Restaurants in Potsdam

  1. A

    Restaurant Uhlmann

    Located in an 18th-century pottery workshop, this restaurant is a luscious port of call for modern German fare. The menu, sourced from farm-fresh ingredients, changes frequently but may feature such inspired concoctions as rabbit with a kohlrabi-chanterelle salad, or quail paired with ratatouille and basil polenta.

    Maison Charlotte

    There's a rustic lyricism to the French country cuisine in this darling Dutch Quarter bistro, no matter whether your appetite runs towards a simple Flammkuchen (Alsatian pizza), Breton fish soup or a full four-course menu (€45). Budget bon vivants come for the daily lunch special: €7.50, including a glass of wine.

    Meierei im Neuen Garten

    The Berlin Wall once ran right past this brewpub that's especially lovely in summer when you can count the boats sailing on the Jungfernsee from your beer-garden table. The hearty dishes are a perfect match for the delicious Helles and seasonal suds brewed on the premises. Service can be challenged on busy days.

    Zum Fliegenden Holländer

    The name is apropos for this Dutch Quarter restaurant, with its traditional blue-and-white Delft tiles, wood-burning fireplace and historic etchings. The kitchen prefers no-nonsense German fare to culinary flights of fancy.

    Ristorante Massimo 18

    Massimo 18 specialises in robust southern Italian cucina. From wafer-thin carpaccio to mounds of linguine with lobster, and locally sourced roast lamb with rosemary potatoes, it's all lip-smacking good.

    Lehmofen

    This smart Turkish place is a world away from your average doner shop, serving dishes from its eponymous clay oven. Service can be slow, though. Enter through the Stadtpalais or the Karstadt department store.

    El Puerto

    It's fiesta time at this restaurant right in the newly revamped Potsdam harbour. Sit amid soaring palm trees, sangria in hand, tapas on the table, and watch the boats bopping in the breeze.

    Pfeffer & Salz

    This Italian eatery stands out for its authenticity. All noodles are homemade daily, the antipasti selection is mouth-watering and the pizza comes crispy-hot from the wood-fired oven.

    Drachenhaus

    Right in Park Sanssouci, the exotic Dragon House is a Chinese miniature palace inspired by the Ta-Ho pagoda in Canton. It now houses a pleasant cafe-restaurant serving coffee, homemade cakes and regional cuisine, in summer beneath a tree canopy.
