Café Restaurant Jolesch

I feel compelled to leave a review because given all the things that have already been posted here so far, and the wide range of opinions on display, we went to eat there with a slight case of cold feet.

Well, simply put, we really liked the schnitzel, which is great because that's what we came for. We both ate the "regular" veal schnitzel, not knowing what to expect from the viennese-style one made out of pork, so I can't say anything about this one.

The veal schnitzel is crisp with a very tender and slim meat. I wonder what people calling it "chewy" or "dry" were served. Maybe a bad night for the cook? It was not our experience. It was delicious and huge, yes, I was about to forget, it's pretty much one a half schnitzel. If you want to taste something different, I think it's OK to just order one schitzel and take another dish that you can share for an expanded experience.

As for the cons, in rapid fire: the Spritz was a bit bland (too much water is my guess), you have to pay for the sides (cucumber salad for my wife and roast potatoes for me, both good but a bit expensive at around €5 a pop, and you also pay €1.50 for the jam to go with the meat).

With that said, the place is quite cozy and classy, the service was alright, maybe not the warmest but I believe it's the Berlin way.

To sum up, I would recommend if you have a few euros to spare (around 35€ per person). 4 stars, I'll probably come again if I'm around some day!

Polite and professional service, incredible food! We had the schnitzel with potatoes / cucumber salad and the goulash and the portions were so generous and everything tasted delicious. We did save some space for dessert, the strudel with ice cream was so yummy. The highlight for me was the alcohol free cocktails which were actually tasty and thoughtfully made. Very nice touch. This is comfort food done right. Bravo 👏

This is by far the best Schnitzel restaurant I’ve ever had in Berlin so far. The service was also impeccable, they go over and beyond from their recommendations to preparing our meals fast and efficient. I highly recommend anyone visiting or living in Berlin to try Jolesch👌

Wonderful food, brought back memories of Vienna. The staff was fantastic!

It's a bit dark and warmly decorated. We felt welcome and comfortable. We had the Viennese goulash, ham schnitzel, and apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. The flavours were wonderful, the meat tender, LARGE portions... very friendly and helpful staff. We even tried the espresso martini - which was surprisingly delicious. We will definitely take friends and family.
I would recommend a reservation, it was quite busy.

Exquisit atmosphere, delicious food, excellent and hospitable service. A perfect place to celebrate a good occasion. I can fully recommend it.

We had a lovely meal at Jolesch. The food was phenomenal - hard to pick a favorite from the table but the goulash is not to be missed. The wine menu was filled with great options and prices. Tu, our server, was the cherry on top. Thank you for the friendly and wonderful service! Will certainly return on our next visit to Berlin.
