What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Villa Kellermann is praised for its stunning location, beautiful interiors, and attentive service, creating a romantic atmosphere. While many enjoy the modern interpretations of German cuisine and the tasting menu, some reviews mention long wait times for food and service issues, along with one mention of the food tasting disappointing.
"Beautiful setting and stunning interior. Friendly and efficient service. Good food offerings."
Michael Wegner
"I was somewhat disappointed since I have heard so much about Tim Raue’s restaurants in Berlin and the dishes we ordered were average at best. The villa is stunning however and the location of the restaurant is breathtaking overlooking the lake. But I wouldn’t come back nor recommend it if asked."
Karim Dernaika
"The food was good and the place has an amazing view and is cozy. What wasn’t the best part of the experience was an hour long waiting for our meals. Then when we asked for the bill they hadn’t brought it until we asked again. Over half of the staff doesn’t speak English so we had no idea if they were sorry for the inconveniences or not. Nice restaurant but there’s probably a lack of communication between the management and the staff and between the staff itself."

Potsdam: Deutsche Küche - die besten Restaurants
In den jüngsten Schlagzeilen über die Villa Kellermann wurde vom Weggang des Sternekochs und Gastronomen Tim Raue berichtet. Ihm hat das Restaurant natürlich das kulinarische Konzept und die anfängliche sehr große mediale Aufmerksamkeit zu verdanken. Aber die wunderschöne Restauration in einer 1914 erbauten Villa am Heiligen See ist inzwischen erwachsen geworden, TV-Mann Günther Jauch ist immer noch dabei und die von Brandenburg und Potsdam inspirierte Küche mit regionalen Produkten und modernen Interpretationen hat ihren Platz in der hiesigen Gastronomie-Szene gefunden.
Berlin’s New Food Revolution Is Making The City One Of Europe’s Best Dining Destinations
At the same time, Raue is embracing local traditions, in his own way. As the chef at Villa Kellermann, in the posh Potsdam district of Brandenburg, he’s making his version of his grandparents’ food in the “fun aunt’s” home, one that’s resplendent with peacock patterns and Warhol-esque portraits. But if you pay attention, you see that his Königsberg meatballs, normally made of humble meats, are made here with veal and sweetbreads.

Fußläufig entfernt liegt die denkmalgeschützte »Villa Kellermann«. Nach langjähriger Regie von Tim Raue haben im Juni Küchenchef Christopher Wecker und Restaurantleiter Joschka Rauch die Leitung des Restaurants am Heiligen See übernommen, das TV-Moderator Günther Jauch gehört. Der Fokus liegt weiter auf modern interpretierter Brandenburger Küche.
