Restaurant Urwaldblick in Potsdam

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Thank you for a lovely Sunday. We'll definitely be back :)

Despite having a reservation, we weren't on the list and were given an extra table outside (in front of the restaurant in the tropical hall, very warm for breakfast). After setting the table for four people, we only got three servings. Coffee was served, but we had to ask for milk/cream. We didn't get salt or pepper either. The table wasn't cleared in between. I lined up with my 7-year-old daughter after the restaurant opened to get first. The scrambled eggs were already gone, and it took forever to refill them. The natural yogurt was also gone and wasn't refilled, even though there was still an hour and a half left for breakfast. There were four staff members on duty that day, and they failed to ensure the buffet was always stocked. There wasn't even a single slice of cucumber, cold tomatoes, peppers, etc., which are part of a breakfast buffet, or a sweet dessert. Hot tomatoes were available, but they weren't consumed that much. The juice selection also left much to be desired. A quick note on the biosphere: The hall was no longer what it actually was 20 years ago. There was a little discovery tour with an AI tour guide and audio headphones, an adventure trip, butterflies throughout the hall and not in a small "cage"/greenhouse. And the orchid exhibition was also a joke. Apart from a few large flowerpots being added to the palm trees, there was nothing else. Very sobering for a so-called exhibition. All in all, a disappointment.

Great atmosphere, but unfortunately the vegetarian breakfast was extremely poor. No cheese, no eggs, just cheap muesli, jam, and yogurt. A real shame.

We wanted a leisurely breakfast in a setting that looked promising online. There was only one slot left, so the location seemed to be in demand. Our destination was the Urwaldblick restaurant, or more precisely, the interior of the restaurant, where the breakfast buffet is set up. While guests from the outside area occasionally came in, they apparently wanted to eat there to enjoy the view of the jungle more. And that also explains why the tables sell out so quickly: There are simply only a few seats. That's certainly not a disadvantage, as it promises a cozy atmosphere as well as a touch of exclusivity. Unfortunately, the buffet is more than adequate for this number of guests. It's downright tiny, even if the selection, while not overwhelming, is certainly acceptable. However, a good selection is of no use if there is simply too little. But with a small buffet, this can be compensated for by regularly refilling. Unfortunately, that's exactly not the case here either. Quite the opposite: They seem to be striving to minimize waste after the event, if I want to interpret that positively. From my observations, it's truly standard practice to always respond to guests' suggestions first. And only then do they start preparing the food, which takes a while with relatively time-consuming dishes like scrambled eggs, even if the bowl isn't particularly large. So it's not surprising that particularly popular items were mostly empty, because I (like most other guests, I suppose) had to first learn that I had to actively announce that they were empty, even though a server was constantly bustling around the restaurant clearing the tables. By the time we'd learned how to behave, time was unfortunately already up, or our hunger had already been satisfied by the remaining food. This experience also applied to the pot of very weak filter coffee at the table. It was quite small, so it was clear that it would never be enough for four people. But even this pot, or another one, had to be proactively requested. Otherwise, there's nothing to complain about the service itself; everyone was friendly. Conclusion: For €30 per person, I expect more, especially since I've had much better buffets in hotels here for €20, which were also regularly refilled. The buffet is still impressive in terms of quality, especially when it's stocked.

Yesterday we were at the Biosphere and visited this beautiful location. It was late lunchtime and really crowded. Some of the tables weren't cleared, but that's no surprise given the somewhat thin staffing. With so many glasses, dishes, and bottles, the staff has to make countless trips to clear everything. Note to the restaurant management: Perhaps it would be a good idea to use a dish trolley for clearing during such busy times or on holidays. There are some really nice ones these days, and not just the plain silver ones. This makes clearing faster and more effective, and the tables aren't overcrowded. The service staff definitely made up for this with their good humor and friendly manner – a big thank you to them. All in all, the Urwaldblick 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 any service.

The food is terrible 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.
