Restaurant Schoenbrunn in Berlin

Great food, lovely on the terrace.

The owner objects to Google about bad reviews. The same applies to mine, which, like many others, was still available to read this morning and all referred to the long waiting times. Therefore, the following descriptions are all my personal experiences and opinions: In my opinion, waiting times of 40 minutes for a beer in a beer garden are too long. The long queues on site snaked past our tables and were anything but comfortable for a beer garden for us. Our planned short break while walking through the Volkspark didn't work out with a queuing time of 40 minutes alone.

Were here today for Easter breakfast and are completely thrilled. The food, service and location can't be beat.

When it comes to Wiener Schnitzel, only the “Alt Wien” inn a few hundred meters north is even better!

Nice view. Only grabbed a drink however still great.

We had reserved in advance and everything worked out great. The service was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio wasn't right. Apart from the Kaiserschmarn, which was very good. The toast with egg and avocado for 16 euros was a slice of dry toast, carelessly prepared. A grown man won't get enough of it. The pancakes were also manageable and dry. The terrace is very nice and you can sit comfortably. The toilets, however, resemble a train station toilet.

The restaurant is located directly in the Volkspark Friedrichshain and houses a barbecue hut, a kiosk and a restaurant with a terrace. Open daily - neighbors meet here from breakfast to dinner.

Nice place, in the middle of the park, the employee was very nice - everything was great :-)

Whether for coffee, lunch, dinner, coffee at the kiosk or pizza in the beer garden - the service is usually extremely friendly, the quality is good and the ambience is excellent.

Great service and excellent food, highly recommended

Went there for brunch today. Simply great, lovely service, competent and flexible if you have special requests. The food was absolutely delicious and delicious, perfectly prepared. Drinks also flawless and perfect. Great dishes and everything very clean ❤️. Large selection from vegetarian to Bavarian to Arabic, everything is included. Had reserved and that would also be recommended, the shop is “running”👍 A tiny criticism, there was a lot of dust along the windows and on the shelves. This needs to be reworked. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it again at any time!!!

Very good schnitzel and even better Kaiserschmarrrn.

Much too expensive for the small portions.

Homemade ice cream in the kiosk next door. Tastes very good. Unusual varieties. Price a bit outrageous. Service very nice.

Self-catering. You can really relax here

It's a quiet and idyllic place in noisy Berlin. On the terrace you can enjoy the sun on the first nice days and the food is very tasty. I can recommend good Austrian Kaiserschmarrn. The beautiful park around it is perfect for taking a walk.

I've often walked past it, but today I spontaneously tried it out in the nice Sunday weather and only got a seat inside, but free choice of seating and advantages such as no cigarette smoke, which you appreciate even more as a young family. The food and service were really great. It is rare that everyone enjoyed all three main courses so much.

Very nice food and location, but very slow and kind of messy service, seems to be always overload even when the resto is not as bussy

Definitely visit. Nice service. Food was okay.

We were here for breakfast today with a group of 11, of course we reserved it in advance. The breakfast was excellent, rich and tasty. The staff was quick and attentive. All in all we will come back. It is highly recommended.

It was very well attended and the staff still tried to do justice to everyone

Beautiful place in this beautiful park. We took advantage of a beer and pastries break to recharge our batteries during our visit to Berlin. To try during a next stay for the meal!

I was in the restaurant with my Colombian friend and myself with Kufiya. We had to ask for a table at the entrance and were not greeted. Then, after a long wait, we had to ask for the card. When we wanted to order, we were ignored by both waitresses. One waitress even stood near us for a long time twice, but ignored my questioning look, so we left without ordering. We felt like we were being deliberately ignored due to racism and felt very uncomfortable in this place. Kindness is different.

Lovely little place in a beautiful park. We came over for some beers. They were affordable and quite good. From the terrace you have a lovely view of the park, people and birds. Also the architecture of this place is great DDR architecture which I enjoyed very much.

This afternoon I wanted to have coffee with three women over 80 years old in Café Schönbrunn. Unfortunately the café was closed. There was no notice of the closure either on the internet or at the café. Inside we saw 2 men who ignored us and didn't respond to calls. We were very disappointed because we wanted to meet up for coffee and cake before the holidays.

nice restaurant with a nice view. great atmosphere

Nice location, but the overall quality of the food has deteriorated and the heating didn't work again, in November.

Breakfast on Sunday: Service very slow, cappuccino & hot chocolate were both hot milk drinks with very little taste. Food was mediocre - no avocado in the avocado toast; English breakfast was made from ready-made products that were made warm. Big disappointment!

Do you really want to go to a restaurant that can't handle criticism? Regarding my factual but critical review - originally 3 stars! - I received a message that my post had been deleted after the operator objected. The accusation is: defamation Dear operators of the Schoenbrunn restaurant: how about you use your energy to optimize the service to your customers instead of deleting critical reviews? My original review reads: "Food is ok in terms of price-performance ratio - but nothing more. Service is limited: tried to be friendly, attention leaves a lot to be desired."

✌️🥰 Kaiserschmarrn was great, service could be more attentive.

Since I know that giving a bad but correct review doesn't help your business, I generally refrain from doing that as I am an entrepreneur myself. Only today I'm making an exception because a slightly hard-of-hearing, snotty bartender pointed out to me that I should say hello before I could say anything, which I duly did when I entered. No wonder that the Berliner enjoys such a bad reputation in the world. As a German, I am ashamed of such behavior from an apparent native.

Nice restaurant in Friedrichshain

Schönbrunn is a great place to sit in the sunshine and enjoy an Aperol Spritz. However, when looking at the menu you have to hold on to your wallet...

We were there in a larger group. Food was very good, but rather €€ for the portions. Still, everything is very good. Nice environment right in the park. Toilets take some getting used to, but there's always something.

The four of us came by here around 5:30 p.m. after a long walk through the park, a little cold. The sign outside the door asked us to wait outside until we were assigned a seat. So we, like the woman in front of us, waited with a stroller. When it was our turn and we expressed our desire for a table in the warm indoor area to have a drink, we had to wait again. The interior was almost completely empty. We didn't understand what the problem was. But then we kept waiting. After a while two men came to the door again. We heard something about reservations starting at 8 p.m. (2 1/2 hours later!) and then we were told we could sit outside. Everything is inside! reserved. As cold as we were, we declined and left. And we probably won't come here to eat again. It's a shame I have to give it one star. He doesn't deserve it.

You've heard a lot of positive things, but I can't repeat that. The staff is absolutely overwhelmed and has no overview of who has ordered and who hasn't. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired. The tables are greasy and the floor even more so. The fact that dogs are allowed in what is actually a clean and hygienic environment is an absurdity. The prices are cheeky for what is offered. Everything seems unstructured and overwhelmed. The staff licks their fingers when the cake isn't properly on the plate and brings it to the table, simply disgusting. The cloth for cleaning the table is in a cooling jug where something should normally be kept cold. Hygiene is the last thing. I am very disappointed. The company's management should make further improvements and train employees on the subject of hygiene. In addition, the menus are simply ridiculous, some pieces of paper on the clipboard that are crumpled and dirty. And being addressed as first person is simply rude. The kitchen door is open, simply unbelievable.

Potato gratin was very al dente and only lukewarm. Food too expensive for what was brought. Service very nice and helpful.

Wir sind ohne Reservierung hin und bekamen sofort einen Tisch. Die Kellner waren sehr aufmerksam und nett. Wir hatten ein Wiener Schnitzel (original) und einen gerösteten Blumenkohl mit Rote Bete Mus und Humus. Beides war sehr gut und die Portionen waren groß. Der Blumenkohl war ausgefallen und echt mal was Anderes

Incredibly nice service, delicious food and a beautiful ambience - like in a fairy tale 🐸👸👑

Eating like before 1989 in Berlin's Volkspark D Friedrichshain 🇩🇪🛠️🇨🇳🇷🇺❤️

Very nice setting and very good service I had a great time there

We felt completely comfortable here. Sure it's a bit pricey, but the quality of the food was excellent and worth the price. Pleasant, unobtrusive service rounded off the stay. And even though it actually ends at 11 p.m., we were still able to finish our bottle of wine in peace and leave the restaurant 30 minutes after closing time. So thumbs up!

I've been going to Schönbrunn regularly for almost 2 decades... it's still delicious and good! The beer garden next door is also great… It's a shame that there are no more parties where the Märtini Brös play on the roof :)

Guest on September 14th and super satisfied!!! Excellent cuisine paired with confident service - what more could I want? I had the impression that friendliness was practiced here and that the staff's smiles were not professionalism. Everyone was friendly and accommodating - it was simply a successful evening. The restaurant is very easy to reach and recommended for families. Many thanks to the entire team - I look forward to the next visit!!!!

Very tasty food and excellent service

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful park. Delicious food... sometimes something unusual! Super nice staff! Highly recommended!👍👍

Beer garden closes before the advertised closing time, in our instance it was closed at 7.30 (mid September). The restaurant remained open but is expensive: nearly 30 Euros for a schnitzel. We had a small but expensive beer and left.

Amazing location in the nature. Good beers and good food. Also the pizza is very good - a nice option to share with friends with a couple of beers in a sunny sunday!

Great beer garden. Always happy to come here. Delicious pizza and bratwurst.

A lovely evening with great drinks & food! We'll be back!!!! 🥂😊

We celebrated our wedding here and it was simply wonderful! Great food and great service team! We can highly recommend!

We went to the restaurant for breakfast. It's nice to sit on the terrace with a view of the Volkspark and the food was excellent. Extremely friendly and attentive service, all in all highly recommended!

I would have liked to try it, but it is only open on weekends. The beer garden doesn't open until 3 p.m. during the week - visitors have to make do with Viennese and rolls at the kiosk. Kind of sad...

Everything is fine in this place that invites you to linger for a long time. Happy to come here to consume a cool crystal 😎😘 Quick staff who sometimes just don't get seen. So the freaks in the self-service area, move your ovaries, especially those who can read have a clear advantage. Thanks to the great staff😘😘😎👍

Actually great, just because of the location, but not for those on a budget... Still coming back😋

I went to the Kiosk, outside of the main salon of the Restaurant. The kiosk is perfect to take that cup of coffee with a Pretzel or a "Wurst mit Brot". Or, if you prefer, you can take an ice-cream. Both ways, you can take away or sit and enjoy it under one of the charming umbrellas.

DANGER! Don't go to the beer garden!!!! Closes uncontrollably early. Friday evening in midsummer, 8:20 p.m. A pizza please. Kitchen already closed! Why? I couldn't see if the beer garden was only half full. Not worth it. It wasn't my first attempt to eat a pizza in the beer garden there in the evening. Always failed. Again today at 8:50 p.m. Of course the kitchen has been closed for a long time. You can't go too early either, there's nothing there yet. If you happen to pass by, you can try to get a pizza, but drive there specifically for that? That makes you angry. But I don't want to be unaccounted for. There is certainly a time window of 30-45, maybe even 60 minutes when the kitchen is open. However, I never caught the time slot and won't try to catch it again.

Was in the kiosk/beer garden. Busy on weekends but you can find your spot. Good place for a break in between.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding here in May. As a bride and groom, you are already super happy on this day, but the restaurant, especially with its incredibly attentive and friendly staff, ensured even more happiness and satisfaction on this day/evening/night! The quality of the food is unique and remains in the memory of every guest. The large terrace is ideal for a wedding reception. I think every restaurant has been struggling to find employees for several years. The staff at Schoenbrunn seem to love their job, as they fulfilled our and our guests' every wish and were committed and friendly until late into the night. If you are looking for a location in Berlin that leaves an impression not only visually but also culinary wise, I heartily recommend the Schoenbrunn! For all people without a big celebration: treat yourself to the fantastic food! dearest greetings

Very nice, especially since there are a lot of memories attached to it. It's nice that this restaurant still exists, good food, very friendly team, nice atmosphere and beautiful area 🍀

Service rather below standard in terms of friendliness, sausages were great though and drinks ok as well, nicely positioned place for leisure time.

Top location, but lacks attention to detail. Expensive.

Unfortunately not good service. The location in the park is very nice. The guest just doesn't feel welcome here.

Very nice, courteous service, top quality food.

A very nice restaurant, located in a park, with a nice outside area to sit. The service is friendly, despite the fact that the restaurant is always very busy. They offer breakfast and a menu.

Great place, food was mediocre and not particularly tasty. But the location is great.

Schönbrunn is a good restaurant, the food is delicious, lovingly prepared and served in a friendly manner by the quick staff. The surroundings of the park and the lake make a visit to Schönbrunn perfect.

Nice restaurant in the countryside.

So gorgeous, middle of East Berlin's largest, most sumptuous park - a fountain midst of a lake facing the restaurant terrace and a circular shower for the kiddies off to the left - food was top notch, and served by pretty, friendly staff - thank you!

Was sceptical at first, due to small menu and higher prices, but both quality and service were amazing! Location is good as well, can recommend!

+ Nice spot (in the middle of the park) + very friendly service + delicious food

Die Bedienung ist äußerst aufmerksam und freundlich obwohl wir nur Getränke und Vorspeisen bestellt haben. Das Essen war vorzüglich. Gern kommen wir wieder.

Food is great! Selection, however, is small.

Ate outside on the terrace at Schönbrunn in the evening during the week. Very nice and attentive service. Map very / almost too clear…. Aperol Spritz was great, starter tomato burrata salad was also very good, but at 15.50 EUR it was very high priced... Main courses: Wiener Schnitzel was only OK for 30 EUR, chicken supreme with risotto was very good, whole sea bass couldn't be enjoyed by anyone ( !) had to be filleted...which would have made the eating experience much more pleasant, fish was rather carelessly prepared. Overall, given the price structure, it's pretty average! Location and staff very good, but overall a pleasant evening with room for improvement in the kitchen!

Waited more than 20 minutes only to be told that no hot drinks were served. Nothing is labeled anywhere and the staff didn't even say yes, sorry. But just sent me away!

On Wednesday evening, after jogging through the park, we just wanted to have a beer. After waiting in line for 10 minutes, we didn't move forward 1 meter, so we went to the next Späti. If you read the other reviews, there is probably a huge lack of organization, the concept should fit the number of seats 🤷‍♂️

Underground, at 22 degrees outside temperature, we waited 50 minutes for drinks, service was terrible.

Unfortunately we waited a long time for service.

Nice atmosphere, but that's about it

We recently stopped by the Schoenbrunn restaurant on a beautiful summer day with an acute thirst for Aperol. You are served at the tables with tablecloths, and the beer sets are self-service - but both from the same bar, where, when the weather is nice, there can be endless queues. In the end, the guests with table service also suffer because the employees cannot keep up with the orders. We waited 30 minutes for the drink itself and another 20 minutes for the bill. You have to have a lot of patience... and then of course it's not exactly cheap. But that's okay, the location and the view of the park and the lake are really nice. We didn't eat anything, so I can't comment on that.

Very nice location, especially very friendly service

Food was bad,, 29 euros for a badly fried snitzel, Dumpling spinach was 3 balls of stew. For 19. Euro. It is located in a nice park. Go there for a drink, but DO NOT eat there

cozy atmosphere what a great thing!!!! 🖖🏾👽✌🏾

Always nice there and simply delicious, great food and friendly service.

I love this place, there I always enjoy very good service, perfect environment and delicious dishes

There is also the option to eat together indoors with large groups. We were greeted with an exceptionally good white wine and treated to asparagus, schnitzel and salad. The schnitzel was freshly breaded and the asparagus was crunchy. Add the good wine and everything was good. Due to peak times there is a bit of a wait, but the staff was welcoming. You can park outside the park for free.

If you want to eat outside the street, you can do so here. This good home-style restaurant is in the middle of the park. There are some vegetarian options, but they are expensive too! The portions are rather small and I didn't really feel full.

It's going ok. The latte macchiato seems to be a vending machine coffee, the rest is simple standard at top prices.

Sehr schönes Ambiente im Volkspark Friedrichshain, Bedienung war freundlich. Essen war soweit in Ordnung, aber zu teuer!

Lunch on the terrace in this restaurant located in the heart of the park. Ideal conditions with a large shaded terrace and perfect weather. On the menu, German specialties. The quantities are generous. The dishes are good, made with fresh produce. Special mention for the apfelstrudel which was famous.

Déjeuner en terrasse dans ce restaurant situé au cœur du parc. Conditions idéales avec une grande terrasse ombragée et une météo parfaite. À la carte, des spécialités allemandes. Les quantités sont généreuses. Les plats sont bons, réalisés avec des produits frais. Mention spéciale pour l’apfelstrudel qui était fameux.

Nice atmosphere but high prices

Beautiful & well-kept restaurant area with indoor and outdoor areas. We recommend. The food was also very tasty and the service was great!🔝

Good, value for money Italian restaurant located in the middle of the Volkspark near Alexanderplatz.

On Friday the grill closed at 7 p.m. and all the other dishes were out. All that was left was salad and it was very expensive and ok. The location is great. There's also beer... there's definitely still some catching up to do with the kitchen...

Solid breakfast with nice service staff. From standard croissants to British breakfast with beans, bacon and eggs and Nürnberger sausages…

Super tasty Wienerschnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn

Schön gelegen im Park, aber total überlaufen. Zuwenig Personal, daher war das anwesende Personal total überfordert. Für einen gewöhnlichen Salat haben wir 1 Stunde gewartet. Zum bezahlen sicher 5x gerufen innert 30 Minuten. Qualität nichts besonderes. Auch zu teuer.

The worst organized beer garden ever. We waited in line for our beer for 45 minutes. Pizza looks really bad.

Delicious, great friendly service, in a wonderful place.
