Food Quality: a very nice combination of flavours. The menu offers a few interesting options for brunch. I was very satisfied and happy with my dish. Portions: variable. I was happy with my selection, but other people at the table felt that their dish was lacking a bit more. Drinks: typical brunch options. Good coffee. Unfortunately Mors is only available during the summer. Price: $$$ a bit higher than regular spots. Service: in general friendly, but we felt a bit neglected. There was a weird vibe. Atmosphere: during winter its a bit difficult to get a table and can end up squashed in a smaller table just to get out of the cold. Highlights: the food is quite delicious. During summer the outside terrace seems like a nice spot to chill. Things to improve: Mors all year round, and staff to be a bit more pro-active and attentive.

Food, service, atmosphere were all 5 star! We we’re looking for something great for our last evening in Berlin… absolutely superb all the way around.

Highly recommended! We stumbled upon this place by accident and I’m glad we did! Great food, wide selection and high quality at very reasonable prices. I had a breakfast stack with a chicken, egg and hash brown. The hash brown was really tasty, I’m normally not a big fan but this was really delicate and tasted amazing! Staff were great, thank you!

You can feel like living your best life as a Cold War spy. I almost expected James Bond to show up and start ordering borscht. And for the protocol: Napoleon torte was delicious, also look at those old cups!

Great Jewish Russian food, quite some fusion dishes! Helpful and kind staff. Beautiful location and interior! Not too far from Alexanderplatz and easily reached by tram.

The new team members are amazing so they deserve to be shown some of the best places in Berlin! 😁 At Pasternak we enjoyed a great atmosphere to get to know each other and to bond over amazing food. From tuna tartar, through Pelmeni, Wareniki and kebabs like pargit to medowik honey cake everything was excellent! The only thing that might have been better than the food was the service. 👌🏼 What a great evening! THANK YOU everyone!! 🤩

unfortunately not very good lunch food. i came here for late lunch. had the mango salad with green asparagus and a side of bacon. i left out the pumpkin seeds. the whole dish was just tasteless unfortunately. the dressing was suppised to be orange but i didnt taste any of that. i mean i know its salad, but salads can taste amazing. the dish sounded great on the menu but just disappointed me. and all that for a whooping 16 eur (excl. the bacon). and 3,50 for the bacon which i find quite expensive. next time ill just come for drinks because of the outdoor area.

Chose the outdoor seating to be treated to some amazing food & wine! And the best part was that all this came with top of the class hospitality by the staff at the restaurant

Pasternak is an exceptional restaurant nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, boasting a charming veranda and an ambiance that exudes authenticity. The cuisine, though simple, is an absolute delight for the taste buds. We enthusiastically endorse every dish we sampled for breakfast. The staff, with their warm and welcoming demeanor, go above and beyond to ensure your comfort. Without a doubt, Pasternak is an absolute must-visit destination in Berlin that promises an unforgettable dining experience.

Had the Nr5 breakfast and was a little disappointed. Although the food looked incredible visually, the taste didn’t match up. It felt like something was missing to connect the individual flavors together. I would come here again but this time order the blini. The service was friendly and accommodating for bigger groups.

Tasty food and always presented beautiful.... So fare I ordered every time something new and I haven't regret it. Maybe one downside the Aperol was to watery.

Delicious food and wine. Had the Siberian Dumplings, Boeuf Stroganoff and Napoleon cake, along with Georgian wine. All were delicious, especially loved the dumplings which came in a huge portion of 10 to 12 dumplings.

Nice brunch spot in Prenzlauer Berg! The food was tasty, the staff was kind and the outdoor seating was lovely on a sunny day. There are several sweet and savoury options.

Had a really great breakfast experience at Pasternak. Ordered some pancakes, crepes, some lunch meals. Everything was on point and upto the standards. I personally ordered crepes with chocolate sauce with Milk coffee and it was amazing. They also served us some complimentary bread and butter. Really liked the whole vibe and enjoyed the experience. Overall: 9/10

Amazing food and great service! Came here the first time for breakfast and came back the same week to taste more of the menu. 10/10 would recommend

Really liked the food. The waiters gave good recommendations since I know not much about eastern European cuisine. Tried the soljanka and Pulka Jewish specialty filled chicken thigh and they were both very delightful. Topped it off with a Pasternak crepe which was equally great. Not to mention there was live music on this Monday night. Great service as well.

Exquisit food, with a mix of Russian and Jewish cuisine, accompanied by Georgian wine and live piano music - this restaurant is a gem! Such friendly service, too!

My favorite breakfast restaurant in our neighborhood. Love the breakfast nr.2. best combination of savory and sweet breakfast. Fair prices and friendly service.

The level of quality here is what separates it from many restaurants. The salmon eggs benedict was perfect; flavorful hollandaise, fresh salmon and excellent brioche toast. Mors is refreshing during the summer and my wife’s pancakes were very well done, as well. All of this quality comes with lovely service and a picturesque outdoor terrace. We didn’t have to wait more than 2 minutes for a seat.

Really authentic interior and great Russian food. Went there for lunch with my girlfriend and very much enjoyed the Pelmeni and Kwas. The staff speaks Russian and was really friendly. Thumbs up, would recommend it to fellow locals and tourists.

Food is ok. Serving style and dish decoration are high. BUT: Expensive+++ to what you get. Was surprised to see many Israeli dishes in the menu since i thought its russian Restaurant. Didn't taste it since prices are a bit..how would i say it gently: overwhelming. Toilet are super dirty with bad smell. To eat we had pelmeni - some kind of russian style pasta and veal liver with latkes( Kartoffel Popper ) -(18€) Veal was dry and very small portion. Pelmini was good and fresh but small dish(14€) radler to drink (5€) and cappucino (3.5 €). 2 Chocolate creps there were super small ( 14€) Waiter couldnt wait 2 minutes that we would leave and so he can close the outside section(was 17:00) he removed a cover and spilled huge amount of water that splashed at us. Shame and very unprofessional behaviour , even tho food is like.. ok, We will not come back. Thx.

The ambiance is great, it woks for romantic brunches/dinners as well as for big gatherings. The staff are super friendly (Martin in particular!), and the food is really authentic and tasty. It’s always better to make reservations.

Good service, dishes are well made and fresh. The beetroot soup was very good and garlic bread that came with it as well. Beef stroganoff was a bit salty. We also had dumplings there were ok. And Georgian wine. Cottage cheese dessert (sirniki) we’re not very good , I suggest to put berries on the side not on top of them and add sour cream. It was a bit expensive though for two people 75 eur.

We were lucky enough to be able to sit on the terrace in the evening in October. Inside you are placed a little closer together. The dishes we ordered all tasted very good and the portion size was quite enough to eat. The three of us shared the starter and dessert, otherwise it would have been too much. This was possible without any problems and the service was quick and very friendly. The prices for the food are quite reasonable, only the wine is quite high. But you can also drink kvass, which was very refreshing and not too sour. Mixed-age, pleasant crowd. All in all, we had a very nice evening that we would like to repeat.

The salmon was incredibly soft and tasty. Staff were friendly except at the end we couldn’t get the attention of the waiter after we paid with a credit card. We returned the credit card machine to the counter.

Pumpkin soup was from heaven!! There was live piano in the evening. The vibe was so good. Really really enjoyed it.

We had a pleasant visit to an authentic Russian restaurant - highly recommend as you will get served a very tasty food coupled with live piano music.

Das Essen hier ist wahnsinnig lecker (obwohl ich ein paar der veganen/veg. Optionen vermisse, die es vorher mal gab) und die Atmosphäre so gemütlich, ein wunderbarer Ort 💜

best breakfast! Incredibly tasty and very friendly waiters! I'd love to come back ;)

Wonderful place, great service and the food is heavenly. Untypically for Berlin, you have to pay by card, so no worries about no having enough cash. It is a bit more expensive than your regular restaurant, but man is it justified!

Very authentic and beautiful restaurant. The food was fresh, very tasteful and beautifully presented! The live piano music rounded off the atmosphere perfectly. Gladly again!

breakfast was tasty but seems to have declined in quality a bit compared to some months ago - bread a bit stale, smaller portions, not as well put together.

(Translated by Google) Very nice service, good food and nice location. We felt very comfortable and will definitely eat and drink there again. (Original) Sehr nette Bedienung, gutes Essen und schöne location. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden dort sicher erneut essen und trinken.

I was there with my boyfriend - It was the best meal EVER. We went back the day after and had another excellent experience ??? I can with all my heart recommend this restaurant. The staff was also sweet and kind ♥️??

Beautiful place with some vegan options. The vegan dumplings are amazing. Totally recommend it.

Super tasty russian food and good house vodka!

(Translated by Google) Qualified five stars! Simply delicious, nice service, great atmosphere. Great (Original) Berechtigte fünf Sterne! Einfach megalecker,nette Bedienung super Ambiente. Toll.??

Absolutely pleased with my dining experience at Pasternak. The menu has such an amazing variety of Eastern European inspired dishes (vegan and vegetarian friendly), each sounding more delicious than the last. From the freshness of the food to its tastiness and portion size, everything was on point. The staff were also incredibly friendly and attentive. Reservation encourage as it’s always frequented by diners. Will definitely come back for more.

Super tasty pancakes

Good Russian restaurant located in a nice district. If you are new to Russian cuisine - there are options of menus with pre-selected dishes. Vegetarian options are also available. Out of dishes I have tried here, I would highlight borscht (yum!), syrniki (sweet cottage cheese pancakes) and Napoleon cake The staff speaks Russian. Outdoor tables are available on the terrace in the summer. It is possible to pay by card here. Table reservation is possible online.

Perfect service! Amazing cuisine! Cozy place to spend time with friends or family

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant. The food comes highly recommended and the waiters are always friendly (Original) Sehr gutes Restaurant. Das Essen ist sehr zu empfehlen und die Kellner sind immer freundlich

We had a diner for to in Pasternak and everything was perfect . Location, food , service ,atmosphere , this place is a true heaven . Highly recommended

Lieblingsrestaurant in Berlin. Alles schmeckt top und toller Service

Cappuccino was very good! The food was also really nice and tasty. But one of the brioches slides was a bit dry and hard to cut.

Sehr lecker. Wir kommen wieder zum Frühstück gleich morgen früh.

Very nice Russian cousin restaurant! A bit price but really worth it. Breakfast was superior! Recommended.

Borscht was fantastic. Great mood setter on a cold night. Dumplings were exquisite and the housvodka washed it all down. Highly recommend. Super friendly staff.

If you want to try something different, I can only recommend the Russian cuisine restaurant Pasternak. We had the 4-course menu for 2 which is plenty of good things to discover especially in the mixed starter plate. Go for a change in style but with uncompromised quality and book in advance because the place is sought after.

Delicious food with eastern Europe taste

A not so russian, russian restaurant. We can call it fusion ;) We were looking for a brunch spot near prenzlauer berg and they were the only ones who had a free table. I think mostly because they are pricy. We had one main called Proletariat which looked like an appetizer, and one brunch/breakfast plate with fish and shared a large bottle of water. This all costed ca 35€ which is a lot. This is why I deducted 2 stars.

Fabulous place to visit for brunch. Lots of choice, food is excellent, staff really friendly and the restaurant is so full of character and authenticity. A must visit if you are nearby and hungry!

High quality food, elegant atmosphere and good service, highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Mega beautiful location & delicious food! I always like to come back! :) (Original) Mega schöne Location & leckeres Essen! Ich komme immer wieder gern! :)

(Translated by Google) In the past, the Pasternak was a real dream, with very fine cuisine and good service. However, there seems to have been a change of ownership here, at least practically all faces were new to me. The kitchen has also declined considerably, and you are currently a long way from the finesse of the past. I hope for the Pasternak that this was only a one-time outlier. (Original) Früher war das Pasternak ein regelrechter Traum, mit sehr feiner Küche und gutem Service. Allerdings scheint es hier einen Besitzerwechsel gegeben zu haben, zumindest waren mir praktisch alle Gesichter neu. Die Küche hat auch stark nachgelassen, von der Finesse von früher ist man aktuell sehr weit entfernt. Ich hoffe mal für das Pasternak, dass das nur ein einmaliger Ausreißer war.

(Translated by Google) We had a nice evening in the Pasternak restaurant. The food was delicious, the waiters were quick and courteous and Anastasia was an angel on earth. Charming, gallant and understanding, Anastasia always had an open ear and a solution for our concerns. Rarely experienced a waitress in the catering trade who loves their job as much as Anastasia. Thank you for an unforgettable evening in Pasternak at the water tower in Prenzlauer Berg. (Original) Wir hatten einen schönen Abend im Restaurant Pasternak. Das Essen war köstlich, die Kellner waren schnell und zuvorkommend und Anastasia ein Engel auf Erden. Bezaubernd, galant und verständnisvoll hatte Anastasia für unsere Anliegen immer ein offenes Ohr und eine Lösung parat. Selten in der Gastronomie eine Bedienung erlebt, die ihren Beruf so sehr liebt, wie Anastasia. Herzlichen Dank für einen unvergesslichen Abend im Pasternak am Wasserturm im Prenzlauer Berg.

(Translated by Google) Spontaneous visits during the week in the evening went wonderfully. The food is really good. Very tasty and very pleasant in terms of price and performance. The staff is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the location. A good change to Asia, pizza and Co. Gladly keep it up. I think booking in the evening is recommended. (Original) Spontaner Besuch in der Woche am Abend ging Wunderbar. Das Essen ist wirklich gut. Sehr lecker und von Preis und Leistung sehr angenehm. Der Personal ist freundlich und zugewandt.

(Translated by Google) The breakfast (organic scrambled eggs with avocado) and the vegetarian blinchiki are highly recommended. Not only are they delicious, they are also arranged appropriately. The eye eats with it. The service is also friendly, not a matter of course for a restaurant in this neighborhood. (Original) Das Frühstück (Bio-Rührei mit Avocado) und die vegetarischen Blintschiki sind sehr empfehlenswert. Sie sind nicht nur lecker, sondern werden auch ansprechend arrangiert.

ELEGANT, DELICIOUS, HIGH QUALITY AND INTERESTING The food: Russian-Jewish food. The beef rolls (Rind Fleisch) were PERFECT (11 €). Prices: 16 € - 21€ the average price for a main course. Location: Near the beautiful water tower (Wasserturm) in Prenzlauer Berg. The whole area is do beautiful. Service: friendly and informal.

(Translated by Google) Excellent dishes (Original) Excellents plats

Food was delicious and tasted very creative!

The food is great as usual but the service was terrible: I took me 1.5 hours to eat a 4 dishes menu. There are just a few tables but the waiters were not able to manage them timely.

We had an amazing breakfast here, with fresh pressed orange juice and great coffee. I love how they present the food on the plates:) you can get something special here too, lovely blini’s for example

Dishes are delicious. Prices are not the cheapest. I recommend to give a try

(Translated by Google) We tested a new dish for us Bouwl or similar and it was worth 5 stars! (Original) Wir haben ein für uns neues Gericht Bouwl oder ähnlich getestet und es war 5 Sterne würdig!

This place needs to expand/ update it’s menu. I’ve been there a few times by now, but there is not many options.. especially for vegetarians/pescatarians. Would be great if they could add some more fish to the menu. The prices are relatively high and the service is extremely slow! Prepare your patience. Other than that food is tasty and the location/view is 10/10!

The vegan breakfast was extremely tasty!! To be honest, we just picked this restaurant for a brunch because we couldn’t find a seat in other vegan cafes around. But holy moly 😋 best decision! There’s only one vegan breakfast option but this dish was outstanding delicious!! Everything was cooked to perfection and looked incredible. The taste of each component was amazing and together one feast in ones mouth! The waiters were super friendly and accomodating! Highly highly recommend going there 💯!!

Amazing brunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. I got the number 1 and if (when) I come back, I will get it again. It was so good. The service was also super. Can't wait to return. Can be busy at the weekend, but that's like everywhere in the area. It's worth the wait.

I would class this restaurant as a bad joke. We arrived at 11:40 am, and it took 20 min minutes for the service staff to bring the card. After another 15 minutes we left, because we didn't even have the drinks on the table. Not recommended

I love that this place exists and it’s easily my favorite place to eat in Kollwitzkiez. The location is beautiful with a view of the plaza, trees, and unique Wasserturm apartment tower. The food is consistently outstanding, fresh, beautifully prepared and seasoned, absolutely delicious. The service is kind, welcoming, but understated and easy. Every seat outside on the large patio seating is cozy, making it a lovely place to lounge and not feel rushed. I hope you get to enjoy it on a warm day with good company. Much gratitude to the those at Pasternak who make this possible.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been in Berlin so far. The food was awesome, the service was perfect. Dimitri was the waiter that assisted us and he really knows how to read a customer. The music was soft, the room has a nice light is well decorated, with everything blending well together. Overall: charming, delicious, soft and very very pleasant

I ate at this lovely restaurant last night and found almost everything good. Cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay there more and more. Thank you for the service, the staff is very friendly! The food is not only beautifully served, but also very tasty! I will come to you again
