Schnitzelei

Schnitzelei: The Original with Attitude

The motto of Schnitzelei is simple: Be creative with classics. Anyone who experiences this in Berlin’s Mitte district quickly realizes that there is genuine conviction behind it. Great emphasis is placed on regionality and species-appropriate animal husbandry when selecting products. For example, the veal for the classic original Wiener Schnitzel comes from the Bahlmann farm in East Frisia. Bahlmann stands for complete proof of origin, group housing for calves, and exclusively self-produced feed. Rearing, slaughter, butchering, and distribution are solely in the hands of the company. You can taste the difference. All Wiener variations are served with a small bowl of homemade cucumber salad, optionally with lukewarm potato-cucumber salad or fried potatoes.

Schnitzelei Mitte: The Backyard that Satisfies Berlin Hunger

Schnitzelei Mitte is located in a quiet backyard between Novalisstraße and Chausseestraße. The restaurant impresses with a modern and cozy atmosphere, where brick walls are harmoniously combined with stained shingles and oak furniture. Despite the comfortable ambiance, the concept remains down-to-earth. In addition to the classic Wiener Schnitzel, creations such as the vegan oyster mushroom schnitzel, a boiled schnitzel, or fish as a schnitzel are created here. German tapas are also available, such as plums wrapped in bacon or savoy cabbage roulade. If you’re lucky, you’ll start the evening with a complimentary welcome beer. Every Sunday is Schnitzel Day: A Wiener Schnitzel made from Hohenlohe veal, the Wiener-style schnitzel made from Swabian-Hall pork, and the vegan oyster mushroom schnitzel then cost only 19.19 Euros. The VAT reduction is also passed on: Since January 1, 2026, a permanent 7% VAT applies to food, and Schnitzelei passes on a portion of this in the form of Golden Schnitzel Hours. It is open Monday to Saturday from 16:00, Sundays from 12:00, each until 23:00.
