L‘ Escargot - Berlin

I rarely write reviews of restaurants unless it's truly outstanding. We were the only ones in the restaurant - another couple was leaving as we were entering. We both got the set menu and a side of snails. It's about 30-35 euros depending on the options you order per person. Excellent value in my opinion. They certain don't bring the food out quickly. We were there for around 2 hours and 15 minutes for the 3 courses, olives and bread, snails and wine that we had. I'd usually find this annoying, but everything was so lovely you don't even notice. Everything is cooked fresh. The waitress would ask if every meal was fine and good. The ambience is lovely, the food is cooked to perfection and flavours (rustic french homestyle) were delicious. It really was one of the best meals I can remember in a long time. The wine list was very reasonable at 20-50 euros per bottle. Most around 20-35 euros. The menu also comes in English which was good. Grappa and candy served at the end.

Moderately price, small and intimate restaurant. Plan to spend a lie surely evening as all food is prepared to order. The entres are plentiful in size and come with many perfectly prepared vegetables. Both the pork roast and lamb Osso Buco were delicious. The chocolate mousse was divine.

Have had often a meal in our extended kitchen. The food (Sizilien cousine) is always freshly prepared with regional quality ingredients. Martino the chef can prepare a meal according to the desire of his guests. He is extremely flexible. Our favourit is Mussels prepared in Sizilien way. Since 4 years we are regular guests of L'Escargot and we have never been disapointed.

We stumbled into the L`Escargot on a short trip to Berlin. Our place was in the Wedding and we were looking for a place to eat. After strolling around for a while we arrived there at 21.00 and asked for a table. The place is very small and probably it´s better to have a Reservation. The waitress told us, we could get a table only if we would be patiently waiting for our Food because the Chef makes it fresh. That was ok with us. The entree came pretty quickly, I had a salad with goose liver which was just fine. For the main course we waited about an hour, which was absolutely ok too. The (russian?) waitress was not really friendly, but after asking her twice for an extra wish, we got that too. So all in all, the Food was good, it was not fantastic, but for what it was, it was just fine. Also the Price was ok, I had a menu for € 27,00. I can highly recommend it if you stay in the area and look for a nice place to eat.

I reccommend the signature dish, the snails,but maybe share a plate between 2 as they are very rish. The food here is great and so is the atmos,which is relatively rare in my experience.Thumbs up, big time
