crocodile is particularly recommended for people with celiac disease. Thank you very much for that. E.T.

Highly recommended and the atmosphere is also very appealing. Good service, everything is fine. Only the parking situation on site is very limited. Is a small thoroughfare with residents' parking spaces or no-parking zones. Parking nearby is relatively rare and you can easily plan a long walk in the evening.
