Greenhouse California Grill & Bar – American Diner

The Greenhouse in Glienicke/Nordbahn is the American diner in Berlin for Californian cuisine amidst tropical plants. The burgers are made from Hohenloher beef from Schwäbisch Hall, complemented by spare ribs and beef brisket cooked for 24 hours. Free parking is available outside on the B96, and inside, a new fireplace lounge awaits.

Greenhouse: California behind the northern city limits

The Greenhouse is located in Glienicke/Nordbahn at Oranienburger Chaussee 10, just behind Berlin’s northern city limits and directly on the B96. From Hermsdorf train station (S1 line), it’s only a few minutes by bus or bike. Free parking is available in front of the building, which is a noticeable advantage compared to downtown diner locations. The property includes two terraces, and recently, a new fireplace lounge has been added for an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap afterward. The establishment is operated by Greenhouse Gastronomie GmbH, and its logo simply states Restaurant and Bar.

Urban Jungle, Hohenloher Beef, and BBQ

Inside, everything follows the “Welcome to the Jungle” theme: tropical plants, cacti, and palm trees, warm lighting, plenty of wood, and a spatial feeling like being in a greenhouse. The cuisine describes itself as Californian with modern American influences and exclusively uses meat whose origin, breeding, keeping, and slaughter are documented. The burgers are made from premium Hohenloher beef from Schwäbisch Hall; the All American Burger with French Fries and Cole Slaw costs 19.50 Euros. Slightly larger is The Holy Trinity of BBQ, a platter with beef brisket cooked for 24 hours, pulled pork, spare ribs, and mac and cheese for 34 Euros. For dessert, there’s a Kaiserschmarren (shredded pancake) based on the recipe served at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s restaurant in Santa Monica.
