Muschelbar in Berlin

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

I just love it... the staff is sooo great and the mussels are arrrr ❤️ I think that says it all 🤗❤️

Small but nice! Very nice and forthcoming service! Gladly again.

I was so impressed! The food here was fresh, simple ingredients yet so complex in taste. The mussels were amazing but the fries were without a doubt the best i have ever eaten - paired with sea salt they really complement the oceanic taste of the mussels. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I have nothing bad to say about this place. You do need a reservation though and while the pricepoint may be a bit higher, it was totally fair for the amount and quality of the food. In love !

A great shop, perfect shells. It is our restaurant to celebrate successes and birthdays.

If you love mussels, this is the right place for you. A great little restaurant with excellent service. The prices are completely reasonable and the mussels are super tasty. It is advisable to reserve in advance and then you have a time slot of 90 minutes. That wasn't our last visit to the mussel bar! Top!!!

Very tasty food and wine. A reservation is recommended

Food, drinks and service were perfect! A very successful evening! We will be back! Thanks!

Outstanding service and food quality!!!

Great place to have a cosy evening and food was really good, prices too

Very nice staff, super delicious food!!! I can only recommend! Again and again!

After browsing places in Berlin that serve Moules Frites I told my boyfriend about this specific place which resulted in him taking me here for our anniversary and let me tell you, it was the best decision ever! I spend my summers in the South of France eating fresh Moules Frites and this place could EASILY compete with the quality I'm used to and was so deeply craving. The price/performance ratio is incredible, some of the best fries I've had, the homemade dip is amazing and the mussles are to die for. The portion is huge, no empties or closed shells and the meat is so so tender and flavorful. The elderflower limo as well as the Picon Bière are so tasty. Besides the amazing food the ambiance was so so incredibly lovely! Made you feel like you were in a little parisian bistro, it's truly the perfect mix between fancy but still down-to-earth. The interior is so beautiful and aesthetic. We had a reservation and sat right at the bar which was fun! Next time I'd definitely try and reserve the table in the open window! The outside seating was lovely as well, especially the two tiny gingham tablecloth-covered tables next to the tree! Oh and not to forget— service was great and everyone is really friendly! Will definitely come here again and take my mum here as well when she comes to visit! 1000/10 would recommend :)

Loved everything here! The beer "with Schuss" is a winner, as are the mussels with french fries. Will definitely come here again😍

The two of us went there spontaneously, but it is recommended to make a reservation. The staff was so kind and kept the table free when we came back after half an hour. We received a warm welcome and the atmosphere was also very inviting. We had the Moules Frites in red stock and a la Maison. The mussels tasted fresh and were clean. Perfectly crispy fries! The selection of drinks was also good. Everything was just right. Overall, I can only warmly recommend the restaurant. The concept is simple, simply good! And the service, very friendly ;)

A really great service, personable boss and good atmosphere. I think this concept is great! Thanks to you mussel bar team. See you soon

A restaurant with a very good atmosphere, nice staff, delicious wines, divine mussels and fries.

A clear concept implemented to perfection. The Muschelbar is a small restaurant with a very simple menu: There are moules frites (optionally with giant beans instead of French fries) in white or red stock. First of all, the service: the service was uncomplicated, very friendly and with perfect timing. It doesn't get any better. Ambiance: The mussel bar immediately creates an ambience that makes you feel good and is stylish at the same time. The open kitchen completes the picture. You feel like you're in a restaurant that's about to serve you the best moules frites. And with that, food & drink: It was pure joy. The mussels are fresh, clean and taste great. The broth demands to be spooned out, it is that good. To describe the fries as crispy would be an understatement. The wine served in our case (from the Luberon) fits perfectly, the final espresso is piping hot and a pleasure. Here a fairly simple concept is executed to perfection and every detail fits. Our visit couldn't have been improved at any point - cheers, dear mussel bar!

Cosy place for a nice Mussel meal! The portions are quite large and food is tasty. The fries were crispy too and the dip fit well. Dessert left a bit to be desired though.

Nice, charming little shop, more of a bistro character. Few but good dishes on the menu. Great service! Be sure to reserve seats in advance.

Sensational moules frites in a gentle, velvety-tasting broth, great service (friendly, attentive), very nice ambience and truly cozy. We are and were more than thrilled!!!

Really really excellent! A bit tight but the food makes up for it 😉

Great service, which is usually hard to find in Berlin! The food is delicious too! To recommend!

Great preparation. Taste of the sauces was great.

Great service and excellent mussels.

Best Moules Frites, authentic and good. Cozy, but very narrow and small, didn't bother me personally. Best aperitif for me is the Celery Spritz 💕

Cute and cozy restaurant for moules frites in Prenzlauer Berg. Super friendly staff, good food, nice drinks.

The fries alone are worth coming for!

Excellent moulles frites! Small note: The girls who had the table before us pretended to ignore us and overstayed by 15 minutes. I wish the staff would be more proactive about these things.

Moules frites was okay. I was expecting better sauces since it is the main thing. The recipe tasted more German than French. I‘d recommend the classic one over the white sauce. The fries were very good. And the service was friendly. I‘m glad I tried here, but I still can‘t say that its possible to get good mussels in sauce in Berlin.

Wer Muscheln mag, findet sie hier perfekt zubereitet.

Super lecker, und wunderschön eingerichtet! Tolles und freundliches Personal!

Pommes wirklich lit. Muscheln haben so geschmeckt wie sie sollten. Ambiente wenig einladend und gemütlich. Kann man machen - muss man aber nicht.

Beste Muscheln!! Perdekt gekühlter Weißwein. Immer Ein Genuss und ganz klare Empfehlung.. 😎

Very busy spot. Excellent fries and mussels.

Delicious and authentic! Great seafood opinion in Berlin and the service is wonderful.

Bester Service (charmant, schnell und erfahren), bestes Essen und beste Atmosphäre.

Me (35) and my wife (31) came here for a nice dinner. We really enjoyed our time in this cute place. The food was really delicious and the fries were the best I have had in Berlin so far (I have lived here for seven years). The waitress was super nice and very attentive. I think this is a great place for a nice dinner with a friend or your partner. Unfortunately, the place is quite small and it is packed (reservation required). Therefore it is quite noisy. Just move to one of the many fancy bars nearby after enjoying the delicious food here.

Als Franzose kann ich nur sagen: Chapeau! Muscheln sind top und hier gibts definitiv die besten Pommes in ganz Berlin! Preise sind in Ordnung. Komme gerne wieder🙌🏼

Super Platz, hat uns allen gefallen. Leckere Muscheln, Pommes und Getränke. Kleine Karte und etwas eng drin, was aber nicht stört.

this is a really nice place, they do exactly one thing and do it really well: there are not too many places like that in the city. the stuff is very friendly and professional and we felt very welcomed. the place is very full so just not to risk it reserve a table. worth the drive.

Einfach lecker in einem kleinen feinen Laden

Very good service small restaurant so not that many seating options and the food was delicious loved the fries very crispy!

Bella esperienza, buono il cibo, le patatine fritte non troppo. Accogliente il personale. Meglio prenotare. Locale molto affollato.
