Max und Moritz

Kreuzberg


The patina of yesteryear hangs over this ode-to-old-school gastropub, named for the cheeky Wilhelm Busch cartoon characters. Since 1902, it has packed hungry diners and thirsty drinkers into its rustic tile-and stucco-ornamented rooms for sudsy homebrews and granny-style Berlin fare. A menu favourite is the Königsberger Klopse (veal meatballs in caper sauce).
