Was Jonathan Lo at Borchardt a mag?
The classic restaurant with all the German favorites. They have the Weiner Schnitzel, but the true gems are the Blood sausage and the Veal liver if that’s your thing. View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Borchardt:
The only good thing about the restaurant was the food. The service was abysmal. We had to wait over 30 minutes for someone to take our order, and that was only after asking repeatedly. Aside from the unfriendly staff, you can expect that if you have two adjacent tables, they'll convert two seats into three or four, making you feel extremely cramped, even if you don't know the table next to you. There are worlds bette... View all feedback.
The Borchardt – known as a place to see and be seen – has a certain reputation, but unfortunately, the culinary experience didn 't live up to this during my visit. I was repeatedly advised against eating there beforehand. Nevertheless, I wanted to see for myself, as a friend was visiting and wanted to try the famous Wiener Schnitzel. Unfortunately, I have to say: once and never again – at least not for people who value good food and professional service. About the food: The presentation was odd – the asparagus was placed underneath the schnitzel, which made cutting unnecessarily difficult. The schnitzel itself was unevenly seasoned: too salty and peppery on the inside, but completely bland on the outside. The asparagus wasn 't peeled properly, making it tough, bitter, and barely edible. And that 's supposed to be a dish for 54 euros? For a supposedly renowned restaurant, I find that cheeky and downright disappointing. Furthermore, the schnitzel served wasn 't even veal, so it wasn 't a classic Wiener Schnitzel either – a contradiction to the menu. Now, the service: Our waiter seemed inauthentic from the start – jokes that were more awkward than charming, and a manner that seemed more condescending than hospitable. Three examples particularly illustrate this: 1. When I couldn 't decide between entrecôte and schnitzel, I asked for his recommendation. The answer: Everyone has their own taste, just go for what you can 't get at home. This statement seemed not only rude but also condescending. 2. My friend asked how big the large schnitzel was. The answer: Whether big or small, ask Albert Einstein, followed by a laugh – no real information, no service, just a weak joke. 3. When I mentioned at the end that the recommended asparagus was inedible, I politely asked if there was any small compensation. The answer: If you had said something earlier – now it 's too bad. No regrets, no leniency. Conclusion: For people who appreciate good food, genuine service, and a sense of hospitality, the Borchardt is unfortunately not recommended. It may live off its name, but certainly not on its quality. It 's a real shame, because it has a lot of potential.
We had a lovely evening at Borchardt. The service was very attentive, and special requests were accommodated. The oysters were delicious, but the prawns were unfortunately not cleaned (still with the casings). The Wiener Schnitzel is highly recommended. Unfortunately, the dining room is very noisy, making a relaxed and quiet dinner difficult.

From the moment we entered Borchardt until we left, everything was perfect. We had a very attentive server who regularly came to our table to check on our food or refill our wine. The food was delicious, and the individual ingredients were perfectly balanced. Although it naturally got busy later in the evening, the service was still prompt.
