Dive into a weekend full of glitter, music, and variety magic at Wilde Matilde Berlin – the experience restaurant with the capital’s wildest chain carousel bar. Here, your Friday or Saturday evening becomes more than just a restaurant visit; it’s a journey back to old Berlin from the 1920s to 1940s.
The Magical World of Wilde Matilde
Nestled in the historic Nikolaiviertel, surrounded by the Berlin Cathedral, Palace with Humboldt Forum, and TV Tower, Wilde Matilde opens its doors to another world every weekend. Amid Rococo furniture, historic Berlin images, and the sparkling chain carousel bar, you’ll feel like you’re in a nostalgic circus dream – playful, shimmering, and cozy.
From the moment you enter, you sense the charm of an old Berlin miss telling stories from her adventurous life – between fine patisserie, nightlife, circus, and vaudeville. This blend of nostalgia, humor, and joie de vivre makes a weekend visit to Wilde Matilde truly special.
The Berlin Variety Show on Weekends
The highlight of the weekend is the Berlin Variety Show, starting every Friday and Saturday at 7 PM, transforming Wilde Matilde into a vibrant stage. While other restaurants wind down, the chain carousel bar here ramps up, serving as a stage for dancers, artists, and charming entertainers.
Experience a lively program of burlesque flair, variety arts, and nostalgic entertainment perfectly suited to Berlin’s Golden Twenties. The artists love it “screamingly colorful” – ever-changing costumes, vibrant wigs, and glamorous outfits turn every performance into a spectacle.
Music, Dance, and Good Vibes
The weekend show is a love letter to swing, jazz, chanson, and the dance culture of bygone decades. Inspired by icons like Josephine Baker, who brought the Charleston to Berlin, you’ll witness a revival of Charleston, Boogie-Woogie, Swing, Jazz, and Rock’n’Roll.
Musicians at the microphone, piano, saxophone, or turntables provide the perfect soundtrack for your evening. Sometimes they subtly underscore the action in the background; other times, they take center stage, turning the space into a small concert with infectious energy.

Add coffee specialties, ice cream delights, and sweet temptations from the in-house patisserie.
Petit fours, macarons, cakes, tortes, and more patisserie treats meet creative cocktails – “sweets for grown-ups” – mixed at the unique chain carousel bar. As you enjoy the show, colorful drinks and fine dishes are served, perfectly matching the cheerful, playful atmosphere.
