Ciao Wannsee







Starting November 11th, Ciao Wannsee will feature the goose leg menu, served with red cabbage, dumplings, and a drink. The fact that the goose comes from an Italian kitchen here is initially surprising. It is enjoyed with a fantastic view of the water, as the terrace and garden extend to the shore.
Goose Leg Menu at Ciao Wannsee starting from St. Martin’s Day
The goose season at Ciao Wannsee begins on November 11th. St. Martin’s Day is traditionally considered the start of goose season, and the establishment adheres to this date. From this day on, the goose leg menu will be available, served including a drink. The leg comes with red cabbage and dumplings, a classic of the season. It is served crispy roasted on a flat plate, with the end of the leg in a foil sleeve. The offer runs throughout the entire goose season, making it suitable for a quiet evening during Advent, not just around the holidays. Reservations should be made early, as goose dishes are highly sought after in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This is especially true for weekend evenings, when the establishment is already well-visited. In addition to goose, a venison roast is also on the menu in winter, and a special Christmas menu is added for the holidays.
Italian Cuisine Directly by the Water in Berlin-Wannsee
Ciao Wannsee is located where Berlin transitions towards Potsdam. The establishment sees itself as an Italian restaurant, which one might not initially expect for a goose roast. However, in addition to oven-baked pizza and freshly prepared pasta, seasonal dishes are on the menu, and in winter, this includes goose. The real highlight remains the location: A red lettering lights up above the flat building, in front of which there is a covered terrace and a lawn with tables extending to the shore. Trees and water can also be seen through the windows. In summer, a beer garden is part of the establishment, using the same access and filling the address beyond the goose season. From the property, the lakeside path continues along Lake Stölpchensee and over the Hubertusbrücke to the other shore. This makes Ciao Wannsee one of the few addresses in the southwest where a goose dinner can be combined with a stroll by the water.
