Loretta am Wannsee in Berlin

€19.50 for a Leberkäse burger is simply a joke!

It's great that this place still exists! It is a huge beer garden with a good view of the Wannsee harbor. I thought my potato salad with currywurst was delicious, although quite expensive. But oh well. People are happy to support. Gladly again.

Loretta the restaurant, have been coming here for many years. Now a new operator, new chef... There is still room for improvement in the courts. We had roast pork, unfortunately with only moderately warmed dumplings and white cabbage, which was mixed with rock-hard dried onions. My partner had chicken fingers that were advertised as baked goods and unfortunately tasted completely boring. Ambiance is still great, inside and out, parking is also easy. Actually a gold mine.

Very nice beer garden, unfortunately you can get there by bike. Would have liked to have stayed longer

From now on my first stop when we feel like having a beer garden. Very nice staff, well-kept, clean facilities and a great playground, all with a view of Lake Wannsee, what more could you want?!

The attempt yesterday around 1 p.m. failed. I wanted to eat in the beer garden. There was a couple in front of me in the queue. Behind me is another individual. Two people served in the self-service snack bar. Actually, they didn't. They chatted to the couple in front of me, they chatted among themselves, I and the gentleman behind me gave up, we didn't want to invest that much time. The ambience and garden make a good impression.

Beautiful beer garden with a view of the lake and absolutely unacceptable service behind the counter, unfriendly, aggressive and unable to get a slice of meat loaf warm on your plate. You have to find a worse currywurst in Berlin.

Nice place to watch the Wannsee. Food was very tasty

A nice beer garden with some Bavarian dishes and Paulaner beer. Everything is self-service

Nice place, good beer, fast service... luckily Loretta is back...

Loretta am Wannsee is open again 😃

Great self-service Beergarden. Reopened in June under new ownership. 2 minutes walk from the ferries and the station.

It's a shame, I would have loved to give it five stars because people were really happy about the reopening. The mood went downhill the moment there was no Almdudler at the bar. Well, that's because the supplier doesn't have an Almdudler in its range. So barrel brew… is ok too. But the drinks supplier can't do anything about the fact that the yeast dumplings and vanilla sauce weren't warm, the bread dumplings with sauce were only lukewarm and the mixed salad had lots of rotten leaves and was wilted. The green cucumber and spring onions were dried out and the feta (?) was dry and bland. Even though we were there at a time when there was little traffic, the food was still appetizing and fresh. We won't be making the twenty-minute walk from home here any time soon. The beautiful location alone doesn't always make it work.

Super friendly, attentive service, rustic menu, pretzels warm from the oven, Obazda, dark yeast, wine for the woman, absolutely in keeping with the theme. would love to come back.

We were happy that Loretta was open again, unfortunately a bit disappointing that our bratwursts were lukewarm and all for €5 each! But at least the beer was well chilled.

Nice beer garden with sunset over the Wannsee

A bottle of Spezi, a glass of mineral water and a large pretzel cost €12. I find it a bit too expensive.

The Thuringian bratwurst was at most lukewarm, the glasses were dirty. I feel downright insulted by the restaurateur. Too bad, too bad.

Were there for the first time since the reopening. Beer garden in an idyllic location. Beer and food are reasonably priced. BUT: Glasses dirty/disgusting. And food tasted good, but cold. Somehow an exclusion criterion for next time. Too bad

A nice beer garden. Service only 1 point because it is self-service. Totally fine. Grilled chicken and coleslaw were very tasty and appetizing. Even the beer, as a non-beer drinker, tasted good. We will come back!

I'm so glad that Loretta is open again. We used to go there a lot, then it was closed and now it's been open again for a while with a new operator. It was remodeled a bit and the offerings were changed somewhat. But you can still get everything that goes into a good beer garden. The prices aren't exactly cheap, but you don't do that every day. I'm just happy that the Loretta is back and we'll definitely come back more often.

We were there shortly after it opened. Everything was fine. A lot of effort was put into it and the bouncy castle and singer were well presented. What I miss is the lake view. Of course the trees are now big, important and beautiful. But block the view. You hardly see anything of the lake. I miss that completely. Maybe you can take one away.

We were looking for a location for a larger funeral service and found it in the “Loretta am Wannsee” restaurant. We received very competent advice and the friendly staff took away my fears about the day. Everything was very well prepared and we were served courteously and with great friendliness. The range of food and drinks was perfect. We'd love to come back.

Can still be expanded! But you've run out of time! Respect that you dared to start anew...Will definitely come back Thank you very much

It was cozy, with musical accompaniment (and that on Tuesday)

Very nice place, good food and good Bavarian beer "Paulaner" I recommend!!!

Went to this restaurant again today. You sit there elevated, but on the street, without having that feeling. Street noise tends to be zero. Very nice. The staff are very friendly and you feel very welcome. Unfortunately the currywurst (what kind of bratwurst was that?) didn't taste good at all. She was also drowned in ketchup. The bun didn't taste fresh. Too bad. Why did the Rostbratwurst look like a currywurst without casing? Well, the Paulaner definitely tasted very good.

After we (music group) were asked at the beginning of September whether we would play at the Oktoberfest at the end of September, there was no response from Ms. Anna for many days. That is neither honest nor polite. That will not do.

Due to the fact that my review was reported as "slander" without comment, I would now like to comment in more detail. I've been to Loretta several times, but the last time was about 5 years ago and the last experience led me to my rating. The self-service concept isn't a bad one, but being shouted at at the counter when you have a query is clearly not one of them. The staff or employees should also be recognizable as such. If a checkout is manned by a person wearing a uniform, I go there. How are you supposed to know that the two ladies who are discussing wildly and dressed in “civilian” clothes also want to cash in?! And here too, the sound makes the music ;) This results in one star for the service. The prices for food and drinks have also risen extremely, I would still understand if you were served. And beer needs to be learned too... --> Food 2 stars The ambience results not only from the location of the beer garden, but also from the factors already mentioned. Therefore only 2 stars here.

Very cool location to chill and meet people.👍👍👍

We used to love going there. The new owner probably thinks that the location alone does it! Apart from the completely overpriced prices (e.g. €10 for a bratwurst with a few fries!), the quality of the bratwurst was subpar (worst quality, completely tasteless, could also have been synthetic) Unfortunately a nice beer garden was lost!

Very nice and conveniently located beer garden.

Went to the beer garden a few weeks ago and found it simply cozy with delicious Paulaner beer, Bavarian food, sun and live music. Hats off to Loretta for opening it again so quickly. The Wies'n Hut was demolished and will probably be rebuilt. There will also be a Christmas market... The restaurant has also opened again, but unfortunately we haven't visited it yet. To the people who wrote such bad reviews... not everything works overnight, the innkeepers also have a really hard time finding good staff and paying their bills. To Loretta... you can still optimize everything further.😉

Food was good. Larger groups should definitely register in advance otherwise it will take a little longer. You notice the change in operator.

Extremely long waiting time, order only partially served (forgotten...) and cutlery handed out too late (food cold), friendliness and customer orientation in great need of improvement. For me: Not again & no recommendation

Loretta is worth visiting again. I'll come back more often.

Direct view of the Wannsee. Beer garden beautifully restored.

Quite expensive considering it's self-service. Nice ambience between the trees with a view of Lake Wannsee. Unfortunately difficult to access for strollers/wheelchairs due to the small stones.

Good 👍 that Loretta is open again. The 🍺 garden has a tradition that must be preserved. The prices have perhaps increased a little, but everything can easily be divided into 5 EURO. Not that great in terms of taste or appearance. But I'd love to come back.

Super happy that the Loretta will continue to operate. Such a Berlin institution must not lie idle. However, the new operators still have to learn how to better channel the flow of guests. 20m long queues in the beer garden are a no-go. And that's only because many people who just want drinks wait in line to get food out of ignorance. So there is still room for improvement. Otherwise, it's as nice as usual here and there are also comfortable new benches. Update 09/08/24: Perfect, the makers have now put up a signpost that also shows non-regulars the options 👍We are still very I'd love to be here 🍻

We are very happy that this beer garden is open again. Pleasant to sit. Unfortunately, the music that comes from 2 mini speakers doesn't work at all. Either you do it right or you don't do it. When we come back, we'll sit as far away from the boxes as possible

After the walk at Wannsee, the Loretta is perfect for a bit of relaxation 👍🏼.

Finally the season is back and a great location

Was expecting something different. If it was too big for me personally, it lacked comfort. The coleslaw was delicious, chicken was very tender.

Beer is good, food is fine, view of the Wannsee is only available to a limited extent

Our waitress was so kind and helpful, understanding my elderly relatives couldn't eat much.

After the reopening, a much better menu than before - very nice and service-oriented staff - BUT: What's this annoying live music noise? Nobody really needs that 🙄🙄🙄

Another nice place to spend the evening after work or at the weekend. Romantically located, sitting under old trees.

New management. Enjoying a cool drink under the trees is great. There is also a children's playground. I only gave service 3 stars, self-service. I find the food a bit too expensive As a family you end up with a good amount in the till

I got in line...and looked at the food. It didn't meet my standards. I know really good rolls... miles away here... the previous food reviews also stopped me from having my dinner here. It's a shame... because the location under the trees in the shade by the water is very nice... but a good soul, good food and drinks are also part of it. I only drank 2 Blackberry Cider.. 0.33 for 5€ each is really steep.. and then from dirty glasses.. allows for sadness.. Only the sun gave me a warm ray in my heart.

I have not enjoyed this establishment and fail to understand its appeal. I would not recommend this place to friends.

Loretta is open again - very successful... live music... beautiful view... delicious food, cheerful service, reasonable prices. (How this place can go bankrupt like the previous landlord is a huge mystery to me.)

With the new management, the food has also improved. On a Sunday afternoon with beautiful weather, no waiting times. Super. The music “from the tape” was rather irrelevant. Something more typical would have been more appropriate. Later there was live music, saxophone and keyboard. Quite nice. The new management is a significant improvement on the previous situation.

My husband and I are natives of Berlin and just wanted to test the new Loretta after a long time. Conclusion: Very cozy Beer tastes good Food okay too Will definitely come back

Went to the restaurant today for the reopening. The food was cold and inedible. Meat was dry. Vegetable thalers had a black edge, were dry and tasteless. The bread basket was also forgotten. For the money, the food was a disgrace! Seemed like it had been heated in the microwave. In my opinion, you can't reopen a restaurant by saying "we're still practicing." very disappointing, I've never had such a bad meal in a restaurant. We'll just go to the beer garden

Beer garden sunshine and nice company is all you need

It's great that it's open again. But they are hefty prices 3 dumplings a small pork knuckle with fried sauce 2 cola that came from the barrel that didn't taste good 25,-€ ohhh Was very tasty.

I didn't think that would be possible for this location - but the food was even more bland than its predecessor. The prices have risen again. But at least there is reliably enough soap in the toilets. Overall not good gastronomically. But the view over Wannsee in the evening makes up for a lot.

Very good location for a few beers with friends or family

Expensive and (unlike before) without soul

Super unfriendly food delivery - just because you don't understand something and think about it for a moment doesn't mean you have to be insulted, especially if there is no line in the evening. Apparently it was more important for the crew to talk to each other than to work. Food overall worse than in a canteen. Nice location but you shouldn't skimp on staff and quality.

We came hungry and left disappointed. Dumplings with gravy. The sauce was very over-spiced/salty and the dumplings were also salty and dry. Convenience (or so it seems) is better and tastier in my opinion. There is therefore no relationship between price and performance. The location is good and the toilets were fine, to add something positive.

Everything is as usual, but the gastronomic offering has become even worse and the run-of-the-mill menu is a nightmare. It is exclusively convenience food of the cheapest kind. Actually an absolute disgrace. Unfortunately only 2 draft beers, one light and one wheat. A bit lean. The beer costs 5 euros. The gentleman who tapped today was at least able to tap well. However, the glasses are totally dirty.

We spied this Bavarian restaurant whilst on way to Stern lakes cruise and penciled it in for a visit after our cruise. Large venue and beer garden with view other the lake and under shade of trees, lovely setting. Pretty typical of Bavarian restaurant with sort of a cafeterias self service progression across the service counters and on trays back to your seating. Food selection wasn't huge but okay and portions on the larger side. Food was nice and think value for the price, which was very reasonable. Enjoyable lunch. Worth a visit.

I was there with my 81 year old aunt, she had a rolator with her. Since there was no disabled access anywhere, I (63) had to carry the rolator up the steps. When we reached the top, we discovered that the entire property had been filled with a lot of gravel. So I had to carry the rolator to the table. It was very difficult for me to walk through this gravel, even though I am very fit. For food, it's quite expensive, 1/2 chicken 10€ without everything. Ergo, absolutely unsuitable for people with walking difficulties. Also unsuitable for people with little money. It's a shame, because the location is really nice.

The whole thing is too much of a system restaurant or cafeteria for me. But good, you get what you want and you don't have to wait long for a waiter and what you ordered. You just get your beer and food yourself! Good mood, good evening!

Nice to sit on beer benches. I ate a pork knuckle that was okay

I was just looking at what the new owner's location looks like now, a large, inviting beer garden, self-service, a view of Lake Wansee, 3 minutes to the steamer departure point... well, let's see

Actually great. But lousy saxophone, background music spoils the experience.

The beer garden is great again. The entire staff was very, very nice and helpful, all the food was ready when it opened at 11am, even the super crispy knuckles etc., no waiting times😀 Arriving early ensures one of the sought-after shaded spots in the sweltering heat🤗🤗🤗 in the front area. Paulaner tastes good, as does the non-alcoholic wheat beer. .

The price-performance ratio is good. The classic experience factor. Indispensable as a gastronomic recreational facility for Berlin.

The place is magical - when the weather is good. The catering industry has improved after the new management in 2024. With the tarte flambée, which is freshly prepared, you can pick a chili pepper directly from the tree, and the friendly pizza representative will cut it into slices and distribute it on the tarte flambée. Pleasantly spicy and tasty! The light Munich Hell is also great. The thick layer of pebbles spread over the ground is unpleasant. Walking on it is like a wobbly egg dance.

A very nice beer garden but the food is really not good. Everything from the chicken to fries to the gravy for bread dumplings was extremely salty. The white sausages were also simply not well made. I passed the information on to the service at the food counter, but I was only laughed at and not taken seriously.

We enjoyed it a lot, ate and drank, sat outside... there was also a little music... nice that it's open again ;-))

Very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately everything is self-service in the beer garden. Plenty of seating available.

Shock no more Augustinian Let's see in 2025...I'll definitely be there

Nice excursion restaurant with a large beer garden. This one isn't cheap, but it's very good. Always happy, especially in summer.

Unfortunately a bit too expensive...

Nice place to linger after the steamer trip, bike tour or something like that. Ideal when the sun is shining, the food and prices are ok, but it's still worth it.

So I was on 8/20/24. with Loretta at Wannsee. I am a chef in Hamburg myself and the food was tasteless and an insult to the palate. I would be ashamed as a chef. The chicken was so dry that a towel would have started to cry and then the fries, salty is all well and good but so over-salted, I'm ashamed of you, cooking is not a job but a calling. If you don't feel like doing your job, stay at home.

Super good! This is how you imagine a beer garden. Self-service only, which is totally fine. The price for 1 liter of beer is €9.50, which I think is a great price.

Very nice place to have a drink or dinner. It bothered me that they "recommended" you leave 5/10/20% tip when paying by card. Do they want to establish the American model? The prices are already high and you are the one who picks it up and takes it to the table.

The Loretta has reopened. The same concept as before. When the weather is nice, you can enjoy a cold drink with a view of Lake Wannsee.

Beautiful beer garden sqm Wannsee that's how it has to be

Super nice location, but you shouldn't eat anything here or expect nothing. The fries were completely over salted, the pizza and knuckle were also disappointing. It's better to stick with the drink and eat much better somewhere else for the money.

Relaxed staff..well organized..

The beer garden could also be like that in Munich, tourist mass processing, unfortunately nothing more. The location is nice.

Nice atmosphere, but difficult to access for wheelchairs and walkers. The way to the toilet is quite long.

Still very poorly organized. The beer garden wasn't even half full, but it still took 20 minutes in line to get a beer. Just poorly organized.

Very large, shady beer garden. Self-service at the counter. Paulaner beer. 5 minutes from Wannsee S train station.

The food is expensive, the quality is okay. It's just a place of worship

It is a beer garden that is difficult to access for people with walking difficulties. Anything with coarse gravel, walkers or other aids have no chance. Steep stairs etc.

I visited the Loretta beer garden at Wannsee for the first time and was unfortunately a bit disappointed. There were ants running over the counter, which I found unsavory. I didn't like the Aperol either. The location should be highlighted positively - depending on where you sit, you have a beautiful view of Lake Wannsee. I didn't eat anything there, so I can't rate the food. Overall the visit was okay, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Last year there was still delicious Augustiner on tap, now only Paulaner, I left the glass in disgust after 3 sips. Food like in a cheap cafeteria. Obazda: a ball of cheese slapped onto the plate and a pretzel, not even a side salad or onions, as would actually be normal, and all for 8 euros. I was there last time. After the reopening, the beer garden is apparently only geared towards maximum profit with the lowest possible stake.

The fact that this beer garden has reopened is a blessing. In my opinion, it is even better than ever when it comes to the selection and quality of the food. There are even two types of pizza and tarte flambée. A large playground is available for children. The staff is very friendly, even when it is very busy.

Again, it's nice that it has a new owner and you can meet there and unwind. I can only recommend it

Newly opened. It's nice to sit with a group. Prices are a bit higher for food and drink, but that's not something you do every day. Definitely nice beer garden

I don't really understand what Oktoberfest in Berlin is about in August. Quantity instead of class

Beautiful location. Beer. Bratwurst Chips. Nice. Quite touristy already.

Ambiance is great. Unfortunately the beer was lukewarm and rather stale.
