Restauration 1840 in Berlin

Beautiful place, shame about the somewhat poor service and practically no choice of vegetarian dishes.

Overall Experience was good! A great service provided by their waiter Singh! Will visit again!

Singh was very friendly and accommodating.

Restaurant 1840 is a first-class, very spacious, and cozy restaurant. The service is very friendly and attentive. We had a pork knuckle and were absolutely delighted. The knuckle was very large (1 kilo), so I couldn't finish it. But it was so good that I had the rest packed up to take home. Even the next day, the crackling was still crispy! We will definitely be eating there more often. I can highly recommend this restaurant. Treat your taste buds there!

We went there for the generous pork knuckle and were thrilled – one of the best pork knuckles we've ever had, and huge! So come hungry. The service was super fast and friendly, it couldn't have been better! Thank you so much, we'll be back.

Nice restaurant, fast service. Not the most refined cuisine, but more than decent with huge portions. The servers were very friendly; a tip is requested but not required.

It's an extremely welcoming restaurant where you can enjoy a truly authentic German-style pork knuckle accompanied by an excellent beer. The staff are incredibly kind: despite my very limited German, they answered me with great patience and even taught me a few words! A huge thank you and all my respect to this wonderful team for their kindness.

The place is superb, we ate very well, and the waiter was very pleasant! I recommend it for trying German specialties :)

We just dropped in for a quick drink and a slice of cake but the service was great, and we were happy with the drinks and cake. Thanks!

Fantastic, unpretentious place. Fast, friendly service. Delicious, authentic food.

Awesome service, great drinks and pretty good food in a nice classic atmosphere

I made a reservation for a table, and I was arranged to really bad one and asked for change, and they said your reservation is canceled now, funny

Really enjoyed the food, music and service was good.

The food was good, the beer was good, the atmosphere was cheerful, the two of us ordered roast pork knuckle, schnitzel, curry sausage and 2 liters of beer, which we drank without a drop.

The staff is friendly and attentive. I didn't eat, but I did try the warm apfelstrudel with beer, which was an interesting combination :) I must say, it was a delicious apfelstrudel. The atmosphere is also very nice. You feel like you're in a truly "German" atmosphere. Prices are similar to other places in the area.

We were a large group of nine people. The drinks and food were brought out so everyone could eat and enjoy themselves at the same time. The schnitzel was incredibly delicious. We sat outside, but I loved the atmosphere inside too! Highly recommended!

Very nice It's good Reasonably priced for a nice brasserie

It was hot and The presentation was very nice. Service was good but a bit slow. Still faster than many restaurants. Reservations are a must. Prices are a bit high but when you consider the ambiance , it's normal

Food was OK. Had lamb based dish but very little meat. It took more than 1 hour to get served. Server completely forgot about us after we were served, so no desert or extra drink. Waiter applied 10% tip on bill without asking anyone. Decent place but not great.

It's low-calorie, and some say it's the best pork knuckle in Berlin. We ended up ordering pork chops instead, which was hilarious. It was surprisingly delicious. The pork chop was a bit dry. The creamy mushroom sauce underneath was incredibly rich and flavorful, perfect with the boiled potatoes.

Great restaurant and very friendly service, we were completely satisfied.

Authentic place. Hell was good as well as the food, each meal was a piece of art. Mine schnitzel with an egg! was tasty and not dry.

I ordered a medium-rare steak. It arrived well-done and was so tough I could barely eat it. It also had no flavor. Very disappointing. I also saw a man escorting people to their table cursing at the waiter who served us so kindly. I wouldn't go there again.

We had a reservation for six, but the waiter pointed out that the wait for the main course was an hour! We quickly went elsewhere!

I've been living in Germany for three years and have eaten pork knuckle countless times. But this time was by far the worst experience. The waiter brought us two portions of pork knuckle. One of them had an extremely large number of black bristles—honestly, more and thicker than my colleague's hair. I asked for the dish to be swapped or for the bristles to be properly removed. The waiter just said "just a moment" and came back with a lighter! Absolutely unhygienic in my opinion—at least they should have used a blowtorch in the kitchen. He almost burned his hand while trying and probably realized it didn't work. Then he took the knuckle to the kitchen—and it came back without the entire crust. This is incomprehensible to me and is unacceptable service. And you actually have to pay €1 for the toilet—in a restaurant! Of course, I didn't tip at the end. Overall, a truly miserable experience.

Super delicious German food with great service!

Very nice restaurant, first-class service, and delicious food. Completely satisfied.

I eat there every time I'm in Berlin. The currywurst is very good, and so is the service. This time, however, I had the capital plate, which I would say takes some getting used to. Each ingredient is very tasty on its own, but the combination... the frikadelle is very good, but the almond on top is really unnecessary. The mustard and potato salad are very tasty. Then the currywurst, actually very tasty, but then the potato salad with it... that doesn't work in my opinion. I'd be better off leaving out the almond, adding a little less potato salad, and adding a spoonful of fries to the plate, and that would be perfect (for me). Last year we just had the currywurst with fries, and it was truly one of the best in Berlin. The beer is well-tempered and tasty, so we'd be happy to have it again next year.

What can you say about german food - meat, potatoes, sauerkrat. ok price, ok food, good atmosphere, abrupt waitress.

Waited 1h for expensive and not high quality food. Touristic place. Not recommended.

Everything is delicious, I recommend trying the meatballs!

Good traditional German restaurant. The currywurst was good, but not exceptional.

The food was delicious, especially the salmon. My food arrived late, but I did get a free salad and bread. Philip, you're a hero!

We were there with a small group after making a reservation on Saturday evening. We all felt very comfortable there. The live Spanish music from the restaurant next door was also very nice. Patricia, our server that evening, was always smart and attentive. Just as you would expect. The food (half chicken, burger, schnitzel, etc.) was also really good. Even a small "problem" with the meal was very thoughtfully and competently resolved by the restaurant owner with an additional dessert. If I'm ever in Berlin again... I'll be back. Thanks to Patricia for your personal, caring support. (Antibiotic)

The Pork Medallions were excellent

The pork knee is amazing, only bad thing I have to say is that a large mineral water was €7.5 which feels excessive.

Good food, great location, poor service. Adam was missing most of the time and even other waiters couldn't seem to find him or help us.

I was looking for traditional German food, so I went to a relatively crowded place. The waiter was very rude. The sausage was decent, but as expected, it was salty. I wish they'd provided more salad, pickles, and sauerkraut. I wanted to talk to the waiter, but he wouldn't even make eye contact, so I gave up and just ate.

Unfortunately, the food (schnitzel and meatball) was very dry, and for one dish (a Berliner platter), we had to ask for a second portion (the dry meatball). It's a shame; we had hoped for more.

A great restaurant with friendly service

Average restaurant and average food

The waiter was very friendly and professional.

A nice outdoor location in itself, but the picture changes as soon as you walk through the door. As a large group of 30 people, we were only offered three dishes, and only one for the vegetarians. The staff was not only unqualified but also rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, the food wasn't a true taste sensation either. A shame... I would have expected more for such a high price. There are certainly more affordable restaurants in Berlin!

Unfortunately, the staff was very unfriendly. The food was also rather mediocre and far too expensive. The ambiance was also a bit cheap.

Nice spot for a beer and a quick bite. Food cake fast and was tasty.

Very good adress ! Big up for ADAM !

The place is beautiful, and that's it. Although well located, the restaurant isn't very good. We ate there for a rather high price, with food that was ultimately of average quality. The server was insistent about tipping, with a lingering stare and wandering hands on the person accompanying me. The amenities, like the women's restrooms, leaked profusely. In short, the reviews are artificially suppressed; don't fall for it. Avoid.

A great place to go: quality service, generous portions, and very reasonable prices! We recommend it 100%!

We tried the pork knuckle, which is enough for two people, and it was very good, the meat was tender and the skin crispy. The service was very friendly.

German cuisine (very generous portions, very delicious dishes), fantastic service. Interesting location and interior – a market all around, and a railway line overhead. The sound of trains passing over the restaurant is impressive.

Good food for good prices and most of all, very good service from great personell!

Spectacular German food, well priced

Food is not good, it reminds me of a cheap food truck food rather that a restaurant. I ate the pork pretzel burger and it was not very tasty. My girl ordered the wurst with curry and it was one wurst with ketchup and curry. The craft IPA beer and potato salad was good but nothing special

I had potato soup and a Prussian skewer. The potato soup had no flavor, the bread roll didn't taste fresh, and the meat in the Prussian skewer tasted good, but the herb butter was still frozen and the vegetables seemed soft-boiled. The service was good, but I'm used to a different order: drinks first, then the appetizer, etc. Here, you get the appetizer first, then the drinks, and then the main course. While the price is understandable, you could easily spend €10 more and get a better meal elsewhere. Price per person: €20–30 I also find it funny how the owners are reporting this comment as defamation when they know everything I'm saying is true.

Efficient service, decent food. The restaurant is very well located in the middle of a flea market.

Although this place is in Berlin, they actually sell roasted pork knuckle, Schweinshaxe. A portion costs €18.90 and is a good size for three people to share! It was perfect for a man and two women, and the mashed potatoes on the side were also delicious, with a rich, creamy flavor. We ordered one roasted pork knuckle, one beef soup, and three beers. Two of the beers were uniquely colored, with raspberry and cherry flavors. Highly recommended for beer lovers!!! Recommended for those who want a delicious roasted pork knuckle and love fruit beer!

This restaurant is wonderful. Ray is amazing, he took care of us with care and professionalism the entire time. Despite the many guests, we didn't wait long for our order. The food was delicious. I highly recommend it. Ray, you're the best, thank you. FAFI thank you for the best service on my birthday 🥰

Nice cozy place. The food was great and the atmosphere is amazing.

We ate here on August 7th and August 8th. On August 7th, we had a hamburger, which was delicious, and the service was excellent. We even tipped for it. A day later, we wanted to go back for a schnitzel. They did this, and again, they were very helpful. Since we had left a substantial tip the day before, we wanted to leave a small tip this time. However, the waitress disagreed. She spoke to us in a pushy manner and kept repeating three times that she would have to pay for our meal with her bar. We explained that we found this strange, as we were paying for the food anyway. We've been here every year during the holidays for the past few years and have really enjoyed our visit, but unfortunately, due to this unpleasant experience, they won't be seeing us again.

Top quality at a good price in a beautiful ambience

We were with 3 people to eat salmon fillet with chanterelles, veal liver Berlin style, and rump steak, were very satisfied recommended guests from Karlsruhe

They are really cool and food is very tasty

Great food, and Fafi made the experience even better! She’s so sweet and hospitable. Don’t miss this spot!

The food was tasty and quick to come, however the service was very poor. Our waiter wasn't readily available and others weren't helpful. There were rats underneath some of the tables on once side of the outdoor seating area which caused us to move twice. The servers were aware of this but did nothing to change it. When it came to getting the bill our server had gone on break but not told his colleagues. Atmosphere was fine.

Salmon and fish with uncooked potato and cooked cucumber (it seems they made a mistake about cooking it) that's why I give them this score

I had a Schweinshaxe and a beer. The atmosphere was great, the price was good, and the service was excellent. The burger looked delicious, too. It's a shame I couldn't try it. I want to come back again.

A very pleasant little restaurant with delicious food. The welcome was excellent, and the waitresses who served us were lovely.

Today we spontaneously stopped by for breakfast. The selection is good, with something for every taste. The value for money is good, especially considering the restaurant is located right on Hackescher Markt. Very, very friendly and attentive service from Nazli. Thank you so much 💛

Extremely poor service with concerning indications of potential racial discrimination. Despite multiple attempts to get attention, the bartender repeatedly ignored my requests to place an order - even when clearly not occupied with other tasks. I was forced to wait nearly 30 minutes just to order, while staff deliberately refused to approach my table. This unprofessional behavior created an uncomfortable and discriminatory dining experience.

Best Schnitzel of my life by far. Good vibes,wonderful service!

Very good place of typical food

You have to visit this restaurant often, delicious food and very friendly staff

Review of Restauration 1840, Berlin We visited Restauration 1840 in Berlin on a Tuesday afternoon, somewhere between lunch and dinner, to have a beer and a bite to eat. The atmosphere was really nice, with a relaxed vibe and just the right amount of people – not too crowded, but not empty either. The decor felt like a nice mix of American and German beer house style, with a touch of 20th century feel and the classic Berlin atmosphere of Hackescher Markt. We each ordered a beer and a currywurst, which was served with fries. The beer was cold and tasty, and there was a mix of both German and American options, which suited the atmosphere perfectly. The currywurst was flavorful and the sauce had a good balance of spices, but we would have liked to have seen an option without fries for a slightly lighter meal. The fries were perfectly fine, but felt a bit like a standard addition rather than something that elevated the dish. The service was fast and friendly, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The prices felt reasonable for the location and the experience. Overall, a cozy time with good service and a nice mix of Berlin classics and international flair.

It's a very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere, and the service was excellent (our dog even got water without asking). The food was delicious.

Food and décor are on point, but American radio kills the vintage Berlin vibe. Minus two stars for the playlist.

Good food and drinks! Friendly staff

The three of us sat outside. Over half of the tables were empty. Waiters walked past us, chatting. When we saw them wave, there was no response. After 25 minutes, we left the restaurant. A waitress said "thank you" to us. I replied that unfortunately we hadn't been served. I was polite and matter-of-fact, but she responded with disinterest. Thanks, for nothing. Don't try there again.

Very good experience at this location! From the moment we arrived when we were warmly welcomed until we left. I highly recommend it as food is great and the service is as great! We had Mr Ihren serving us and he was outstanding! Very attentive and kept an eye on us to see if anything was missing. Thank you again! It was a pleasure being here!

We had a pleasant outdoor seating. The "Capital" plate was okay to try. The currywurst with fries was surprisingly small. I don't know if that's the Berlin version. We're used to it being twice as big.

Discovered it last year, went there twice, and of course, visited again this year! Beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and the service? 5 stars plus—thanks Ray! The best waiter ever! 😉😁 Friendly, attentive, funny...that's how you feel as a guest!!! See you next year! Ines & Christiane

The food and service here are really good 👍 also the price-performance ratio is good 💪👍 I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience 💪 Thanks to the team

We went here as a family. The service was top notch. We had steak, the burger and the chicken pasta. The food and drinks were delicious (I tried Berliner Weiss- quite a niche taste but worth trying!) The portions are extremely generous! The atmosphere is lovely as every table has a candle, it’s not too busy(in February at least)& there were plenty of locals eating there. We will definitely be coming back!

Was sitting in the outside area and waitress was serving some tables but ignoring anyone else. When I asked if I can order something she just said they don’t serve the outside area anymore. On my question what’s with the tables she did serve and why was it difficult to say it when passing by, she said they are busy and if I don’t like it should change the place. Which I did…

The pork knuckle is a great and filling option, the burger is very good, the sausage and potato salad are also good, and the beer is excellent; a good place to eat and enjoy a beer. Next to the metro station and very close to Alexander Plaza.

This is a challenge to review. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing. The food was average at best. I ordered a Curry Boullette and my kids ordered chicken. I am not sure they finished theirs. But if you are looking for a fun atmosphere and great service and are not so picky about the food (it wasn't bad it just wasn't great) - just trying to be honest

Great restaurant. Lovely decor and vibe. The service was great with friendly staff and the food was very very good, and a large portion for the reasonable prices. Recommend.

Pleasant and cozy atmosphere with delicious food and friendly waiters. We'd love to come back ☺️

I will preface that I forgot to take photos of my food at this restaurant. We ordered a Berliner Currywurst, Riesenbockwurst, and Hauptstadtteller. I found the Riesenbockwurst to not be super flavorful, which was disappointing since I was very excited to try it. The currywurst was pretty good. My biggest concern is the restaurant's handling of food allergies. The server handed us an allergen menu and informed us of the letter allergen codes and insisted that as long as the food did not have the allergen letters written, it would not contain any peanuts or nuts. Before someone in our party ordered the Hauptstadtteller, they triple checked that there was no indication of any tree nuts. However, when they received their dish, there were slivers that looked like nuts, and upon tasting them, two other people in my party confirmed that it tasted like almonds. This dish did not have the tree nuts allergen listed. After returning home from this restaurant, I read the menu again and noticed that the Berliner Bouletten noted that it had almond slivers, and the Boulette is one of the specialty dishes included in the Hauptstadtteller. Hoping this can be changed in the future and that it is clearer to those dining at this restaurant what contains or does not contain nuts.

Currywurst with fries are highly recommended

A nice restaurant in a cozy place. The food was OK. The service was mixed - friendly, but one dish was missed - and came very late without any apology. The same with the complementary order of beer - took a very long time, and came without an apology. Also: when we got our food we didn't get any cutlery... but had to go and ask for it, and still got too few! So we are disappointed with the service, even though the food was OK. Fresh toilets. Maybe the atmosphere of the place was the best thing?

We didn't eat, we just drank beer. There were different delicious beers. The atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very sweet ♥️

We had a great experience at this restaurant today. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was delicious. Special thanks to Nazlı, one of the staff members, who was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Her warm attitude really made a difference and contributed to an enjoyable dining experience. We left very satisfied. Thank you!

I need to revise my positive review, which I left three years ago. I went there a few days ago with friends. We ordered several dishes. All of them were completely tasteless. It was no different from any other food stall, in fact, it was worse. The quality has dropped dramatically over the past few years. I don't recommend it.

Very tasty, typical Berlin dishes. Berliner platter with currywurst and a meatball with fresh curry sauce. Very friendly staff. We'd happily return.

Superb restaurant. The service and staff were simply amazing. But the portions were simply too small for the prices...

The German pork knuckle and curry sausage platter recommended by the staff member FaFi were both delicious! The pork knuckle had crispy skin and was full of gelatin on the inside! The meat remained tender and juicy! The sausages were also very tasty, with a rich curry flavor! FaFi was also very friendly! If you're visiting Berlin, I highly recommend dining here!

This is a nice place to try some typical german and/or local food. The staff is nice and the prices are fair.

At my daughter's birthday party, everyone was very pleased with the service and the food. You had to pre-book for 20 people, but at 2 p.m. on a Sunday, there was plenty of room and everything ran very smoothly.👌👍

Typical Berlin dishes, rustic ambience, gladly again

The food was okay and tasty, the wind and noise level were not disturbing. You could expect a bit more for the prices, but otherwise excellent food and service
