Peter Schlemihl in Berlin

Excellent food and super friendly service in a cozy atmosphere in one of the most beautiful places in Berlin

Everything was really fabulous. We'll be back :)

Delicious, hearty and fresh food. All at reasonable prices. Would highly recommend, staff also very friendly and welcoming

Food was nice and staff were very generous. Good place to have German dish.

If you want to experience German home cooking in a lively atmosphere, you have to go to Chamissoplatz. I've never made a mistake here, everything tastes very good and the service is friendly and attentive.

Ambience: The restaurant is small and cozy with a pleasant atmosphere and nice music. The cleanliness was apparently good (we can't judge the toilets), but unfortunately there was a smell of cleaning products, which was a bit annoying. It was also cold, which also affected our well-being. Overall rating: three out of five points. Service: The service had positive approaches. We were kindly pointed out a suitable drink and off-menu dishes that we liked. Even without a reservation we got a table straight away. Unfortunately there was a lack of attention during the meal: neither during the starter nor during the main course were we asked whether everything was OK or whether we needed anything. After the meal, the empty plates remained and I had to clear away the starter plate myself to make room for the main course - even though there were enough staff and many tables were still empty. Overall, we rate the service with two out of five points. Food (double weighted): • Appetizers: We had a small appetizer plate with four different salads: lentil salad, coleslaw, cucumber salad and potato salad. Unfortunately, they all lacked some sophistication. The lentil salad could have used some heat, and both the coleslaw and cucumber salad were tasty, but only pickled in acid - a little sweetness would help to balance out the flavor and make it more intense. The potato salad was cold and therefore had little taste; Served lukewarm, perhaps with diced bacon for some crunch and a savory note, it would certainly have been better. The amount of bread was also disappointing: there was only half a slice for two people - even for one person that would be rather limited. Overall, we only give the starters two out of five points. • Main courses: We were happier with the main courses. The cheese spaetzle was excellent and deserves a full five out of five points. A small side dish was three meatballs with mustard. Here, however, the seasoning was rather weak and there was a lack of parsley and salt. The simple mustard from the jar would have seemed more intense and rounded with a mustard sauce with olive oil, honey and lemon juice. The meatballs therefore receive three out of five points. The second main course, a crispy roasted duck with mashed potatoes and salad, was also excellent, and here too we give it a full five out of five points. So the food overall is 3.5 points. Conclusion: We achieved an overall rating of three out of five possible stars. In summary: There is potential for improvement, especially with the appetizers and the service.

Typical Berlin corner pub with a rustic flair... in the middle of Kreuzberg.

Sweet, rustic shop! It's been a long time since I've had such good cheese spaetzle, the last time was in the Alps. The duck is also a dream. Great service, sensational food and great location!

Small Berlin restaurant with good German cuisine and friendly service right on Chamissoplatz. In addition to the Labskaus, we ate Königsberger Klopse and Allgäuer Spätzle. All very tasty.

With the goulash I had 5 small pieces of meat for 17€😒

Absolutely excellent. Lovely food, great staff and very reasonably priced. We always come here when visiting Berlin

Such an awesome location Super cute and a nice little card Fast and friendly service We felt very welcome and ate and drank well, inexpensively and with high quality ❤️

Cosy and intimate with a selected menu of great food and lovely staff!

Nice experience in a very popular place in the neighborhood. Very pleasant, impeccable and professional service. Warm atmosphere but too noisy. Too bad that at 8:00 p.m. there was no more goulash. I nevertheless recommend

awesome restaurant. very nice staff and exquisite food. would definitely come back.

This is my third time at this restaurant, and I can confirm its quality once again. The location in Chamissoplatz, near Bergmannkiez, is beautiful, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu features fix dishes, but they also have specials on certain days. I tried the trout, which was exceptional—tender and aromatic, thanks to a perfect marinade. Due to an allergy, I didn't think dessert would be an option, but the chef creatively offered me an alternative on the spot. This is a clear sign of a motivated and professional kitchen team. Thank you for ending my evening on a sweet note!

Highly recommended. Delicious and nice atmosphere. Good value for money. The spaetzle and dumplings were delicious.

We were there for dinner yesterday, October 7th. Beautiful ambience, very good basil smash and delicious food. Unfortunately, these aspects were not underlined by the friendliness of the service. When asked if she could recommend our order, she shrugged listlessly. The cutlery was carelessly slapped onto the table and we had to pull every answer to our questions out of her. Too bad

Please come to this place. Wow. A diamond place. We were overheard by a local Berliners about restaurants in Berlin being not too German. This place is Germany and the experience, food, service and environment was spot on. Please find this place and enjoy. Thank you to the staff. We will pop back 😊👌🏻🇩🇪

Had to wait at bar for table and barman not good at eye contact to get our drinks. Waitress was fab! She sorted it out. They were very busy! Food traditional and hearty and cosy atmosphere - very tasty goulash.

Great German food in a quiet corner of Berlin, passionate service, great. We were there 2 days ago and, in addition to really authentic cheese spaetzle and goulash, we had really good cava. The apricot dumpling doesn't need to fear any competition either. Great. If we come back to Berlin, we'll be happy to come back if we're looking for German cuisine 👌

The blue cheese spätzle was insanely delicious. We really werent expecting that kind of an amazing taste. Definitely will visit again!

The best German food restaurant in Berlin Excellent atmosphere and good prices

Had spinach dumplings and they were good, but lacked salt. Very problematic that there are no sugar-free drinks, so goodbye diabetics

Best restaurant ever! Great service and delicious food! Spaetzle absolute number 1.

I have only a few words of German, but they were very accommodating. Spätzle was was very good. Sat outside so can't comment on atmosphere, but it is hidden on a pretty, quiet, residential street, so not much car or foot traffic. Service was good and very friendly, and food came reasonably quickly.

Amazing Team and cuisine !!! Thanks for the Martini Coffee shot Ladies 🤩

Excellent local restaurant in the Bergmannkiez area, in front of Chamisso square. Upon arrival, we were immediately sat. Food was very good and soft. Indeed, dishes are healthy and we left full but not feeling heavy. Our waiter was attentive and answered our questions in English (and he replied to us in German when we asked him questions in our poor German, which we appreciated!). Some tables are to share. We were asked whether we were fine with that, which we were. Despite we ended up sharing a table with a couple, the distance is enough to keep one's conversation without the sensation of being sat with the other two. Space outside is very nice too, especially in these summer days. We were able to pay by card, which is not granted in Berlin. I definitely recommend it!

One of the best Restaurants I Visited since a long time, and let me tell you, I visit a lot of restaurants.

Very tasty food and nice service. I can highly recommend the spinach dumplings!

Wonderful, super tasty restaurant, with a pleasant atmosphere! Absolute recommendation!!!

A great restaurant with a great atmosphere. The price-performance ratio is right and I would like to come back.

Very tasty German food! Labskaus is good choice. Nice terrace in summer.

The goulash was very tasty but the spaetzle didn't taste like anything for all three of us. Staff friendly but very slow. The ambience is nice but the toilets urgently need a thorough cleaning. We were there at 5 p.m. when it opened, so you expect cleanliness. the doors are dirty and the toilet is worn out.

Fantastic restaurant in an equally lovely neighbourhood. We had such a nice dinner here and the wait staff were absolutely a delight. Friendly, helpful and always smiling. Only one comment I have is about my spinach "dumpling" it was more like a "cake." It was delicious but way too dense and hearty than what i imagine a regular dumpling. It was very filling and I had a hard time finishing it. I had a little taste of a the gulash and it was simply divine. Will definitely come back again.

Lovely place! Traditional German food, decent portions and prices. I had a fish special and it was very lemony and delicious.

The noise in the restaurant was definitely too much for me

Normally I get schnitzel whenever possible because that's my favorite German dish, but I must say, the spätzle here is giving that a run for its money! We biked here after a sunny afternoon at Tempelhofer Feld and needed some nourishment. The waitress was really nice and gave us a spot by the window to cool down. She helped us with suggestions and questions and we quickly had drinks and meals in front of us. And wow, everything was fantastic. The goulash and the spätzle were both some of the best I've tried. The goulash melts in your mouth and the spätzle is perfectly cooked and prepared with such great pairings (even the gorgonzola, which I don't normally like a lot of!). It's a little pricier than a standard traditional German spot off the beaten path, but it's definitely worth it for the quality of the food. We were thoroughly impressed with the whole experience. I wish it were a little closer to home because I want to come back here and try everything on the menu!

Nice restaurant with very good food. To be honest, I find a time slot of 1 3/4 hours difficult, especially if you wait a long time. We had made a reservation for 5:15 p.m. and were able to eat the (very good) main courses at 6:15 p.m. We were directed to the bar at 7 p.m. sharp. That's a real turn-off, sorry. Everything was otherwise very fine. The trout was delicious, there was no space and an extra plate for the bones. Sauerkraut and Kassler are great. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the apricot dumpling, too mushy, not enough apricots, we couldn't really find them.

Recommended by a local and then checked the reviews which were outstanding and not wrong! Shared the Gulach with beef and spatzle (sooo tender and flavorful and came with some lingonberry on the side so it was savory and sweet) and this vegan fried oyster mushroom dish with potato salad (sooo crispy light and again so much flavor!). Highly recommend and definitely want to come back to try more of the menu.

The service was very nice and accommodating, unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing, the salads were a bit bland and the cheese spaetzle looked good, but wasn't a hit under a pile of poorly fried onions. Especially since I don't find the prices particularly cheap for Kreuzberg standards.

Very tasty food, a modern interpretation of German cuisine with fresh ingredients. I always enjoy coming here. The staff is super friendly, the price is good and the atmosphere is cozy. Be sure to reserve if you want to sit inside - it's easy to do online. Absolute recommendation!

Very cozy restaurant with a good atmosphere, great guests and a beautiful outdoor area with evening sun. Small but very nice card. I always enjoy coming here :)

The cute ambience, the funny service and the wonderfully relaxed audience were not matched by the daily special. Nevertheless: here’s to something new!

Very nice little restaurant with excellent food and very attentive service - German food reinterpreted and of very good quality.

The food was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it. The staff was really nice and the restaurant was cozy. I will definitely come back!

Premier restaurant à Berlin et nous avons été ravis. Service souriant et efficace. Nous avons pris seulement les plats principaux car c’était très copieux et des desserts. Tout semble fait maison. Le boudin purée était délicieux. Le poulet vegan fait avec des champignons était bluffant (mais un peu gras). On pensait vraiment que c’était du poulet au départ ! Et les spätzels était très bons également. Le dessert à la vanille et aux fruits rouges ainsi que celui aux abricots (chauds) et sa crème complétaient bien ce délicieux repas. Enfin le vin au verre des Pouilles (primitivo) était très bon. 77 euros à trois avec le pourboire était tes raisonnable. Pensez a réserver car c’était complet.

Fantastic cozy restaurant with good German food! And above all, incredible atmosphere. The main course was incredible, the dessert just okay. But would love to go here again!

Such great atmosphere and also cosy. The food is also amazing. We only a start and two mains but those were enough.

amazing food and vibes. love the local german rendition of food here and it is affordable. we had the spatzle. situated in a quaint and pretty neighbourhood. will visit again!

Super delicious food! Dog friendly! Well attended - reservations recommended

I loved it. A small cosy restaurant with tasty fress food.

Very cosy and inexpensive gem in the Bergmannkiez. Keep recommending it to friends who are up for good food and a wonderful time. I always come back for the Spinatknödel! ☺️

extremely delicious german food, the loveliest staff and such a great atmosphere! can’t wait to go back next time I’m in Berlin

This is a German restaurant that is always surprisingly delicious. I always recommend this place to my friends whenever they visit Berlin. This is my fourth visit, and this restaurant always exceeds my expectations. (The photo is from last summer :) )

A great traditional local German restaurant in a lovely part of Kreuzberg. Portions are huge, service super friendly and the menu peppered with a few unexpected local dishes along side classic German favourites. Definitely book and make a visit!

A wonderful place with delicious food. “Heaven and Earth” was a poem! A very good black pudding, plus three roasted slices of black pudding and always amazing: how delicious and rich in nuances mashed potatoes can be when they are well made.

Very tasty food and very friendly service. Price performance is very good. Highly recommended but it is better to reserve in advance.

The service was absolutely terrible. Aggressive, mean and rude waitress who made our night a disaster and I'm not dramatizing, that was unimaginably bad.

Super nice service, decent prices and great atmosphere. Best!

Very good dishes. Less touristy. Nice and very kind staff.

Absolutely recommended and totally quaint. It would be good to make a reservation because it is very popular. Dishes are super tasty...we'll be back 😉

An absolute gem of the local area. We were recommended to eat here from our Airbnb host and thank goodness we took him up on it. You definitely need to book before coming but you'll be greeted to an extremely cosy dining experience. Amazing food, fantastic service and at an affordable price. This is simply a must try if you are in the Kreuzberg area of Berlin.

A wonderful place! Great food! Also very friendly service and harmonious interior! To feel good.

Friendly place and delicious food - even if I wished there had been apples in “Heaven and Earth”.

The food here is absolutely excellent; it is very rare to find this quality. Unfortunately, the service this evening was a total failure, rarely experienced.

A beautiful little restaurant where you can experience very friendly and courteous service and enjoy delicious, authentic cuisine. The homemade spaetzle is great and the goulsch is delicious.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food. It was very well attended, so unfortunately we actually had to leave after the 2 hours we had booked.

Great shop for exiled South Germans. Quaint and rustic. Highly recommended for hearty food! Note to my fellow southern Germans: it's great, but it doesn't taste the same as in Freiburg, Ulm or Rosenheim!

Very cool and delicious restaurant. Went there with foreigner friends so we could have German food and it was a nice experience. The staff were very nice, the food plates were well served and the taste, amazing. They have vegetarian options from the traditional plates and that is great for those wanting to try. I recommend booking the table before, since the restaurant is always with guests! The price is also worth and not super expensive for good food, service and environment.

Food was poor quality and objectively expensive. We couldn't finish our dishes. Service was slightly rude. Do not recommend.

Tasty, friendly and fast. Prices okay.

Delicious spaetzle and relaxed service! Cohesive atmosphere and good wine.

Wonderful, small restaurant in Kreuzberg, where southern German, northern German and old Berlin cuisine come together very tastefully. 👏🏽 Value is placed on regional, seasonal products and our own preparation... and because even the spaetzle is homemade, we have fair prices (+ many payment options). 👌🏽 Presenting the menus as old typewriter-printed dictation books is of course extra original and contributes to the cozy, authentic flair of the restaurant. 😄 Everyone is very nice, communicative and knows their craft. It would really be a full 5 stars if accessibility wasn't a given here either (as in many Berlin addresses). 🤷🏽‍♀️ This might be solved in the summer when you can sit outside.

Extraordinary German classics, wonderfully prepared. Small, good cocktail menu. Fast, friendly service. Unfortunately, it's difficult to do anything spontaneously. You should avoid “arriving” by car because of “resident parking”. Recommendation!

We came without a reservation. The service was super friendly and made it possible for us to get a seat even though it was completely full. The atmosphere is very cozy and rustic. The food was delicious and exceeded all expectations. We'll come back next time we visit Berlin 😊

Very tasty food and very attentive and super friendly service.

Beautiful place, good food and nice staff!

Meal with friends. We all had the cheese spaetzle and enjoyed ourselves. The team in the room is very kind and attentive. Payment by card possible. Small downside, the place is a little noisy.

Everything is more than good! Super delicious food & nice staff! :-)))

Food was the best yet I've eaten in Germany. Only complaint is that the plates could be warmed before plating - helps to keep the dish warm and arromatic.

Our evening at Peter Schlemihl was excellent! The atmosphere, the service and the food were perfectly balanced. The small but nice menu helps you make a decision and the weekly dish (this time lamb shank with mashed potatoes and carrots) is absolutely delicious! Happy to come back!

Porzioni abbondanti persone cortesi

Lecker und gemütlich unkonventionelles Restaurant

Peter rulez. Food not life changing, but very solid. price point, ambiance are great. All together, great restaurant. (have only had the the normal kase spatzle and the gorgonzola spatzle).

Sehr, sehr charmantes Lokal mit leckerem Essen und freundlichen, aufmerksamen Mitarbeitern. Liebs!

Auch für das kleine Abendessen sehr zu empfehlen, alles frisch, alles lecker.

Verstehe nicht, warum so hohe Bewertungen aufgerufen werden. Das Boeuf Bourgoigne war allenfalls brauchbar. Es fehlte Zwiebeln, Möhren und der Rotwein in der Zubereitung. Das Sauerkraut der Vorspeise war kaum durchgegoren, Kartoffelsalat, Gurkensalat Standard langweilig. Service gut

Die Freitagsforelle ist genial!

Hier gibt es sehr gutes Essen in gemütlicher Kiezatmosphäre. Die Karte ist klein aber fein und es gibt meist ein leckers Tagesessen. Das Bier vom Fass ist frisch und lecker. DIe Preise sind für die hohe Qualität mehr als fair. Der Service ist sehr freudlich und kompetent. Die Marillenknödel sind der Knaller. Die besten die ich jeh gegessen habe. Und ich war schon dutzende Male in den Alpen unterwegs. Unbedingt probieren!!! Ein Juwel abseits der Touristenströme des Bergmannkiezs am schönen Chamissoplatz.

Wir waren wegen meines Geburtstags im Schlemihl essen da ich mich schon seit längerem auf sie dortigen Käsespätzle gefreut hatte. Dann gab es aber so ein super klingendes Hauptgericht "Wildschweingulasch mit Spätzle und Salat". Leider muss ich aber sagen, dass ich mir hier mehr davon erhofft hatte. 1) Leider war es nicht sehr wildlastig im Geschmack, hätte auch Rind sein können. 😳 2) Leider war es eher eine Portion Salat mit Spätzle und Gulasch wenn man sich die Mengenverhältnisse anschaut. Ich hatte eher an Salat als Beilage gedacht. Geschmacklich war alles dennoch sehr lecker. Daher nur 1* Abzug.

Good food and friendly atmosphere. One of the best affordable restaurants in Berlin and one that has a magic touch to it.

Freundlicher Service und gutes Essen. Angebot an vegetarischen Produkten für mich ausreichend vorhanden. Die Weinkarte ist etwas klein. Aber eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre.

Ein ganz toller Ort! Die Bedienung war super freundlich und so gut gelaunt, das Essen absolut köstlich (wir hatten Labskaus und Allgäuer Spätzle), das war definitiv nicht mein letzter Besuch, kann das Peter Schlemihl nur empfehlen!!!

In einem Wort zusammengefasst: TOP Wir waren voll des Lobes. So ein leckeres Essen und dann noch zu diesen Preisen hatten wir schon ewig nicht mehr. Großes Lob an die Küche. Wir waren im Zuge eines Konzerts in der Nähe, hatten vorher reserviert (Was durchaus Sinn gemacht hatte, denn es wurde gut voll und das an einem Montag!) kommen sehr gerne wieder und sind begeistert. Ganz kleiner Hinweis: Wenn es voll ist, ist es sehr laut und eine Unterhaltung schwierig ;-).

Tout simplement une adresse incroyable! L’ambiance est chaleureuse et les repas sont délicieux pour un excellent rapport qualité/prix

What a hidden gem! Great experience in terms of food, price, and atmosphere

La comida estuvo deliciosa, el ambiente muy ameno y el personal muy agradable.

One of our favourite restaurants in Berlin. Spaetzle like my Great Grandmother would make.

Sehr schönes Ambiente mit sehr freundlicher Bedienung und sehr leckerem Essen 😋
