Zum Nußbaum, Historic restaurant in Nikolaiviertel, Berlin, Germany
Zum Nußbaum is a restaurant in Berlin's Nikolaiviertel with traditional German features including dark wooden beams, small windows, and stone walls. It sits near St Nicholas Church in the city center and serves classic German food.
The original establishment opened in 1505 on Fischerinsel and served as a dining spot for centuries. It was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt in 1987 at its present location in Nikolaiviertel.
The name comes from a walnut tree that once grew at this spot. Diners sit in a space of dark wood and small windows where Berlin's food culture feels present and lived.
The restaurant is within walking distance of Alexanderplatz and serves meals from noon to midnight daily. Major credit cards are accepted and the location fits easily into a walk through the Old Town.
Two prominent German artists, Heinrich Zille and Otto Nagel, captured the original site in their paintings. These works document a gathering place that drew Berliners for centuries.
