Restaurant Pasternak in Berlin

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Das Essen ist qualitativ hochwertig und lecker, leider etwas zu sehr an den deutschen Geschmack angepasst worden. Barzahlung nicht möglich.

Bijzonder sfeervol restaurant met prettige bediening en fantastisch lekker eten. We wisten niet goed wat ons te wachten stond, kenden de Russische keuken niet. We dronken wijnen uit Georgië, eveneens verrassend goed! En dat voor redelijke prijzen.

Very good atmosphere! excellent service and tasty food. Thank you Stas!

Gran lugar con música de piano en vivo. Comida muy deliciosa. Ambiente acogedor, con la sensación de comer en la sala de estar de una familia.

Food was good, but the portion could have been a bit larger. Service could also be a little friendlier.

The food was particularly great, my first time eating Russian food - definitely a success! In addition to the antique furnished ambience, the waiters are very friendly and attentive (our waiter was Dimitri). Highly recommended to everyone!

Plein à craquer mais l’accueil est bon. Des plats très bien servis et excellents j’avais pris un plat végétarien dont je ne me souviens plus du nom qui était très copieux. La viande des autres plats était extra tendres. Une pavlova à tomber. Un vin israélien très bon. Ce qui était moins plaisant c’est que les clients parlaient fort à cause du piano.

Den ene stjerne som skulle gives - må gå til den drinks som vi bestilte som starter!!! ALT andet var under AL kritik og var medvirkende til at vores nytårsaften, blev en del anderledes end de høje forventninger, vi havde bygget op til denne aften! Vi havde for måneder siden bestilt bord til nytårsaften, med valgt nytårs menu “pradznik”. Vi havde fået fin bekræftelse på bord til 19.30 og bekræftelse af menu til 4 personer! SÅ skuffelsen var STOR, da vi festligt udklædt ankom og konstaterede at restauranten lukkede 21.00 uden vi vidste herom!? Skuffelsen blev værre, da tjeneren ikke helt vidste at vi havde bestilt “pradznik” middag og ville konferere med køkkenet! Efterfølgende vendte hun tilbage, med ærgerlige og virkelige skuffe de besked om, at vi desværre var nødt til at bestille a la carte, da vi skulle være mindst 7 personer! Dette var vi ikke tidligere blevet oplyst om, så nu havde vi en time til halvanden, til at få bestilt og spist, hvilket var i en noget anden liga, end den vi havde forberedt os på! Havde vi været uordentlige mennesker, havde vi ALDRIG givet drikkepenge, men da vi ER godt opdraget, gav vi 10 % - trods det, at vi på intet tidspunkt var blevet kompenseret for noget som helst. Kommer vi igen???? Nej desværre ikke! Øv at en resataurant med så gode anmeldelser, ikke kan leve op til standarden en nytårsaften!

I would have love to rate the food, but unfortunately after waiting for 15min, we haven’t got any attention from the waitress. Early this day, the place was not very busy, yet. Especially as we could watch the waitress casually glazing out of the windows instead of serving us. Also, when we decided to leave the waitress didn’t even apologize or say anything when we had to look for alternatives in the area

The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Very happy again!

We took the Herring starter and the Borscht soups- both the vegetarian and the beef. All was very delicious, served in the right temperature and the portions were generous. The small lunch was accompanied with Gin&Tonic and beer. The service is kind and welcoming.

Great place, always delicious, big portions. Manager/waiter Stas, thank you! Fast delivery and attentiveness when ordering! I recommend! Toller Ort, immer lecker, große Portionen. Manager/Kellner Stas, vielen Dank! Schnelle Lieferung und Aufmerksamkeit bei der Bestellung! Ich empfehle!

Unfortunately, I'm not in the city enough to eat here more often. But today I had the pleasure of once again enjoying a great breakfast in a cozy restaurant. The subsequent visit to the market at Kollwitz Platz rounded off what was, for me, a perfect Saturday.

I like this restaurant because of the cozy atmosphere both indoor and outdoor. Our waiter, Martin was very attentive and friendly. He made several recommendations for what to get for a quick visit. Overall, we had a good time.

Very relaxed positive atmosphere. Dimitri and Marika take excellent care of their guests!

Upscale price range, nice guests and upscale price segment

Nice restaurant and the cocktails are very very tasty, good staff and service🔥Bartender Sergey 🔝

The Pasternak is a really nice restaurant in the Kollwitz district of Prenzlauer Berg. I have been a guest several times and have eaten there morning, lunch and evening. The service was always attentive and polite. You can find both vegetarian and great meat dishes. The menu options give you great insights into the house's exciting cuisine. The ambience is stylish and classic. When someone sits at the piano in the evening, it naturally creates a very special charm. A nice place for a meal with your partner or to show friends a cool restaurant!

Great experience!! Great service, Martin was amazing! Have been here every time I’ve been to Berlin, will always come back!

Really yummy food, the place is such a vibe and Martin our waiter was just such an amazing guy. Highly recommended

Best Restaurant of slavic cuisune in Berlin (I can compare wirh others)! Borsch is super decent, salads are beyond amazing, Kiew Kotlett is very tasty. The athmosphere is super cosy, the district is just beautiful. The stuff is very polite and attentive. I keep bringing my friends there, and they are always satisfied. Everytime Im in Berlin, I always go t Pasternak :) Спасибо большое ❤️😊

Martin~ was amazing!! Must try the house vodka! 😍 the food was also amazing, live music from the piano. Perfect last night in Berlin! 🥰

Really tasty food, attentive and friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

Amazing place. We had borschtsch, pangrit ( grilled chicken ), Wareniki and Pasternak pancake- all dishes we excellent, with special easter charm, especially the soup. The atmosphere is lovely, with small piano playing etc. Must visit in Berlin.

Really great place. Service (we had Stas) was cool and fast. I am definitely coming back!

One of the best authentic russian restaurant in berlin

Very cozy. Delicious. Very authentic. Stanislav was friendly and polite.

We had the brunch “für 2” and curd pancakes. Best breakfast in berlin for sure. Thanks to mara for the great service and recommendations:).

Love this place for the great food and service. Special thanks to Stas for the warm welcome and attention.

This is a very special place to me as I am a big fan of Pasternak the writer. The ambience, food and service are always so great here. I want to say special thank you to the waiter Stas for his kind hospitality. I recommend this place !

Great food and atmosphere with live music

Great place! Delicious cuisine, excellent service, Stas is beyond praise

Amazing place Can recommend it Great service by Stas

The most delicious beef stroganoff in Berlin!!

Wonderful place! Very tasty, waiter Stas created a warm, cozy atmosphere for our company :) we recommend the place 100%

Mega delicious food! Jewish Russian food is balm for the soul. Спасибо

The food was not bad, but when we checked out they didn’t give us a bill, but instead brought us a terminal for payment. After returning, we recalculated our account and it turned out that we were defrauded by 7 euros. We really regret visiting this restaurant.

Best borsch in Berlin! Tastes like home ❤️ Napoleon 5/5 Service was very attentive and friendly, it was great time to feel a home vibe! Highly recommended to visit 👍🏻

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. Attentive service. Places a bit tight.

Great atmosphere and good food, really unique restaurant. Felt cozy and great, will come again.

Everything perfect And fantastic Micky Very friendly and effective

I recommend it to everyone, very tasty and pleasant atmosphere!!! The dishes were top notch!!! I often visit with friends!!!

We were there a week ago to celebrate a friend’s birthday. What I liked: 1.delicious food, thanks to the cook 2.friendly staff What I didn't like: 1.you are given only two hours to stay in the restaurant. Considering that the order takes 30-35 minutes to prepare, then there is very little time left. It already looks like a canteen, not a restaurant. 2. very small room, tables are close to each other, if you want to leave the table, you will definitely hit the guest at the next table 3. the light in the toilet suddenly turns off, it’s obvious they are saving on electricity. In general, I conclude that the restaurant is suitable for a snack, but not for a holiday.

Great Sunday brunch menu for Russian specialties. Such good variety of items in one dish. I got the smoked salmon, with potato latke, scrambled eggs, avocado mash, cream cheese pinwheels with spinach ad caviar eggs, prawn and beet salad with horseradish. I've been coming here for over 10 years and quality of food and service remains consistent. Thanks again for another great experience and memory.

We had reserved online. Arrived after paying 8 euros for parking and was told there was no reservation. Then we were sent away again

Very nice atmosphere...Fantastic dishes...Professional and friendly service (Mickey) thank you for this lovely evening:)

Unfortunately a bad experience. Normally I communicate criticism on site, but here the service was neither interesting nor attentive. We had made a reservation for 2 people on a Friday evening with the note that one person had a wheelchair. When we arrived and I asked the gentleman with the beard to hold the door open so I could bring in the wheelchair, he first complained that it was far too narrow for one. Yes, I also saw that it was tight, you can tell that when making the reservation. After I had to look at 3 tables, he was finally able to hold the door open. The table was against the wall, the other guests were there almost immediately, I had to move the wheelchair and put it next to the piano. Then came the hint that the pianist would be coming “immediately”. When I asked when and where to take the wheelchair, the answer was: at 8. So in 75 minutes, that's fine, I thought. There was no help or suggestions. The service at the table was ok, but it dropped significantly within an hour, a drink was forgotten, no question what it was like, a plate was cleared away while the other person was still eating. That doesn't work for me at all. The food itself was also ok, not outstanding and not particularly good for the price. After a little more than an hour we basically fled because it was getting busier and louder and the service completely ignored us - I had to shout and wave vigorously for the bill. We skipped dessert and an espresso. 4 beers, 1 bottle of water, 2 starters and 2 main courses for over €100 - it wasn't worth it. The wheelchair was moved during that time and our jackets were thrown on the floor. That's not possible either, I don't like it when someone touches my things without asking and casually drops them. When we went out, no one was interested in us; I had to hold the curtain open with my foot, the door with my hand and move the wheelchair. This isn't just bad service, it's out of the question and humiliating. Was it just a bad evening by chance? I don't believe it. The parsnip will never see me again.

Very good food, very nice atmosphere and very nice staff. Thanks Mika!

Mikey was amazing. As was the experience

Really nice place with absolutely delicious food. We took breakfast for two and napoleon. With incredible service and reasonable prices. Will keep coming back again and again.

Mixed feelings... Ambiance/location/food top! Service very slow and inattentive. We had to wait a long time for the menu and drinks. The pelmeni were very good, but 19 EUR???? There was far too little Smetana and spicy sauce. We had to reorder and that took forever and everything was cold by now. When clearing away the food was not asked whether it was tasty or whether you still wanted to order, etc. Some bread would have been nice beforehand. Unfortunately we were disappointed overall.

We had a great time! The food was delicious and the server Miki was extremely kind and forthcoming. Cozy atmosphere with live piano music.

Best borsch! And my fav beef stoganov

Good food but also expensive for the amount of food.

Every single dish we had was fantastic Also love the look and feel inside, a little older, yet very cozy! There was live piano music while we were there🎹😍 No wonder every single table was occupied when we came. We'll be back!

We wanted to eat Russian food and found this great restaurant. The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was extraordinary and the service was friendly. Thanks to our Russian friends and neighbors

We had a great Sunday brunch in the booth to the left of the entrance. Everything was perfect and a great pleasure.

Fantástico servicio y comida de primera categoría! Te sientes como en la calle. Pete a principios de 1900... El único problema es que solo se puede pagar con tarjeta y la propina mínima es del 10% (parece ser una práctica común en Berlín ahora). Daría mucho aún más, pero al no tener elección, elijo solo el 10 %. De lo contrario, sería 5 puntos y fantástico!

A really lovely place to have an amazing supper. The members stuff were friendly particularly Myki, he was efficient to bring our food and drinks. A special place to dine. The food was excellent and the service excellent especially our waiter Myki who made us feel at home.

Excellent restaurant, very delicious food, very good service, all the time you feel in a good atmosphere. 100% recommended for dinner with friends!

The place is very authentic, the service and food leave nothing to be desired. Thank you, Miki, for the attentive and warm service.

That was an amazing night! Thank you, Miki, for an exzellent service!

Nice place, tasty food, perfect service. Dmitriy, thank you for your high professional skills:) was nice to be there, warm and cozy as at home)

Many thanks for the very friendly and courteous service, especially to Marita. We were extremely satisfied!!

Love these 90 minutes to get away from everyday life... I've known the store for ages and always enjoy coming here! Marita tried to read our wishes from our eyes... Simply very pleasant and nice!!! Will be back soon!

Excellent food and service from Marita, classic German Cafe vibes.

Great restaurant with Eastern European cuisine, very good service, high quality food. Recommended from breakfast to dinner.

Great location, nice service, especially the waiter Miky was very accommodating. Would love to come back.

Stas served us. Great service. Great food and rare wine

Geweldige sfeer en zeer smakelijke originele gerechten. Fantastische wijn erbij. Bediening attent en heel vriendelijk. Er was live pianospel. Wij hebben genoten!

It is one of my favourite restaurants in the city! Tasty food, great staff, and my favourite Napoleon cake. Marita is always very friendly, recommends the best dishes, and makes us choose this place over and over again!

Very nice place, delicious cheesecakes for breakfast and tea in authentic dishes :) Fast and unobtrusive service, thanks to the waitress Marita

Very cozy, warm and traditional place. Food and drinks were delicious and unique, just like the pictures. Myki was very welcoming and nice, amazing host to us, providing recommendations and also gave us a couple of drinks to finish up for the day. Soft and uplifting live piano music with dim lights to set the mood.

Had breakfast around 10am, food arrived very quickly because it was pre-made. Hash browns were cold, pancakes reheated. Tasty otherwise

Really delicious food, great service. Moscow Mule perfect. Gladly again.

The food was great, the atmosphere was traditional Russian, the pianist or guest played the piano. Portions were sufficient, the waitress Maikl was very nice and attentive. A beautiful evening. Спасибо

Very good food and also the waiter Mykie very supportive. Definitely a place to visit in Berlin.

We love to come here for pelmeni and napoleon! Very cozy place and dr Zhivago would love it. Stas the waiter is very nice.

Dimitri was an excellent waiter, we had an excellent experience and the food was delicious!

Thank you very much, a wonderful end to our trip to Berlin 👍🏻 Great restaurant, super delicious lamb kebab and topchik puree. Ahh and yes..... adjika is worth mentioning separately 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pavlova and Napoleon cakes are very tasty!!!! Waiter Natalya is friendly, positive and attentive to guests 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rude service: it felt like we were bothering them, speaking Russian didn't help Smoothie bowl is a joke: for 9€ you get a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, I could count the pieces on my 2 hands. So 9€ for a bit of yoghurt....

Very tasty puree and lamb shish kebab! The waiter Natalia is incredibly friendly and responsive.

The waitress Stas was really nice with us. He can speak German, English and Russian. Really nice place for a dinner with a Russian girl who cannot enjoy french cuisine. I recommend blini with lachs

I recently had the pleasure of eating at this wonderful Russian restaurant and it was a culinary experience of a lifetime! The atmosphere is inviting and authentic, with loving details that immediately immerse you in Russian culture. The food was simply fantastic. The borscht soup was hearty and perfectly seasoned, and the pelmeni were tender and flavorful, filled with fresh meat and served with a delicious cream sauce. The traditional blini were also a highlight – warm and fluffy, simply heavenly! The service was attentive and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The drinks menu had an excellent selection of Russian vodkas that we had to try. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. Not only is great food served here, but a piece of Russian hospitality is also experienced here. I'll definitely be back! A big compliment and great service from Dimitri.

I recommend this restaurant. Everything is very tasty and pleasant. Thanks to Dmitry for your kindness. We will definitely come back

It is an excellent restaurant that offers authentic cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. The blinchiky with salmon caviar are particularly tasty, and the selection of traditional dishes is impressive. The service (Dimitri) is friendly and attentive, which makes the visit a completely successful experience. Definitely recommended for lovers of Russian gastronomy!

I had the pleasure of eating at this wonderful Russian restaurant and I highly recommend it! The shish kebab was perfectly prepared – juicy and spicy, simply heavenly. The borsch was also a highlight, full of flavor and freshly prepared. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly and attentive. A great place to enjoy Russian cuisine. Many thanks to Dimitri for the perfect service!

The food was very good and plentiful, the atmosphere was jazzy and Dimitri was very nice

Very nice restaurant, great food and great service with excellent advices from Dimitri

Very good place. Babushkas Borscht and Pavlova are 10/10.

Thank you very much Stanislav for your friendly, professional service! We will be happy to come again 🤗

Stanislav served me, I will name my child in his honor for such service, even if there is a daughter

I always enjoy coming here. Both the food and the service, especially from Dima, are simply top!

The food was super tasty. My recommendation is #2 for breakfast and the Shakshuka was also very good. The ambience is classic and the music selection is appropriate. Dima the waitress was also very nice.

Super place! And we were very lucky with the waiter - Stanislav was very friendly and helped with the choice. We'll be back)

We had brunch one day and dinner another. On both occasions, the food was delicious and novel. It was not very busy at brunch so we sat inside the attractive small restaurant and enjoyed the quick service and quiet atmosphere. It was very busy at dinner so we sat outside. They provided blankets and heaters so it was comfortable and enjoyable to watch the street scene. However, the service was incredibly slow. We were partly to blame because we showed up without reservations, sut still.. it should not take an hour before someone gives you a menu!

The food was really delicious and I would definitely go again to try new dishes. The most common dishes you know from home are beautifully prepared, but don't taste like mom's at home. This is complaining at a high level and is in no way to be understood negatively. The ambience is quite nice and you can sit well both inside and outside. The service is actually a bit slow and feels inattentive at times. If this could be improved, it would be a 5/5 for me. Price-performance ? It's fair. I'm happy to pay a little more for good dishes and fresh products.

A wonderful place with a wonderful atmosphere, imbued with the spirit of Soviet migration! Special admiration for the third breakfast and excellent service (thanks to barista Dmitry for his politeness and friendliness)

We had a wonderful evening at Pasternak. The food was very tasty, and a pianist played in the evening, which made the evening even more pleasant. I would like to say a special thank you to our condition Natalja. Thank you!

Many thanks to Stanislav for making my mom‘s birthday lunch perfect. Great service and much respect to the guests‘ wishes. Highly recommended place 😍
