La Cantine d'Augusta Käse Restaurant & Wein Bar — Restaurant in Berlin

We had a bad experience that just ruined the occasion for us. When booking I requested a private table as I knew the place was small and they only had a couple and I wanted to avoid the high tables. My husband and I were celebrating, which I did mention in the request, and wanted to do the whole entrée, main and dessert. We were so excited for some charcuterie, foie gras, cheese, creme brulee etc.

We got there and got the high table, asked to switch, but couldn't. There were only 6 people at the place so they were just rude. My back really can't handle these high tables as I am not tall and can't get the support I desperately need. Well for me that already ruined the experience and the evening. We decided to eat quickly and leave, boy was that a bad call.

The beer was great (my favourite), service extremely nice and the fondue could have been better, not at the same level as in the Alps but better than Paris. The star is for the service, but cannot give more as it really ruined the celebration and my back, badly. No amount of good beer and food could have saved this. Our expectations were met with a huge slap in the face.

As the evening goes by and my back gets worse, the more I regret staying and despise this place even more. We should have just left. To me this is the worst place ever, will never go again. Should really understand that even the slightest things can really make a huge difference. I would never recommend this place.

Edit. My husband asked a table that was meant for two people, could have never fit 4 and no one dined there the whole time we...

A gem if you reserve weeks in advance and get a table which is in the back. I really really love this place however we felt not so comfortable. Yes, we booked late, fair enough, but we sat right next to the till and where staff discussed orders. On the bar seated it's bearable for a couple of hours with a fondue and a couple of drinks. This French gem provides amazing cheeses, Raclette, fondue, cheese and charcuterie platters and more. Good to know it has food options for every type of purse and budget. You are also invited to drink wine by the glass. The food is very good quality, the wines interesting. We enjoyed the Malbec and the oven melted cheese with salad and sausage. Next door they have their bottle shop and the overall staff is really really helpful, and want to make your stay comfortable. They work really well together. I absolutely liked it but for us it was the backaching in those chairs, and we spent 150 euros. For that, we would expect, yes, expect, a table at some point during the night. If this place would find a bigger space to host more tables comfortably so you don't have to try to speak on top of each other, or be right in the conversation of the next table next to you, then those would be a magnet for wine and cheese lovers. Thanks for the good...

Food Quality: was not happy with the fondue. The charcuterie and cheese boards looked very appealing, but the cheese fondue is not a strength here. Cheese felt like it was watered down too much, and we were given stale bread for it. When we asked, they said that the hard bread was for fondue. Never have i ever had hard bread served with fondue before.

Portions: it was a decent amount of cheese.

Drinks: options of wines to pair with the cheeses and regular softdrinks.

Price: $$-$$$ a bit pricy for what i felt was not a real cheese fondue. Have had much better.

Service: staff was friendly. Always ready to assist. Except when requesting fresh bread. It was given, but with an attitude.

Atmosphere: cozy cute place.

Highlights: im sure the other non fondue plates are very good. They looked amazing.

Things to improve: bread and fondue need work. Chocolate volcano would pair much better with some vanilla ice-cream.
