  Restaurant "Knese" is located just a stone's throw away from Kurfürstendamm - next to Berlin Plaza Hotel, in one of the city's most beautifuls spots. The restaurant offers Old-Berlin atmosphere and local Berlin specialities as well as "international specialities". Whether you are starving for a "Eisbein mit Sauerkraut" - knuckle of pork with sauerkraut, authentic "Berliner Kartoffelsuppe" - Berlin potato soup, Viennese veal cutlet, or just a simple "light salad", the menu at "Knese" is as diverse as people's tastes. The Berlin Plaza's recent face lift has transformed it into a posh and swanky hotel, and needless to say, the Restaurant Knese that is right next door, belonging to the same owners, has also changed in tandem. Located in the well known Kurfürstendamm, a haven of fashion and glamour, this restaurant serves a fascinating selection of renowned German specialities along with some local dishes which give their menu its much talked of twist. The refurbishment performed on Restaurant Knese has created a marvellous and luxurious space where you could sit down and enjoy some great food. The décor is somewhat reminiscent of whisky enrobed chocolate, all dark woods and mellow lights while the service is as you would expect, friendly and helpful. A meal at Restaurant Knese would be incomplete if you did not try some of their desserts such as baked camembert with cranberry-pepper pear and buttered toast, apple strudel, or summer pudding, both with fresh fruits, ice cream and whipped cream. A stein of cold beer to go along with any of the dishes seems the perfect accompaniment and you could choose from some of those on tap or a draught beer, while a selection of fine wines, fruit juices and other beverages are also present if you so prefer. Meetings, business events or celebrations can be held in the restaurant and it seems to be an ideal spot, whatever the occasion.      |
