I brought some Dutch friends here who were suitable impressed by the vaulted restaurant ceiling, the allsorts collection of guests and the excellent food. At around €15 for a main course, prices are a bit above the average Berlin budget, but our European guests didn't bat an eyelid. But then in Holland, people are used to paying the same amount of money for a sad, overcooked bit of salmon... The lovely waiting staff at 3 Schwestern served me a crispy, succulent, generous piece of halibut fillet with panfried potatoes to die for instead. Other winners on their German style menu where the apple fed pork with dumplings (visions of little pigs being hand fed with mountains of juicy apples ensued) and stewed leg of lamb with a rosemary jus.
If you're on a low budget, head to the large, leafy garden out back on a summer's afternoon for tea and cake. The summer cheesecake looked a treat and I would have happily devoured it, had I not pigged out beforehand on the bread basket and zingy lemony garlic butter. Or you can take advantage of their very reasonably priced lunch menu (3 courses for €10.50). As for me... I'll be back. Next time we have guests that offer to pay for dinner, this is where we'll be going. God, I really sound like a cheapskate don't I? Sorry about that. It's the Berlin way of life.
