Metzer Eck in Berlin

We went looking for a simple dinner with a German flavor and were met with terrible service from the moment we entered the restaurant. The fact that we didn't speak German was a total impediment to one staff member, as if he was annoyed by the mere fact of having us there (despite our good communication in English). On top of that, the potato side dishes for both dishes were reheated and looked more like leftovers mixed together from the day before. When it was time to pay, we found they only accepted cash (something all too common in the city), as well as an extra for drinks we never ordered. I don't recommend it.

Really good authentic German food. The schnitzel was very tasty.

First had to wait for a long time to place an order. Then I didn’t have cash and they were not very understanding about it. The food was fine.

Tiny place but the best German food I had on our 2 week trip. The schnitzel breading was crispy and stuck to the meat. Very tasty. Very authentic.

Loved the specials with the Weiss sparkle

The ambience is really awesome, you really feel like you're in an original Berlin pub, service, real Berlin snout, the food, the lard and the bread are super delicious, the schnitzel with vegetables and potato salad seemed like it was from an industrial bar, that's what this restaurant does, but it's not a bad thing, it convinces with all the qualities, it's super tasty

Great, old Berlin restaurant. We had delicious schnitzels at super fair prices. The service is also super nice.

I arrived at 21:45 on Saturday, kitchen supposedly closes at 2200 but they are open until midnight. The lady at the entrance said kitchen is closed...

Quaint corner pub, great service, delicious food and a nice terrace to sit outside. Like to come here.

Beautiful historic venue in Prenzlauer Berg. The place is very typical and not at all touristy. We had a wonderful meal and the service was excellent. The place is not very large and there is often the risk of finding it full, but it also has outdoor tables on the street in a very quiet and relaxing area. A great place to try German cuisine and get away from the tourist chaos for a bit. Highly recommended. N.B. They only accept cash payments.

Yes, unfortunately there are hardly any places like this.

Berlin pub with a Berlin snout, that's how it should be! We loved the food and service here and would love to come back.

Really good schnitzel and beer for a fair price!

Great corner pub - for a drink! The Metzer Eck is truly unique. A typical old Berlin pub with locals at the bar, a great atmosphere, and very friendly service with that (East) Berlin attitude, which we really like! The food, though... the solyanka is world-class, but the schnitzel and meatballs are simply average and small in portions, the fried potatoes are bone dry despite being fried and basically inedible. Currywurst is so-so... Great for a beer - better not to eat.

Prenzlauer Berg institution. Best schnitzel I’ve ever eaten. Wonderful ambiance and traditional decor.

How can something like this still exist? The classic pub on the corner! We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday evening, but we were still able to get a seat for a short time. The two ladies put their heart and soul into their work. Thank you! We'll be happy to come back for a beer and to enjoy one or two things from the small menu. The solyanka, mmm, one of the best I've ever tasted. The pot of lard with three large slices of bread is more than enough. The hospitality here is still palpable.

Unfortunately on March 11th We had an unpleasant experience when we wanted to have something to drink and eat around 5:30 p.m. First they left us wondering whether we would get a table - there were a lot of unoccupied tables - then they asked in a very harsh tone whether there should be anything else... no, unfortunately not there anymore!

Excellent schnitzel, delicious beer & good service! There is no better place for a get-together

very cozy corner pub with an atmospheric ambience and friendly service; Here you can immerse yourself in Berlin's history! Reservation recommended as there are not many places.

Time slows down here! Traditional berliner beer house. Great quality and casual friendly atmosphere.

A warm welcome and delicious, traditional German fare. The soup was delicious, I enjoyed my schnitzel, and the dry Riesling was prefect. We shall return! Note: they don’t take credit or debit cards, so make sure you have enough cash.

Great rustic restaurant which has been running since the early 1900s. You can definitely feel the charm of the years it’s been through. Very unique character. Schnitzel was great as well

Very attentive and friendly service. You could easily forget that you are in Berlin. Beer (early 2025) under 5 euros. Come again.

Probably the last bar in Berlin, and with style too. Price/performance great. Service great. Food/drink tastes great. We'll be back...your 13er1😉

Traditional Berlin pub. You can't complain

Good environment, kind staff, high quality food and beer. Little family-run restaurant/pub for 120 years as shown on the wall.

A real pub! See you again in March. Greetings from Lippstadt.

Interesting place, simple and cheap meals, we came across it by chance. It may be necessary to reserve, but we arranged and made a table sharing with other visitors escaping the cold. Remember to ask for the menu of the day, the basic menu is available in several languages.

Heel gezellig oud (1913) café met vriendelijke bediening. De sfeer is heel leuk, je waant je in de oude tijden. Echt een aanrader voor een gezellige borrel of een hapje eten.

Si hay un pub que sé que voy a visitar en cualquier vacación que tome a esta fascinante ciudad es Metzer Eck , estado aquí muchas veces a lo largo de los años, siempre lo pasé bien y así lo demostró en nuestro último. Un pub de gran aspecto, el interior es magnífico, muy auténtico, es una institución de Berlín Oriental, no ha cambiado en años y mucho mejor para ella, gran decoración y mobiliario, un bar de servicio de aspecto fresco domina la sala principal y hay un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto dentro como fuera mirando a las calles concurridas y bulliciosas alrededor de este pub. Pedimos cervezas, estas fueron servidas en excelentes condiciones siendo heladas frías y espumosas y simplemente nos relajamos y disfrutamos del gran pub en el que estábamos mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas. Las cervezas servidas aquí son spot on , frío helado y muy fácil de beber, era tan bueno estar en un pub tan encantador disfrutando de una cerveza de calidad y se sentó con mi hermano gemelo , mejor compañero de cerveza del mundo. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz como en cualquier otra visita a Metzer Eck nos lo pasamos muy bien. Metzer Eck es fácil de localizar a lo largo de Metzer Straße. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a sábado, 16h hasta medianoche. Domingo, cerrado. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en la zona.

Typical dishes. Friendly staff and speaks French.

The star dish is the schnitzel (like Milanese from Argentina but a different touch because they add a little bit of butter with herbs on top that melts) which is the specialty and delicious. I suggest a plate to share if you don't eat much dinner because we ordered one each and it was too much. PRICE: From 12 euros per schnitzel. CALL BEFORE you go because we were only able to eat thanks to a woman who offered us the table she was leaving. HOW TO GET THERE: The M2 leaves you one block away (and if not on foot because it is close to Alexander Square) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Turned away due to no reservation. Didn’t get to eat and doesn’t allow others to wait for a table. Some nights closed for private events. Good luck.

Metzer Eck on Metzer straße fue un brillante pub y restaurante del viejo mundo que ofrece una gama tradicional de comida y bebidas y está en una excelente zona de Berlín, donde hay muchos pubs / bares y restaurantes. Este es un magnífico pub y restaurante del viejo mundo que se estableció por primera vez en 1913 y ha sido propiedad de la misma familia desde entonces. Se encuentra en una esquina y se encuentra en un magnífico edificio del viejo mundo. El interior de este lugar es magnífico, con muchos elementos interesantes relacionados con la historia de Metzer Eck y todas las personas famosas que han visitado. Hay muchos accesorios y características interesantes y magníficas zonas de estar en todo su interior y una terraza exterior. Hemos visitado aquí varias veces a lo largo de los años y es tan bueno ahora como cuando mi hermano gemelo y yo visitamos aquí por primera vez hace muchos años. Hemos tenido numerosas comidas aquí durante el año, pero esta vez tomamos un par de cervezas. En nuestro viaje a aquí tuvimos unas cervezas locales de Berlín que se sirven en perfectas condiciones y a un precio razonable. Metzer Eck es tan auténtico como se pone y es una alegría visitar, especialmente si usted está buscando una comida tradicional o bebidas tradicionales y vale la pena visitar. (Estas son mis primeras reseñas de Metzer Eck). Horario de apertura. Lunes - Viernes - 16. 00 - 00 . 00 . Sábado - 18. 00 - 00 . 00 . Domingo - Cerrado. Parada de autobús. Parada de autobús U Senefelderplatz - N 2. Parada de tranvía. Parada de tranvía Prenzlauer Allee/Metzer Straße - M 2. U-Bahn Stop. Senefelderplatz U - Bahn Stop - U 2 .

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!!

Delicioso! He estado comiendo principalmente a base de plantas durante unos años, pero estoy aquí en Berlín y nuestros anfitriones nos llevaron al restaurante para auténtica comida alemana. Teníamos el schnitzel y la albóndiga. Yum yum yum. No volveré a la carne, pero no me arrepiento. El schnitzel era enorme y de lejos el mejor que he probado. La albóndiga era como una deliciosa hamburguesa. Las patatas estaban crujientes y hechas con tocino. En general divino. Muy recomendable

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

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

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)

Estábamos dando vueltas buscando un lugar para tomar algo de cena y nos topamos con Metzer Eck. No teníamos una reserva, pero nos obligaron con una mesa al aire libre. Nuestro servidor era clásicamente alemán, estoico pero amigable. Ella nos desafió a utilizar nuestro alemán en lugar de cambiar inmediatamente al inglés, que apreciamos mucho. Basado en la clientela, esto era claramente un restaurante de barrio vs una trampa turística estándar. La comida era muy buena y hablaba a una pequeña cocina donde todo se hace con amor. Disfrutamos mucho de la experiencia auténtica y lo recomiendo a otros que buscan un sabor real de Berlín.

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?

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

Yes, you can do it, treat yourself!

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.

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!

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

Noch eine echte, nicht gentrifizierte, Berliner Kneipe

Einfach ein wahr gewordener Traum. Grüße an Irmchen!
