The Viennese classic done the traditional way. The kitchen uses thin-pounded veal, breads it by hand, and fries in clarified butter until golden. The crust crackles when you cut into it, and the meat stays tender underneath. Diners consistently mention it as one of the best schnitzels in Berlin.
Tips from diners
Order with a fresh lemon squeeze tableside—it makes a difference in flavor brightness.
One of the most hearty German dishes. Spreewirtschaft's version cooks low and slow until the meat is tender enough to fall from the bone and the skin crackles. The size is serious—this is food meant to anchor a meal and stay with you.
Tips from diners
Order one haxe for 2 people—the portions are enormous and meant for sharing.
Berlin's signature street food, done right. The sausage is grilled until the skin snaps, and the curry-ketchup sauce is balanced—not too sweet, with a peppy spice background. It's the kind of casual food that restaurants usually rush.
Tips from diners
Grab currywurst at the counter if you want to eat standing up—perfect for a quick lunch.
An Austrian dessert that's part pancake, part soufflé. The kitchen makes it fresh to order—the batter is cooked, then torn into pieces and finished until the edges caramelize. It arrives at the table still steaming.
Tips from diners
Save room for this—it's the kind of dessert worth coming back for on its own.
A classic Prussian dish that rarely appears on modern menus. The meatballs are dense with aromatics, and the sauce is silky and anchovy-forward. It's comfort food that tastes like it came from a grandmother's kitchen.
Tips from diners
This is a traditional dish—if you want to understand Berlin's food history, order it.
Spreewirtschaft opened on Mühlenstraße overlooking the Spree and the iconic East Side Gallery. The kitchen serves seasonal German and Austrian classics—Wiener Schnitzel, Königsberger Klopse, Haxen—alongside house-made desserts like Kaiserschmarrn. They brew their own Spreewirtschafts Bier on-site. The location is prime: on Uber Platz with a spacious outdoor terrace that fills in summer.
Request a terrace table when booking—the Spree river view and East Side Gallery backdrop are part of the experience.
Book ahead for dinner or weekend lunch. The terrace fills up quickly in warm weather.
The house-brewed Spreewirtschafts Bier pairs perfectly with the food. Try it with the schnitzel or haxe.
