In the heart of Berlin\u2019s old town, Wilde Matilde combines traditional German and DDR cuisine with a playful circus ambience and its famous Kettenkarussell\u2011Bar. Historic city photos, pink armchairs and chandeliers create the feeling of an Altberliner Wohnzimmer, while the kitchen serves original recipes \u201cwie bei Oma\u201d updated with quality ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Original DDR\u2011J\u00e4gerschnitzel the Berlin way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One highlight of the taste of East Germany at Wilde Matilde is the Original DDR\u2011J\u00e4gerschnitzel, listed proudly on the menu among other main dishes. Instead of a classic meat cutlet, thick slices of Jagdwurst are breaded, fried until golden and served with tomato sauce and hearty sides \u2013 exactly how generations remember it from school canteens and holiday camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soljanka \u2013 warming soup classic on the menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For guests who want to start with something warming, the menu includes Original DDR\u2011Soljanka, a spicy, sour soup with sausage, peppers, tomatoes and pickles. This cult favourite from the East appears as part of Wilde Matilde\u2019s traditional German kitchen, giving tourists and locals an authentic taste of GDR home cooking in a central, comfortable setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alt\u2011Berliner and DDR flavours side by side<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The taste of East Germany at Wilde Matilde is framed by other German house\u2011cooking hits: Wiener Schnitzel, K\u00f6nigsberger Klopse \u201cErich\u2011Style\u201d, Berlin\u2011style currywurst, band noodles, salads, burgers and steaks. This mix lets guests build a table full of classics \u2013 some from the DDR, some from old Prussian and Berlin traditions \u2013 while enjoying view lines to the TV Tower, Cathedral and Schloss\/Humboldt Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sweet DDR nostalgia from the in\u2011house patisserie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After savoury DDR dishes, Wilde Matilde\u2019s hauseigene Konditorei continues the nostalgia with tortenklassiker from German baking tradition. The cake list reads like a patisserie museum: Schwarzw\u00e4lder Kirschtorte, traditionelle Sacher Torte, Frankfurter Kranz, Omas Apfeltarte, Blueberry Cheesecake, Gugelhupf, Karottenkuchen, Petit Fours, Macarons and many more \u2013 all baked fresh in the Nikolaiviertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfect for tourists discovering East\u2011Berlin history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Wilde Matilde lies between Museum Island, Alexanderplatz and the DDR\u2011themed sights of Mitte, it is an ideal stop for visitors who want to taste history as well as see it. After exploring Berlin\u2019s past in museums or at the Wall memorials, guests can sit down here and experience DDR K\u00fcche Berlin in a fun, relaxed environment with friendly service and, on weekends, a colourful Variet\u00e9\u2011Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to enjoy the taste of East Germany at Wilde Matilde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To savour the taste of East Germany at Wilde Matilde, guests simply book a table for lunch, dinner or the weekend dinner show via the reservation contact.
