Worth the journey
Everything came hot and nothing came late. We have eaten here 4 times and it has not changed, which is the point.
Ordered: Liver dumplings with onions and mashed potato

Zum Lantern is a large room of 122 seats on Ostra Square, Kessel. Tables for parties are kept at the back. The dumplings are rolled by hand before the doors open, and there are never enough on Saturdays. Children are welcome at lunch.
The kitchen is run by Anton Deichen.
