Reviews Summary
Zum Fliegenden Holländer is celebrated for its delicious, hearty German cuisine and cozy, historic atmosphere in Potsdam's Dutch Quarter. While many praise dishes like the Wiener Schnitzel and the friendly service, some reviews mention specific dishes being too salty or a main course not meeting expectations. The spacious patio and extensive beer selection are also highlighted as positive aspects.
"We celebrated my birthday lunch and the service was very nice. Our waiter went above and beyond serving wine and also helping my grandma to choose her wine. The food was delicious, lots on the plate and great taste. The menu was offering a wide range of dishes and the wine list was extensive. The decoration inside was very cosy and classy. We will be back. Thanks"

"We decided to visit this restaurant, without reservation, during our trip to Potsdam cause we had heard many compliments about its local cuisine. Although the restaurant was full, the staff helped us immediately. Everything we ordered was well-cooked and tasteful, more specifically the Wiener Schnitzel was a real surprise. It was probably the best Schnitzel I've ever had!"

This “Mill House” has an excellent location next to the Sanssouci Palace and the only surviving mill from the 18th century Dutch migration era. In this cafeteria we find a very good coffee and again various types and brands of beer. However, his biggest surprise comes when we try one of his sandwiches or rolls, all made with the flour obtained from the mill next to him, the only one that is still in operation!
