Wir kochen traditionelle hausgemachte Klassiker wie Königsberger Klopse, Sauerbraten, Kassler, Fischstäbchen, Thüringer Klößchen und einige andere Gerichte, welche alle in der Mitte des Tisches zum Teilen serviert werden.

Wilmersdorf

About the restaurant

Welcome to SUPER - your boozy breakfast place in the suburban jungle of Wilmersdorf - where the Volkspark kisses the Bundesallee. SUPER is not only our breakfast menu with pan-European, North African and Oriental influences, but also our aperitivi, our service, the SUPER playlist and the vibe. Don't get this wrong: We're not claiming to be perfect. Nevertheless, our focus is clearly on giving you and your friends a great time so that you always leave us with a SUPER big smile. ( ... and come back, of course) We look forward seeing you. Max, Steve and the SUPER gang.

Charlottenburg

About the restaurant

A piece of Austria without Alpine kitsch in the middle of Berlin - that's Ottenthal. Unnecessary frills are avoided here and quality in details and consistency is sought. The restaurant is named after a small wine-growing village in Lower Austria. This is located 60 km west of Vienna and is the hometown of the owner Arthur Schneller. The diverse, tasty cuisine as well as the seasonal, loving decorations have their origins there. WE ARE AIR CONDITIONED!
We look forward to your visit, the Ottenthalers!

Been here twice for a celebration meal with my family. The service is great, the staff are always helpful and kind. We were a big group with kids, and it went well. The starters, drinks, and sushi are always on point. We are never disappointed. Great place to come for a special occasion and have a magnificent meal 🍣🥟🌟

Charlottenburg

About the restaurant

Das Ngo Kim Pak ist eine urbane Interpretation des koreanisch und japanischen Street Food Lifestyles. Es soll an die laute, grelle und freie Atmosphäre eines pojangmacha (Straßenbude typisch in Südkorea) oder an die lockere Trinkkultur eines izakayas erinnern. Die Gäste sollen die Tische mit kleinen Speisen voll haben und dabei eiskalten Reiswein oder Schnaps trinken. Ein get together von menschen jeden alters die sich nach der Arbeit hier versammeln können oder so einfach in ihr Wochenende starten. Die Karte ist daher voll von vielen kleinen Tapas artigen Speisen geschmückt, inspiriert durch die typischen Gerichte die man sonst auch in Korea oder Japan finden würde. Im Laden stehen zwei große Kühlschränke voll mit Soju (Reisschnaps) und lustigen, bunten Getränken aus Asien. Die vielen Neon Lichter sollen die Gesichter der Gäste bunt schmücken und ein schrilles feeling vermitteln. Es soll ein Ort sein den man mit Freunden erlebt, begleitet vom guten Essen und lauter Kpop Musik.

We were served prompt and efficient by a very friendly lady. Table was cleaned after our starters when they cleared the table. We had a very nice evening. Starters were so good that we thought of only eating starters, but main courses were also very good. Thank you.

About the restaurant

Next to the beautiful terrace the pantry offers a cosy feeling with its comfortable brown leather seats. Artists such as Tina Winkhaus and original oil paintings from Aldo Christofaro and Paul Maier-Pfau create a relaxed atmosphere.
The cuisine surprises with Iberian- Pacific dishes.
All products are regional sourced as taste and freshness is very important for the Pantry offering healthy dishes with international flair.

The Pantry team is looking forward to your visit.
