Keller-Restaurant Im Brecht-Haus-Berlin

Frommer's Review

This is a dining oddity: the only restaurant in Germany located in the house of a world-famous German writer. From 1953 until his death in 1956, Bertolt Brecht lived here with his wife, Helene Weigel. Today, the building houses the Brecht-Weigel-Museum. The restaurant downstairs, with white plaster and exposed stone, is decorated with photographs of the playwright's family, friends, and theatrical productions. No one will mind if you just stop in for a glass or two of wine -- the place specializes in eastern German wines, as well as French and New World wines. Traditional south German and Austrian food is also served, such as an Austrian recipe for Fleisch Laberln, meatballs made from minced pork, beef, green beans, and bacon and served with dumplings. In good weather, the seating area includes an enclosed courtyard upstairs.
