Ever dreamed of tackling a schnitzel that could feed a small army? Look no further than Louis, a charming restaurant in Berlin’s historic Rixdorf district. This isn’t your average schnitzel, folks – it’s the biggest schnitzel in Berlin, and ready to test your appetite.
A Schnitzel Legend in the Heart of Rixdorf
Louis is no newcomer to the Berlin food scene. Since 1994, it’s been serving German and Austrian classics, but its claim to fame is undoubtedly the legendary schnitzel. This isn’t some dainty veal cutlet; it’s a massive pork masterpiece, breaded and fried to golden perfection, just as the Germanic tradition dictates.
If you’re up for the challenge, order the “Klassiker.” This schnitzel weighs in at over a kilo – over two pounds of deliciousness for the Americans! Feeling less ambitious? The “Für den ‘kleinen’ Hunger” is still a hefty 600 grams (over a pound), so even the “small” size can be considered a feast for some people.
A Taste of History and Tradition
But Louis is more than just a schnitzel haven. It’s a window into Rixdorf’s unique history. This neighborhood, once a separate city, is known for its well-preserved architecture and Bohemian heritage. I even participated in one event that raised this heritage, the famous Popraci! After your schnitzel adventure, stroll and soak up the old-world charm.
I discovered about Louis when I started exploring Neukölln in the summer of 2012. I remember looking for something interesting on Google Maps and trying to walk there to see what the neighborhood would look like. Rixdorf was one of these places, and I fell in love with it at first sight.
My first time at Louis was around that time. I remember seeing a couple of older German men eating a massive schnitzel. I decided to try it on my next visit. A few weeks passed, and a friend from Brazil was in town. He heard me talking about Berlin’s biggest schnitzel, and we thought it was time to accept the challenge and try to eat it.
When I first ate this legendary schnitzel, I got feverish. I remember getting home, sitting on my couch, and taking a long nap. A few months later, another friend was in town, and we decided to try it again.
I have been going to Louis since 2012, and I love bringing friends who are visiting Berlin there. It’s great to show them a different part of Neukölln and get them to an epic food challenge at Louis. It seems like the best deal.
