Hallesches Haus Store — Restaurant in Berlin

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that I must say, left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful high ceilings and cool interior design that created a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere.

But the real star of the show was the food. I tried two dishes that really stood out to me: the carrot cake and the vegan waffles. The carrot cake was simply divine, with layers of moist cake, creamy frosting, and just the right amount of spices. It was definitely one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had.

The vegan waffles were a pleasant surprise, as I'm not typically a fan of vegan food. But these waffles were light, fluffy, and had a crispy exterior that paired perfectly with the maple syrup and fresh fruit on top. They were so good that I would go back just for them!

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and the food is outstanding. Whether you're a vegan or not, you're sure to find something you'll love on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes.

While I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at this restaurant, there were a couple of things that didn't quite hit the mark for me. Firstly, I tried the banana bread and unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While it looked tempting, the flavor and texture were a bit lackluster compared to the other dishes I tried.

Additionally, while the food that I did have was delicious, I did notice that there was a limited choice of dishes on the menu. While this might not be a concern for everyone, it's worth noting for those who are looking for a wider variety of options. However, I do appreciate that the limited menu allows the chefs to focus on creating each dish to the best of their ability.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I still highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is stunning, and the dishes I tried were truly outstanding. While the banana bread wasn't my favorite, it's worth trying for yourself to see if it's to your liking. And even with the limited menu, I'm sure there's something that everyone will enjoy. Overall, I'm looking forward to visiting this...

There's something about a falling star. A few years back, this place was busier than a cleaner at an upchuck contest. The thing is, when you arrive, they'll tell you they still are. It's a classic combination of unmotivated but well meaning team, and management with as much purpose as a cadaver. We were told that they were booked out at opening at 10 am. We were told to wait in the giftshop nearby... we did so, them appealed our case to another well-meaning attendee (as opposed to the manager). A bit more negotiating, and we were seated... we had a leisurely meal, and the place was still 2/3 empty when we left... with people still being turned away for tables. Hint guys: use every seat, and give people the time that you need the seat back...get the order as you seat them down, kick the kitchen into shaking their rears, and flip those tables like a pancake at the critical moment. Some waiter training and management will make everyone happier, especially the waiters. As for the food, it was decent. Good eggs, heavy and undercooked but tasty olive oil foccacia, pickled cabbage that was fine. The €4.50 mini waffle was as lonesome as a rat with a body odour. A bit of the prescribed yoghurt and vegan caramel won't break the bank and may have us return to order that dish. As for vegan caramel as a menu item in a meat serving cafe...have it as an option..the rest of us want the caramel made with butter, please ;). I suspect vegans will be satisfied with the cardoman scrolls...those of us that can remember the flavour of butter, less so. 5 coffee saved the day...pea milk, who knew? All in all, the place is fine as an eating house, I mean Haus... treating it like a fine diner with long slots for reservations makes as much sense as...well... mandatory...

We visited Hallesches Haus for brunch on our most recent visit to Berlin. It is conveniently located right next to the Hallesches Tor station and is within the heart of Kreuzberg, an up and coming vibrant neighbourhood of Berlin.

Do not let the outside of the building deceive you! Walking down the passageway, you catch a glimpse of the wonderful outdoor dining area that is full of foliage and overhead lighting. When walking into the building you are greeted with a gift shop/store that sells a variety of products from independent suppliers and retailers.

We chose to sit indoors, the restaurant/cafe area is incredibly spacious, well lit and aesthetically pleasing. There is table service if you choose to dine in, but this was not communicated upon arrival leading to a bit of confusion, but it was not a problem.

In terms of the food, unfortunately the menu on the day we visited was very limited. We were told this was due to an event being held at the venue later in the day. Because of this, we opted to have the “Full Haus” and can gladly say this was delicious! The menu appears to change during weekdays and weekends so I would look online beforehand if you are planning a visit.

Service was quick and the prices reasonable for this area of Berlin. The staff were friendly and there was a particular English member of staff that really stood out amongst the rest in the best kind of way, unfortunately we did not get his name!

If you are in the area, I would highly recommend a visit to...
