Reviews:
Fodor's recommends this restaurant:
"The beer coasters are trading cards of the Wittelsbach dynasty in this relaxed but high-quality restaurant serving dishes from Bavaria and the Alps. Classics like Wiener schnitzel, goulash, and grilled saddle steak are made of "bio" meat and vegetable products, meaning that even the veal, lamb, and beef are the tasty results of organic and humane upbringing. In warm weather, reserve a sidewalk table. With its corner position facing a park bordering Lake Lietzensee, Engelbecken is a lovely open-air dining spot."

Related Tours/Sites:
The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, unless you came to a convention at the convention centre ("Messe"), in which case it is one of the best restaurants close to the ICC/Messe area.

However, it is not entirely out of interest for the "regular" tourist. First of all, the restaurant lies on the banks of the Lietzensee lake, which is a very nice spot; it is not far from the Charlottenburg Palace (and hence could be integrated into a guided tour in the Charlottenburg Palace and its museums); and there are several sites of Jewish interest in the area, which could be integrated to a Jewish Life in West Berlin tour; and the restaurant could be also integrated with customised Berlin tours

Nearby Hotels/Accommodation:

Note: because of the proximity to the ICC convention centre, many of these hotels are very simple ones, catering the traveller to the Messe exhibitions and trade fairs.
