Restaurant El Puerto in Potsdam

Centrally located location, the friendliness of the staff leaves something to be desired. It's a shame...

Very nice service, great house wine and the Christmas card is highly recommended. Parking is possible free of charge behind the restaurant ✌️

Just stop by and enjoy 🤗. Spanish cuisine at a high level and very good service and a very good ambience! 100% recommendation...if you're lucky enough to get a Sunday brunch, highly recommended!!!

We had dinner here today. I really didn't like it at all and that surprises me because I'm really not picky. But the sauce with the pasta just tasted strange... the salmon from my companion just tasted like oil. In my experience, you have a 50/50 chance of being served something tasty or something absolutely not tasty...

Nice atmosphere for eating and drinking. The little break in the evening right by the water is really fun here and a lot of effort is put into giving the guest a nice evening.

Very friendly staff, the food was also very tasty and the ambience was great. We'd love to come back.

Been back there for years. The quality of the tapas is still simply top, everything was extremely tasty and delicious. The prices are completely reasonable. Service also 10/10, visiting with a dog is no problem. I'll be back soon!

We went to El Puerto for brunch. The selection was very extensive and the quality was really very good. This has become rare in Potsdam. What can be improved there? Maybe introduce more Sundays a year so that brunch is served more often? In any case, we would love to come back. Kudos also to the attentive service!

Brunch on Sunday is highly recommended!

After a great experience with my granddaughter, we wanted to crown the day in their restaurant (1 p.m.). However, we were treated by the seat assignor in a way that I have never experienced before. With the words “You are sitting here, or nowhere, anywhere.” I was stunned and left the restaurant. Potsdam offers many other great options for great dining.

Very nice and attentive service. And the tapas are great. 2 to 3 different ones are more than enough and they are really really good. And all of this in an excursion restaurant right on the Potsdam steamboat pier where you wouldn't actually expect something like that. But great! Went there again today. Everything is still the same as before: highly recommended!

Very good food, the service staff are awesome, nice, funny and accommodating. We'd love to come back.

Wir waren als größere Gruppe (13 Personen) zum Abendessen zu gast. Für uns wurde eine Tafel am Fenster gestellt. Leider etwas zu dicht an einer stattlichen Palme. Das Essen war gut, die Bedienung gut. Auch das einzelne Bezahlen hat super geklappt. War ein schöner Abend.

Wie immer ein gelungener Abend und das Essen war top. Es waren alle Kollegen super zufrieden. Die Tapas waren sehr lecker und auch die anderen Speisen waren super.

Went to brunch for the first time today because the service was ok, the selection could have been bigger then the waffle cups for jam etc. were missing and the warm portions from 11 a.m. onwards were just lukewarm, actually they should have been at least 65 degrees and the tables were pretty close together, well we won't go there anymore

Prices that bring tears to your eyes. Food OK, but not exceptional and not particularly good either. Few vegetarian dishes. For these prices I would expect more.

My girlfriend and I were really looking forward to this restaurant. But unfortunately we hoped for more. These tapas weren't really that special, nor were the olives...(way too salted)! The waiter was very nice and the ambience was quite nice. That's why there are only 4 stars. Many kind regards, Sonja-M.

A nice central location. The cake with coffee was tasty but not outstanding. Points deducted also due to the somewhat cool atmosphere. The service was very good and courteous.

Solid house, very clean and friendly staff.

As a pregnant woman about to give birth, you are not allowed to go to the toilet if you are not a guest but are directed to a nearby public toilet. It's a shame, because we always enjoyed eating there and even held our wedding dinner there. But if you treat people like that, we won't go there anymore.

Wir waren nach unserem Museumsbesuch hier. Köstliche Tapas, mit Empfehlung der Bestellmenge, sehr freundliche Bedienung, heller Raum trotz Regenwetter, einfach schön

Very nice staff, delicious food. Price performance excellent. Always my pleasure.

Very friendly staff, not a long wait for the food to arrive. The food was delicious and I would Visit this restaurant again and again and recommend it to others.

Hello everyone, you could actually give 5 stars, but how should I rate the others that might be even better? So we sat outside and were assigned a table that we were allowed to choose. The food came quickly and was very tasty. The staff is friendly and quick. Thank you for that! Thanks to the tappas and normal dishes, there is something for every appetite, thank you and see you soon

Yummy ! I love tapas and love sitting by the water in summer and even in winter, it's just beautiful there. I like being there

Everything is great! A very successful last day of summer on the water with very good food, top service and a beautiful view! Highly recommended!

Five stars PLUS, PLUS, PLUS, PLUS, PLUS.......;-) ;-) ;-)!!!!

Möglicherweise ist dieses Restaurant direkt an den Anlegestellen von Ausflugsdampfern zu günstig gelegen, so dass die Geschäftsführung meint, die Servicequalität vernachlässigen zu können. Während der einweisende Mitarbeiter zuvorkommend auftrat, war die uns bedienende Servicekraft eine echte Katastrophe. Dass sich Kellner im Gespräch mit Kollegen laut hörbar über anwesende Gäste herablassend den Mund zerreißen, habe ich noch nie erlebt. Insofern war dieser Restaurantbesuch ein aufschlussreiches Novum - im Gegensatz zu dem mittelmäßigen Essen, das dem Vergleich mit kulinarischen Erlebnissen im Spanien-Urlaub in keiner Weise standhält.

I am very impressed by the ambience. The service is very attentive, not intrusive or fake polite... we were looked after very warmly. The drinks menu is very extensive. The tapas menu caters for all tastes and is also very diverse. The portions are large enough to fill you up even if you're a little hungry. Especially good if you have children with you. The main courses offer enough choice. We really enjoyed both the tapas and the main courses. I would have tried more if my stomach hadn't insisted on dessert. Here too you are spoiled for choice. We were pleasantly surprised by everything. The prices are reasonable. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants from today!

Essen und Service richtig gut, sind mit guter Laune gekommen und mit sehr guter Laune wieder gegangen👍 Lammrücken und Rumpsteak beides top

The family met for ice cream together at El Puerto on the occasion of our daughter's 18th birthday. Everyone orders an ice cream sundae and I was again “lucky” to get my spaghetti ice cream 10 minutes later. Then the spaghetti ice cream plate came and I was shocked, I couldn't make any sound. But even my wife, who doesn't say anything else, objected to this spaghetti sundae. There was no spaghetti ice cream to be seen because it had completely melted and it was just a lump of something with cream. So for me it's an optical disaster for €9.90. I've never had a spaghetti sundae like this before. I then got a new spaghetti sundae that was the equivalent of a children's sundae. So I'm done with the shop, as a Potsdamer I can confirm that there are far better restaurants in Potsdam.

Clear recommendation, great food, super nice staff.

Cream of chanterelle soup was unfortunately cold and felt thawed. Nice atmosphere, unfortunately the food is the main reason for being here, hence only 3 stars.

I don't know about food, we just had something to drink. Great service, nice staff, great location and chic ambience. And the sorbet shake is simply brilliant. We'll definitely come again!

I just landed here after a long search for a good restaurant. All I can say is extremely tasty cuisine, super friendly service and a nice place to relax. Please keep it up 🙏

Good food with a focus on Spanish. Unfortunately a bit expensive, but the location of the restaurant is great.

Great menu - varied, tasty, good portions..., large selection of tappas.

Conditions, ambience and food were first class.

First we stood at the front for a long time until the young lady who was responsible for assigning tables came. Then we had to wait again until we got a menu. After what felt like an eternity someone came to order. We actually had enough time to grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case given the pace of the whole procedure. We had something to drink and had to get to the ship. Next door was the same. They had ordered and would then have to leave as the ship was coming. Some of the staff weren't friendly and didn't seem friendly to each other either. Never been served so poorly.

Nice restaurant at the harbor. Very nice staff. Can recommend.

Very nice restaurant, very nice, friendly and competent staff. Great food. We ate tapas warm and cold, very tasty 😋

An der Dampferanlegestelle, mit Blick aufs Wasser und super Atmosphäre. Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.Am besten vorab einen Tisch bestellen, dann brauch man nicht warten.

Really nice atmosphere under palm trees and by the water. You will be warmly welcomed and served quickly, depending on the number of visitors. It's a big credit to the staff that they know the menu inside out and are very knowledgeable about the dishes. The food comes quickly, is very tasty and in generous portions.

Food ok. The tapas looked better. Prices are still too expensive even for the long term.

Very friendly service 👍 The food was excellent and at the end the coffee with a shot... simply brilliant

Although we didn't reserve, we got a table for 5 people (it was very busy). Very nice, funny waiter, food was very good as always. We'd love to come back.

We were completely exhausted after a long walk through Potsdam and needed to rest. The city is beautiful, great buildings, clean streets. With a view of the Havel and the many steamers (city tours) we had a good time. Relax your feet and eat a large ice cream sundae with strawberries and cream on top 🍨. I will definitely go there again, it's worth it 🏰

Our visit 8/10/24 Very friendly service, the ambience inside is a little nicer than outside. The food was on the table in a jiffy, so we had the impression that it was processed as quickly as possible. However, price and quality do not match. Sometimes too oily/greasy and garlic-heavy, the salmon with spinach was very boring. We found 2 drinks, 4 tapas 55,- plus tip too expensive.

Nice restaurant where you are also welcome if you just want to have a drink, as we didn't have much time left before our excursion ship left. The service was very friendly and quick. The cocktails were very good. The food from our table neighbors looked very appetizing. Next time we'll take more time.🙂

The food was very tasty 😋 and we liked the service, always happy.

A great restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The service is very nice and attentive. A small, fine menu. Definitely recommended.

Very nice here, staff very friendly and funny too, I think it's great

Very nice staff, you are seated, but you also get a table straight away. High prices for food and drinks but very good cuisine. The large selection of tapas is recommended.

The food has always been good and of course the service too. Gladly again.

Excellent restaurant right on the water! Excellent food and service. We felt like we were on vacation

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and positive. A reservation for dinner in the evening seems sensible to me.

Well, it was placed outside on the patio. Tables and chairs not clean. Only cleaned of bird droppings after request. Food was tasty and sufficient. Drinks completely overpriced.😒

Sometimes like this and sometimes like that 🤷‍♂️ We've eaten here several times with friends and overall we felt comfortable! But the quality and taste of the food varies! From super tasty to well, everything was there. More continuity would be desirable! Because the chefs have proven that they can do it! We would still like to come back

Ambience ok Cocktails warm Waiting time long

It was really nice but super expensive for a café bistro... Two bowls, 2 seltzers, 2 small beers, two mini roses 80 euros, that's tough. But it was still nice

The tapas were, as always, a dream. We had a very friendly and funny waiter. Would love to come back.

Friendly waiter, delicious salad, the portion was very large, chicken in salad was very tasty 😊

I had reserved a table for Sunday with a direct view of the Havel. I can only say. Great table, great service and super delicious food. We will be back.

Very tasty and very friendly service

Great food, fast and courteous service. Gladly again!

We spent part of our team day here today and enjoyed great service and fantastic food at fair prices in a great atmosphere. Absolute recommendation.

It is an attempt at absolutely mediocre Spanish food and, on top of that, very expensive. I don't recommend it at all!!

Good cuisine, a little more expensive. But good quality

We ate there on June 29, 24. I had reserved the table about 4 weeks in advance and it worked really well. We sat wonderfully in the shade on the spacious terrace in the heat. We were very impressed by the great service, the waitress was super attentive and friendly and gave us good advice, but also the delicious food. thanks for that If we are in Potsdam again we will come back. Very clear recommendation

The restaurant is great, a huge selection of great and very tasty dishes as well as drinks and the service is very friendly and accommodating. I can only recommend it to everyone

Very, very good service, the food came quickly and the quality was great. Happy to come back!

Great service and friendly staff!

Absolutely top friendly staff who are happy to go the extra mile. Food top class. Gladly again at any time.

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere. Very attentive service.

Great selection of tapas, very tasty, attractively prepared and served. Nice service and nice location. I'll definitely come back.

Ate a really delicious risotto. Great non-alcoholic cocktails. Great service. I'd love to come back.

Very nice restaurant. A beautiful view of the harbor from the terrace. Service very friendly. Hardly any waiting time.

Mittagessen im El Puerto, An der langen Brücke in Potsdam. Rigatoni mit Rinderfiletstreifen, Dijonsenfsoße und Zuckerschoten: Der Wahnsinn! Pasta von perfekter Konsistenz, Filet saftig mit Röstaromen, Zuckerschoten knackig. Die Soße eine Offenbarung. Perfektes Mundgefühl mit Senfkörnern und rotem Pfeffer, süßsauer und leicht spicy. Akzeptabler Preis. Wenn das Standardessen ist: Chapeau!!! Der Service ist aufmerksam und unaufdringlich. Gebt uns mehr davon...

The starters were good. Main courses were more bad than good. We had pre-ordered for 30 people and after 1.5 hours we just managed to get on the ship in front of the door...The advantage was that the bus parking lot was nearby...

Great atmosphere and very nice staff. The food was perfect, you have a beautiful view 👍 always happy

The food and ambience remain good, but the restaurant's latest policy includes using first name names to all guests and pushy, less-than-discreet wait staff.

Wonderful food in a very nice atmosphere. The price is a bit more expensive but worth every cent. Impeccable taste experience. Very courteous staff.

Great place and best service! Very authentic food

Great food, great and very nice service, great location even in rain or April weather in June. Like holiday!

A nice surprise in the afternoon/evening - practically right on the water, delicious tapas and really good service! And great desserts too - highly recommended in our opinion and a nice end to our day in Potsdam!

It's a Potsdam restaurant that we could use more of

Top restaurant, great food and very friendly staff 🙂👍👍👍

As always, the food was good and plentiful, nice atmosphere right at the harbor of the White Fleet and very friendly staff!!

Welcoming restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff. The price-performance ratio is right. I will gladly come again.

There were two of us there. The service was friendly. The food wasn't cheap, but not too expensive either. We enjoyed it very much. I would like to come again.

My rating has changed again. After avoiding the restaurant for a long time because of the poor service, I finally went there again. The service has changed very positively. The menu is still very interesting, even if the prices have increased significantly.

Very good food and friendly staff

Located directly on the mooring with a view of the Havel.

Very nicely located bistro on the water. Nice, competent service. Will come back

Today, May 27th, 2023, we stopped by spontaneously for lunch with a friend. Get a shady spot on the terrace. The very nice and friendly service arrived quickly. My meal (salad with goat cheese for €17.90) was extremely tasty. Everything was served fresh, there were so many things on my plate - it tasted very good. There was also bread and aioli from the house. Yes, the Very Tasty Salad isn't exactly cheap, but after all, you don't go to the restaurant every day. Coffee tastes good and you get a view of the water for free.

Nice atmosphere. Food selection could be optimized.

El Puerto! The gateway to a particularly culinary journey. There were three of us at El Puerto, we ordered tapas, brandy, goat cheese, Spanish beer, and fish. (I'll leave out the asparagus, even though the ham was delicious). The food was super fresh and each dish was a flavor bomb in itself. The tapas use a lot of garlic, which really enhances the whole thing. I think next time we will cover the whole table with tapas. The brandy is an absolute recommendation! You have to try it, I was given a special bottle to photograph. The beer tastes mild, but is very refreshing and goes well with the food. We were all really excited and the staff was very accommodating and fun for everyone. We will be back! And if you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?

Very tasty food in 2022 and now in 2024 we were there when visiting Potsdam. We enjoyed it every time and it was very important for us to have a disabled-friendly toilet. Nicely located again and a good start or end point. Unfortunately we had to skip the ice cream sundaes, but of course we heard "ahs" and "ohs" for the great creations.

I was there for lunch with my girlfriend on April 30, 2024. We both ate pasta. Both dishes tasted very bland. We were looking forward to the food because of the good reviews, but unfortunately we were disappointed. However, the ambience inside and outside is very nice.

Very bad, salads were unwashed and without sauce, no love, just nice ambience.
