What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant kochZIMMER is celebrated for its technically outstanding and artfully presented 'New Prussian Cuisine,' coupled with excellent service and a beautiful courtyard setting. While many praise the creative compositions and taste, some diners noted that portions can be small, and a few found the initial kitchen odor and decor to be less than ideal. Overall, it's a highly recommended fine dining experience that consistently delivers quality.
"It was my first visit in a restaurant of this caliber and I had very good time. Service was top of the top, they made us feel taken care of and very relaxed. We thought it will be a bit uptight, but it wasn't at all! Beautiful, calm place, with the greatest service in Potsdam and food...it was too good! Beautiful presentation and taste like heaven! Someone wrote on trip advisor that if you still have not been there, you should go before they get a M star and you won't get a table so quick! I agree!"

"Kochzimmer in Potsdam was one of the last Michelin Star Restsurants we hadn‘t visited yet in and around Berlin. However, the overdue dinner yesterday left us with mixed feelings. First the good stuff. The cooking is technically outstanding. Service at the table is good. Price / Quality is also excellent. 5 course, incl. wine for 155 EUR pp.
What wasn‘t up to expected standard: When entering, you pass through a narrow corridor that smells quite intensively of the kitchen. Not the best way to start a cullinary experience. Smell should be neutral or at least pleasant.
The dishes themselves, as said technically impeccable, lacked a bit of splendour.
Lastly, I would recommed to put some artwork on the walls and work with spot lighting. The decor feels a tad chilly. Perhaps a puristic approach is intentional but I think that a warmer approach would be helpful for this restaurant in its classic setting."

"Every bit as exquisite as you've been led to believe so far. An unassuming location on a side street, the real delight that is kochZIMMER is delicately advertised with the Michelin star outside the front door.
We visited with a large group for dinner, and were warmly welcomed with drinks in the beautiful interior courtyard. For our main meal we moved to a privatized area of the restaurant where we were treated to a meticulously prepared array of courses, each more delicious than the last. The veal and strawberry caramel dessert were highlights. The 2015 Markus Schneider Cuvée Tohuwabohu was a real treat and an excellent accompaniment of the meal. In short, well worth your time and money for a visit!"
