Regional restaurant in Brandenburg an der Havel's old town near the Steintorturm, specializing in Märkische (Brandenburg-style) potato dishes and German comfort food, with rooms suitable for groups.
Kartoffelkäfer sits in the Neustadt (New Town) district of Brandenburg an der Havel, a short walk from the medieval Steintorturm gate tower, and specializes in Märkische cuisine — the potato-forward, hearty cooking style associated with the historic March of Brandenburg. True to its name (Kartoffelkäfer means 'Colorado potato beetle'), the menu is built around potato preparations in dozens of forms, alongside German staples like Rouladen and pork roasts. The restaurant has several separate dining rooms that can hold groups of 30 to 50 people, and it is set up to handle tour bus groups as well as individual diners, so solo travelers visiting during a quiet period will usually find it relaxed rather than crowded. Its location in the old Neustadt puts it within easy walking distance of Brandenburg an der Havel's cathedral, the Havel waterfront, and the city's cluster of medieval gate towers.
