Villa Kellermann in Potsdam

The food doesn't match the prices charged for it, even though the owner repeatedly describes that they are a star restaurant, they have kept the prices the same. I've never had such a bad burger. The meat was fried to death, put together carelessly, a tomato, a leaf of iceberg lettuce and the bun was completely ignored. You really pay for the surroundings and not the food.

The cellars are still in the discovery phase

We were at Villa Kellermann again. But only because the operators reported back to the last review. Unfortunately we have to say that the food has gotten even worse and the service has also gotten much worse. The ambience is great, Tim Raue did it better. We know 100 percent that a former three star cooked there over Christmas 2024. The geese were great on December 25th, 2024, homemade red cabbage. The game goulash was so excellent. You can now taste that nothing is made in-house anymore. You don't have to cook a star in the villa, Raue doesn't have one either. But you should try fine German cuisine with regional products.

The place is beautiful, right on the water

Food is good overall, but clearly too expensive for what you get (e.g. schnitzel 22 euros WITHOUT ANY side dishes). The concept tries to be down-to-earth and open to everyone - but the price-performance ratio doesn't match that.

Unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately only slightly upscale canteen food is now served in this dream setting. We didn't have high expectations. We knew that Tim Raue didn't cook anymore, but there were such simple dishes that tasted so incredibly boring. Unseasoned. Unimaginative. The ingredients don't go together. Dry bread with canned avocado spread and tomato pieces without seasoning. My children can prepare this better. Beetroot with hummus! Why just why? Raviolis with a fat in fat sauce, everything failed in terms of taste. The beautiful location of Villa Kellermann is too good for that. It almost hurts to say, we won't eat there again. But we saw Peter Jauch

The ambiance is great if you're well seated (we weren't). Despite reservations and consistently free tables that weren't close together, we were only able to sit in the very back room behind the door. The supposedly large reservation didn't actually exist. We were often overlooked despite a high level of consumption (5 people). That's not acceptable, and neither is the service. We each ordered three courses, but it would have been considerably more if the service had paid attention to us and made a bit of an effort. The service was simple! The food was okay, but not a culinary delight. Don't bother with the pasta, as it comes prepared like it's in a cafeteria and tastes like a kid's meal. If you want drinks, like a non-alcoholic shandy, you have to mix it yourself, seriously! It's best not to ask for wine advice. A shame, and a lesson learned.

One or two guests have already written about it. Villa Kellermann simply doesn't match the food and service. The house, the garden, and the rooms are very special, but neither the service nor the food match. The fact that they don't take your coat at the beginning isn't particularly tragic, but it does show how little attention to detail the staff have. The martini was lukewarm, and instead of the requested lemon, we were given olives in our glasses. My main course, a beef fillet with Brussels sprouts and fries, was only partially edible. I ordered the beef fillet medium, but received it rare. The Brussels sprouts were more than firm to the bite. The plate was removed, and I waited quite a long time. A new, much smaller piece of meat was served. However, the pepperoni was no longer on the plate, and the meat was unfortunately just as bloody as before. The Brussels sprouts were a little more cooked, but still not tasty. The gravy was absolutely disastrous; it was completely tasteless. There was no apology, and my dessert, which cost €13, also contained whipped cream – unbelievable for a restaurant in such a location. The raspberry foam splattered on the plate like a pile…! The plates were passed across the table, as if there had been enough room for the waiter to the right of the guest. The staff didn't say a word as we left, and so the story comes full circle. Very disappointing service. The staff simply lacks the training or a person with a sense of what kind of service a place like this needs. We will certainly not be visiting the Höft again. This place deserves much more sophisticated cuisine and much better service.

Noble restaurant with extremely friendly service and a good selection of dishes. The selection of breakfast dishes is particularly recommended, but the rest of the menu also leaves no wish unfulfilled. A very upscale atmosphere and beautiful rooms complete the whole thing. We would love to come back.

The most beautiful place to eat in Berlin/Potsdam. The rest has become simpler since the change, but it's still good. Anyone who has bad thoughts in this beautiful setting can't be helped. I thank the Tomasa team for keeping this place open to the public and wish them much success.

Wonderful - a well-kept dinner at sunset by the lake.

We are here for the second time now. Once for dinner and once for coffee and cake, which then just became coffee. First I'll start with the only positive thing. The ambience is very nice. It's really great indoors and outdoors in the sun. Now to actually everything else: The service is totally disorganized and lacks motivation. Only one waiter seems to make a good impression. Ready our first visit was very disappointing. When we arrived at our reserved and set table, a glass was already filled with water. Some of the cutlery was dirty. The food came very, very late, but not everything. One person received nothing. The ingredients of each dish were completely different than what was stated on the menu. E.g. Did you use parsley instead of rosemary? Visit 1 was therefore sad. Really great value for money. On our second visit we wanted to give Höfts a second chance. We ordered a cola and a hot chocolate from the first waiter. Afterwards three more waiters came and each asked if we were ready. Actually positive, because it was a sign that they wanted to serve us. Unfortunately we waited 30 minutes for the drinks until it turned out that the order had been forgotten. Now we ordered a cake for €5. This also came very quickly, but the piece was a joke. Totally small and looked like pre-made cake. Since that was too stupid for us, we returned it. We weren't offered a new piece either. The second chance is therefore wasted. We will come back when there is a new owner. Best regards

Very representative place for business lunches and receptions, with excellent food.

Unfortunately I can't recommend it, the service was very bad and my food was inedible.

We waited forever and finally left. Nobody greeted us, we weren't given a menu and gave up after 30 minutes. In addition, several tables were not cleared, which did not leave a good impression. It's a shame, because the place was very nice and the menu sounded promising.

Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience, bad, even rude service when we asked the staff about the mistake. The food was okay, the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately, price-performance doesn't match.

I think Günter Jauch ate here, hmmm delicious

The food was good and the place has an amazing view and is cozy. What wasn’t the best part of the experience was an hour long waiting for our meals. Then when we asked for the bill they hadn’t brought it until we asked again. Over half of the staff doesn’t speak English so we had no idea if they were sorry for the inconveniences or not. Nice restaurant but there’s probably a lack of communication between the management and the staff and between the staff itself.

Schlechter Service, essen war auch nicht besonders außer teuer, Toiletten waren verschmutzt, Bedienung war sehr überheblich.

Disappointment across the board. Waited forever for the food, the tartare is a joke, no warm food, no hot tea, Brussels sprouts cold on the inside and cold on the outside when they reach the table, mashed potatoes cold and unsalted, 6 dishes, one can't even arrive, everything came individually, no pepper or salt on the table, cutlery not refilled, lots of empty tea lights on the table, table for 6 ordered and set for 8, Viennese goulash was soup with 7 pieces of pork, no recommendation, just that Waiter understood German, no attentive staff, had the table at 5:30 p.m. and were ready for dinner and then shortly after 8 p.m., my advice, go somewhere else and then look at the prices

We waited over 2 hours for the food. After repeated inquiries, unfortunately it only came in individual stages. I then canceled my meal because everyone else was already finished. It's a shame what has been done to this great atmosphere and restaurant. Simply bad.

Feel-good atmosphere with inspiring cooking interpretations

Since we live in Potsdam, we have visited there many times in recent years, within walking distance. You have to get used to the new concept and are very spoiled by the previous operator. We were displeased that it took a long time to place the order despite the low capacity of 4 p.m. When the food was served promptly, a waitress actually needed 4 attempts to serve the main course, which was due to ignorance of the size of the meal. Discussions about whether the supplement is included or not are unnecessary, just look at the menu. Due to the serving process, the main course cooled slowly. Reorders were forgotten. The taste wasn't outstanding, but it was ok. We will come back again once things have settled down. There is still room for improvement and yes, perhaps the comparison with the previous concept is inadmissible. That is perhaps the basic problem that people expect more from the location. But everyone deserves a second chance. Addendum Sunday February 23rd, 2025: I visited the Höfts again with five of my adult children and we were completely satisfied. Our service staff was totally committed, the breakfast was great, came quickly and we had a great view over the lake. We all had a great time there and will be back soon.

The customer is being misled here. The Google account of the previous restaurant is simply hijacked along with the reviews. This is more than infinite. You really can't compare Höfts with Tim Raue. It would be more honest to delete the old account and create your own new one. To Höfts' answer: Google is already cooperative. You just can't hijack the account and enter your details. If the owner has a Google account, they can easily mark such an entry as permanently closed and have it deleted. But it doesn't work that way, as information is updated and new reviews are constantly being added.

The ambience is wonderful. The villa is lovingly furnished and attention has been paid to beautiful details. The wardrobe is equipped with lots of hangers and there is enough space to store clothes. I find the fact that the jacket is not removed by the staff to be inappropriate in this atmosphere. The mirrors in the toilet cubicles are a nice detail, but they also need to be looked after. The toilets were dirty, the mirrors smudged and dusty. In the entrance area there is a small table with beautifully draped cakes under glass covers. However, the smell of food is already very strong here in the entrance area. About the food itself: the ordering process is reminiscent of ordering in a fast food restaurant. You have to order everything individually for each course. The individual components then come to the table in bowls and bowls at different times. I generally think it's good to choose the side dishes yourself, but everything on one plate or at least at the same time would be desirable. Neither the presentation nor the quality of the food justify the prices. For dessert we ordered Kellermann's Eiszauber. We weren't enchanted by the presentation or the fix bag sauce. If you had let the ice cream ball disappear under the chocolate hemisphere, put the fruit mirror on the outside and served a warm white chocolate sauce to melt the hemisphere over the ice cream, the effect would have been appropriate for the price without increasing the cost of goods. We are very disappointed and have eaten much better in the area!

Unfortunately, the kitchen and service are just ok in this great establishment. Had to return food, was neither apologized for what was on the house nor was I informed of what was going to happen.

The schnitzel was crispy, the dumplings were immediately delicious and I don't even want to start with the dessert... you could have just gone for it. Overall, an absolute taste experience. Need to be repeated guaranteed :)

I wanted to invite my best friend to a great meal on her birthday and had high expectations - unfortunately they weren't met. The location is incredibly beautiful, but the food and service don't do it justice in any way. As soon as we entered we were greeted unfriendly - an overwhelmed waitress didn't seem to have expected us and wanted to take us straight to the table. When we asked whether our jackets would be taken away from us there, we were instead told that we should please take them off ourselves at the cloakroom. The problems continued: Although we had expressly asked when ordering that the wine should only be served with the meal, the carafe was brought straight with the aperitifs, uncooled. Only after further notice was the wine put back in the fridge. The starter, a “deconstructed” beef tartare, was served to us without any explanation. The ingredients were draped around the meat, but unfortunately it wasn't explained to us whether we should mix everything ourselves or add the individual components separately to the bread. The main course took 40 minutes to arrive, although we were asked whether we could continue straight away and said yes. When it finally came, there was the next problem: the au gratin onion ring with burrata was inedible because the outer onion skin was still stuck to it. When we reported this to the head waiter, the plate was taken away without a word. It took 10 minutes before anyone came back to our table - with no explanation as to whether we would now receive a new portion. When a new plate was brought, we were irritated again: the onion ring was replaced, but the remaining components - sweet potato slices, lamb's lettuce and burrata - were simply "transferred" from the old plate to the new one. Again, no excuse. Only shortly before paying, when the waiter noticed that we were no longer in the best mood, were we offered a scoop of ice cream - but without a real apology for the numerous errors in the kitchen and service. Overall a disappointing experience. The beautiful location deserves food and service that does it justice - unfortunately that wasn't the case here. No recommendation.

A highlight in Potsdam – Höfts in the Villa Kellermann! We were at Höfts in Villa Kellermann on Sunday and were absolutely thrilled! As soon as you enter the stylish restaurant you can feel the special atmosphere - elegant but cozy rooms with historical charm and attentive, very friendly service that gave us a warm welcome. The food was a real taste experience. We had cod and a vegan dish, and both dishes were cooked perfectly. The cod was tender as butter, with a wonderfully harmonious accompaniment of fine aromas. The vegan dish was also a real surprise – creative, sophisticated and full of flavor! You can tell that the cooking here is done with passion and high-quality ingredients. For this first-class ambience and the high quality of the food, we found the prices absolutely fair. We can fully recommend Höfts in Villa Kellermann and are already looking forward to our next visit!

We went to Höfts for dinner and were excited to see what awaited us due to the rather average reviews. However, we can only report good things after the visit: the food was good and served hot, the service was quick, friendly and courteous and the ambience was of course beyond any doubt. We'd love to come back.

This refers to the old Villa Kellermann and not to the Höfts: Food and ambience excellent. The only weak point is time. When things get comfortable, you have to leave. Too bad.

More appearance than reality. Unfortunately, the concept doesn't work here: the price/performance isn't right, the quality of the food is "so..." and the service is completely overwhelmed. (Aperitif too warm, only came when asked...Wine also too warm - stupid, unprofessional answer received...- Kaiserschmarrn soggy on the inside, dark brown on the outside) Overall, it's a shame... the ambience, which is very nice, is unfortunately already in the years have come. It's all a bit hui, hui (there's something lying around everywhere). We will definitely come back again in the summer, according to the motto: lake view and the wine, if it is cold enough, is also very tasty!!!

The new operator has taken over the Google account of the previous restaurant and with it all the outstanding reviews. This could cause upset, because anyone expecting fine cuisine à la Tim Raue may be disappointed. I am therefore forced to adjust my 5-star rating from the previous operator. The new team puts in a lot of effort, but in the end everything is a level more down to earth. The quality of the food is of a good standard, as you can get in the sister restaurant Tomasa. The service is friendly, but still inexperienced (We only received matching red wine glasses for the red wine we ordered when we asked. Bread was forgotten at our table.) The ambience has been left almost unchanged and is still great. Overall, the prices are a bit too high for the level offered (2 people, 2 courses, water, wine, 140€)

Jauch’s restaurant is now accessible to everyone. Reservation not necessary. Lunch menu with dishes for 15€. The kitchen still has to learn. There were almost no potatoes for the herring dip, the meat dish had too much meat, but no side dish other than rice. When the terrace opens we will come back.

The Höfts in Villa Kellermann impressed us with its extraordinary atmosphere and first-class dinner. The location is an absolute highlight – a perfect mix of stylish elegance and relaxed charm. It's rare that a place is so upscale, but at the same time exudes a pleasant, calm relaxed atmosphere. Simply a space to feel good! The duck breast was simply excellent – ​​perfectly cooked and a delight in every way. The starter and the Kaiserschmarrn for dessert were also excellent. In addition, there was a service that left nothing to be desired: attentive, warm and always present without ever being intrusive. The restaurant is an absolute recommendation! The perfect balance of sophisticated style and relaxed atmosphere is achieved here, making the evening something very special. If you are looking for a place that combines first-class quality and an inviting atmosphere, you will definitely find it here. An experience not to be missed!

Like many other Potsdam residents, I was happy that this charming place did not stand empty for long after the departure of first Tim Raue and then Christopher Wecker. Tried it for the first time today. Successful menu, also vegetarian and vegan. Maybe not quite the same level as before (also in terms of price), but everything is very good. Highly recommended. Hopefully the concept will now also work economically. The only small point of criticism: the younger service staff still need some practice. But the team has only been together since the beginning of the year. It'll be fine.

Please get rid of candles! Not only are the beautiful blankets full of rust, they also pose a fire hazard and the waiter splattered wax all over me and my new cashmere sweater while replacing the candle. There wasn't even a free cappuccino or anything nice. This must be a given. I can't judge the food yet. The drinks were perfect. The location is of course beautiful. But the useless warming fires in front of the entrance should go, we are in the midst of climate change.

Very nice and pleasant atmosphere. The service was pleasant and very friendly. The food was very good. I can definitely recommend the restaurant after it reopens. I would love to eat there again and again.

Great ambience, good service and selected dishes!

Actually everything is great, except for the value for money for the side dishes (boiled potatoes €6.50!)

Wir waren am 25.12.2024 Mittagessen ( Weihnachtsmenü ). Wir haben das Wildgulasch gehabt und die Gänsekeule. Diese Gerichte waren sehr lecker, der Rotkohl war selbstgemacht, das hat man gesehen und geschmeckt. Die Soßen waren erste Klasse, da hat man gemerkt das die Soßen von einem Profi gemacht worden sind. Der Grünkohl war sehr lecker,die Vorspeisen waren leider nicht ganz so gut. Der Service war sehr gut, vor allem eine junge Frau die mit uns Französisch gesprochen hat. Wir werden im neuen Jahr wieder kommen.

Great ambience, great food. Unfortunately this great restaurant will be closing next week. That's too bad. We really liked it here.

Great ambience. Very good food. Attentive service. Reasonable prices. Thank you. We had a lovely evening!!

Wir wollten die Villa Kellermann noch einmal besuchen, nachdem die Presse von der Schließung berichtet hatte. Der Service der Buchung war auch sehr gut; auf meine Mail erhielt sich sofort eine Reservierung, obwohl nach den Angaben auf der Buchungshomepage eigentlich schon alles ausgebucht war. Das Wetter war auch prima, so dass wir auf der Terrasse sitzen konnten. Eigentlich alles perfekt für einen gelungenen Abend… Als Vorspeise, quasi als Gruß aus der Küche, wurden uns Gurken und Perlzwiebeln serviert, die genauso aussahen und schmeckten, wie Discountersauerkonserven aus dem Glas. Dazu gab es ein beträchtliches Schüsselchen mit Weißwurstsenf und eines mit einer weiteren nicht definierbaren Sauce. Ich habe nun schon vieles in Restaurants erlebt, aber einen solchen Schock überwindet der Gast bestenfalls mit guten Freunden an der Seite und einem ordentlichen Champagner, den es tatsächlich gab. Der Sommelier hat sein Geschäft auch so weit so gut erledigt. Daneben war für unseren Tisch eine Person für den Service zuständig, welche die schönste Versuchung der bocklosesten und unkultiviertesten Servicekräfte war, die man sich an einem solchen Ort vorstellen kann. Bei allem Verständnis für die Situation der Beschäftigten vor der Schließung ihres Lokals: Das ging gar nicht; die Frau hatte so schlechte Laune, dass ich sie beinahe darauf angesprochen hätte. Auf die Frage, wie groß die Portionen seien, entgegnete sie, man müsse schon Vor,- Haupt- und Nachspeise essen, um satt zu werden. Sekunden nach dem vermeintlichen Ende des Essens zog sie mir bereits den Teller unter der Hand weg. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt aßen noch Teile der Tischgesellschaft. Ein Schelm, wer sich da bei den Preisen (wir haben für 5 Personen, wobei eins ein Kind war, über 400 Euro gezahlt) nicht ernstlich nach Ursache und Wirkung der bevorstehenden Schließung fragt. Das Essen (Königsberger Klopse) war zwar schön angerichtet, aber quasi soßenfrei - und die Klopse selbst trocken. Da lobe ich mir das legendäre Rezept meiner verstorbenen Oma, mit dem ich schon Dutzende Gäste glücklich gemacht habe. Die Spargelsuppe schmeckte nach manchem, aber nicht nach Spargel und das vegetarische Essen war nach der Aussage meiner Tochter ebenfalls geschmacksfrei. Das muss man erst mal schaffen. Als Frau der Tat kommt einem der Gedanke, dem Team einen kostenlosen Kochkurs anbieten zu wollen. Die Nachspeise (irgendwas mit weißer Schokolade) beinhaltete eben jene jedenfalls nicht schmeckbar. Da wir aber grundsätzlich fröhliche Menschen sind, ließ sich auch das überstehen. Ich wünsche dem Restaurant bei einer Neuauflage ein besseres Händchen bei Koch- und Servicepersonal; die wirklich wunderschöne Location ist nicht in der Lage, den zahlenden Gast alle (gravierenden) Mängel übersehen zu lassen.

We wanted to visit Villa Kellermann again after the press reported about its closure. The booking service was also very good; I received a reservation immediately in response to my email, even though according to the information on the booking homepage everything was actually already fully booked. The weather was also great, so we were able to sit on the terrace. Actually everything is perfect for a successful evening… As a starter, as a sort of greeting from the kitchen, we were served cucumbers and pearl onions, which looked and tasted exactly like jarred sour preserves from a discount store. There was also a sizeable bowl of white sausage mustard and one with another indefinable sauce. I've experienced a lot in restaurants, but the best way to overcome such a shock is to have good friends at your side and a decent champagne, which was actually available. The sommelier has done his business so far so well. There was also a person responsible for the service for our table, who was the greatest temptation of the most unrestrained and uncultured service staff that you can imagine in such a place. With all understanding for the situation of the employees before the closure of their restaurant: That didn't work at all; The woman was in such a bad mood that I almost asked her about it. When asked how big the portions were, she replied that you have to eat a starter, main course and dessert to get full. Seconds after the supposed end of the meal, she pulled the plate from under my hand. At this point, some of the dinner party was still eating. It's a rogue who doesn't seriously ask about the cause and effect of the impending closure given the prices (we paid over 400 euros for 5 people, one of which was a child). The food (Königsberger Klopse) was beautifully prepared, but practically sauce-free - and the meatballs themselves were dry. I praise my late grandmother's legendary recipe, with which I have made dozens of guests happy. The asparagus soup tasted like some things, but not like asparagus, and according to my daughter, the vegetarian food was also tasteless. You have to do that first. As a woman of action, it occurs to you that you want to offer the team a free cooking class. The dessert (something with white chocolate) contained just that, but it wasn't tasty at all. But since we are basically happy people, we could get through that. I wish the restaurant had a better hand in terms of cooking and service staff when it was relaunched; The really beautiful location is not able to let the paying guest overlook all (serious) defects.

A perfect evening! A beautiful villa, stylish ambience - but the crowning glory was the kitchen. The food was the crowning glory. We were so satisfied and would have liked to try everything else on the menu. The wine with it was brilliant and the service was exceptionally good. It's such a shame they're closing!

It was a very successful evening. From the reception to the farewell, we were wonderfully accompanied by the very friendly service staff. The food was excellent. The set table menu is absolutely recommended. We made reservations again straight away and are looking forward to our next visit.

Top location!! Unfortunately, Villa Kellermann is closing at the end of the month. Very unfortunate

Everything was perfect. Service, food, wine and the view directly over the water.👍😊😋

Great location (with terrace) on the Holy Lake in Potsdam, very exquisite food - also visually, very attentive service, unfortunately closes at the end of June 24th

Since the closure is coming soon, we were able to get an appointment and are thrilled. Starting with the wonderful interior, the relaxed and courteous waiters to the food, it was wonderful :)

Die Villa Kellermann hat eine tolle Lage. Leider hat man beim Service deutlich bemerkt, dass das Restaurant geschlossen wird. Es war permanente Frustration zu spüren. Schade, das war nicht professionell. Küche war gut. Hoffentlich findet sich ein motivierter guter Gastronom, der diese Location wieder belebt.

Basically a great restaurant, tastefully decorated and a nice terrace. The card reads well, but it still lacks the kick for something special. They are ok, but they work better. The asparagus with the veal fillet was good but I lacked salt and it was difficult to get it. The asparagus soup doesn't taste as much like asparagus as I thought, but that's subjective. The drink selection is very good. The dessert is ok, could be better and the espresso, if I'm not mistaken, comes from the fully automatic coffee making machine. All in all, wave seven discussed it, it's great but nothing more. Despite everything, good luck with everything that follows.

It remains to be hoped that gastronomy in this style and accessible to everyone will continue in Villa Kellermann...

Fine here. Unfortunately it will be closing soon. Günni Jauch apparently cannot find any staff.

Everything was delicious and the service was perfect.

Prime location, culinary dream, I can definitely recommend it

Great ambience, great food and good service

Very tastefully designed restaurant with high-quality “home-style” cuisine. The menu is clear and there is also a nice selection of vegetarian dishes. The atmosphere is quiet, you can't hear any conversations from the neighboring table, the background music is quiet. Whether tartar as a starter or Königsberger Klopse as a main course or the vegetarian version: everything tasted very good, portions are enough to fill you up. The desserts can't quite keep up the standard. Wine list is ok. Service very friendly and attentive. A small point of criticism: The porcelain is thrown together and looks like it comes from a flea market: At this price level, a stylish service would be more convincing. Overall a very good impression, would be happy to come again at any time.

Sehr geschmackvoll gestaltetes Restaurant mit „gutbürgerlicher“ Küche auf hohem Niveau. Die Karte ist übersichtlich, auch schönes Angebot an vegetarischen Gerichten. Ob Tartar als Vor- oder Königsberger Klopse als Hauptspeise oder die vegetarische Variante : es schmeckte alles sehr gut , Portionen sind zum Sattwerden. Die Nachspeisen können das Niveau nicht ganz halten. Weinkarte ist ok. Service sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Das Porzellan ist zusammengewürfelt und wirkt wie vom Flohmarkt: Bei dem Preisniveau wäre ein stilvolles Service überzeugender. Insgesamt ein sehr guter Eindruck, jederzeit gerne wieder.

Beautiful atmosphere and excellent food and service

A fantastic ambience, great atmosphere and a fantastic location right on the lake. They try to serve upscale cuisine, and it's quite possible that the restaurant will reach for the first star. It's exciting to see whether it's enough for a Michelin star. The basic idea of ​​the kitchen is clear and understandable. You can feel that you've put some thought into it. However, there is a lack of elaboration of the individual dishes or components, there is a lack of that certain something that defines truly fine cuisine. Maybe it was too simple for my taste. But overall everything is beautifully designed. A big point of criticism - the spiciness of some dishes and their accompanying sauces and essences, which was almost never mentioned and was not expected. The wine list is okay. You might say it's too simply put together, but on the other hand, this is home-style cooking. That's why the wine list is also appropriate.

Wonderful old mansion with high quality traditional dishes. Perfect for a date.

The ambience is very impressive. The reception was friendly and accommodating. The food was good, but not outstanding, and despite the good service, we unfortunately had to make some compromises (the food intolerances mentioned both in advance and before ordering were noted, but not fully implemented). All in all, a nice evening, but the demands and expectations were higher.

Villa Kellermann exceeded our culinary expectations! The Wiener Schnitzel was perfectly prepared, crispy and juicy at the same time. The four-course Austrian menu was a real feast for the senses, especially the spinach dumplings with nut butter were a taste experience. The boiled beef was tender as butter and accompanied by delicious side dishes. And the deconstructed Sachertorte was a sophisticated take on a classic dessert. The entire experience was perfectly rounded off by the courteous staff and the elegant ambience of Villa Kellermann. We can't wait to come back!

5 Tage Zeit in Potsdam, da ist es naheliegend in die Villa Kellermann zu gehen . Die Speisekarte liest sich spannend, das Gebäude aufwändig restauriert und die Presse voller Lob. Ich mag es wenn Gebäude eine Geschichte haben. Die Räumlichkeiten sind schön. ABER : und das hat mich echt gestört - Ich konnte mein Essen nicht richtig genießen da es zu dunkel war . Die Lichtdesigner haben vermutlich nicht berücksichtigt, dass ich mich ja auch bewege und somit einen Schatten werfe. Somit leider nur drei Punkte . Das essen war ok - die Königsberger Klopse sensationell . Beim Service hatte man das Gefühl der leichten Genervtheit ( zwei Damen waren da , die jüngere war sehr sehr nett ) als wir noch eine Frage hatten . Gleiches als wir bei der Weinbegleitung nach einem anderen Wein gefragt haben. Die Villa war glaube ich nur zu 1/3 belegt so dass dies vermutlich der Grund war, dass die Toiletten mehr als kühl waren . Zumindest wird man dann flott .😁

Very courteous service but not necessarily in every situation. On the one hand, the light is pleasantly dim, but that means you can't see the map well. The font size of the map also leaves something to be desired.

We always enjoy coming here. Service and food leave nothing to be desired.

Neben einem beeindruckenden Ambiente, war sowohl das Personal als auch das Essen einfach wunderbar. Auch die Weinempfehlung war auf den Punkt genau das Richtige! Wir waren begeistert und behalten es nicht nur in guter Erinnerung sondern kommen gerne wieder!

Beim Hauptgang war die Kohlbeilage komplett kalt. Die Antwort des Kellners: melde es der Küche. Und das war’s. Peinlich !!

Wunderschöne Bewirtung zum 27. Hochzeitstag .

Gourmet-Restaurant im stilvollen Ambiente in der historischen Villa Kellermann in prominenten Besitz. Wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Das thailändische Menu war hervorragend - ein Augen- und Gaumenschmaus - gut ausgewogene Frucht- und Säurenoten mit einer angenehmen leichten Schärfe. Auch der Service war hervorragend. Auf der Weinkarte finden sich Raritäten des Kanzemer Weinguts des Inhabers Günther Jauch.

Gediegene und entspannte Atmosphäre bei erlesenen Speisen und Getränken mit einem guten Preisleistungsverhältnis. Wir kommen wieder.

Mega Ausblick,super Bedienung... ach ja und sehr leckeres Essen😅ein toller Abend in einer wundetbaren Location

Das war rundherum ein kulinarisches Fest. Wir hatten das Thailändischen Menű. Es war absolut super! Die Bedienung ist flott und freundlich und kompetent. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert!

Wir hatten einen tollen Blick auf den See, einen super Kellner und ein tolles Essen. Die Menüs waren toll zusammengesetzt und mit Hausmannkosts Basics aufgezogen, super Idee

Wir freuen uns jedes Mal , wenn es mit einer Reservierung klappt. Waren heute zum 2. x in diesem Jahr in der Vilka und es war alles wieder sooo köstlich und empfehlenswert . Wir hatten das Tatar, Garnelensalat , Soljanka und Kürbissuppe und Bienenstich . Das war alles schon köstlich. Der geschmackliche Oberhamner kam mit dem Frikassee ( für 2 Personen ) . Wir hätten am Liebsten die Teller abgedeckt. Ein herzliches Dankeschön der Küchencrew um Christopher Wecker und dem gesamten Servicepersonal.

Absolute Spitze ! Hatten den Garnelensalat , Kürbissuppe , Soljanka , Tatar alles mega köstlich , der Hammer war das traumhafte Frikassee , gefolgt vom Bienenstich. Einen herzlichen Dank an die Küchencrew um Christopher Wecker und den tollen Service !

Wir , 7 Personen , waren am Samstagmittag zum Essen in der wunderschön restaurierten Villa Kellermann und fühlten uns von Anfang an sehr wohl. Der Blick zum See, der aufmerksame Service und das phantastische Essen machten den Tag zu einem ganz besonderen Erlebnis. Die Vorspeisen wie Rindertartar und die Kürbissuppe haben überzeugt. Die Hauptspeisen Scholle polnisch, Kalbsschnitzel und die Königsberger Klopse haben uns begeistert. Der Nachtisch rundete das köstliche Essen ab.

Extra Klasse mit perfektem Service.Tolles Essen in perfekter Location.

Ein ausgezeichnetes Essen! Leider war der Service nicht einem Restaurant auf dieser Ebene würdig. Für eine klare Weiterempfehlung ist zunächst eine deutliche Erhöhung der Servicequalität vor Gast notwendig.

Die imposante Villa aus dem Jahr 1914 in bester Lage von Potsdam mit wechselvoller Geschichte ist schon beeindruckend. Lange stand ein Besuch des elegant eingerichteten Restaurants auf unserem Wunschkalender. Aus unerfindlichen Gründen ist das Restaurant neuerdings erst ab Donnerstag geöffnet.; und davor telefonisch nicht erreichbar. Personalmangel? Kurzum nur zwei Punkte: 1.) Der viel kritisierte Service ist (wohl) extrem verbessert worden: wir wurden von einem überaus freundlichen und umsichtigen Kellner umsorgt. 2.) Zum Thema Hauptgericht "Scholle" übernehme ich exemplarisch und 1:1 die Kritik einer früheren Bewertung: "Mein Fischgericht (Hauptspeise) bestand aus einem Haufen Kartoffelwuerfeln und eine leicht übersehbare Spur von Scholle…" Offensichtlich ist die Küche nicht bereit, hier eine Korrektur vorzunehmen. Fazit: Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist vor dem Hintergrund der Küchenleistung mMn "gewöhnungsbedürftig".

Am Sonntag waren wir zum ersten Mal in der Villa Kellermann zu Gast. Wir hatten uns vorab sehr gefreut, weil die Bewertungen insgesamt sehr gut waren und der Ort aufgrund der prominenten Beteiligten doch sehr gehypt wird. Allerdings waren wir vier am Ende alle enttäuscht. Die Portionen sind für eine "gutbürgerliche" Küche viel zu klein und für eine Sterneküche nicht fein und ausgefallen genug. Es ist nicht Fisch, nicht Fleisch. A propos Fleisch, der Hirschrücken war uns deutlich zu kalt und zu zäh. Die Sellerieklopse waren aus unserer Sicht ein Witz. Sie bestanden einfach aus einem Stück Sellerie, nicht aus einer raffinierten Masse- wenn das die Alternative für Vegetarier ist, ist es klar, dass Vegetarier noch heute teilweise belächelt werden. Es lagen benutzte Stofftücher auf der Heizung und auf dem Tresen, ein Glas war verschmutzt.... Das alles wäre ok, wenn der Preis am Ende eines Nachmittags nicht bei über 300 € läge. Satt waren wir danach auch nicht. Das Gebäude ingesamt ist sehr schön und der Blick zum Heiligensee traumhaft. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich, allerdings fragten uns 3 verschiedene Mitarbeiter alle 5 Minuten, ob alles in Ordnung sei....man kann es auch übertreiben.

Sehr zuvorkommendes Serviceteam,Küche sowieso sehr gut 👍

Sehr gelungenes Ambiente, tolles Essen ( regionale, interessant kreierte Gerichte und Getränke). Im Vergleich zu früher ein Aushängeschild für die Berlin-Brandenburgische Küche. Tolle Lage, angenehme Bedienung. Wir werden wiederkommen.

Wir waren Samstag abend dort. Ein sehr schönes Ambiente mit sehr aufmerksamen Kellnern haben das Essen zu einem unvergesslichen Abend werden lassen. Die Königsberger Klopse waren nicht nur eine Erinnerung an meine Kindheit - sie waren einfach toll!.

Service nice and easy, vorausschauende Hände ! , Weinauswahl hat mir sehr gefallen, Menue war perfekt zubereitet, leckere Alltime Fovourite Klassiker.

Sehr schöne Lage mit prima Blick zum See

Nur durch das angebotene Menü der Berliner Morgenpost für September sind wir zur Villa Kellermann gekommen und waren hellauf begeistert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass es anstatt der Weinbegleitung auch eine Variante ohne Alkohol gab. Wir werden sicher noch einmal wiederkommen...😁

Die weite Anreise zur Villa Kellermann haben wir nicht bereut. Wir wurden mit einem hervorragenden Morgenpost Menü belohnt. Das Essen war phantastisch und die Weine passten gut dazu. Der Service war kompetent und zuvorkommend. Auch das Ambiente trug zum Wohlbefinden bei. Eine klare Empfehlung für einen Besuch.

Wir durften das Morgenpostmenü genießen. Und das im wahrsten Sinn. Auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10 müssen wir hier mindestens eine 11 vergeben. Und das vor dem Hintergrund, dass auch schon das Adlon ein Menü angeboten hat. Im Vergleich war das Menü im Adlon unbefriedigend. Das Team der Villa Kellermann hat sich selbst übertroffen. Danke für diesen schönen Abend.

The location was booked for a birthday party with around 60 guests. The villa and the terrace are extraordinary. The evening reception was perfectly organised. The dinner inside was a great culinary experience with an accompanying professional service. Glasses were always refilled. the sequnece of served dishes permitted the necessary time to fully enjoy each individual course. The pre-selected wine was excellent. Based on the mixed comments that I reasd here, I was positive surprised and I can highly recommend Villa Kellermann in case you would like to enjoy a lovely evening dinner..

Wir haben im Rahmen des Morgenpostmenüs dieses Lokal besucht und waren begeistert. Die Anfahrt aus Berlin hat sich gelohnt. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt vor der Tür kennt man ja kaum noch. Gespeist haben wir im grünen Salon. Der Empfang, der Service und das Ambiente haben uns sehr gefallen. Die Zusammenstellung des Menüs hat unseren Geschmack voll getroffen und die begleitenden Weine waren perfekt darauf abgestimmt. Danke für den schönen Abend.

Un lieu magique comme il y en a peu. Nous avons eu la chance de prendre l’apéritif dehors au coucher de soleil sur le lac. C’était incroyable.

Wir waren mit Freunden zum Menü Abend dort. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, wir hatten draußen einen sehr schönen Tisch. Das Essen war überwiegend lecker und die Wein Begleitung gut gewählt. Unser Kellner war sehr nett. Einziger, unschöner Punkt und nicht passend für ein solches Restaurant: Die Suppe kam mit Koriander Reduktion (was nicht auf der Karte stand) die Mitarbeitende meinte dann, schnippisch, das schmeck man nicht…da erwarte ich eine andere Reaktion…

Die Erwartung wurde weit übertroffen! Top Küche, jeder Gang. Besonders die süßen Finale waren Kunstwerke, optisch wie geschmacklich. Das Ambiente ist ohnehin wunderschön. Wir saßen auf der Terrasse. Gute Weinauswahl. Netter Service.

Ich kenne das Haus noch aus vorherigen Zeiten. Das Haus ist phantastisch saniert, die Einrichtung ist sehr clubby. Ich hätte es klassischer etwas besser gefunden, wie auch bei der Terrassenmöbelierung. Der Gesamteindruck ist aber phenomenal, wie auch die Gartengestaltung. Wir haben sehr gut gegessen, auch wenn uns nicht jeder Gang gleichermaßen zugesagt hat. Service enorm freundlich, allerdings fachlich nicht ganz auf dem Niveau der Küche. Preis-/Leistung unschlagbar. Wir haben 250 € für 2 Personen für ein 5 Gang (mit Käse) gegessen, eine Person mit Weinbegleitung, sowie jeweils einen Aperitif. Ich finde das enorm günstig. Fazit: Merci, wir kommen wieder!

Eine große Enttäuschung. Bei den vielen Besuchen davor kam man raus mit einem sehr guten Gefühl. Alles stimmte. Große Auswahl auf der Speisekarte, netter Service und vor allem exklusives geschmackvolles Essen. Nichts von alledem ist übrig. Das Lokal ist wunderschön gelegen aber das kann nicht alles sein was man den Gästen für sehr viel Geld bietet. Mein Fischgericht (Hauptspeise) bestand aus einem Haufen Kartoffelwuerfeln und eine leicht übersehbare Spur von Scholle… Schade. Es war so eine gute Adresse für gutes exklusives Essen und nun ist es vorbei

Wir waren viele Male zu Gast und immer mit Begeisterung.Was ist aus dem exklusiven Essen von Tim Raue geworden? Wenig Auswahl an Speisen und was es gab war leider Kantinenessen Schade was aus diesem guten Restaurant geworden ist

Bereits der Empfang war sehr freundlich und liebenswert. Wir wurden zu einem sehr schönen Tisch mit freien Blick auf den See (auf Grund des tollen Wetters natürlich im Garten) gebracht. Zum Start wählten wir einen Aperitif und wählten unsere Speisen. Die Weinkarte ist sehr gut sortiert und viele Weine werden auch als offene Weine offeriert. Die Speisen waren geschmacklich sehr gut und liebevoll angerichtet. Der Service zeigte sich den ganzen Abend äußerst aufmerksam und unsere individuellen Wünsche zwecks kleiner Pausen zwischen den Gängen wurden erfüllt. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner entspannter Abend mit tollen Gerichten und sehr aufmerksamen Service.
