Muschelbar in Berlin

Very cool place. I love small intimates and fun place like this. Small menu which is amazing, focus only on mussels and they do it perfectly. The wine is really good and staff has great recommendations. The lady who was working there that day was so fun and made us have an amazing night. Cannot with to go back there.

There are 1.5 hour slots allocated in the evening - so you're a bit rushed and it won't be comfortable.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you ❣️

Super tasty mussels and fries! Worth a visit!

Very good food, nice service - absolute holiday feeling :)

The mussel dishes taste excellent.

RESERVE A SPOT FIRST! We were just gonna get something light before dinner, but it was so good we ended up reordering. Crispy fries and fresh Muschel. It‘s tasty and great wine collections. the small intimate bar is quite full on Saturday at 17:00 so best plan your visit ahead to ensure you’ll get a table.

Absolute recommendation for all mussel lovers - super cool brew (bread was added for dipping)

The mussel bar is simply a 10/10! The food, the wine selection, the service - perfect.

It was on my list for such a long time. I’m a huge fan of moules frites and these didn’t disappoint! There’s no « classic » per se (such as marinière), and I only tasted the white wine and vermouth moules and the mejillones and both were extremely tasty! The fries were also delicious, stayed warm for long, thin and crunchy! The rouille was on spot. We got naughty and also had dessert, special note to the fondant au chocolat! Will definitely have the iced lemon in summer. Also worth mention is the amazing staff working there. Very friendly, professional, they made a great impression. 100% recommended!

Incredible mussels, wine, and fries. The server was unbelievably friendly and charming. Would come here again and again. Reserve in advance!

An absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great, but what really gives this place five stars are the staff and owner. When we had a small issue with our meal, Martin (the owner) went out of his way to make it right. Just make sure to book a table, because it fills up fast!

Mega friendly service, mussels very tasty, fries crispy... perfect evening! Thanks

All in all an 11 out of 10! Service was top🔥, location and ambience were great and the food was simply delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice service, small but nice menu

I want to go here again. Great staff and the mussels were unrivaled in their deliciousness.

We tried all of the muscles and all the dishes were fabulously delicious!

An absolute insider tip! The service is incredibly warm - attentive, helpful and simply lovely. They take their time, provide expert advice on wine selection and support you with recommendations for food. A big thank you to the team for this wonderful evening! The food was simply fantastic: the mussels were delicious, the fries were perfectly crispy and we even really enjoyed the dessert. A place you should definitely visit - we will definitely come back!

The three of us ate at the mussel bar today. The dishes all tasted very good. The service was tip top. Come again.

Love it! The Moules Frites are delicious and all the wines pair perfectly. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are a delight. Will come many more times for sure!

This Place is Ace!!! Service is hard to match!!!

Very tasty, mussels in Berlin yes, the mussels are completely fine. Of course not comparable to fresh from the sea. Definitely an enrichment for Berlin. 💪 Our recommendation: mussels in white stock. There is no Pils here, but light beer.

Very small, cozy but friendly place. Excellent fries. Great team.

really something special. Very quaint and trendy. Menu limited to mussels. great cool service

Luckily we spontaneously got a table. It was very tasty (we had moules frites in red broth and mejillones), but we were particularly impressed by the team. Really great. Thank you for this really pleasant experience.

We tried 3 types of clams. The best 1 was with gorgonzola sauce. Important - great bread for the sauce. Great wine selection

Very nice and amazing food! In summer its super nice to sit outside :)

We had a very good wine with the mussels. Very friendly service.

Nothing but mussels, but in unknown recipes. The combination of mussels with kale and ribs sounds strange but tastes awesome! Very friendly service and cool atmosphere!

Nice place and service, but dont expect actual french mussel style like Marinière etc.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of getting a table in the Muschel Bar and we really couldn't have had a nicer start to the weekend. The mussels were amazing and the service was great. You can't stay there for long, as the next guests will look for their seats after the reserved hour and a half. We were there at 5 p.m., which has the advantage that the small, charming shop is not yet bursting at the seams. After a visit there, there are countless bars nearby to end the evening. We ended up in the panties bar next door and were very happy there too.

Super tasty mussels and the fries were amazing too. Your J. German <3

Excellent service, heavenly delicious food. Possibility to reserve for the early evening on a Friday afternoon. We'd love to come back!

Absolute perfection on the 3xfried fritte, like you used to get in Brussels but no more — and the mussels. The sauces were a little heavy handed but makes sense given it’s Berlin and a lot of drinking’s happening. The house aperitif is superb, and the wine recommendation we got by the glass was superb. Also, I had the ridiculous winter special with gorgonzola, almonds, and brussel sprouts, and loved it. Nothing vegan but the drinks.

Does what it promises: the mussels were good and tasty. I like the clear menu and the ambience. Wines were well matched and tasty

I highly recommend making a reservation, which can easily be done online. Finding a spot inside can be challenging, especially during winter. This place is known for its delicious mussels, and the menu changes from time to time, keeping things fresh and exciting. It's the perfect spot to enjoy amazing mussels and have a great time chatting with friends over wine. We went with friends and had a fantastic experience. I can’t recommend it enough!

I can only warmly recommend the mussel bar! The mussels were to die for – fresh, tender and perfectly seasoned. There were also the best fries I've had in a long time - crispy and golden brown. The vibe in the bar was super relaxed and inviting, you immediately feel at home. The atmosphere is perfect for a cozy evening with friends or a romantic dinner. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I will visit again and again!

Amazing food, big portions, very pleasant staff, decent pricing .

Intimate and casual spot with a lovely vibe and friendly people. Booking recommended

Delicious food, great service, lovely interior.

Super tasty mussels, nice atmosphere and attentive service! Unfortunately, every type of mussel has garlic in it - it would be great if you could choose (not everyone likes it). But that's complaining at a high level! :)

Very tasty and absolutely top service. Service Attentive and friendly! The fantastic fries are particularly delicious with the mussels!

An almost magical place that could also be in France on the Côte d'Azur. The mussel broth is fantastic, the fries are crispy and the wine selection is small but fine. I'm a fan!

Very tasty moules frites. The stock was more than solid and the fries were super crispy. The service is just really nice. We'll definitely be back.

Super great and small restaurant with great service and super delicious food!

Top of the Top and i ll go again next week!

This is just perfect, I don't even know what to add!

Great mussels, unfortunately a bit narrow and loud.

Great food, salty fries, big portion, small place, a bar in the end, but nice people - please take a reservation, helps everyone!

Went there last Sunday evening and were glad we had reserved. Apparently it's already widely known that you'll get your money's worth here, because the mussel bar was full and so we had to wait a bit for our table, although we were there a little too early. Nevertheless, we received a friendly welcome from the service and were already provided with delicious drinks. So we were able to take in the stylish ambience. After a short time we were able to go to our table and order two of three menu options. Even though the restaurant was full, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food itself was phenomenal, simply delicious and very well balanced. You'll be served delicious bread to dip the delicious brew into and you'll really get your money's worth! You can really tell that they have specialized in a limited selection here. The espressos at the end were also delicious. All in all one of the best, if not the best, restaurant visit in Berlin. An absolute recommendation if you fancy mussels!

Incredibly nice and attentive service, great atmosphere and delicious, high-quality mussels. The price is already in the upper range for mussels. The brew is actually always rather unusual. I think classic mussels in white wine (without cream) would still look good in the kitchen.

Great service with great food. The menu was clear and I was able to make a quick decision. The atmosphere that the restaurant had was very pleasant.

Great evening, fantastic mussels, best fries ever, super friendly team. Everything was just right here. We'd love to come back. All is well with the world here, thank you very much for the unforgettable evening. Elli, Tobi and Mario you are incomparable!

Attentive service, good food, delicious wine. You can make a mussel bar.

WOW as in WOW. Mussels served in three different sauces, perfect fries, and some great wines. That's all you need for a wonderful meal. The decor is so simple yet cozy.

Basically I liked the food. However, other restaurants can do this too, so I don't have to go to the mussel bar. There are only mussels and I would have liked more selection/variations on the menu. It's best to show up on time, otherwise there's a big risk of being left outside. If you're late, the clock is ticking... okay, understandable. After the time has elapsed, please get out again quickly. The staff is friendly, you can't say anything about it, it's just that the concept is not for quiet eating and enjoying. The shop is nice, the food is okay, so basically everything is fine. I would just miss that special thing to give it a higher rating.

Lovely service, lovely Sauvignon Blanc (German!! Who knew?!) and good food :-))

Best mussels and value for money

Wonderful experience. The selection of preparation methods is unique, along with perfect wine and excellent, warm-hearted service. Always happy!

Having grown up in Brussels, Belgium where moules (mussels) are a particular culinary attribute to the Belgians, I was blown away by the Muschelbar. The service was friendly and exceptional, and the food was simply delicious, everything was perfect. I can't recommend this place enough, it is perfect to meet with a friend, or a romantic date, it truly has the right atmosphere. I would give it 6 stars if I could!

Super tasty! We had white brew and red. The white super tasty rounded taste with celery, white wine. The red one is very fruity and tomato. The fries with the sauce were super crispy and probably the best we've ever had. All in all with delicious white wine 10/10 and absolutely recommended!

Really good money for value and the place is always buzzin. The service is great and they even allowed me to eat in the place next to it, since it was packed. Keep up the good work!

Delicious, exciting food and big portions. Everything very aesthetic and the service was the nicest ever

Absolutely spectacular meal. Wonderful service. Great selection of wine. Highly recommend

The mussels were a bit bland. The fries are great

Visitors or family are then treated to the mussel bar. It's just wonderful - the bright smiles from the lovely staff Wonderful food and fine wine Great joy, you go home and the visitor thinks wow, she's got it

Great!!! You don't need mussels and three more sauces :) Found it spontaneously and highly recommended! Service extremely friendly! Unfortunately I only have photos afterwards 😅 but I think the other reviews speak for themselves.

I am a french cook - best Moules Frites in Berlin. Amazing how a little place in Berlin offers better Moules Frites than most of places in France!

We had such a lovely evening here!! Our friend Chris celebrated his birthday and it was really a CELEBRATION😍 The food was really tasty and perfect if you want to treat yourself without being extremely shocked by the price afterwards. Mario made the evening an experience, thank you for this sweet service💗 & the empanadas + espresso martini were the cherry on top! Kisses to the team!!!

Super tasty and so friendly. Walked by by chance. Heartfelt recommendation ❤️❤️❤️ We'll definitely be back

In the mussel bar you will always be warmly welcomed and advised by the staff. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is just great. The mussels and the wines are simply extremely delicious! Everything just fits!! I really enjoy bringing my friends here!

Super place - awesome mussels, good wine, great service! Thank you!

I walked past it every morning and every evening, twice a day. Now I was finally in, and I want to eat Moules Frite again tomorrow at the mussel bar. The map is very clear, which makes decision-making very easy. There are three different varieties of mussels in different brews. It actually comes with the tastiest fries I've eaten in a long time! A generous bowl of mussels and plenty of fries costs €20, which I think is a very fair price. We also drank a white wine, which was also very tasty. The staff is friendly and nice. Especially after the renovation, the mussel bar is also very friendly decorated inside. And yet I recommend sitting outside. I think it makes sense to reserve in advance. It's actually always full and all the seats are taken. I would recommend the mussel bar to my parents and go back there straight away

Finally back after six weeks renovation. Prices higher than before, but quality top notch, so not complaining. Service wonderful as ever. A must-go once a month :)

A real insider tip in Prenzlauer Berg: The Muschelbar on Dunckerstrasse. Here you can find incredibly delicious mussels in different variations - always fresh, always top. Perfect fries and just the right wine. The restaurant is small and super cozy, which creates a great, communicative atmosphere. The places are in demand, so be sure to reserve in advance! The service is warm and attentive, you immediately feel at home. In short: a culinary highlight that you shouldn't miss!

The mussels in the picture cost €19.50 with a portion of fries and a bit of baguette. It was super tasty and reasonably priced. The food definitely gets 5/5 stars for that. The location wasn't that pleasant outside. It seemed rushed and larger tables were shared with other guests. Additionally, the tables weren't wiped down after the guests in front of us and the seating just wasn't that inviting.

Very good quality of food, fair prices and cozy atmosphere.

We went there yesterday with no reservations, and luckily we found a table. The food was fantastic, the portions were good, the wine was great, and the service was just excellent! It’s rare in Berlin to have a full experience. Well done guys!

10/10 Ambient, staff, food simply excellent! I'd love to come back!

An absolute must in P-Berg. Great vibe, huge portion of Mussels, friendly staff. In my opinion the best fries in Berlin

Not 5 stars but 10 😄 The restaurant is amazing, we had a great meal with delicious mussels and a beautiful chocolate cake for dessert. Top service, everyone friendly, great prices. We'd love to come back!

Amazing food and super friendly staff with fast service. Love this place

Really great and can only be recommended, luckily we were there on the last day before the renovation. The 4 of us had a lovely evening, the food was fantastic and the wines were also great! Service was also very nice, which is not a given in Berlin. We'd love to come back!

Very small and fine restaurant right on Helmholtzplatz. A must in Berlin for mussel lovers! Very nice service and location. Since it's not very big, a reservation is recommended.

Food was great! The lady didn’t care to serve us, as we had to ask for everything twice. We had to get up and get menus ourselves. We had to catch her to give our orders. And so on. But rest of the team was very helpful. We had a reservation and we didn’t wait. The food was also great. I’ll come back for sure.

A great pairing of extremely delicious mussels and crispy fries, the best I've had in a while, and a glass of cotes du rhone. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect fries and very good food overall.

Food was great, atmosphere was great and service was great. Besides the mussels being very tasty, it has one of the best fries in Berlin!

Absolutely outstanding restaurant. Very small and cozy. The moules are delicious, the fries were one of the best I had in a long while. Good variety of French wines and also picon beer. Staff was very friendly! Would rate it 11/10 and visit anytime again!

Delicious food and lovely staff!

my go to place in berlin - love the atmosphere & the moulles frittes

Was with a group of people and it took a long time to get our table even though we had a reservation. I only ate French fries as I don’t like mussels (team dinner with coworkers), but they were amazing! Super crispy, nice salt and pepper seasoning, and delicious garlic aioli. Tried two different kinds of mussels that coworkers ordered and they were much better than I was expecting. Cocktails and wine were nice. Indoor and outdoor seating. Honestly not great for a group (we were 9) but good for couples or small group of friends. I don’t like mussels but I would eat here again.

A nice concept, mussels are the focus here. The mussels are quickly served on the table with either red sauce or the light house sauce. Good bread and a glass of rosé, a nice thing.

Just super delicious! There are only high tables with bar stools, which isn't particularly comfortable. But the service is top, the wines are very tasty and my favorite are the mussels with the white broth. And I would say they have the tastiest fries in town.

Delicious mussels and fries, and great service. The restaurant has a lovely vibe too. The only issue (to me) were the very high chairs that made it a bit uncomfortable to sit. While you only have this type of seating indoors, outdoors there are a few lower tables and chairs too, and if I had the option to sit there, the experience would have been absolutely perfect. I’ll try asking for it while reserving next time! 🤞

Simple menu, super tasty. The mussels are fresh and in a great wine sauce. The fries are crispy. The white wine was also very good. Overall, a nice restaurant that you should definitely make a reservation at.

OMG. Three different presentations of mussels. Artichoke poutine. Amazing.

Super delicious food, super cozy atmosphere, super friendly staff. Definitely recommend 😊

Well-rounded concept and simply good. Excellent Moules Frites, relaxed and so friendly staff, very good Pinot with it. We'll be coming more often from now on!

Amazing service, beautiful atmosphere and tasty food. Potions are huge and reasonably priced. 11/10
