Café Einstein Stammhaus

I googled cool places to visit in Berlin and this location came up as the actual restaurant that the scene from "Inglorious Bastards" was filmed. We were close to the cafe so decided to give it a try.
We of course ordered the Apple strudel and pumpkin soup. The pumpkin soup was delicious and the the food presentation was so appetizing. The strudel was a little dry but pretty good.
The service was really , really slow and it took awhile for us to get our order.
I would check it out. It was an interesting place for sure.

Has been closed since June 2023! Need to update please! I have to write more in order to post

Love this place! Classic, good food. Great ambiance. But now closed for refurbishment.

There are many Einstein cafes in Berlin but don't be fooled this is the one. We wanted to visit based on that infamous Apple Strudel scene from that Tarantino film.

Movies aside this place is just cool and classy. The servers know a thing or two about great service and the food, oh the food!

We ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon & onions, smoked salmon with bagel and Chicken club sandwich with Cappuccino. We shared a Chocolate Torte for dessert-amazing!

The eggs were scrambled and cooked to perfection (asked for soft scramble), chicken club was also tasty as well the Salmon. We shared a Chocolate Torte for dessert-amazing!

We got a tour of the 2nd level which has a former cigar/smoking room as well a Scotch drinking room. They will also show you the room where that famous scene was shot.

A must stop when visiting Berlin! For the food, vibe and wonderful staff.

Amazing food and ambience. This location is the original location where the infamous apple strudel scene in inglorious basterds was shot. This place however is independently famous for its food and apple strudel.
First off, the apple strudel here does not come with whipped cream like in the movie. The cream is just normal liquid cream. Nevertheless, I liked it. The apples used are crunchy and tart and not overly sweet. The schnitzel is huge, and really flattened thin and tender.

Overall, I would definitely recommend

Arrived at about 11:15 am and was told the wait time was about an hour. Boy is this place busy for a Wednesday. It's famous. Well this is my first time in Berlin, and I know I'll never return, so I definitely will wait. As soon as I'm seated I'll continue this review.

Got seated in about 15 minutes. We're a party of six. The service excelente. Took our orders quickly and professionally. They don't poach eggs, so I had mine hard boiled. Not much you can do to mess them up. Perfect. The danish, salmon and bacon great. The coffee to die for.

Great breakfast!

A must go to place.

I enjoyed a couple meals at Cafe Einstein during my trip in the patio area out back and it's easy to see why this place is so highly regarded. The food was delicious, both mornings my family did various dishes including the omelette, scrambled eggs, and set breakfasts along with excellent cafe au lait which comes as separate coffee and steamed milk to combine at the table.

The interior is nice for sense of old Berlin but having such nice weather made the back patio more attractive. The crowd is mostly German professionals with a handful of tourists mixed in. Service was kind and efficient, overall a great place to eat.

Stopped in this Berlin café in part for its use in the movie Inglorious Bastards, and their killer apple strudel. They lose a star for less than attentive service.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner here over Christmas! The restaurant is so charming and I love how they maintained the original character of the building. The service, food and drinks were all very good and the restaurant had great ambiance and a full dining room. Our favorites were the schnitzel and cold cucumber salad as well was the apple strudel.

Having gotten in to Berlin very late, I started calling around at 10pm to see who was still open for dinner. I reached the Einstein Stammhaus and they told me the kitchen closed at 11, so I rushed over.

I was seated in Dominique's area, and she was over quickly to take my order. The menu has quite an interesting variety, and I was quite famished so it was game on. Rollberger beer, a tuna ahi appetizer, and Wiener schnitzel main course.

The ahi tuna - these guys get it amazingly right. Huge chunks of tuna, seared lightly and sprinkled with sesame, served atop a mango chutney with microgreens and a balsamic glaze. Fantastic!

The schnitzel - well, I guess Dominique took me at my word when I said I wanted the large (there is a smaller option). It was wider than the dish, resting atop crispy potatoes, and with both berry garnish and lemon available to season it with. For the last dish of the night that the kitchen made, it was absolutely perfect. Exceedingly thin, breading not too thick, and very tender. Lest I forget, it also comes with a side of cucumber salad, which was both crisp and slightly herbed, with a very clean finish.

Dominique continued to be very attentive and was there whenever I needed anything, yet didn't hover over the table. The ambience is muted, with candles burning on unoccupied tables and the light turned low. With the vaulted ceilings and numerous mirrors, the place feels larger than it is, yet still intimate.

This is a great spot for dinner, and I will look forward to my next opportunity to visit.
