Metzer Eck in Berlin

A little disappointed. I went to this restaurant ten years ago, and I loved it. Family atmosphere, typical Berlin dishes (pork shank, pea puree...). So I went back there with my eyes closed with friends. But: more than Currywurst and Schnitzel on the menu. Very good otherwise, but too classic. The service was quick and friendly. However, there is a grimace when it's time to leave. My French friends who paid that evening did not think, as good French people, to leave a tip. We were clearly glared at, I only understood afterwards! So: good, friendly family setting, but nothing extraordinary and... Don't forget the tip!...

old Berlin corner pub with an almost family atmosphere in Prenzlauer Berg. Good beer, delicious schnitzels, pool table in the back room with great pictures on the wall... What more do you need for a nice evening with friends.

Rustic corner pub with old origins. Basically serves beer and schnitzel, but that's enough. Amazing atmosphere!

Nice, quick service in a fragrant atmosphere. Successful men's evening, thank you. We'll be back!

I would eat at Metzer every day!! Typical German place with incredible food quality. The ladies who work inside are very kind. The only flaw is that you only pay in cash (you can withdraw from the machine in front of the restaurant). Everything Top!

We were in the city again and spontaneously found a place in Metzer Eck. The food was very tasty, the local Rollberg red and also the Rollberg light are highly recommended as a beer. The service was excellent and super friendly with always a nice word to say. We will come back if it is possible, but then with a table reservation, which you should definitely do because the corner is popular and well attended.

Atmosphere seemed cool. It was just me so I went ahead and asked if I could do a no reservation (seems like you need a reservation here since they turned away parties). They sat me at a table by myself and I was able to order a drink but that’s it. They didnt ask me for food and I was waiting the whole time while drinking my beer. I just left 5 euro on the table and left. The bartender and server were outside vaping. Would not recommend unless you do a reservation or if the service is nice on a certain day.

Very good, that's how you imagine Berlin 👍👍👍👍

The best thing that can happen to you in Berlin. Food, service, atmosphere, everything was absolutely top. From now on my favorite pub.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. All.

Best schnitzel I’ve ever had. Make sure to bring cash.

Everything was fabulous, even making reservations for many people was no problem. We were treated very kindly and especially outside you have a nice Berlin feeling without it being too loud.

The real deal. Very authentic feeling place. Great front beer garden in a quiet street. Not too touristy.

Were here for summer skating and it was as usual. Menu small but nice - all recommended. At the beginning the beer came to our table quite well, later it got better :-). You can't say anything - always happy - full marks

Really great place! We're always happy to come back! In summer you can sit outside. The menu offers very good, classic German/Berlin cuisine of great quality.

Unfriendly staff, food very plain, interior not as nice as on the website images.

Quaint restaurant. It's nice to sit outside. There is a small menu where you know that everything on it will taste great. Price performance is really good. Only recommended.

The Metzer Eck is one of the few traditional corner bars still in existence! The food is delicious and the home cooking is very good value for money. The service is personal and with a lot of heart!! You immediately feel very comfortable there!! The beer garden is of course great in summer - you sit under very old trees - the border is made up of hydrangeas in old beer barrels - so just feel good and enjoy!!!

A restaurant where you can eat delicious Berlin food.

Great place, mainly locals and few tourists. Simple card. Take cash, debit card not possible. There is an ATM across the street. Relatively cheap

Fantastic! Top quality typical German food. Excellent service!

A really nice old-style pub, with friendly service and simple, tasty food. Plus a great history of the business and charm from older times. Kind regards from Thuringia

Lång och intressant historia på stället. Okej mat men inte mer. Så arg ägare/servitris när vi inte förstod hennes fråga om vi hade reservation att det nästan blev komiskt. Himlade med ögonen, höjde rösten och slängde fram menyn.

Visited there several times; always great food and friendly staff!!

Delicious! I’ve been eating mostly plant based for a few years but I’m here in Berlin and our hosts took us to the restaurant for authentic German food. We had the schnitzel and the meat ball. Yum yum yum. Not be going back to meat but I have no regrets. The schnitzel was huge and by far the best I’ve ever had. The meatball was like a delicious hamburger. The potatoes were crisp and made with bacon. Overall divine. Highly recommend

If you want to feel at home, then here. Delicious freshly cooked food, always cool drinks and super loving staff.

Nice old little pub. The typical German dishes are very tasty, the currywurst, the schnitzel and the potato salad are particularly recommended.

I came to this place after careful research on where to eat Berlin food. The place is historic, well kept and very characteristic, located in one of the most particular neighborhoods of East Berlin. The service was very good, and so was the food, which however I expected to come with more generous portions. Prices are basically ok and in line with other similar places in Berlin. Prepare cash because they don't accept cards (in Germany the managers are not obliged to differ from Italy, so don't start arguing unnecessarily)

I can't comment on the food, service and environment because a lady at the entrance told us that the place was closed when it was supposed to be open... closed for the Germany match?

We were trolling around looking for a place to grab some dinner and stumbled upon Metzer Eck. We didn't have a booking but they obliged us with an outdoor table. Our server was classically German, stoic but friendly. She challenged us to use our German instead of immediately switching to English which we greatly appreciated. Based on the clientele, this was clearly a neighborhood restaurant vs a standard tourist trap. The food was very good and spoke to a small kitchen where everything is made with love. We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic experience and recommend it to others looking for a real taste of Berlin.

Closed for no reason 😢😢😔 If there are no staff available, you can let the guests know and maybe understanding will develop. We are tourists and the advertisements on TV made us want to take a look at the oldest pub. After the 2nd attempt we decided on the assessment. We changed the ambience because the plants outside are really beautiful.

Dringend und kurzfristig brauchte ich eine Berlintypische Ur-Kneipe für meine Jubiläumsfeier und man empfahl mir das Metzer Eck. Goldrichtige Entscheidung für die "location" für alle Absprachen in der Vorbereitungsphase und die 100% Umsetzung des Zugesagten. 50 Gäste und Lob von allen Seiten für das Metzer Eck, insbesondere den Service und die Vielfalt der angebotenen warmen und kalten Speisen und die Qualität - angefangen beim warmen, frischen Brot über die Braten, die kalten Platten bis hin zum Dessert. Witzig der Einlasser "security rote Kalaschnikow", der sauber und grimmig schauend, gemäß Gästeliste nur Gäste für die komplett angemietete Kneipe einließ und die Professionalität der sichtbaren Damentroika um die Chefin, neben dem alles richtig gemacht habenden Küchenteam. Einziger Wermutstropfen - einer der Gäste wollte Billard spielen, alle Gäste wollten feiern und die Kellnerinnen konnten meinem einsamen Schwäbischen Freund auch nicht helfen. Das ist eben Berlin - immer frech freundlich - aber Job ist Job. Für mich, jederzeit wieder, wenn man es schafft einen Termin für solche Feiern für 40 bis 50 Leute rechtzeitig abzustimmen. Großes Lob an das Metzer Eck

Pleasant dishes, fair prices, good welcome. Recommended to find some Berlin calm.

A standing place in a very fast paced neighborhood, the atmosphere, the friendly service, the delicious food, all comes at an affordable price, I recommend it a lot.

Typically Berlin! Yummy ! Friendly ! Top service! But more expensive than described online

The experience of German cuisine in a nice corner with a pleasant and efficient waitress

We recommend. I ate the best currywurst with potato salad in Berlin and enjoyed a delicious apple strudel with it.

Real typical place, abundant and tasty dishes. Best strudel I ever ate during the whole holiday!

Really nice and old Berlin pub, of which there are unfortunately fewer and fewer. Just nice there 👍

Really nice and solid place. Wonderful if you sit outside in the sun!

We had schnitzel and currywurst. Once with fried potatoes and also with potato salad. We had red beer to drink. Everything was absolutely great.

Imagine: a cozy German restaurant, located on the corner of a lively neighborhood, with a lovely terrace where you can enjoy good beer and tasty schnitzels. The employees welcome you with open arms and are always ready to help. It is a place where you immediately feel at home, surrounded by the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. For us it was a true discovery and highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic German experience.

If you are looking for a traditional Berlin bar and food with lots of heritage you can do no better than going to Metzer Eck. The business has been in the same family for about 100 years. Excellent outdoor area for some good evening summer sun.. essential booking as it is always booked out. Go inside the bar and see the heritage of it as it has not been updated with many original features like the coal fire (not working as now as part of the bar). The Schnitzel has to be one of the best value and taste ratio I have tried in Berlin. , go for it with herb butter as super delish. I do feel other items on the menu are a little expensive for what you get but still very tasty.

Siamo arrivati senza prenotazione e dopo due secondi la cameriera ci riserva un tavolo all’aperto. Piatti tipici tipici tedeschi dove vi è davvero l’imbarazzo della scelta. Tutto perfetto

Awesome German food and beer at this location. Very traditional food and tasty beer to wash it back with. We had a very nice seat on the patio with great service! The inside was nice also, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff.

It couldn't be better - a great pub in the neighborhood - great food and wine - of course all the beers you could want - simply great

Rustic, original pub with good schnitzel. The map is clear, but the decision isn't too difficult. The waitresses are Berlin originals and friendly as long as they are treated kindly. The pub has been in family hands since the beginning of the 19th century. There's good beer on top.

A real Berlin corner pub with tradition Staff friendly and original Food and beer very tasty The potato salad: great Great ambience Very good price/performance ratio Highly recommended Be sure to reserve!

They didn't let us stay for dinner, they told us that everything was full, when there were 3 free tables... I think it was because we were going with 2 children... 1 hour walking for nothing. Thank you!

What a pleasure to eat in this authentic German restaurant. The staff and clientele where so friendly. Steeped in history if you can get in I'd say is a must. Next time I'm back I know where I'm getting my schnitzel

A nice, very authentic restaurant, good, simple dishes at prices that you can hardly find in Prenzlauer Berg. The beer selection is also very good, not the usual monotony. Disadvantage: It requires at least one real vegetarian dish.

Yes, you can do it, treat yourself!

Pub with a real pub feeling. Like 50 years ago.

Rustic corner restaurant with a long tradition. Good beer, wine and spirits. The food was really great, we had schnitzel with really homemade potato salad and one with fried eggs and also very good fried potatoes. Everything is great.

A really lovely, historic bar. It's very cosy and welcoming. The staff are excellent, making it a really great place to relax. It's a nice oasis away from busy Berlin bars. A good selection of drinks are available. It feels very homely.

If you like, enjoy and appreciate traditional Berlin pub culture and prefer a meatball of sushi, this is the right place for you.

We were thrilled with the location. The 3 ladies are very nice and are still trying to find a place. The food was good, value for money is okay. Would love to come back.

When multiple times, they clearly do not want an American in the restaurant because they said they were full even on a Tuesday when there were clearly seats available.

The waitress was absolutely perfect, friendly and gave us a pleasant experience.

Ich hatte in dieser urigen Gaststätte mein Klassentreffen......ein toller Abend 👍😉

Eine schöne urige alt Berliner Kneipe!

Hammer Kiez Kneipe Zwei tolle Mädels: :)

Her kan du få pølse i brød etter at kjøkkenet har stengt. Det står i menyen!

Noch eine echte, nicht gentrifizierte, Berliner Kneipe

Die urigste Kneipe in Prenlzberg. echt authentische Berliner Hausmannskost. Kartoffelsalat oder Bratkartoffeln-keene Pommes! Das gefällt mir👍🫶

Einfach ein wahr gewordener Traum. Grüße an Irmchen!

Wir erlebten zu zweit ein schnoddrige, überhebliche, fast unfreundliche Bedienung, Leben vom Rum der Vergangenheit. Wenn man nicht direkt zur täglichen Trinkgemeinde gehört ist man ein Fremder, der ausgegrenzt wird. Diese Gaststätte kommt kiezbetont daher, ist aber kein vergleichsweise positives, professionelleres Aushängeschild für die berliner Gastronomie. Kein Dankeschön und Auf Wiedersehen, auch bei einem reichlichen Trinkgeld. Mein Freundin entschuldigte sich fast für jede neue Bestellung, da unser Tisch, an dem Fremde sitzen, prinzipiell nach der ersten Bestellung gemieden wurde, aber mit dem Nachbartisch "Schmusekurs" betrieben wurde.....

Sehr nette Bedienung ! Lecker Essen und moderate Preise!

Sehr gute traditionelle Eckkneipe mit Berliner Essen und guter Atmosphäre. Im Sommer kann man draußen sitzen.

Lovely small establishment with loads of charm. We had great service, delicious food and fine drinks. Would recommend for a nice casual evening out.

Super cooles Restaurant/Kneipe! Bedienung super freundlich, Essen preislich und Geschmacklich echt klasse. Da gibt es eigentlich nichts zu meckern. Klare Empfehlung!

Excellent service, authentic German food, relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonable prices

Glücklicherweise hatte Curry 32 Urlaib und sind so zu diesem Kleinod der deutschen Küche gekommen. Super Currywurst, der Kartoffelsalat war so gut ich habe nur extra Portion bestellt. Sohn 4,5 J war begeistert von den ehrlich fertigen Bratkartoffeln. Wer stylisches Interieur und Hipsters sucht, ist? hier falsch. Wer ein zünftiges Bier mit ner richtigen Currywurst sucht, muss hierher. Konnten leider nur die leeren Teller fotografieren. Haben es einfach zu flott reingefahren :-)

Wie eh und je, sehr lecker, gute Bedienung und ein schöner, ruhiger Platz um den Feierabend zu genießen.

Ganz tolle Eckkneipe! Danke für den schönen Abend!

Die Karte ist sehr klein, dafür aber gut und lecker - Brotzeit als Starter mit Schmalz und dann ein Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln - oder vegetarisch einen Salat - gut bürgerlich, wie es sich für eine Eckkneipe gehört - und EBENFALLS gut bürgerlich und mit dem Herz auf der Zunge die Bedienung - wenn das Berliner Eis gebrochen ist und man sich erstmal gegenseitig angepflaumt hat, läuft es super 😉 so wie es in Berliner Eckkneipe halt sein muss Danke für die Runde Schnaps 🤟🏼

Sehr schöne Urberliner Wirtschaft mit freundlicher und schneller Bedienung.

Gemütliche, urige Kneipe! Freundliches Personal top !!!

Local restaurant with great food and not expensive. The service is also great. Worth coming! I’ll be back! Thank you!

Essen war super. soljanka wie zu Hause und Schnitzel auch wirklich gut. Nur für die Bratkartoffeln gibts ein bisschen Abzug, die waren irgendwie gummiartig und liessen sich schwer kauen. Ich kann den Laden definitiv weiterempfehlen. Preis / Leistung ist spitze!

Ur Berliner Kneipe. Mit herrlichen Ambiente. Personal sehr freundlich und Speisen typisch Berliner Hausmannskost. Preise sind korrekt

Wirklich schöne gemütliche Kneipe. Service ist top und freundlich. Ich hatte ein Bauernfrühstück, welches ausreichend portioniert und lecker war.

Eine gute alte Berliner Eck-Kneipe. Freundliche und natürliche Atmosphäre, die Speisen sind einfach und rustikal aber wirklich lecker.

Gemütliche Gaststätte mit einer besonderen familiären Geschichte, sehr altertümlichen Einrichtung . Die Bedienung hatte viel zu tun, da bleibt die Freundlichkeit schon etwas auf der Strecke, leider.

Tiquement berlinois comme restaurant. On peut y manger le fameux currywurst et l'appelstrudel. C'est simple, bon et pas cher! La salle est resté dans son jus ce qui nous met dans une atmosphère particulière. Les serveuses parlent anglais et sont sympathiques. Il vaut mieux réserver, ce restaurant est très pris par les allemands !

Hallo, wir waren mit unseren Mittwochsstammtisch (15 Leute ) letzten Mittwoch den 28.05.23 hier und das Metzer Eck hat immer noch den gleichen Charm wie ich es noch kenne aus DDR Zeiten. Die Bedienung ist sehr Nett und Freundlich. Das Essen war sehr Lecker und alle waren sehr begeistert. Vor allem waren sie auch darüber begeistert, dass diese Idyllische kleine Kneipe als Filmkulisse für den Film " Nebenan " genutzt wurde. Der film wurde aber in den Filmstudios von Babelsberg gedreht wo die Kneipe nachgebaut wurde. Fazit von uns allen wir kommen gern wieder. Das Metzer Eck ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Located in a less touristy neighbourhood than the central districts, this restaurant is very nice and quaint. We enjoyed it very much. The ladies were very friendly and helpful, the prices fair, the dishes very good and traditional (the strudel was exceptional). Very good beer. Definitely worth a visit!

Très bon restaurant, je recommande fortement !

Uriges Original mit Hackbrötchen und Kasselerkeule!!(wann hab ich das zuletzt gegessen??? :o) ). So fühlt sich Berlin im Ursprung an!

Sehr ansprechendes und angenehm traditionelles Restaurant. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt!

Todo excelente, muy recomendado para que pruebes deliciosa comida alemana. Su carta no es muy grande, pero todo lo que ofrecen, lo hacen muy bien.

Ein Lokal, in dem das Verweilen erfunden wurde.

Ein schöne urische Kneipe mit netten Servicekräften und guter Hausmannskost.

Kamm Familie zu Besuch und wollten etwas Deutsches probieren. Essen war super, vor allem die Fleischsuppe. Die Kellnerin (mit rosa Haare) war suuper nett und geduldig mit uns. Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Vielen Dank!

Bel locale, tipica birreria, fuori dal turismo di massa, con birre buone e varie oltre che piatti tipici fatti in casa. Avventori del posto, locale per provare a sentirsi un po' tedeschi davvero.

Echtes Stück Berliner Geschichte. Hier komme ich gerne hin. Ihr solltet unbedingt die Bratkartoffeln probieren :)

Sehr schöne Altberliner Kneipe (wohl die älteste durchgehend geöffnete im Prenzlauer Berg ) gemütlichen Ambiente und schmackhafter deutscher Küche und natürlich Fassbier. Schön dass man auch mal wieder ein Bauernfrühstück essen kann. Beeindruckend ist auch die Tatsache dass sich das Ecklokal buchstäblich seit Kaisers Zeiten durch verschiedene Währungen und Systeme hindurch gehalten hat. Und hoffentlich noch lange gibt.

Im Sommer sitzt es sich sehr schön im kleinen Järtchen. Dazu lecker Soljanka und Bulette mit Bratkartoffeln.

Gemütliches kleines Restaurant das wir auf alle Fälle wieder besuchen werden. Die Soljanka ist sehr sehr lecker. Den Service kann man nicht überbieten. Freundlicher als die Damen vor Ort geht es nicht. Vielen Dank und bis bald.

Чудове місце для відпочинку з друзями, місце з багатою історією
