La Sepia in Berlin

Was a good seafood, fresh seafood and good service. We have to wait for our dish quite long but it was good, a lot of sauce, not that big potion enough for 2 people.

It was quite late, but the host still served us a delicious dinner! I'd love to come back!

Highly recommended! Very tasty fish, everything fresh, and the service was attentive, friendly, and quick despite being fully booked. It was probably a good idea to make a reservation in advance, though... I'll go back when I'm back in Berlin.

A truly cozy place to eat. Super friendly staff! Carajillo is simply top-notch 🫶🏻

I had seafood paella~ It was my first time eating paella at a Spanish restaurant. The seasoning was perfect, the seafood was rich and flavorful, and there was plenty of fresh seafood. It was absolutely delicious!! The staff were also cheerful and friendly, so I left feeling great!!

I guess I paid 3 euro delivery fee for each oyster I got. Anyway, you can’t get a satisfied Spanish dinner in Germany.

I used to really like this place, but this visit was disappointing and made me feel like I won’t come back again. My friend and I ordered some food and drinks. On the menu, the drink I chose only had one price listed, but when I got the bill, it turned out to be more expensive because the server gave me a larger size — an option that wasn’t even shown on the menu. When I mentioned this to the owner, he refunded the price difference, but his attitude made it feel like the mistake was somehow my fault for not noticing the size. That left me with a pretty bad impression, unfortunately.

Great food and friendly staff 👍👍👍👍

The tuna steak was tasteless, bitter, and most likely spoiled. I don't recommend the food here.

Tasty food, good atmosphere and nice service.

I highly recommend La Sepia. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious, and the value for money was reasonable.

All good, paella could be better and bigger though.

The service started right outside the restaurant! We had a wheelchair user with us and had parking problems… it was incredible how lovingly and kindly we were helped! The food was delicious, and the service here was also beyond 5 stars! We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty, great staff, dedicated chef.

Nice place, a bit different from the usual tapas restaurants in Berlin. We enjoyed it.

Amazing cheese board, and just about every other dish was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. A great option!

I really like the concept. The service is really good, and the food was perfect and delicious. I can only recommend it. My wife and I were very satisfied.

A truly beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is lovely. The service is very friendly and fast. The food is excellent. We had the seafood paella. I highly recommend it.

Great seafood in a fun environment. Ordered the paella. Did not disappoint.

An insider tip near the Gedächtniskirche (Memorial Church)/Kurfürstendamm Very good food at a more than reasonable price Great appetizers and main courses, beautifully presented Whenever I'm back in the capital, a visit there is a must.

Very tasty food, friendly service🙂 I recommend it!

Perfect food, service and atmosphere. A waiter surprised us with a free dessert!

We only had a small snack, which was okay

Very good Spanish 🇪🇸 Restaurant. Quality food like paella and steak! Friendly staff with good service. Recommend

Had the most amazing tapas for lunch. Service was great, food was great. Nice quiet location just away from the hustle and bustle.

Very wide selection on the menu, authentic fish dishes and really nice waiters. Definitely coming here!

Had a wonderful meal with grandma and grandpa, very welcoming and helpful. The food was perfect. The music was a bit loud, but not bothersome. The aquariums and the fish were really cool. So, simply fantastic food.

We had a lovely evening with wine, oysters, fried anchovy paella, and octopus. Everything was delicious, and the service was very attentive and friendly. They have a large selection of fish to enjoy.

I'm impressed! A great place if you like Spanish and Portuguese food, or just want to eat fish. The service was friendly and prompt. I tried octopus for the first time and was very satisfied. I came hungry and left full. Highly recommended. Greetings from Leipzig.

A very hospitable atmosphere and very accommodating. New tables were set up outside in seconds, and we were served immediately. The food was delicious; paella and various tapas are highly recommended. We'll be back. The seafood and fish selection at the counter is clearly visible and diverse. Thank you very much 🌻

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Berlin and went to La Sepia, how lucky we were as we only went there by chance. The food was amazing. I had fish and seafood and it was super yummy. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the prices really reasonable. There was a really nice waiter from my home country, Venezuela. Highly recommended

VAT wasn't included in the menu prices, so the final amount was increased by 19%. Maybe it was listed somewhere on the menu, but not directly next to the prices. The food was average, and the white Rioja gave me a headache.

Fantastic food from Spain and Portugal. The waiters were a bit unatentive .

Yesterday I visited this restaurant for the first time and I was absolutely thrilled. The seafood selection is magnificent, from freshly caught oysters to perfectly grilled fish. Everything was beautifully prepared, very fresh, and tasted of the highest quality. The side dishes were also finely balanced and perfectly rounded off the overall experience. The service was attentive, friendly, and unobtrusive, and the atmosphere was pleasantly maritime without being overly pretentious. An absolute recommendation for all seafood lovers!

Great tapas, good service, cozy restaurant. Highly recommend the lamb sausage and fish croquettes. Love the complimentary bread with garlic butter and a free digestiv is a really nice touch!

A very nice restaurant; if you're seated correctly, you have a view of the fish counter and the show kitchen behind it. The food was very, very tasty. Just don't expect large portions, so you're paying more for taste than quantity.

La Sepia – Great Atmosphere, Unfortunately, Service Fails La Sepia is truly beautifully and comfortably furnished. I was particularly impressed by the sepia-themed wall and a huge screen with fascinating underwater images. The narrow, blue-lit corridor to the restroom, with its atmospheric images, was also an eye-catcher. Unfortunately, the service couldn't keep up. Our server was very cold. No smile, hardly any eye contact. The food was overall rather mediocre in taste, although my Ipanema stood out positively – it was surprisingly refreshing and tasty. A small mishap when paying: card payment wasn't possible at first, supposedly due to internet congestion from the large number of guests. We were offered cash or a wait of about 15 minutes. Since we had time, we waited – and lo and behold, after just five minutes, the waiter returned with the card reader and the payment went through without a hitch. As we left the restaurant, we were warmly bid farewell by the other waiters – friendly, open, with eye contact and a smile. It's a shame that we had no luck with our waiter.

La Sepia undoubtedly serves very fresh seafood. Unfortunately, in my seafood salad, it was so soft that it almost seemed raw – not my taste. However, the particularly large mussels, which looked very appetizing, deserve special mention. The baked squid rings could have been seasoned better in my opinion – without the mayonnaise, they tasted quite bland and boring. We enjoyed the mixed platter with various fish and seafood. The roasted vegetables as a side dish were particularly well seasoned. The best tasting dish was the garlic prawns – aromatic and delicate – but they were unfortunately served cold, which was surprising and a shame. We actually wanted to order sangria, but it wasn't worth almost €20 for a 0.5 liter. The service was disappointing: While most of the waiters seemed friendly and cheerful, we encountered one who was very grumpy and didn't smile once. This unfortunately somewhat dampened the atmosphere.

A place to linger, the food and service are first-class! You truly feel welcome as a guest! An experience for the palate and stomach, gladly again☆☆☆☆☆ ♡

Very friendly staff, delicious food - we ate see food and paella and everything was really good and at a reasonable price. Recommend to visit:)

Here it's all top-notch... Really good food, service, and can be up to scratch, even if it's often disappointing, there's a shortage in central Berlin. But not here... They come here many times, and every meal, and the excellent service has some truly wonderful atmosphere. This restaurant has always been wonderful. Can only recommend it to people with a sense of good food and incredibly good service. Everything here is first-class... Really good food, service, and can sometimes, even if it sounds strange, be in short supply in central Berlin. But not here... I've been coming here for many years, and neither the food nor the excellent service have ever disappointed me. This restaurant has never disappointed me. Highly recommended for people with a taste for good food and great service.

The food is not bad but could be better

Good, tidy cuisine. Fish dishes take center stage.

The food was very good, everything freshly prepared. We received a very warm welcome and were served very well. The service staff was very friendly, and the chef was also very personable.

Excellent food and service. I would return without a second thought. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended if you like Spanish cuisine. We always reserve a table when we're in Berlin. :)

We discovered La Sepia while looking for lunch. It looks rather unassuming from the outside, but it's actually quite large and tastefully decorated. Since we were there at lunchtime, we had a reasonably priced meal from the lunch menu. We enjoyed it very much, and it's very good value for money. There's a wide selection of Spanish and Portuguese dishes. We'll definitely stop by again on our next visit.

Great food and very welcoming staff.

Awful experience. The smell inside was so bad it made me feel nauseous while waiting over 40 minutes for a simple business lunch. Totally unacceptable. Never again.

Good good, nice atmosphere and friendly service. The special prices for lunch were really affordable

Very good tapas, you can see the food in the display...Everything is freshly prepared! The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere, and the service is quick. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious meal and the host was as it should be!

Very nice place, great food, super service! I've been here many times.

Always delicious, very good fish and more than fair prices (half lobster and monkfish 39.90)

Food is great, highly recommend the wings. Service is exceptional, espresso and desert were complimentary or “from the house” as they call it. Beautiful and clean restaurant to dine in.

Unfortunately, I have to make some adjustments. Clearly overrated: Service was okay under the strict regime of the "owner," but this compromised the feel-good factor. The food, here the paella, was somewhat bland in flavor with clear potential for improvement (e.g., the shrimp was borderline overcooked, the rice wasn't crispy). The scampi, the second dish, also had a bland flavor. Piri-piri was the last resort. Otherwise, there are good alternatives on the same street.

Prices and services are well-balanced. Very friendly staff. Very pleasant atmosphere!

Very good fish dishes, attentive service and good value for money.

Fantastically delicious, great value for money for lunch.

The food was absolutely fantastic! Every single dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. The music set the perfect vibe—great selection, and just the right volume. Service was impressively fast, even for the paella. I fully intend to come back soon! .

Very good food, great selection, well-seasoned, very impressive fish counter. Tasteful decor, very friendly staff.

Great restaurant. Fresh fish and excellent cataplana. Reasonable prices. Very friendly and fast service. We would come back anytime. Thank you very much.

food was good, but not good enough given the price and portion size

This restaurant is simply a non-event.

Eating certain Asian dishes can help relieve homesickness, but I find that Spanish food can only be eaten in Spain. It has nothing to do with whether the restaurant is good or bad. It’s just that Spain is so beautiful and makes people nostalgic.

We felt very comfortable in this restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff friendly and attentive. The owner was particularly funny and created a good atmosphere. The food – especially the oysters and mussels – was fantastic: fresh, perfectly prepared, and incredibly delicious. An all-round successful evening. We'd love to come back!

Exorbitant prices, unfocused waiters, very small portions... but very tasty...

We were at the La Sepia restaurant today. The ambiance is truly beautiful and the food is outstanding. The welcome was wonderful, even though we were there with a toddler and a dog. For dinner, we opted for a fish platter with prawns and a children's menu. All the dishes were truly delicious and truly exquisite. I was so impressed by the friendly service and the delicious food that I actually got around to writing a review—something I never usually do.

It's worth eating at this place... good service, tasty food... and the prices are fair.

I had high hope when I visited this restaurant. The menu looked quite appetizing. The reality was a bit disappointing. They served an Aperol spritz with some non-Aperol brand. They did replace the drink with a sangria that was a bit better. The seafood paella was not a paella but more like a soupy rice. Ordered apple strudel for desert. The crust was soggy but the ice cream was good. Overall itv was an OK experience unless you are looking for authenticity.

No one speaks Spanish. The cod croquettes have potatoes, and the anchovies are dry after a while. The portions are very expensive for tapas. I didn't like it.

No, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. The waiters don't understand German, and unfortunately, this isn't communicated, resulting in incorrect orders on several occasions. The mussels in white wine sauce were also poorly prepared. They had a hard texture and the broth was too salty. All in all, we definitely won't be back!

We've been visiting this restaurant every time we're in Berlin for years. It was great again this time. We had the hot/cold tapas plate. And two dishes from the cataplana. Highly recommended.

Had lunch at La Sepia and honestly the food was decent but nothing unforgettable prices were on the higher side for what you get I paid around €25 for a main course and drink the pasta was fresh but lacked seasoning and the salad was just okay the atmosphere felt a bit cold and service was quite slow they seemed understaffed when I visited they’re open daily from 11am to 10pm I’d suggest coming during off-peak hours if you do go helpful for anyone looking for a quick lunch in the area but don’t expect anything special.

great atmosphere! great welcome

Dinner there this evening. Servers AMAZING AND ATTENTIVE. TAPAS 100% Good. Very reasonable pricing. Will go again.

Delicious food and played all of my favourite songs

We had a few tapas and paella, everything was delicious. The patatas bravas had a very nice sauce. We had a dog with us, and they were very understanding about it.

The insider tip between Ku'Damm & KaDeWe in Berlin for fresh and delicious Spanish Portuguese Mediterranean dishes. Thanks to a recommendation from our circle of friends, we went to La Sepia in Berlin-Charlottenburg and were more than thrilled. In addition to the inviting ambience, La Sepia impresses with freshly prepared dishes, whether tapas as a starter or the main course. Even the dessert tastes like it was freshly prepared. Added to this is the surprising price-performance ratio and friendly and courteous service The restaurant was fully booked for good reason Our insider tip

An important and good address for fish lovers. Spanish fish dishes dominate the menu, but meat is also available. The service is very nice and I can only recommend a visit to everyone. The prices are moderate. Everything is just perfect.

Delicious monkfish cataplana - highly recommend

It was my second visit to La Sepia. The atmosphere is pleasantly Mediterranean, the boss is very committed and present - you can tell that he puts his heart into what he does. Overall, we had a nice evening, even if the food didn't really impress us this time. We had paella and the mixed seafood platter. The paella tasted very good, but the mussels were a bit too hard - as with the platter. The lobster seemed overcooked and had a slightly rubbery consistency, while the monkfish was unfortunately barely edible. The service was friendly, but not particularly attentive. For example, cleaning cloths were missing from the lobster that the next table had received - no drama, but it is noticeable. Maybe our expectations were just too high - or it's better not to eat seafood in the interior of the country. La Sepia is certainly not a bad restaurant, but for me personally it's more like 3.5 than 4.7 stars.

A Nice restaurant but with sound one major con being it will take late sometime for your food to arrive

Wir sind mit meiner Cousine Sabine Knoll, Inhaberin des wunderbaren Boutique-Hotels mittendrin in Berlin, mal wieder ins La Sepia gegangen. Obwohl wir vorher schon wussten, dass das Essen dort 1 a ist, wurden wir nochmals aufs Positivste überrascht: Sam und sein Team kümmerten sich professionell und aufmerksam um uns drei: Die Empfehlunge fürs Essen waren rundum perfekt: Tolle Tapas (vor allem die Scampi in Knoblauch-Sauce ein Gedicht) und eine klasse Paella. Wir hatten uns für die Variante Meeresfrüchte entschieden - und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Ein rundum gelungener Abend, tolles Essen, tolles Ambiente. Wir kommen wieder :-)!!

I can't understand the good reviews. We had warmed up tapas, which didn't seem fresh to me. The main course prawns for around €22 were not good either. Didn't convince us. Too bad.

We went there because the reviews looked good. It is not bad but it is not an authentic Spanish restaurant, it feels and is a very touristy spot. The staff was friendly and spoke a lot of languages. We ordered tapas to share and wine and we had a nice time. The music was extremely loud though which made it a bit hard to have a proper conversation and I would suggest changing the playlist as they were playing salsa the entire time which doesn’t really match with Spanish food. The prices are fair and the wine selection is good and a very good price as well.

Very good food, great atmosphere and, above all, super good service, very attentive and, above all, child-friendly!

Muy bonito lugar. Buen servicio. Buena comida y bebidas. Personal amable. También buenas opciones para los niños. Un plus adicional es el número de idiomas que el personal conoce.

Ganz üble Touristenfalle. Essen war wirklich unterirdisch schlecht und das zu nicht ganz kleinen Preisen. Obendrein geht der Besitzer gegen schlechte Google-Bewertungen vor, daher ist er dort richtig gut bewertet. Das stimmt aber in der Realität nicht. Wir können nur jedem abraten hier her zu gehen!! Der Service war okay (aber nicht gut) und wie gesagt, das Essen war das schlechteste was wir (alle vier) in den letzten 10 Jahren hatten.

We had a lovely weekend in Berlin and the whole thing was rounded off with dinner in this wonderful restaurant. Everything was perfect, the food was great, the atmosphere was great and the team including their boss Sam were very nice and accommodating! We will definitely come back! Uwe Harre family

Centrally located in a side street from Tauentzien, small, fine restaurant, food was very tasty, large selection, the wines were also very good, the service was friendly. Will definitely come here again!

Good fresh good . We had calamares , patatas bravas and mixed grill fish . All top . Best food we had this week in Berlijn was yesterday at La Sepia

Alles bestens, freundlich, schmackhaft, sehr zu empfehlen. Fisch kann an Theke ausgewählt werden. Es gibtcdazu Erklärungen und Empfehlungen. Gerne wieder

Not only excellent food, but also extremely friendly, cheerful and absolutely first-class service! I'll be back! ☺️

One of the best fish life in Berlin. Elegant and great dishes and the service is great.

I have an eighteen-year-old enthusiastic son who knows a lot about fish and shellfish, so yesterday we were looking for a restaurant with the intention of eating lobster for the first time. The owner of La Sepia noticed us and also became enthusiastic about my son's passion. He put together a great pan for us with lobster, scampi and fish. Simply awesome...My older one really wants to eat there with the whole family...Great service, fair price, great food. Back soon!

A tapas bar in Berlin where you can taste authentic Spanish 🇪🇸🐙🥔🦪 food 🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾 I ordered bouillabaisse oyster pollo fish dish Pollo and fresh oyster dish with a real Spanish taste, with coarse salt and chewy octopus on top of potatoes! The bouillabaisse was also delicious with a real Spanish taste The price is reasonable and the interior of the restaurant is cute, so it really feels like Spain! I've been to many other tapas restaurants, but I promise to go here from now on!! Card payment is available, and the total came to 80 euros including tip.

Nice, friendly, and efficient staff. The food was delicious. High prices, but very good quality. We'll be back.

Great service, relaxed atmosphere, and delicious food. I'll be back again and again.

Friendly service, live lobster, large, sumptuous mussel shell
