Weyers Restaurant — Restaurant in Berlin

Lovely setting in beautiful square around Ludwigskirche. Rather uncouth blond female attendant announced that our reserved table 08Aug.2020 wasn’t available, no explanation or apology offered. 1/3 of the tables w reservation signs were unoccupied.

Tender throughout and not a gramme of fat to be seen. Just perfect. My wife had another house special, the Wienerschnitzel. Again faultless : a plateful of thin tenderness. I have never bothered to praise Weyers before, but I should have done. We have been there many times and never been...
