La Sepia in Berlin

Unfortunately, many employees became ill after the company meal

Culinary delights, very cozy and exemplary hosts. Recommended.

Everything was very good, from the food to the service and the very cozy atmosphere. I recommend it.

The environment is comfortable Staff are very friendly But in terms of food, I personally think it’s pretty good.

I was very disappointed with the food and the service. The staff was very friendly, but spoke neither German, Spanish nor Portuguese. Even English was difficult. The food was carelessly prepared and the goods were not fresh.

We always combine our Berlin trip with a visit to the restaurant at La Sepia. We really enjoy being there and always come back.

Decent restaurant with decent food. Nothing mind blowing, nothing really bad either. Just average.

The owner of this restaurant - possibly it was also a head waiter who acted as if he owned the place - is unbeatable in terms of unfriendliness and becomes aggressive towards the guests. The food is also rather middle class. Stay away from this store!

Tapas were nice but the Paella was below average for me. The waiters were really nice and polite but the manager or the owner was a bit tough and gave nervous vibes. The price was a bit much too for the portion. Wouldn’t come again.

Quite inconspicuous from the outside, very nicely traditionally furnished inside. You can even watch it being prepared. The aquarium with the animals is a matter of taste, but is absolutely common. The staff is very quick, friendly and very helpful. The boss sometimes comes to the table and asks whether everyone is feeling well. The food is top notch, it takes about 30 minutes for the paella to be ready, but it's definitely worth it! Price/performance ratio good for the region. We'll definitely be back 😊👍🏻 PS: It's best to make a reservation, demand is high

Delicious just Wow! The service is excellent, so polite and attentive. 1000🌟

Waren heute im La Sepia essen gewesen. Besser vorher reservieren sonst kann es passieren, dass zu gewissen Zeiten nichts mehr frei ist Es lohnt sich!!! Unsere Fisch pfanne war frisch und lecker und Ansprechend zubereitet 😋 Der Service ist aufmerksam und höflich. Der Sangria schlägt beim Preis ordentlich zu buche .5L 19.90€ Spanische Fischpfanne 24.90€ Schönes und sauberes Lokal auch die Toiletten. Die Speisen kann man am Tresen sehen, sowie die Zubereitung der Speisen!! Toll

Great food, cool boss and a nice wine selection. If you like fish and tapas, you will definitely leave here satisfied and happy!! Be sure to reserve, we were lucky to get a spot.

Great Spanish-Portuguese restaurant with a very good menu and a large selection of diverse dishes, and especially fresh fish and seafood. The service is super friendly and attentive, the atmosphere invites you to linger and have a wonderful long evening. There is enough space. We paid about €85 for two people with starters and dessert. The vegetarian and chicken paella tasted great. At around €22 per pan it was also reasonable. Like the potato soup beforehand, the Creme Catalana was also very tasty. All in all, highly recommended and a really great restaurant.

The food is good, in general. But the patatas bravas were too spicy and the portions are fair (the tapas)

Das Restaurant La Sepia ist immer einen Lunchbesuch wert. Ich kenne es seit mehr als 15 Jahren und die Qualität der Mittagsmenüs ist gleichbleibend hoch. Letztens war ich mit Freunden aus Dresden da zum Lunch - das Lachsfilet war hervorragend, der Service zuvorkommend und der Rosé schmackhaft und zum Essen passend.

Super portugiesisches Fischlokal am Kuhdamm in Berlin. Toller Service und die Qualität der Speisen war einwandfrei. Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen und unkomplizierten Abend im La Sepia. Sehr Empfehlenswert!

My friend and I went to this restaurant with a small dog (which was in my friend's arms) and the owner of the place behaved very rudely. He didn't want us to stay in the restaurant because of the dog, and he only kicked us out of the restaurant because the girl next to him told him she didn't like the dog being in the restaurant. He came up to us rudely, took the menu and kicked us out for no reason! This is the most terrible experience.

Friendly service, nice boss! Food was very tasty tapas plate for 2 and paella for 2.

Delicious food and PISSING GOOD SERVICE

Toll, fantastic, amazing. What more can I say. What more can I say? Excellent service. Excellent service. Delicious food. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Friendly workers.

Very welcoming staff and tiniest seafood ♥️ I will definitely recommeded to everyone

Super restaurant for Spanish and Portuguese food. The Aperol Maracuja is a must as an Aperitif. A wide choice of tapas, tasty Paella and fantastically grilled fish and seafood!

Most correct owner, very accommodating and generally a good place. Many thanks to the team!

Pouca qualidade na confeçao dos pratos, quantidade justa, os ingredientes nao correspondiam ao que o empregado nous anunciou

Ich bin etwas überrascht hinsichtlich der vorherigen schlechten Bewertungen. Wir kennen das Restaurant seit vielen Jahren und sind noch nie enttäuscht worden: aufmerksame, freundliche Bedienung Sehr gutes Essen, geschmacklich sehr gut Preislich für die Lage völlig ok Gut zu erreichen mit ÖPNV ...gerne immer wieder... Wir haben allerdings noch nie etwas anderes als "Fisch und Meeresfrüchte " gegessen. In unseren Augen ein Restaurant, das man in der prädestinierten Lage ohne schlechtes Gewissen besuchen kann.

Very atmospheric, very friendly service, lots of fresh fish

Very nice atmosphere, food was more than good

Best of spanish and portuguese cuisine in Berlin! Very good 👍

We were here with friends. Service was okay, but the food was just too bad for the price. Only the tapas were okay. Fish and meat were fried to death. Absolutely not recommended. We were also informed by a gentleman in front of the restaurant that it was a tourist trap and that the owner was taking legal action against bad reviews on Google. That probably speaks for itself!!!

La Sepia Berlin gave us a friendly welcome and we were able to sit at the reserved table with 4 people. Drinks ordered and received, some bread and ajoli cream. Salad for everyone as a starter. Unfortunately, of the 4 tapas ordered as a starter, only 3 arrived and the fourth arrived late when asked. The starters were delicious! Then came the main course. We are at La Sepia in a restaurant that knows how to handle fish. The mixed fish platter: tuna and salmon were very dry and simply fried for too long. Plus a gamba, which was okay, and a sepia, which was also okay. As a side dish, some vegetables and 2 quarters of a potato. The mixed grill platter: the best part of the grill platter (chicken, pork, beef, lamb) was the vegetables! The meat was dry and fried until the end. Unfortunately we haven't had such a bad meal in a long time...what a shame! We chose the restaurant from the restaurant review book to try new places. No request for further drinks, dessert, coffee. All in all, unfortunately not a great new experience.

We've eaten a lot of Spanish and Portuguese food, and it's usually better than this.

Cool place with good food. we come back every two years;) .. the shift manager fights hard to make sure everything works and is ok. I recommend it

Kurzversion: Touristenfalle oder schon vorsätzliche Vorspiegelung falscher Tatsachen? Speisen für Ahnungslose auf Reise zu überhöhten Preisen. Langversion: Als Deutsch sprechender Spanier auf Reisen in Berlin freute ich mich auf spanische Küche. Das „La Sepia“ bewirbt sich medial als spanisch-portugiesisches Fischrestaurant. Zahlreiche Fischgerichte auf der Karte. Das Personal nett, Kommunikation wenig, denn weder Spanisch, noch Englisch und kaum Deutsch. Qualität der Speisen „mittelprächtig“, zwar nicht annähernd spanische Küche, aber mehr oder weniger genießbar. Preise allerdings deutlich überhöht. In Berlin dürfte es gewiss gute spanische Lokale geben. Das „La Sepia“ gehört m.E. nicht dazu.

No son españoles.! Demasiado caro para lo que te ponen. La cazuela de pescado , estaba buena. La ensalada de plástico , sin aliño.

The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive.

When disappointment comes after setting certain expectations... The rather fair deal... The speed was more than short, 50 minutes to serve us the dishes that you can see in the photos, and no, they were not full, there were about 20 people in total, they served 3 tables before ours... Well, the quantities, you judge. Total disappointment, with this Spanish restaurant... in Berlin.

So we didn't like it. The service is terrible. There is no water bowl for your fingers for shrimp and lobster (even if you ask) and the bowls are left in front of you for ages.

Great food, nice staff and nice atmosphere.

A pleasant Spanish restaurant with a solid menu, attentive service and fair prices. Unfortunately, we weren't entirely impressed by the taste of the dishes - it lacked that certain something and the quality of my tuna steak was rather average. However, the complaint was taken seriously in the kitchen. Therefore a better rating.

“Gambas a la plancha” is the best here

Extremely delicious. Great restaurant.

Cheap and not very cheerful. We ordered a number of starters, many of them tasted as though they had been frozen. We both had fish as our main course, it was fine, a bit overcooked but ok. The atmosphere wasn’t great. When we tried to order coffee we were told the machine had been turned off - we weren’t the last there and it wasn’t very late. Poor selection of wine.

We waited too much, 2 hours just for drinks. It wasn't the weekend on Monday...

Very tasty, great ambience and service! Hasta la próxima

Attention to every detail, utmost care, the boss is present in every detail 🤪 I recommend! 🔥

Wir kommen gerne wieder, wir haben sehr gut und reichlich gegessen. Wie immer sehr lecker und frisch. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam.

Very attentive service, kind waiters, well prepared food. We ordered paella and cod, both were impeccable.

Unsägliche Behandlung Personal unfreundlich und unflexibel! Haben das Restaurant für 40 Leute gebucht und waren mehr Personen. Wurden unfreundlich und laut mehr oder weniger rausgeschmissen.

A very warm welcome from the staff and service was the right rhythm. Food was delicious and the tapas portions were very good. Prices very reasonable Beers Water Tapas Dessert Coffee For 3 people 100 euros Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful evening! The food was great and the service was very attentive! Absolute recommendation for a nice but for 2. We would love to come back!

Super nice Spanish / Portuguese restaurant. We had lunch there and we liked it so much that we also had dinner. Everything is fresh and the service is friendly and attentive! Definitely recommended and if we come back to Berlin, we will definitely come back!!

Value for money restaurant. They are trying to meet customer's needs. Food is o.k especially seafood. But meat is not as good as seafood. Please try to avoid busy time between 7 and 8pm considering the lack of waiters for serving.

Very nice restaurant with very good food and friendly staff. We were very satisfied.

Wir haben hier schon mehrfach abends sehr lecker gegessen…feinste mediterrane Spezialitäten…gemischte Tapas und gegrillter Fisch…dazu die sehr nette Atmosphäre und Bedienung. Wir kommen jederzeit gern wieder!

Das Essen und das Ambiente waren hervorragend! Von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert waren alle Speisen super frisch. Dazu hin ist das Restaurant sehr einladend. Der Service war überaus zuvorkommend und freundlich. Definitiv ein Besuch wert. Man sollte definitiv reservieren ! Hier wird man nicht enttäuscht. Wir kommen wieder.

Perfect service, good food. A great Spanish evening.

Lured by the good-sounding menu and the good reviews, we ended up here. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. The food was bland (grilled octopus, boquerones fritos, mereguez, calamari). Sometimes it gave the impression that the food had been reheated. The price-performance ratio was correspondingly inconsistent at €70 for 2 people.

Everything was great, the ambience, the music, the waiters, the food, the boss who also takes care of his clientele and the price was definitely fair and affordable, not like many other restaurants that charge more but the service and food are less good A visit to la Sepia is always worth it and recommended to everyone

The food is expensive but not delicious.

The tapas bar La Sepia gave us a friendly welcome even shortly before the kitchen closed. Despite the late hour, there were delicious tapas that made the short stay absolutely worth it. A pleasant stop before we moved on. Gladly again!

Very friendly and accommodating. The food is very tasty and the menu has a very good selection. I had the octopus and it was very tasty. Sitting outside with the music creates a nice ambience in the middle of the city in the evening.

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit üppig bestückter Fischtheke. Tolle Speisekarte, ich wusste gar nicht, was ich nehmen sollte, so viele Gerichte hatten mich angesprochen. Am Ende wurde es die Zarzuela, die ganz toll war und eine Seafood Paella, die mehr Safran hätte vertragen können, aber auch gut war.

Op zoek naar een leuke eettent in hartje Berlijn kwamen we La Sepia tegen. Zeer gevarieerde kaart met veel vis, schaal en schelpdieren. Hebben uitstekende sardientjes, inktvis, dorade en gamba’s gegeten. Alles super vers. Veel oog voor de details, zoals dat de gevarieerde groente als bijlage perfect beetgaar waren of dat de espresso in hete kopjes werd geserveerd. Al met al een absolute aanrader!

We order seafood and they bring fish, but even so it was very good and the Málaga waiter a 10.

Everything is good he eats good the waiter is unacceptable the whole time he was chewing something in his mouth you strictly forbid the waiter to chew something during working hours

Was here yesterday with my wife and our friend. The service was good, friendly and unobtrusive. The starter platter was good, the fish platter was good, the tuna was too well done for me, but otherwise great. The pasta with scampi and mussels was also good, but I still wasn't entirely convinced.

It was ok in my opinion. Fish soup: fish was fresh, portion was small. Price value is off. Taste wise more tomatoy like an Italian tomato soup. Crab sticks: nice crunch, it’s not crab meat from the claw but more stuffed, mushed meat. I’d order that again Seezunge: price value off. Would skip next time. Sepia: not bad, four pieces but nothing special really also skip Paella: was nice, a bit too heavy on peas for my taste but overall I’d say the best dish we’ve had this evening. But also a 7/10 max. Mussels in white wine sauce: i wished for it to be more creamy or somewhat more special, was too boring for me. The caterpillar fish dish in red soupy white wine tomato base had only small amounts of fish. Steak: Not sure why it’s on the menu, you could make better steak at home. Overall portions are not as big and for price value I’d expect more. Taste wise it’s ok but not wow. Not something I’d come back for or would crave.

Delicious sangria. Friendly service

Unfortunately, the tapas were pretty bland and mediocre at best. The beer was at room temperature. Ambiance outside is well... The persona, on the other hand, was very nice and quick!

Very good experience with the entire work team, after a few months in Germany it was a good gastronomic experience being Germany And the waiter's treatment was actually very good.

Tapas were delicious especially the pimientos, merguez and patatas bravas. Also had mussels which were superb. Restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. A lovely spot for a relaxing lunch. 5 stars.

Delicious food, a bit over priced though.

Very nice food. Exeptional service...but the atmosphere of the restaurant could be improved...I would visit this restaurant again.

Not well fried through the tapas

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this Spanish restaurant and I have to say it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food is simply outstanding - every dish we tried was a real feast for the senses. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced, and the presentation was also a feast for the eyes. The staff was just amazing! From the greeting to the farewell, we were treated with kindness and professionalism. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff's recommendations were always on point. It was obvious that they love their work and take pride in providing their guests with a great experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit!

La Sepia is a great Portuguese restaurant with authentic ambience and cool staff! All fish lovers are in the right place here and can enjoy delicious food! I really enjoyed it and we'll be back. Thumbs up and 5*!

Absolutely delicious food in a wonderful place that is La Sepia. I loved the place and the drinks were great there. And everything is clean and beautiful.

We went in with suitcases and the waiter was really helpful with our luggage, watched over them while we ate. I personally joined everyone a little bit later and still got amazing service. The young waiter was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be working there and chatting with us. He made us all happuer with his good spirits. The food was excellent. Some from our group said they had the best salad they had eaten during our stay in Berlin (they ate lots of salads during the week) and I enjoyed the rice. Simple foods that tasted amazing and the portions were big. The bathrooms were clean, and overall look of the restaurant was comfy and warm. It made us forget we're in busy street of Berlin. I loved the aquarium in the back of the restaurant. (Especially the fact it looked well kept). I would recommend this place for anyone who's after good food and a chance to relax a bit in the middle of the shopping.

Was just perfect. Good food, friendly service. Felt like I was on vacation in Spain. Gladly again.

Had dinner here yesterday and watched the NL-Turkey match. Food delicious, staff super friendly. Really too

The service is ok, they try. Red wine from the bottle too warm. Cold tapas - there wasn't even any ham next to the Spanish one. Manchego very tasty. Olive oil, served only on request - tasteless - rapeseed oil or, at best, pomace oil. Swordfish - not fresh, so to confuse it, it was fried to a crisp. Frozen vegetables. I don't recommend it, for your own good.

Wir empfehlen dieses Restaurant, weil die Speisekarte sehr abwechslungsreich ist. Die Mittagskarte beinhaltet preisgünstige und dennoch sehr leckere Gerichte. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Nice decor and friendly staff. We came to eat in the afternoon and it was relatively empty. The food came on time. Children's chair etc. also available. WC also convinced me.

Very fresh Mediterranean cuisine. Friendly service.

A great Spanish seafood restaurant! Delicious dishes! Great ambience. But quite strongly (salty) seasoned. Service OK, strangely with English to help… but OK.

Absolutely fabulous meal, the owners eye for detail and picking up on the customers needs and requirements where second to none. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Berlin. I will be returning on my next visit.

Great sea food. Grilled Raiserclumbs with garlic are the best.

A very authentic Spanish restaurant. Enthusiasm throughout, very good quality from the food from starter to dessert. Didn't have to wait forever either. Thoroughly recommended.

Great food, fully flexible, great service ❤️ and perfect recommendations.

Very friendly, attentive, tidy. Great paella, tapas. Top!

Nice restaurant, delicious food and friendly waiter😊

The restaurant has changed ownership, probably several times in the last few years. When we first had dinners here, it was more like a Spanish and Portuguese restaurant. The menu was more authentic. Now the restaurant sees itself more located in the Mediterranean cuisine, which of course stretches from Spain to the Lebanon. The menu, though, from the cover photograph with the Portuguese azulejos to the contents, wants to be Spanish and Portuguese. Given that many of the components of the dishes can be obtained thanks to Spanish vegetable exports (fresh) and extensive deep frozen products, you would think that cooking these ingredients to a Spanish and Portuguese standard shouldn't be all that hard. Well, we were disappointed by the lack of refinement in the starters and the main courses. The boquerones fritos weren't crisp, the pulpo à la Gallega was ok, the grilled chorizo was ok, but all three starters were on the meagre side in terms of portions. If a restaurant wants to be like the authentic ones, then the portions sizes should be the same too. For the main course we ordered a paella mixta and the rape en la Cataplana. While they both tasted OK, in its consistency, the paella was more like a risotto, and the cataplana lacked vegetables and creaminess. For people, who haven't been to either Portugal or Spain, this restaurant could be an introduction, but for connoisseurs, it falls short and disappoints to the extent, that one is not encouraged to return. A pity. A further, not unimportant detail is the rather short list of wines. There is no reason not to have a broad range of both Portuguese or Spanish wines on offer, since these are also readily available in Germany. The vinho verde that we had was very good, but, again, for connoisseurs, there is a large range of wines available from the Iberian peninsula that aren't expensive, especially given the apparent ambition that the restaurant seems to have.

Great restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine. You can sit outside. Near zoolog.Garten subway Berlin

We visited this restaurant on two occasions, the staff is very attentive and friendly. The food is very delicious, the waiters are rich but they are not originally prepared as its title on the Menu (Shrimp with garlic), but the rest of the dishes are wow a delight, The Galician-style octopus, the mixed shells , the Sepia 100% recommended.

I was greeted very friendly and the service was pleasantly professional. The food was authentic and very tasty! Clear recommendation for good Spanish/Portuguese cuisine and a good wine in a pleasant atmosphere!

We spent a very nice evening here with good food, wine and beer, the service was good, unfortunately we couldn't pay with a card because the WiFi wasn't stable, but there is an ATM opposite so it wasn't a problem

What a shame about paella, you have not been to Spain in your life, you scoundrels. tourist trap

Pleasant atmosphere: Spanish decor, Latin music, delicious Spanish food. You can find fresh fish and seafood dishes on the menu. Exceptional service. Very nice and attentive to your needs. Don't wait long for food. I recommend! A good choice for dinner.

Nice and cozy place with really good food and top service.
