One of the oldest traditional cellars in the city still open to the public, Kartoffel Keller has a lovely vaulted ceiling as well as some appealing outdoor tables in summer. It does get a bit touristy and it does love potatoes (baked, pancakes etc), but there's also a mean rare roast beef and some stews, and it's a good deal.
