Wartesaal

Right next to the Theater des Westens, on Charlottenburg's bustling Kantstraße, the Wartesaal combines historical train station ambiance with down-to-earth cuisine from an open charcoal grill. The lunch menu is affordable, and the setting for a business meal is pleasantly discreet.

Where Business Meals Meet History: The Wartesaal

Those looking for a business lunch in Charlottenburg that doesn’t smell of canteen charm will sooner or later end up at Kantstraße 10. The Wartesaal bears its name for a reason: the centerpiece of the former train waiting room is an open beech wood grill, on which certified organic meat from regional rearing is prepared over blazing flames. In addition, there are crispy, stone-baked pizzas and exquisite pasta variations. The meat comes from sustainable farming: it’s sourced from the gourmet manufactory Gut Klepelshagen in the Uckermark, where pasture-raised cattle graze outdoors all year round. According to guests, the Truffle Tagliatelle, grilled burgers, stone oven pizza, and risotto with salmon and lobster sauce are particularly popular.

Business Lunch at Wartesaal: Atmosphere, Price, and Practice

The Business Lunch is available Monday to Friday from 11:30 to 15:00, except on public holidays. You can choose from pizza, pasta, and salad menus, each including a soft drink for 11.50 Euros. For those who prefer something heartier, the Business Lunch menu also features dishes such as pike-perch fillet with hazelnut vinaigrette and basmati rice or a sirloin steak with herb butter and French fries. The interior provides the perfect setting: the atmosphere is considered relaxed and cozy despite the size of the establishment, with high ceilings, paintings on the walls, and round chandeliers. Additionally, the Wartesaal offers corporate events of all kinds with up to 130 seats, exclusively if desired. The nearest S-Bahn station Zoologischer Garten is only 169 meters away, making the commute to business lunches short for colleagues from across the city area.
