About this spot
Mutzenbacher serves as a reliable international stopover in Friedrichshain where the menu shifts daily based on market availability, so you might find fresh trout or seasonal vegetables alongside their signature schnitzel. The kitchen prioritizes speed and consistency over pretension, making it an ideal spot for travelers who want a hearty, no-nonsense meal without the Berlin tourist trap markup.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Tagesgericht' (daily special) to see exactly what ingredients the chef has sourced that morning.
- Ask for extra bread or potatoes if you are hungry, as portions of the daily specials can be surprisingly small.
- Grab a quick coffee at the counter rather than taking a seat if you only have 15 minutes before your next train.
