Alt Berliner Wirtshaus Henne

4.5 (1,843)$$ · Mid-range

Alt Berliner Wirtshaus Henne has cultivated a loyal following built on repeat visits, with reviewers describing a true old Berlin atmosphere carried through both the room and a menu centred firmly on chicken. The roast chicken comes very well cooked according to reviewers, paired with a well-regarded potato salad and good beer, and the outdoor seating area adds appeal in warmer months. A 4.5 rating across 1,843 reviews and a notably high culture score reflect genuine local heritage rather than a themed recreation. It suits a relaxed evening embracing traditional Berlin tavern dining.

What people say

"We visited Alt Berliner Wirtshaus Henne for the second time, this time with a group of friends, and once again we absolutely loved it. The place has a true old Berlin atmosphere — cozy, authentic, and full of character. The restaurant’s signature half chicken is simply a masterpiece: perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. The German draft beer was excellent, and the cabbage salad was absolutely delicious as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves traditional German cuisine, historic restaurants, and authentic old-style atmosphere. We will definitely come back again."
