There are eleven function rooms for private entertaining or business events, and the modern atrium lobby is an impressive setting for balls, fashion shows and unforgettable launches.

(153 Kantstrasse in Berlin, Germany)

Ottenthal restaurant is a little bit of Austria in the midst of western Berlin near theatres, museum...s and the Kurfurstendamm. Proprietor Arthur Schneller is a devotee of both classic and modern Austrian cuisine and he is happy to present it here in charming surroundings accompanied by the finest of Austrian wines. The dishes have been gleaned from traditional Austrian dishes, refined for today’s palate. Dishes might include carpaccio of filet of beef and veal with mushrooms and freshly grated grana cheese, roasted filet of pike-perch on lobster sauce with saffron risotto and young chard, and classic Sachertorte. The dining room, too, is a contemporary interpretation of a country Austrian inn, but without the twee detailing. Very smart. The wine list runs to two hundred fifty Austrian wines which are also for sale in the shop. Pavement tables beacon in warm weather and there are enticing vegetarian choices always on the menu. Upon arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 6pm - 1am [moreless]
