Craving hearty German cuisine with a playful Berlin twist? Wilde Matilde in Nikolaiviertel serves classic recipes from the city’s soul – schnitzel, sauerbraten, and heavenly hausgemachte cakes – all enjoyed amid carousel bar cocktails and variety show excitement. Come taste tradition elevated to unforgettable dining.
Hearty Classics from Berlin’s Heart
Wilde Matilde celebrates German culinary heritage with dishes that warm the soul and spark nostalgia. Golden Wiener schnitzel arrives crisp with lingonberry jam and buttery potatoes, while sauerbraten slow-cooked in dark beer gravy melts beside red cabbage and knödel. Berliner eisbein (pork knuckle) shines crackling-crisp, paired with sauerkraut and senf – pure comfort for cold evenings.
Rheinischer sauerbraten or schwäbische maultaschen add regional flair; vegetarians love käsespätzle with caramelized onions or seasonal champignonschnitzel. Every plate reflects quality ingredients and time-honored techniques, served family-style for sharing during the pre-show buzz.
Breakfast, Brunch & All-Day German Goodness
Start mornings with Berliner Frühstück: fresh pretzels, cheeses, cold cuts, quark with jam, and gutes Brot – or dive into full German breakfast with wurst, eggs, and kartoffelpuffer. Brunch elevates with onion tart, farmer’s quiche, and apple strudel slices. Lunch brings daily Mittagstisch specials like gulaschsuppe or lentil stew with speck. Dinner menu rotates seasonal gems: Berlin currywurst elevated with gourmet fries, or rinderroulade stuffed with bacon and pickles – perfect timing before the 7 PM variety show kicks off.
Hausgemachte Patisserie: The Sweet German Finish
No German meal completes without sweets from our in-house konditorei. Black Forest torte layers chocolate sponge, cherries, and whipped cream; apple cake bubbles with cinnamon streusel; Frankfurter kranz drips rum buttercream under toasted nuts. At €5.70 per slice, daily specials include bienenstich (honey-almond cake), pfeffernüsse, or lecker leberknödel. Custom tortes for birthdays feature messages in marzipan – the perfect showtime surprise as acrobats swing overhead.
