Schildkrote

About

The Schildkröte – officially ‘Restaurant Schildkröte’ – has stood on Berlin’s iconic Kurfürstendamm since 1936, proudly serving classic Berliner and German‑house dishes. From its charming 1940s‑style décor to its rich culinary heritage, the establishment offers a genuine taste of Berlin’s hearty cuisine. Visitors can expect a cozy, family‑friendly atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar serving local beers, and a menu featuring traditional favorites such as currywurst, schnitzel, and regional schnapps. Guests enjoy the historic ambiance and warm hospitality of owner Bernd Zeiser, with special private rooms for events. Reservations are recommended during peak visiting times such as the Messe season, but the restaurant remains open daily from noon to 11 pm.
