This place is run by a professional cook who used to run a yakitori joint herself in Japan. No wonder most of the customers are Japanese.

Loretta's has been replaced by a totally ugly hotel!! Very sad...[...]
We dined here on our first night in Berlin. Absolutely delightful food, excellent service. I had the skate wing and my partner had the Wiener Schnitzel. Our food was accompanied by an excellent wine from the Mosel region recommended by our waiter. A[...]
Are you sure Henry? Did we go to the same place? I heard from some people there they had adopted the place for a quick drink as it was one of the few gay bars in the old Jewish quarter but it was dull.[...]
You dont have to be dressed up to go in, but the bar is so cool it makes you wish you did. Primarily a cocktail bar playing old pre-WW2 music. Very cool and sophisticated but not too pretentious. Had a great time.[...]
My g/f and I stopped in here on our most recent trip to Berlin, having heard about lovely cakes and a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was by far the worst I have ever encountered. The waiting staff were unbelievably rude. The cake was pr[...]
The store is huge so that you can find everything you are looking for. A friend of mine who is from Berlin gave me the tip to look under www.kaufda.de/Geschaefte/Galeria-Kaufhof to look for the weekly offers they got. Mostly electronics but often en[...]
Wonderful atmosphere, service, after-work crowd, drinks, and of course southern German cuisine. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Berlin.[...]
I had a fantastic time. Really nice atmosphere and really friendly people, which is not typical for Berlin.[...]
I walked in one of those bars on my vacation. I was not sure what was going on. Ttwo guys had no shirts on, they were in their twenties. Tthen some really young guy came up to me, I about died. He was so smooth and young, we partied in the room for[...]
We found Loretta's to be a nice low key place to spend the evening. If I am ever back in Berlin, you can bet I will go there again.[...]
Hi! This is very useful. Just great. Thank you.[...]
I think it was fun to ride the elevator. Up on the roof there is a great view of the city and the roof itself is worth seeing.[...]
But for the principle of multi-cultural society you wouldn't have the pasty (Mehrzahl pasties). As an expat I hope that to be a German still stands for search for accuracy. You wouldn't say Berlin is in Preussen, so believe me, Cornwall's eastern border is the river Tamar, Devon belongs to England. Interested in accuracy? Please go to www.cornishstannaryparliament.org and get more infos. We even have T-shirts here (to educate people) CORNWALL IS NEXT TO ENGLAND - just like WALES. Herzliche Gruesse und nichts fuer ungut.
Editor - It's amazing what you can learn by writing about meat pies. I hope the now sadly terminated sale of Cornish pastries in Berlin did not contribute to the funding of militant separatist groups that terrorise the Cornish countryside by removing any signs bearing the word 'England', leading to lost tourists falling off the beautiful non-English cliffs. Good luck with your independence struggle - but we really only cared about the pasties!

It's great - shame you've got your facts wrong. It's "A working-class meal from the old tin-mining area of CORNWALL" - not southwestern tip of England stupid! Don't become another victim of English propaganda.
Editor - so you're saying that Cornwall is not a part of England, or that it's not at the southwestern tip of England? Unless Devon has floated further west, we think you're wrong on both accounts. But hey, we're here in Germany so we only care about the pastries.
