The Century-Old German Restaurant You Didn't Know About 🍻

Dicke Wirtin! In the Charlottenburg district, close to the Berlin University of the Arts, there's a century-old establishment run by a friendly, plump auntie, aptly named "Dicke Wirtin." It used to be particularly popular among students who loved to eat and drink here, and it's well-known in the area. It's almost a hundred years old, and the prices remain affordable. There's no fuss or anything un-Berlin about it. To experience the most authentic traditional German cuisine in Berlin, this restaurant is a must-visit! Dining here feels like enjoying a hearty family meal at "grandma's house," leaving a lasting impression. The old-fashioned decor is very characteristic of Berlin, and the cozy atmosphere combined with friendly service is no wonder why it always attracts many locals for meals, where you can see the waitstaff greeting guests like old friends～This is the true German experience! 💥 Signature Recommendations: Berlin-style boiled pork knuckle (Eisbein), fried pork or chicken schnitzel (huge in size), and traditional dishes like liver with fried onions and apples are all cooked to perfection, with a simple and authentic flavor! They also have a variety of draft beers and German-style beers. I particularly love their homemade fried potato chips, meatballs, and crispy, freshly fried pork cutlets, even the curry sausage sauce has a genuine old-school taste! Dessert recommendations include their homemade "cold dog" and "cool cat" (with dark chocolate replaced by white chocolate), rich and sweet, a rare old German dessert found in few restaurants! 🌟 Generous Portions and Affordable Prices: This restaurant offers ample portions and great value, recognized by locals as a heart restaurant. Berliners return periodically, and the quality and taste remain consistent, truly reliable! ❗️ A small suggestion: As someone who prefers bold flavors, I found the saltiness of each dish to be inconsistent, but that's just personal preference! If they could replace the pre-meal bread with sourdough, it would be perfect! ⏰ Highly recommended to reserve in advance: Even if you live far away, it's worth the 40-minute trip. You'll definitely not regret this visit! When I was in school, I always took out-of-town friends here, a heart guarantee of quality and non-touristy! For weekend dinners, it's best to make a reservation by phone! They accept card payments! #BerlinFoodExploration #TraditionalGermanCuisine #GermanRestaurant #BerlinCuisine #GermanFood #BerlinPorkKnuckle #GermanBeerGarden #BerlinRestaurantRecommendation #BerlinRestaurants #CenturyOldGermanRestaurant
