Traditional Bavarian Brewing in Berlin-Mitte: Augustiner at Gendarmenmarkt
Berlin-Mitte is packed with breweries, but if you’re near Gendarmenmarkt, Augustiner Bräu Berlin is a solid choice. Even a half-liter Maß at lunchtime feels justifiable—especially when paired with their affordable lunch menu, available from 12:00 to 14:00 for only €7.50. Mondays are “Schnitzel Day,” making it an even better deal.
If you’re up for a culinary challenge, order the massive 1-kilo pork knuckle. Personally, I went for the Krustenbraten—flavorful and satisfying, though it could’ve been a touch juicier.
Located at Charlottenstraße 55 (corner of Jägerstraße), the restaurant opens daily from 12:00 PM. For menus, specials, and more, visit their official website.
