Österelli

Österelli: Wiener Schnitzel in Berlin that rivals Vienna

Those looking for original Wiener Schnitzel in Berlin will find it on Bismarckstraße in Charlottenburg. Österelli is located near Ernst-Reuter-Platz and appears almost inconspicuous from the outside. But whoever opens the door immediately understands why a reservation is strongly recommended. Österelli impresses with a perfectly crispy Wiener Schnitzel made from tender veal. The breading puffs up golden brown from the meat, exactly as it should be. It comes with classic potato-cucumber salad, an indispensable part of Austrian cuisine. The traditional preparation is particularly appreciated by guests familiar with Alpine cuisine.

Julia Gockeln and her husband Andreas Hauke, who hails from Linz, run Österelli together and host their guests with palpable passion. They source the chopped Grammel directly from Austria. And it shows.

Modern Alpine Cuisine without Heaviness

The authentic Austrian restaurant focuses on modern Alpine cuisine without the heaviness of the country house style. On the menu, you’ll find not only Wiener Schnitzel but also truffled Cordon Bleu and Kaiserschmarrn. It’s also worth checking out the dumpling selection: spinach, truffle, and beetroot dumplings, as well as a seasonal menu, ensure there’s something new to discover with every visit. Instead of rustic Alpine decor and wood-paneled walls, there are Flowerpot lamps by Verner Panton, chairs by Hans Wegner, and light marble tables. Österelli thus proves that Austrian cuisine in Berlin can also be visually up-to-date. Three courses without drinks cost around 40 Euros per person, which is absolutely fair for this quality.
