Ottenthal

Ottenthal: Austria in the Heart of Charlottenburg

A piece of Austria without alpine kitsch, in the heart of Berlin. That is exactly what Ottenthal is. You’ll look in vain for unnecessary frills here; instead, quality counts in every detail. The restaurant is named after a small wine-growing community in Lower Austria, the hometown of owner Arthur Schneller. Those who enter Kantstraße 153 immediately notice: Austrian culinary culture is not just quoted here, but lived. Guests are welcomed in a warm atmosphere, with soft baroque music playing in the background. As a reminder of the village it’s named after, the original clockwork from its church tower even hangs in the restaurant. This is not decor for decor’s sake, but a genuine expression of an attitude.

The Original Wiener Schnitzel at Ottenthal

Those who order the Original Wiener Schnitzel here get Austrian culinary history on a plate. The Original Wiener Schnitzel is prepared from veal loin of regional German origin and served with potato and lamb’s lettuce salad. It costs 33.50 Euros. Freshly prepared and predominantly from regional products, the house’s Wiener Schnitzel enjoys great popularity. The Schnitzel arrives crispy and tender, and the accompanying potato salad is light and pleasantly sour. In addition, it’s also worth taking a look at the other classics on the menu: Austrian dishes like Tafelspitz meet seasonal creations that keep the offering fresh. If you still have room after the main course, you shouldn’t miss the homemade pastries. A reservation is recommended, as Ottenthal is no longer an insider tip.
