About this spot
In Friedrichshain's Alt Stralau neighborhood, Schwarze Heidi serves massive portions of melted cheese fondue and Rösti that feel like a hearty hug from Switzerland. Locals flock here for the rustic wood-fired atmosphere and the option to dip crusty bread or boiled potatoes directly into the bubbling cauldron.
💡 Tips before you go
- Bring your own bread if you want to avoid the house price-upcharge on the loaf, as they sell it separately by the slice.
- Order the 'Fondue mit Alles' for a complete meal that includes Rösti and pickles alongside the cheese dip.
- Save room for the chocolate fondue at the end; it is thick enough to coat a spoon but sweet enough to pair with the salty cheese.
