The story
1811 is a Mediterranean restaurant at Schlüterstr. 55 in Berlin-Charlottenburg, and the Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 2,5 Kochlöffel for 2026. The house calls its cooking German-Mediterranean, a menu built on regional German tradition with French and Mediterranean influences.
The kitchen works from classic recipes and home-style cooking, then updates them with modern technique. Lunch focuses on seasonal produce and a short midday card, while the evening menu leans further into creative plates.
The Wiener schnitzel is the reference point here. The guide calls it supposedly the best in the city, and it comes with potato salad and cranberries. The evening card also lists monkfish wrapped in aubergine with chorizo and mussel broth, crispy suckling pig loin with pepper jus and chanterelles, and braised lamb shank with smoked pumpkin. For dessert, coffee mousse with cherries and sesame rum ice cream closes the savoury run well. A six-course menu is available for those who want the full sequence.
The dining room combines the warmth of a country inn with a more modern, polished finish. Wooden chairs and white tablecloths set a relaxed but formal tone. The wine list is a clear strength, with a selection of organic wines from small estates and an optional wine pairing with each menu.
