Local before arrival
As far back as the late 19th century, class-conscious guests were dining in this landmarked building on Gendarmenmarkt. Back then, the clientele was mostly upper class and aristocratic; these days, it tends to comprise politicians and celebrities. None other than Barack Obama is said to have eaten one of the famous Borchardt schnitzels. The large dining room, with its four marble columns and stucco ceiling, can get loud and hectic during peak times.
