The story

Juliette Potsdam – Classic French Cuisine in a 17th-Century Timber-Frame Restaurant

Classic French Cuisine with Modern Flair in Potsdam’s Historic Heart

In the centre of Potsdam, Juliette occupies a protected 17th-century timber-frame house, a setting that is both intimate and genuinely rare. Chef Carsten Rettschlag brings decades of experience to the kitchen, crafting a menu that moves between classic French cuisine and his own contemporary interpretations. The result is a constantly changing selection of dishes, each built on precision and seasonal instinct.

The surrounding atmosphere matches the ambition of the plates. A crackling fireplace, exposed beams and warm, low lighting create a room that feels lived-in and private. The service team is described as warm and committed, adding a layer of genuine hospitality that makes a meal here feel personal rather than staged.

A Wine List Built for Discovery

Juliette’s wine list spans over 120 labels, drawn from France and Germany, offering depth for both the curious drinker and the seasoned collector. Pairings are tailored to the menu, with sommelier recommendations that complement the chef’s evolving creations.

Celebrated by Michelin

Juliette’s steady execution of classic French cuisine – and its ability to surprise with modern touches – earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide. That recognition fits naturally here: the cooking is assured, the setting is singular, and the experience is built on craft, not hype.

Private Dining for Special Occasions

Beyond the main dining room, Juliette offers private dining spaces for celebrations, business dinners, or tasting events. The kitchen will design custom menus and wine pairings for groups, making the most of the restaurant’s intimate, listed building and its atmospheric hearth.
