Meta Restaurant in Berlin

You have to try this schnitzel! Are you a vegetarian? Don't worry, I won't snitch. 😜 Honestly. We were here in 2020 and had something to eat before a concert at the Max Schmeling Hall. Simply delicious. 👍🏻 Over five years later, my wife and I checked to see if this place was still there. And lo and behold, it's still here. My wife is now a vegetarian, and she also had a delicious pumpkin strudel, and I had a fabulous schnitzel. Seriously, I absolutely recommend it.

One of my favorite restaurants :) I've been here several times with my family, and after spending such a lovely afternoon with my dad yesterday, I wanted to write a review! Always! We go home satisfied after a visit to this place. The food is well prepared and tastes fantastic, and the super friendly service makes you feel right at home! Highly recommended😊

Nice restaurant/café at the Max-Schneling-Halle, good selection, delicious food 👍

Best Schnitzel anywhere! Try it with the chanterelles (on the side), the fried potato and cabbage. Excellent.

The best schnitzel in Berlin 😍😍😍

Very good food! The schnitzel with mushrooms was amazing yet still at a reasonable price. The location and ambience are nice. The staff was friendly and the service was good. Highly recommended.

The zander is the best I've ever eaten, and the atmosphere and staff are everything you could wish for.

FastLane for pre-concert food ;) Delicious and uncomplicated, pre-ordered by phone and the food was excellent! Thanks to the friendly team!

Nice German restaurant with very good food and atmosphere

Super delicious coffee, great beans, great service,

Great food, rustic atmosphere, very friendly staff

The schnitzel with asparagus, hollandaise sauce and potatoes is incredibly delicious – simply perfect. The service was very warm and attentive, which is unfortunately becoming increasingly rare in Berlin.

Sunny and quiet location on the edge of Mauerpark. Great food (pikeperch fillet with scjmorgurken !!) adequate prices

Not just a nice pub, but a veritable restaurant with good German cuisine. Excellent schnitzel

I was there for the first time today and it was very nice. The food was great, drinks were great and the service was great too. Special thanks to Chris for the warm hospitality and warmth ❤️

Not breastfeeding friendly and not child friendly!!! Unfortunately, in a really not very friendly and rather derogatory tone, I was told by an employee that I wasn't allowed to breastfeed my 6-month-old child outside because he was unappetizing to other people. I asked her very nicely if I could sit down for a moment, no one was sitting there, I didn't want to get completely naked to breastfeed and my child was crying because she was hungry. I am absolutely outraged by this statement from this employee. In case you don't know, babies are generally fed through breast milk! We often went here for something to eat or drink before or after handball games, but we won't do that in the future. The area definitely has more kid-friendly restaurants and cafes!

Delicious, delicious, delicious and very, very rustic... perfect before the transition to the Max Schmeling Hall

Super friendly service, fast and great service and the food was great! Absolutely recommended!

A great location, especially before attending a concert at the Max Schmeling Hall.

Here you can get delicious schnitzel and the best Königsberge meatballs in the city. It's nice that something like this still exists.

Great food, short waiting time. Very nice, courteous service. Fair prices. It's worth waiting for events in the Max Schmeling Hall. Highly recommended

Here the nicest waiters serve the best schnitzels in town!

Great! Great in the neighborhood! Gladly before a visit to the M.-Schm.-Halle or just a cafe!

The food was very tasty. We now know for the next handball visit: reservations are necessary.

We were there after a concert. It was very crowded. Nevertheless, the service was quick and super nice and even the hint that it would be closing soon was done with a very engaging sense of humor. Really great employees.

A quaint pub with classic fan meals before the game. Super nice service!!!!

We are often here before the Foxes' handball games. The food is always delicious, especially the many different types...the service is extremely nice and friendly, although sometimes all hell breaks loose here...the food comes very quickly...

Charge pub guests' cell phones via Qi - great! 👍😉☺️

Were there for the Christmas party. Like every year, it was great.

Exceptionally good German cuisine with 5 people there. Half duck is wonderful.

It used to be called Café Facebook, but I like it better that way

Very nice and cozy atmosphere. Despite the large number of guests, friendly and dedicated service. Balanced menu.

Good and honest food, directly opposite the Max-Schmeling-Halle with fair prices and friendly service. A fresh flower, candle, as well as sea salt and sensible pepper from the mill show the necessary appreciation for the guest and an attentive restaurateur. The only negative point was our table, which was directly in the flight path between the toilet and the kitchen, but that was bearable on a Friday evening + concert day. We'd love to come back! :-)

As always. Delicious, delicious 😋 delicious

The food was delicious and plentiful! The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed due to the high workload, but were still friendly.

Great food, brilliant vibe and fantastic staff

Good service, good home cooking and a pleasant crowd... Always happy to go there...

We drank café Americano and ordered delicious apple strudel. The apple strudel was served with a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream with a physalis or golden berry on the side. Highly recommended.

Good home cooking, very friendly staff, we would love to come back.

We always really enjoyed going to Café Meta. Either we had bad luck with the service twice in a row or the best days of the meta are over. The kitchen and the kitchen performance are actually always good. There used to be creative dishes too. But the German classics are popular. Unfortunately, the service now has to be described as almost entirely lackluster when it comes to serving the terrace or the outdoor area. We went inside twice and had to interrupt people chatting to order our food and then drinks. I found it even more unpleasant when I looked at the bill today and realized that two too many drinks had been bonged. Of course, our mistake, we should have checked and criticized it. Overall, it fit into yesterday's picture of the service staff. We were very disappointed yesterday and will probably take a break from visiting. A pity.

Rarely have I eaten so well elsewhere. Price performance, completely justified in the district. Small point of criticism...plate was cold...keep it up 😉

What can I say: I just love it! 🥰 The food is always delicious and freshly made, the service is always friendly with a nice sense of humor and quick sayings. This is Berlin. I always enjoy going there!

Very tasty food, very friendly staff, really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended to enjoy, gladly again. Second visit, all the same!!!!

Very cozy and delicious German cuisine. Service is very good. Always my pleasure.

We have enjoyed eating there for several years now, especially during asparagus season! Super delicious! The personnel is very friendly and courteous!

Very relaxed staff and great food. Almost every wish of the customer is fulfilled here. I will gladly come again!!!

Very rude waiter. I asked if I can have tap water when he brought the coffee. Then he said "next time please tell it before when you order". Am I confused or isn't bringing orders part of a waiter's job description? It is not insult or anything, but still super rude and arrogant behaviour.

Nice corner pub with Berlin Carme and good PLV

Super tasty and friendly people! Next time also cake

Very nice, very tasty. Recommended!

Really good German restaurant with decent German cuisine including an ideal location right next to the Max-Schmeling-Halle, the Falkplatz (there is also a playground hidden there) and the Mauerpark. Overall, recommended, reasonably priced, also suitable for family celebrations and birthdays or similar, super classic atmosphere and lots of wood, very family friendly (it doesn't bother if the children are loud too/the children are allowed to be relatively loud there), otherwise You don't often find this anymore in our beautiful Berlin!

We ate there for my mother's 90th birthday. Would we have preferred to go to another restaurant! The waiters were overwhelmed and uninterested. Although there were specific agreements about the meal, one meal was completely forgotten, sorry?... no, but not us Apparently they ordered one meal too few. The replacement meal (ragout fin) came 23 minutes later, when the other guests were already ready. And the ragout fin was from a can, just warmed up...The veal liver was available in several pieces, there was everything from almost raw to completely cooked through. The owner was a career changer and the staff was untrained? Coming from this industry (33 years in the catering industry), I think I can make this judgment.

Great food.. everything prepared deliciously. Price/performance is more than reasonable! Drinks come quickly and the service is very attentive. Keep it up! You're great!

So tasty and old-school. Great.

Very tasty food in a rustic atmosphere. Very nice waiter. Gladly again.

Just great, everything. Food always tastes good. Thanks keep it up

Nice reception and staff. Price too HIGH FOR ONE water 4 euros

Super lecker und toller Service

La comida y el servicio muy bien, hemos probado un filete de cerdo empanado con guarnición de patata, ensalada de pepino y huevo frito, y unas especie de albóndigas de carne con puré de patatas y ensalada de remolacha que estaban riquísimas. Y de postre un Creme Brule que es lo mismo que una crema catalana pero algo más suave

Sehr schöne Kneipe mit gutem Essen und sehr freundlichen Service.

Eine echte Berliner Kneipe in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Max-Schmeling-Halle. grandioses Schnitzel! Die Lauchsuppe und das Würzfleisch sehr lecker

Königsberger Klopse waren lecker mit Luft nach oben 4/5 ⭐ Schnitzel mit warmen Kartoffelsalat wurde mit Krautsalat serviert, da der Standard zu sein scheint; passt nu' leider überhaupt nicht zusammen. Schnitzel war lecker, aber den Kartoffelsalat mach ich besser! Krautsalat passt nicht zu Schnitzel und schon gar nicht zu Kartoffelsalat, daher nur 3/5 ⭐ Der Apfelstrudel mit Eis und Vanillesoße hatte viel zu viele Rosinen, die zudem in Alkohol eingelegt waren und war daher ungenießbar; würde 3/5 bekommen, wäre auf der Karte deutlich zu lesen gewesen, dass Alkohol drin ist... für trockene Alkoholiker fatal, bekommt daher leider 2/5 ⭐ Service lässt Luft nach oben 3/5 ⭐ Ambiente ist nett. 4/5⭐ Alles in allem verdiente 3 ⭐

Sehr gutes Wirtshaus, so würde ich es bezeichnen... Lecker Bier und vor allem leckeres Essen. Wir hatten Schnitzel, Königsberger Klopse und Schokomousse. Alles sehr lecker 😋

Super netter Service und dazu noch leckeres Schnitzel - jederzeit gern wieder!

Sehr schön am Mauerpark gelegen. Und schöne Mischung aus Kneipe und Restaurant. Die Karte ist zwar klein, aber das Essen sehr lecker zubereitet. Für Berlin ungewöhnlich freundliche Bedienung. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung...

Super freundliches Personal, haben dort nur etwas getrunken

Nice place offering good German food with a kind and professional service. We recommend it if you are around Mauer Park.

Netter Service, bei tollen Getränken u Speisen! Wir kommen gerne wieder

Wer sehr lecker essen Wie immer Sehr frisch auch im spätere Zeit Frisch und Lecker

Um sich für das Konzert in der max-schmeling-Halle zu stärken, kehrten wir hier ein. Es war gut was los, was leider zur Folge hatte, dass wir sowohl auf die Getränke als auch auf den hähnchen Salat sehr lange warten mussten. Es gab erst auf Nachfrage eine Info, dass die Küche überlastet sei, da der Laden voll ist. Als wir nach Brot vorab fragten, weil wir echt hungrig waren, bekamen wir das gefühlt widerwillig. Ich bin gern bereit, aufs Essen zu warten aber eine Info darüber oder schnellere Getränke stattdessen hätten die Wartezeit etwas versüßt.

Delicious food and super friendly service!

Freundliches Lokal mit typischer deutscher Küche. Freundliche Bedienung

Da vi selv boede på Prenzlauerberg (1999-2009) lå denne café der allerede. Det er faktisk et geheimtip at de mest autentiske berlinske spisesteder kalder sig cafeer (snarere end restauranter) - og serverer et mindre udvalg enkle, men vellavede retter, der veksler med sæsonen. De har typisk en tavle over en lang bar af træ, et stammtisch, og inventaret har ikke ændret sig i 100 år. ...Men i Metas tilfælde burde de virkelig male det store lokale i en mere neutral farve end skrigende grøn! Og tage nogle af de grimme hippie-lamper ned!

Hamburger art is the best! Love you guys

Wir waren vor einem Konzert dort. Wir hatten nicht reserviert und es war ziemlich voll, aber trotzdem wurde uns ein Platz angeboten. Die Angestellten waren alle sehr nett. Das Essen kam zügig und hat geschmeckt.

Die Käsespätzle sind super und die Bedienung sehr nett, schöne Atmosphäre

Sehr sehr unfreundliche Bedienung am 30.9.

Total gemütlich und das Essen war super lecker 😋

Nettes Eckcafé mit freundlichem Personal und einer kleinen, aber feinen Karte. Ideal, um sich vor oder nach dem Besuch einer Veranstaltung in der Max-Schmeling-Halle zu stärken.

Sehr freundlich. Käsespätzle und Salat ausgezeichnet. Bänke im Freien.

Nice local place with great food and very friendly staff

A complete German food immersion :)

Soulfood Schöne Gerichte finden sich auf der Karte. Und sind grundsolide zubereitet. Schaut man sich um, sieht man viele Gäste die sich hier wohlfühlen. Und auch ich bin sehr mit dem Service und dem bestellten Gericht zufrieden. Und unzählige warten darauf von mir probiert zu werden.

Super Essen und total nettes Personal!

Super leckeres, zartes Schnitzel. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam, haben auch abends am Wochenende spontan einen Platz bekommen.

Schnelle Bedienung, gutes Essen, leckeres Bier.

Hervorragente Schnitzel und mega netter, zuvorkommendes Service Personal. Die Bier sind sehr lecker! Ambiente bisschen veraltet... bicht wirklich ansprechend aber das gute Essen und der Service insbesondere das Preis Leistungsverhältnis lässt das alles wieder vergessen

Auch wenn man dort nur ein oder zwei Bier trinken will, ist man gern gesehen. Top Bedienung! Schöner Ort

Sehr gutes Essen und coole Bedienung

Tolle deutsche Küche und ein sehr freundlicher Service. Selbst bei viel Stress, wenn in der benachbarten Max-Schmeling-Halle Konzerte sind, sind alle Mitarbeiter entspannt und haben Spaß an der Arbeit 👍🏻 Danke und weiter so!

Hatte nur ein 🍺 in der Halbzeit Pause zwischen BFC DYNAMO BERLIN UND HERTHA BSC BERLIN. 4,90 hat es glaube ich gekostet. War jut.

Ich war bereits öfter im Café Meta. Bin immer sehr zufrieden. Das Personal ist gut gelaunt und freundlich, der Service ist schnell und zuverlässig. Das Essen schmeckt super gut - ich kann vor allem die „Schüttelgurken“ für den kleinen Hunger zwischendurch empfehlen. Aber auch die Schnitzel und Suppen sind total lecker. Ich gehe immer wieder gerne ins Meta, macht weiter so.

Bedienungen freundlich , Essen gut , wenn's voll ist ist sehr laut aber urig & gemütlich

Immer gutes Essen freundliche Bedienung.

Per toeval hier terecht gekomen. Mocht je in de buurt zijn, ga hierheen! Heerlijk restaurant op een lekker rustig plekje vlakbij het Mauerpark. Het menu is gericht op authentiek Duits en dat smaakt overigens ook dikke prima. Service is top. Dus als je in de buurt bent en je hebt trek, wip hier even naar binnen

Ruhig, angenehm, lecker. Mehr brauch es nicht. Gerne wieder!

Authentic German cuisine. Nice staff and friendly service. I would only wish for them to add a couple of more non meat options on the menu.

Rudest staff ever. The guy inside the bar was so rude that we left.

Ich hab hier zuletzt am 17.11.2014 gegessen. Irgendwie hab ich den Eindruck, das Schnitzel sei kleiner geworden und die Bratkartoffeln trockener... Aber, kann mich natürlich auch täuschen 🤷🏻‍♂️ Den Status als Lieblingsrestaurant am Mauerpark hat das Café Meta jedenfalls verloren 🥺

Eines der besten Schnitzel die ich je gegessen habe. (Hamburger Art) Wir hatten ordentliche Portionen und mussten weder aufs Essen, noch auf die Getränke lange warten. Auch auf Wünsche ist der Kellner nett eingegangen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
