Fischers Fritz

I had a wonderful experience here.
Prepare for a professional and formal atmosphere, although I did see someone casually dining with a hoodie and jeans. We visited for lunch at 12:30pm on a Sunday for my 21st birthday and the restaurant was relatively empty until about 1:30-2pm, so our online reservation was probably unnecessary.

My boyfriend and I each ordered a three-course meal (47€ each) and everything was perfect! I was a big fan of the free fillers in between the courses; the assortment of bread they provide in the very beginning was delicious, but as you're most likely not visiting a two star Michelin for bread, you should be careful not to fill yourself up in the beginning.

I think for a restaurant like Fischers Fritz, you pay not only for the great food, but the dining experience as well. I left completely satisfied after a two-hour lunch and I'm happy I visited this restaurant while I was in Berlin!

As everyone has already said, the real secret to dining here while still holding onto some of your money is to come for lunch. I had a lovely experience here. They have a great online reservation system with an easy interface so I highly recommend that.

I ordered a 2 course meal for 35 euros. The main cost driver here is definitely drinks... I ordered water (stupid, should have just gotten tap water) which was 10 euros which is completely absurd, and a riesling by the glass (11 euros). The riesling was good for sure, but 11 euros for a few sips? uhhh no. Not a fan.

For the meal itself, I ordered the onsen egg because I've never had one before and the skate wing. Both were excellent and I was more than pleased. My favorite part of the meal was definitely the amuse bouche though--always fun for me. When I went, it was an asparagus puree with king prawn mmmm delicious. The onsen egg was great--I didn't know what it was which is why I ordered it. It turned out to basically be a soft boiled egg that was fried on the outside. I don't even want to imagine how difficult that probably is to cook. It was on top of a potato puree with various mushrooms mixed in and then complemented with a nice lobster bisque. Great starter.

My main course was the skate wing which I've always never had before and I'm definitely a fan after this meal. Perfectly cooked and really well-seasoned, I was really pleased with it.

The service is precisely what you would expect from your standard double MIchelin. They were there when they needed to be and not there when they didn't need to. They were knowledgable about the food, and just polite and friendly. I am quite the fan.

Definitely a little torn on the rating here. For sure 5-star food but the drinks tab is really ridiculous, and I wasn't mind blown by anything here. When I go to a double or triple Michelin, I'm really looking to have my mind-blown. Everything is great here, but nothing is spectacular or anything.

tldr; if you want to experience a double michelin for a cheaper price, come at lunch for a very reasonably priced lunch menu; avoid getting water though unless you want to dump 10 euros for it!

Two star Michelin restaurant.

Impeccable service (although we did make one waiter laugh).

Delicious, beautifully prepared food.

I had the lobster with coriander. (US folks, this is the herb cilantro, not the seed that we usually associate with "coriander".) Personally, I feel that the best way to eat lobster is with melted butter. I was willing to take a chance with this preparation and found it to be divine. The lobster was perfectly tender, and the herb butter a delicate compliment.

I forget what else we had because the lobster was so good.

And I loved this wine: Sauvignon Blanc II, Von Winning 2014.

As someone that is allergic to fish, I still feel satisfied as hell. Excellent service.

I'm going to start by letting you all in on a secret:
COME FOR LUNCH!

The lunch menu (Tageskarte) is incredibly reasonably-priced (günstig). 2 courses for 35 Euros, 3 courses for 47 Euros. Wine by the glass is very reasonable, and as I learned to my surprise, champagne by the glass is not.

The FOOD: Ausgezeichnet! (it's a great German word that means excellent).
~~Course 1: Green mango with grilled Lisette mackerel balm-yoghurt. (there translations can be slightly awkward). Let me just say that who knew how amazing the lowly mackerel could taste. Perfect mix of acid and flavor.

~~Course 2: Iceland salmon trout (Lachsforelle...I'm not sure on this translation) girolles and green pea emulsion. The green pea emulsion was spooned over the dish tableside. I've never had this fish, but I'm ready to go to Iceland to fish for it again...it was that good.

~~Course 3: Pudding of passion fruit and star anise, warm foam of macadamia nuts and iced cardamom cacao. Simply worth a trip to Berlin for this. I knew I'd love the passion fruit, but who knew how amazing the last two components could be.

In addition, we got a bonus experimental panna cotta between the 2 courses, the amuse bouche at the start, and an obscene amount of mignardises at the end.

SERVICE: Absolutely impeccable. They were there when you wanted them and not there when you didn't. Friendly, but not too casual. They've been trained. If you have a question about the food, they can answer it or find out. Of course at the 2 Michelin star level, it's a bit ridiculous...most places just fold your napkin and put it back when you use the restroom...here they bring you a whole new napkin.

AMBIANCE: Very pleasant. Classy without being fussy. I enjoyed that I could eat here without worrying too much about dressing up. Maybe at dinner, I would be a bit dressier, but I came straight from the Pergamon in jeans and a button up and felt totally comfortable.

OVERALL, this was one of my best eating experiences ever...and at a very reasonable price. So follow my tip and give this a try at lunch.

A beautiful restaraunt and beautiful meal. Service was everything you'd expect form a two michelin star restaraunt. I really enjoyed this dining experience.

I came through a business set menu so not your normal experience here but still lovely meal selections.

The food, service , venue, and all other elementsof dinning set this place to be a great worth for 40 something euro during lunch menu!

Gourmet Food with old fashioned service. It is Fischer's Fritz! There is nothing to complain about!

We had a five course meal with vegetables, fish and lamb. It was very well cooked.

The wine was chosen by vinservant and was a perfect fit.

Price level - high.

Went to this beautiful fine dining restaurant. The service was outstanding and I really enjoyed the little treats we revived as an extra bonus. The reason the rating is only 4 stars is that my expectations were high and even if all of the dishes was really tasty none of them delivered a taste sensation. That said it IS a great restaurant and worth a visit, please note that the review regards the lunch menu.

I've been to fischers fritz several times and would always go back.


Excellent food, knowledgeable sommeliers and superb service, an example being that on my first visit, I wandered in wearing jeans, track shoes and without a reservation as I had spontaneously decided that I wanted some gourmet food, like right now.
The staff not even for a second made me feel uncomfortable about my very casual attire despite it being dinner time. I have always experienced the staff as very friendly and extremely professional, if perhaps with varying degrees of experience as they are quite a young bunch. This went to the extent that, during one visit, my shoulders were getting uncomfortably cold from the air conditioning and after seating me elsewhere (which did not help much) they went looking for, and found, a scarf for me.


The food is superb and you can get a three course lunch menu for EUR45, which is not bad for a two-star restaurant. If you go for dinner be prepared to pay much more but do go there if you can, you won't regret it.


I once had the (6 course) prestige menu with corresponding wines and walked out feeling as though I had spent the evening in a spa after four hours of great food, good wine and superb service. Just thinking about it makes me want to book a flight to Berlin :)
