1900 Cafe Bistro — Restaurant in Berlin

A nicely appointed cafe with plenty of ambience in a quiet location near Kudamm in one of the nicest areas of Berlin. Very reasonable prices throughout the menu.

Service was pretty good, and it wasn't too busy, so it was fairly easy to get a table. Unusual for Berlin, but I think the fact that they only take cash may well have a bearing on the fact it isn't as popular as some in the area.

We had lunch there and started with a cappuccino, which was average and an Americano, which was better.

As for the food. Well, it was pretty hit and miss. Pancakes were very good, the porridge was awful, the omelette was overdone, and the Strammermax (basically two fried eggs with salad) was excellent.

For the inconsistency of the food, the very average coffee, and the fact they only take cash, I can not really give this one more than a 3*, and we probably won't be back...

One star because the food is good and the interior is nice. Unfortunately they don't treat all customers equally. I was staying there for about an hour at a small table, having a big breakfast and a big cappuchino. I was still drinking it and reading a book, when they suddenly decided my table had been reserved for two ladies who just entered and that I therefore had to free the table immediately (no reservation sign and without any prior warning). They offered to put me somewhere into the dark but I chose to leave the place and I definitely won't...

The food tasted phenomenal. I had eggs Florentine. Could lick my fingers honestly. My friends were also happy with their food. The waitress is an older lady who although going through something probably serious and obviously sad managed to smile at us and be efficient with her job. We somehow paid less (but tipped enough to cover it) and were overall very happy but quite in distress. Hope the lady is ok. The food as mentioned is great and the cakes looked good. Just the staircase that leads to the bathroom can pose a difficulty as it...
