MATANGA - Fusion Tapas & Cocktails in Berlin

Amazing cocktails and food! The matanga mule is my personal favorite.

Amazing tapas. Amazing place. Was a long time a go but can remember it was memorable!

Excellent service and the empanadas are delicious! Congratulations to all the staff..!!! 👌👌😎

The best restaurant in Berlin! Congratulations! !! Everything we tried... we loved it... Super 😍

Very very tasty food and cocktails. The chimichurri and the eggplant were particularly good. The empanadas were also good, but the tapas were clearly the highlight for us. We had a really, really good evening

Very good selection of tapas and cocktails! The empanadas are delicious! I loved it!

Outstanding place for tapas and wonderful cocktails. Top notch spot if you are into great service and food. Best empanadas in berlin/Germany! Highly recommended!! I seriously love their food

Seven of us ate there and tried all the tappas and also some drinks. Everything tasted great. Price performance is definitely right. Started the rest of the evening well-fed.

You don't often meet such nice service staff in Berlin! The food was great, real heaven really. Matanga Mule was definitely the best cocktail, but everything we drank and ate was so delicious! Big recommendation

I am in love with this restaurant! Food, drinks, service – everything at the highest level. I was particularly impressed by the atmosphere of the interior; the little tree house captured my heart. I can recommend the restaurant to everyone!

Because I designed this place, you might think that my opinion is not too objective and I can only agree with you on that. Nevertheless let me present you MATANGA through my eyes. From the very beginning my brother Yann and I had a simple idea in mind: We wanted to create a place where everybody would feel welcome. A location where you'd feel comfortable to go with friends as much as for a first date or when your parents are visiting the city. We love tapas because we think that it's a really contemporary and flexible way of eating out. Indeed, with tapas you can allow yourself to try new things and any extra guest is welcome at any time. To insure that our vision was respected, We make all our products in house, tailored original cocktails, custom built the furnitures and created each artworks hung on the walls specially for the restaurant. Our aim is to make your experience at MATANGA the most pleasant and memorable as possible. It's been almost a year since we first opened MATANGA, reading all your positive comments is showing us that all these efforts, doubts and challenges were worth it and that we are going in the right direction. This is extremely encouraging! :) Thanks for the good vibes Cyril <3

Lovely place, awesome food, excellent service!

First time but no the last for sure. Super tasty tapas & cocktails

Really nice place, delicious empanadas and friendly service! The pisco sour is amazing :)

Very nice little “shop” with good food. We tested the tapas well. All of our orders were very tasty except for one, which was ok. Service was little, but sufficient and therefore completely fine. Unfortunately, our seat in the back “compartment” was not as “comfortable” as the front area, where regular guests were already sitting.

Excellent place to go to eat. We went several times and the food always comes out quickly, very delicious and the service is very good. My favorites are: chimichurri, tortilla, tumaca bread and ham croquettes 🙌🏼

Excellent food, great atmosphere and lovely people

I got a desire for good red wine and small plates and was not disappointed. I had two tapas plates, a cocktail, and a glass of Argentinian wine. Just enough for a single person. The beef was cooked well, the sauce herbaceous and flavorful. The marinated eggplant and mixed vegetables provided a good counterbalance. The service was very good, attentive without being annoying. Ambiance is very nice chill with good Spanish indie pop-rock. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone wanting Spanish tapas. And I’d definitely come back again

The quality of the food can be appreciated in all the tapas and empanadas we tried, it's like eating at home but even better! The cocktails are from another planet, delicious! A place to spend an extraordinary evening, highly recommended.

Really delicious food, the empanadas were perfect. The service was also very friendly.

Everything was amazing, not just the food, but also the cozy spot they have makes the dinner a whole experience! With a friendly stuff that make you feel very comfortable :) The empanadas were delicious, but the chimichurri is the top of all the tapas options I tried... And for drinks we had suuuuper good cocktails, for sure I recommend to go there if you're in Berlin :)

One of my favorite places in Berlin. The perfect combination of a small food menu and good drinks variety. The cocktails are really good and they match perfectly with their Tapas. Then you have also the option of delicious empanadas. The cheesecake is awesome. You can’t go wrong with their options.

Super friendly staff! Very tasty and varied dishes. Both vegan dishes and gluten-free options! I was so happy to have ended up there by chance! I can highly recommend it

The delicious empanadas! And very friendly staff.

Empanadas 10 points. Homemade dough with good filling. The girls who serve are very friendly. We will surely come again :)

Very good service and delicious food 👍

I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. There were not many options on the menu, and it didn't provide good value for the money spent.

I’m impressed by the food and the cocktails, I recommend the tortilla and the basil smash ! It was so delicious, I will definitely come back. Everything was perfect.

Excellent cocktail! A pearl, I recommend

This restaurant completely surprised me! We ordered 4 tapas and 1 empanada and everything was delicious and tasty, I’d highly recommend the lomo saltado and empanadas 🥟 The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, will definitely go back to try more things ✨

Visiting Berlin with 9 friends, we enjoyed its delicious tapas and cocktails. We had a superb evening, very friendly atmosphere thanks to the very welcoming staff and boss. I highly recommend!

What a lovely evening with friends, in a very beautiful place, delicious, varied and very fine tapas, the lovely and very competent staff, highly recommended 👍

Delicious tapas and cocktails and very friendly staff. We'll definitely remember it for our next visit to Berlin. Thank you!

Great discovery, very delicious food, where you can eat Spanish-Argentine tapas (tortilla, croquettes and bravas, with homemade empanadas and chimichurri). The cocktails are delicious and the service was very friendly. The place is nice and cozy and has a small terrace.

Slightly high prices, but quality: delicious tapas and cocktails.

Good drinks, excelent food! Friendly service!

Surprisingly good tapas shop/restaurant, very tasty and good drinks 🍷🍾🍻👌😋

Decent experience but overall a bit disappointing. The food was nothing exceptional, the place was nice, the service was excellent. But the price was really too high for the quantity and the product itself. Vegan and gluten-free options. I wouldn't go back.

Cute casual place with affordable menu. Tried some vegan empanadas with a side of chimichurri sauce which were satisfying and tasty. Service was attentive and friendly. Recommend

Service was very friendly, although slightly overwhelmed as it was very busy. The dishes we ordered came within an hour, which is ok if everyone shares everything anyway. If not, that's stupid. The food was delicious except for the dry sad salad. Unfortunately, this is also the problem with all tapas shops: far too expensive. As a man, you need at least 3 of the small dishes to fill you up, and these cost €10-17 (potatoes are a little cheaper). Everyone can calculate for themselves how much money they have to spend here... Draft beer was tasty, but at €5.50 for 0.5l it was a hefty price.

Small but nice tapas restaurant. I can confirm that you should reserve in advance. There are not many seats and the restaurant is very popular. There are now also German-speaking staff. The map is clear, but absolutely sufficient. The food was very tasty and was served fairly quickly by the very friendly staff. The prices are reasonable. In short - absolute recommendation!

Friendly service, great variety of hot tapas

Definitely try it. yummy yummy yummy

"Well, if you're looking for a place that makes you feel like you've spent half your monthly budget on your meal, then you've found it! The food was okay, but nothing to remember. The pricing could be described as avant-garde - 7 tiny prawns and a solitary slice of baguette for the hefty price of 12 euros. The prawns were so expensive that they probably have their own tax advisor. The ambience could certainly be described as picturesque, if you weren't right would have to sit next to a refrigerator and a floating electrical outlet. It was almost as if the interior designer had said, 'Let's convert the restaurant into an authentic living room.' And the wait staff? Well, she only spoke English, which was fine for us, but I imagine for some guests it might be a real challenge to order at a table without consulting a language app. Overall "It was an experience I don't have to go through again. Two stars because at least I have a funny anecdote to tell my friends about."

Great choice of tapas, vegetarian and vegan, too. I really liked patatas bravas. The service was friendly and helpful. Also, try sangria, the pitcher is great value for money. Cards accepted.

Amazing food and great drinks. The interior is lovely. Great place!

One of my favorite restaurants. Very comfortably furnished and super delicious tapas/empanadas. The staff is very attentive.

A small cozy and intimate place with fantastically delicious food! Really recommendable if you like tapas and good drinks.

The service was very friendly but other than that our experience was rather mediocre. The tapas were too pricey for the size and quality (12eur for 6 pieces of shrimp, 15 for 5 pieces of meat etc). Even if you spend more than 20-25 euros per person, you won’t get full. They still gave us tasty shots at the end which was nice. But overall, I would not recommend it.

Very tasty food flavorful cocktails! Everything we tried was great, very lovely and kind stuff and fair prices. Worth a visit in my opinion

Surprising & accommodating Here you can confidently try new things. The service is very friendly and accommodating. It's fun to try out the different tapas and many are good. The chimichuri with beef is highly recommended!

OK food and good service. Not many options to choose but all of them were OK. Nothing we had was uniquely tasty but all decent. Same goes for the vibes. It felt a little too generic from decoration, to lights, and to the menu. Nice that they are taking online reservations.

Best Pisco Sour I've had outside of South America.

Let me show you a place that finally feels like home in Berlin! As a Spaniard in Berlin, finding a restaurant that feels like 🏡 has been a challenge. And trust me, I’ve struck gold with this one 💎 Matanga offers Spanish and Argentinian fusion tapas and terrific cocktails. We ordered: 🍳🇪🇸 Spanish omelette – a fluffy, flavor-packed delight 🥔🌶️ Patatas Bravas – crispy potatoes with a spicy kick and a side of creamy aioli. 🥩🌿 Ternera Chimichurri 🍲🥕Lomo Saltado – tender beef, and vegetables in a creamy gravy 🦐🍤 Prawns “al Ajillo” – garlic-infused prawns 🥟🇦🇷 Empanadas – flaky, savory pastries with delicious fillings. My favourite was the VOLANTIN with mushroom, eggplant and onion 🧆🍡Croquetas - chicken & vegan options available 🍰🍪Cheesecake - creamy and delicious!

The staff is amazing, so welcoming and friendly, the place is gorgeous and entirely built by the team (they even have a treehouse!!), the food & cocktails delicious, and the vibe really special. It's great to share tapas with friends while sipping on a cocktail! Highly recommended!!

Wir waren durch Zufall dort. Super schönes Ambiente, seeeeehr nette Servicekräfte, coole, leckere Cocktails - mal etwas anderes zum Probieren, sehr gern mal wieder 😊

J’adore aller chez Matanga. La personnalité joyeuse et généreuse de ce lieu m’a conquise. Elle se dévoile à travers chaque expérience immersive du lieu, de la cuisine conviviale et goûteuse jusqu’à la conception sur-mesure des murs et de ce qui les décorent. Le service est à la hauteur de ces qualités; accueillant, souriant et efficace. En amoureux ou en groupe, c’est le lieu idéal pour passer un bon moment et ressortir avec le sourire et le ventre plein (et une légère nouvelle addiction au tapas chimichurri). Merci !

Delicious tapas, friendly service. Try the Piso Sour cocktail!

A lovely place to eat some homemade tapas and drink amazing cocktails with friends or your family. My second home.

War sehr laut, aber das ist in Berlin normal. Essen war fantastisch. Wir hatten drei Tapas und eine Enchilada und alles war unfassbar lecker.

I was very hyped for some latin tapas. Service was very kind and fast. Food was… tiny!! And for the price of 15€ you get 5 small pieces of meat on bread and 5€ for ONE empanada. Seating situation was hard on pure wood and deco seemed like thrown together.

Das Service sehr nett aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht so gut. Ganz kleine Portionen, relativ teuer.

Kleines, gemütliches Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Service. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Sin dudas el mejor lugar te tapas de berlin! Hermoso ambiente, la comida excelente al igual que los cocktails, el servicio muy amable! volveremos ❣️

Lovely place, Happy staff, Had good time with my work team.

10/10 quality over quantity. Portions are small and very well made with fresh ingredients and good technique. I can recommend the pisco sour and chimichurri tapas.

Das Matanga Restaurant überzeugt mit leckeren spanischen Tapas - super lecker und perfekt für Abend mit Freunden. Die humorvolle Einrichtung schafft eine lockere Stimmung. Ein Genuss für Gaumen und Gemüt – ein empfehlenswertes Erlebnis!

The place is great! I love everything on the menu! Palo is our waitress and she is absolutely the best! Super recommended!

Ich war gestern mit Freunden hier und hatte einen echt zauberhaften Abend! Ein wirklich tolles kleines Bar/Restaurant, dass schön eingerichtet ist und einem sofort ein gemütliches Gefühl gibt! Ich war von den Empanadas Ramon, Volantin sehr begeistert. Sehr köstlich. Auch die Chimichurri ein absoluter Traum. Die Cocktails sind sehr lecker, besonders der Pisco Sour und Blossom. Herzlichen Dank an das tolle Servicepersonal. Sie waren super freundlich und haben einem sofort das Gefühl gegeben herzlich willkommen zu sein!

Nice and cosy place with friendly staff, good tapas and great drinks. Would definitely come back

Das Essen ist aussergewöhnlich gut u d die Cocktails sind auch top.

Gute Küche, sehr aufmerksame Bedienung und ein lockeres Ambiente. Dazu leckere Cocktails und erschwingliche Preise.

Atención excelente, personal muy simpático y profesional, servicio muy bueno, poco común en Berlín. La comida es excelente, combinaciones maravillosas y de calidad. El ambiente es relajado y cordial. Súper recomendable!!!!!

Amazing! Me gustan mucho las empanadas.

A great place for a variety of Spanish tapas and drinks. Our family with teens enjoyed the visit.

Absolutely sublime! Had a little wait for a table and it was so worth it. Just being in there was great as there are so many details. The staff were wonderful and so attentive, the artwork (all made by the owner) was fabulous and the food was next level. I’ll be sure to return next time I’m in Berlin!

Schönes, spanisches Restaurant mit kleiner aber feiner Karte! Das Personal spricht kein Deutsch - nur englisch und spanisch! Da es nicht so viele Tische gibt, ist eine Reservierung ratsam. ‐--------------‐‐-‐-------------------------------------------------- Hat Ihnen meine Rezension geholfen?

delicious tapas and margarita! but reservation is available only for 2 hours

All the Cocktails are really recommended. The Empanadas are very tasty. The Tapas are wonderful. The all atmosphere is great.

The best empanadas in Berlin. The cocktails were beautifully served , tasty too.

Great Tapas, good cocktails and extremely friendly service. I'll be coming back for more!

I love this place! :) Thanks for your good vibes!

Had dinner here with some friends I got to know in South America. It was the perfect place for our reunion. The empanadas and tapas are super delicious, my personal favourite is the choclo empanada with aioli. The interior design is absolutely beautiful and cosy. Staff was lovely and attentive. For a Friday evening it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. Muchas gracias!

One of my favorite restaurants in Berlin. Food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing special. Very limited food menu and hard to find something catchy. The taste is nothing better than any other tapas bars. Basil smash was so good. So one star for the cocktail and another for the good and friendly service. For 2 tapas, 3 espanadas and 2 cocktails, we paid 90 bucks. It is not worth it. Don’t be fool, drink your coctail then leave.

Tasty food, awesome drinks, and all over a high quality standard.

Kleine Auswahl an Cocktails und Tapas, aber alles wird mit viel Liebe zubereitet und schmeckt super. Freundliche Bedienung, tolles Klo mit Dschungel-Feeling

Wir waren am 01.10.23 in diesem Restaurant und waren beeindruckt von der kleinen, aber feinen Auswahl der Getränke und Speisen. Definitiv ein guter Tipp für einen besonderen und gemütlichen Abend. Wir empfehlen den Pisco Sour und den Pastel de Choclo sehr.

Heerlijk gegeten. Grotere tapasgerechten dan dat we gewend zijn in Nederland. En die cocktails, super🤤!

I can say it's one of the best places I've been in Berlin, not just once. It's nice to go in and feel the good vibes from the people working there, they laugh, they have fun, they are very polite and make you feel at home. Such a great team :) The food is delicious, when you taste it you know they are using good quality ingredients and stuff. It's worth to try everything they have on the menu. My favourites are empanadas and Chimuchurri. Not to mention they give you some great popcorn with your beer (or whatever you wanna drink). I'll go back for sure 😊

Para los amantes de la comida argentina. Personal super buena onda y con gran variedad de menúes...

Great food, lots of possible combination maybe there should be some fish on the menu. Food from Spain and Argentina, go there and enjoy

MATANGA gets from me personally a solid 5star review! I rarely go to traditional Spanish places, because tapas are very specific. Yet, MATANGA nailed it! Decent Spanish tapas and I mean it!

Lekker eten en heerlijke cocktails. Leuke plek om een avond door te brengen.

Ich kenne und liebe die Matanga Empanadas und die bezaubernden Innhaber vom Wochenmarkt am Kollwitzplatz und wollte unbedingt auch mal das dazugehörige Restaurant ausprobieren! Es hat sich wirklich sehr gelohnt! Alle Gerichte sind unfassbar lecker und von toller Qualität. Die Drinks stehen dem Essen in nichts nach und haben alles perfekt abgerundet.Es war ein toller Abend, den ich jederzeit gerne wiederholen werde!

Lijkt alsof je een hidden gem gevonden hebt als je er bent maar waarschijnlijk redelijk bekend. Zeer snelle en goede service. De suggestie cocktail Tio Coco was zeer goed net als alle tapas maar de Chimichurri stak er nog net extra boven uit.

Wir gehen hier so gerne her. Eine interessante Kombination aus Bar und Restaurant, alles ist hausgemacht, was natürlich einen gewissen Preis hat, den wir aber gerne zahlen. Das Essen & die Getränke sind immer sehr frisch, lecker und sind toll angerichtet. Zudem gibt es auch eine klitzekleine Spielecke für Kinder (das Baumhaus) und außerdem ist man sehr kinderfreundlich, wir wohnen in der Straße und wir werden immer freundlich begrüßt. Auch erwähnt werden sollte das tolle Ambiente. Die Innendekorationen scheinen komplett handgemacht, von einem sehr fähigen Grafikdesigner mit viel Liebe für kleinste Details gemacht worden zu sein. Da hüpft mein Designerherz besonders hoch. Mein Mann hat den Chef mal am Flughafen in Málaga getroffen, dort wurde eine Sangria-Fortbildung gemacht. Hier wird Service gelebt, auch wenn es mal stressiger ist. Zudem wird auf Intoleranzen Rücksicht genommen, was für mich persönlich besonders wichtig ist. Ein toller Ort!

Nice, small choice of food which is good. Good quality. Cocktails are delicious. Location is convenient and you can sit outside.

Great place for drinks & tapas (Latin American style). The service was also good and I loved the decoration. I recommend it :)

The perfect tapas restaurant. Soooo good. Veryy nice staff. Perfect food. Reasonable prices.
