Restaurant Urwaldblick in Potsdam

We wanted to have a leisurely breakfast in an environment that looked promising on the internet. There was only one date left, so the location seems to be in demand. The destination was the Urwaldblick restaurant, or more precisely, basically just the interior of the restaurant, because this is where the breakfast buffet is set up. Occasionally guests came in from the outside area, but they apparently wanted to eat there so they could enjoy the view of the jungle more. And that also explains why the places are booked up so quickly: there are simply only a few places. This is certainly not a disadvantage, as it promises a cozy flair as well as a touch of exclusivity. Unfortunately, the buffet is more than just adapted to this number of guests. It's downright tiny, even though the selection isn't excessive, but it's okay. However, a good selection is of no use if there is simply not enough. But with a small buffet you can compensate for this if you add more quickly. Unfortunately, that's exactly not the case here, on the contrary: people seem to be trying to have little waste after the event, if I want to interpret that in a positive way. According to my observations, it is really standard that guests always respond first. And only then do you start making them, which takes a while for comparatively time-consuming dishes such as scrambled eggs, even if the bowl is not particularly large. And so it's not surprising that things that were particularly in demand were usually empty, because I (like probably most of the other guests) had to learn that I had to actively let them know that they were empty, even though a service staff was constantly bustling through the restaurant clear the tables. Unfortunately, by the time we had learned how to behave, the time was already over and our hunger had already been satisfied by the remaining food. Incidentally, this experience also applied to the pot of very thin filter coffee at the table. This was quite small, so it was clear that it would never be enough for 4 people. But you also had to proactively request this pot or another one. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about about the service itself, everyone was friendly. Conclusion: For a price of 30 euros per person, I expect more, especially since I was offered much better buffets in hotels here for 20 euros, which were regularly refilled. In terms of quality, the buffet is still impressive when it is filled.

Yesterday we were in the Biosphere and also visited this beautiful location. It was late lunchtime and really crowded. Some of the tables weren't cleared, but that wasn't surprising given the somewhat thin staff. Because of the amount of glasses, dishes and bottles, the staff has to run countless times to get everything taken away. Note to the restaurant management: Maybe it makes sense to use a dish trolley for clearing away at such peak times or on public holidays. There are now really nice examples of these and not just the boring, simple silver ones. Then clearing away is quicker and more effective and the tables are no longer overcrowded. The service staff definitely made up for this deficiency with their good humor and friendly manner - a big thank you to them. All in all, the jungle view is worth a visit.

Friendly service, good food, relaxing and charming atmosphere. Am surprised by the other reviews. Must've had a change in management. Would recommend and come back.

Unfriendly and unfortunately no service. We left after 20 minutes without service.

The food is subpar and expensive, but the ambience is very nice.

It's a great experience to have breakfast under the palm trees followed by a tour of the biosphere. You can discover geckos, turtles, marmosets, iguanas, wild guinea pigs, chameleons, clownfish, horrors, surgeonfish, red-eyed tree frogs, sun parakeets and much more. It is a great experience for young and old. Just stop by and go on a journey of discovery!

We were looking for a nice breakfast location in Potsdam and our choice was the jungle restaurant in the Biosphere. The atmosphere is really nice, but the breakfast buffet is a disgrace. A cheese plate, a sausage plate, some scrambled eggs and a bland fruit salad. That was it ! No fresh vegetables, no salmon, no salads. Everything is very spartan and very loveless. Not recommended!

The currywurst is so-so, it just lacks the curry taste and the distinctive sauce. Otherwise it was okay but for the price it wasn't a highlight but rather a flop, but being able to eat like that on site is a luxury again :)

The atmosphere was very pleasant, the service was very nice but overwhelmed with the orders. We were asked several times when ordering whether it was correct, but we forgot our food and the children received their food last. The portions were okay but unfortunately the Bolognese was burnt and not edible. A pity! I shared this information with customer service but I doubt it was forwarded.

Wir haben das Restaurant nach dem Rundgang durch die Biosphäre besucht und waren sehr zufrieden. Weiter so.

Schöne Ambiente, netter Service und Preise in Ordnung, nur leider das Essen und der Kaffee sind nicht genießbar! Kaffee Crema schmeckt nach leichten Filterkaffee vom Imbiss, Pommes sind schön serviert, teilweise aber noch eingefroren. Ich finde es Schade, Sie sollten in der Qualität mehr investieren, vielleicht eine hochwertige Kaffeemaschine??

Service war gut, location ist echt cool - im Winter unter Palmen und Tropen. Essen: - Gnocchi - super 👍 - Milchreis - super 👍 - Pommes mit Räuberwürstchen 👍 Preislich, okay, wennauch obere Grenze. Alles in Allem sehr empfehlenswert.

Weil wir die Biosphäre besuchen wollten, haben wir als Gruppe ein Frühstück vorab bestellt. Das Frühstück war einfach (billige Bestandteile) und kostete 18 Euro pro Person. Eine echte Unverschämtheit! Es ist höchstens 8 Euro wert, unglaublich wie hier die Gäste abgezockt werden. Womit wird dieser Preis gerechtfertigt? Es beschädigt die Biosphäre, die uns eigentlich recht gut gefallen hat. Nach dem schlechten und viel zu teuren Frühstück war der Tag (und auch der Ausflug) leider gelaufen!

These kind of attraction restaurants are normally a bit disappointing and overpriced, but Restaurant Urwaldblick seems to buck this trend- the menu has lots of choice and the options we went for (flammkuche and currywurst) were really tasty and not overpriced at all. Service was fine, quick and friendly, and it was nice being able to watch all of the birds out on the balcony area.

Nach dem Besuch der Biosphäre kann man sich herrlich in diesem Restaurant unter Palmen entspannen. Das Essen ist gut und abwechslungsreich. Ob romantisches Dinner zu zweit, ein gesunder Businesslunch oder größere Runden – in der Biosphäre Potsdam können man es sich kulinarisch gut gehen lassen.

Nachdem man die Biosphäre Potsdam erkundet hat, lädt das Restaurant zu einem leckeren Imbiss oder Kaffee und Kuchen ein. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und gemütlich.

Einfach Platz nehmen und über die Tropenlandschaft blicken und frische, regionale, saisonale Produkte mit asiatischen, arabischen und französischen Komponenten geniessen. Einfach vorbeischauen!

Ich fand das Essen im Restaurant sehr lecker. Die Auswahl ist klein und fein, der Geschmack dafür echt gut und die Atmosphäre top! 🌴

Kleine Auswahl an essen. Aber einen tollen Blick über die biosphäre.

immer gesundes, leckeres gibt es hier! Beste Küche in Potsdam!

Das Ambiente ist herrlich. Toller Ausblick, wenn auch teilweise laut. Das Essen war leider weniger gut. Harter Reis, der den Eindruck machte, als wäre er am Vortag - allerhöchstens - frisch gewesen. Zudem war das Hühnercurry quasi ohne Huhn. Das Personal ist eine Mischung aus sehr bemüht und absolut ignorant. Wir haben uns zu beginn gut versorgt gefühlt, ehe es einen Kellnerwechsel gab und dieser uns offenkundig ignorierte.

Wir essen stets sehr gerne dort.

Schönes Restaurant in der Biosphäre Potsdam, auch ohne Eintrittskarte zu besuchen. Kleine aber feine Karte; man kann in der Tropenhalle oder in einem Extraraum sitzen.
