Der Schmarrnkaiser

In the heritage-listed Arminius Market Hall in Moabit, Der Schmarrnkaiser serves classic Viennese home cooking with true Alpine character. Goulash, Schnitzel, and the namesake Kaiserschmarrn meet an atmosphere that briefly transports Berlin to Vienna.

Der Schmarrnkaiser in the Arminius Market Hall

Austrian cuisine rarely comes directly from a market stall in Berlin. Der Schmarrnkaiser is located in the historic, heritage-listed Market Hall 10 on Arminiusstrasse and is by no means easy to overlook: The atmosphere of the old market hall practically carries the restaurant. Although the small, authentic Austrian restaurant is somewhat hidden in the market hall, those who find it will return. At Schmarrnkaiser, the name says it all: In addition to fluffy-sweet Kaiserschmarrn with plum compote, there are all sorts of other delicacies from Austria and neighboring countries. You can immediately taste that the cooking here is fresh and made with conviction.

Wiener Schnitzel, Roasted Onion Sirloin, and Berlin’s Best Kaiserschmarrn

The menu is small but well-conceived. Viennese Goulash, Boiled Beef with Horseradish, hearty Roasted Onion Sirloin, and for vegetarians, homemade Spinach Potato Noodles in Walnut Oil make every Austria fan’s heart beat faster. In addition, there’s what makes Der Schmarrnkaiser the talk of the town: The Kaiserschmarrn at the end of an evening is simply fantastic: fluffy, caramelized, and prepared with much love. The wine selection also fits the concept: A carefully chosen, Alpine-inspired wine selection, from Grüner Veltliner to Zweigelt, accompanies the small, refined menu. Those who are vegetarian or vegan will also find suitable options. With its fresh cuisine, the Austrian restaurant caters to young and old, vegetarians and vegans alike. Reservations are especially recommended on weekends, as it is open Mondays to Fridays from 17:00 and Saturdays from 12:00.
