Zum Dritten Mann is actually an Austrian restaurant. You can recognize this in their wonderful breakfast options themed by Austrian cities. But on the changing dinner menu you will find a lot of dishes typical for Germans such as Königsberger Klopse, Saftgulaschand Rouladen. The dishes may sound traditional but are served as very modern interpretations. And all that to very reasonable prices.
