Tauro Restaurant Berlin – Viva la Pfefferberg

or: inordinately large doesn’t prevent from a little criticism

It was my high expectation and a report on Berlin’s best radio station – radioeins – that drove me to “Tauro”. The Bassy Cowboyclub with its events had already seen me for umpteen times, but do you think I had noticed this inordinately large restaurant? No, unfortunately not! A radio station had to draw my attention on it! From the outside it’s somehow unspectacular. But when you step in, it is really big and wonderful. This evening it seemed a little empty, because only 7 per cent of  the 400 seats were occupied. But the gigantic tapas bar on the ground floor was so inviting that you could overlook the emptiness. Finally we didn’t want to miss the barbecue specialities, because those are grilled with a unique infra-red gas grill. Therefore we had to go to the really impressing first floor.

The seats in den “Fireplace Room” seemed somehow to be ordered. On the one hand you were in good company, on the other hand there was a wonderful fire that invited you for more. The waitress informed us that they were short of guests but that they were thinking positively. I mean … they do have established an unbelievable basis. Ambience wherever you look… nevertheless, I’m not quite sure if this large room filled by people won’t be like a huge canteen. The noise could be killing… but that is all merely speculation. However, it was a relaxing atmosphere and we were looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately, our kind waitress forgot to serve at least the traditional appetizing bread… ok, we got over it!

Then the starters were served. Yes, the tapas were great. But a small minus, because VAPIANO’S tomato sandwiches are definitely more delicious – fresh filling and warm bread. However, the rest was wonderful. I especially recommend Jacob’s mussels. The following main course was not top-quality; my meal was ok (yes, I know, ok is the little sister of shit!), but the so-called barbecue plate for my companion was not. It’s a challenge to prepare the meat between dry and raw, but it’s possible. This evening the fantastic infra-red grill didn’t manage that. In return for this I have to mention the super delicious chips and of course the really good steak. To sum up this impressing restaurant in the Schönhauser Allee, my assessment is contradictory: In fact I was impressed by the ambience and therefore I was just about to praise this place, but then I had to call me off… Sorry, I must mention it. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy your visit there and maybe it was only one of its bad days!

So, enjoy your meal and be amazed at the wonderful architecture while eating and drinking …
