The best meal of our trip

Everything came hot and nothing came late. We have eaten here 7 times and it has not changed, which is the point.

Ordered: Kessel dumplings with goose crackling and cabbage

Worth the journey

The dining room was full and the service did not slow down. The waiter knew the menu without looking.

Solid, honest food. The wine by the glass was better than we expected.

Good food, slow service

A reliable place. The table by the window is worth asking for.

Faultless from start to finish

Worth every marka. We ordered a second dessert to share and were not charged for the coffee.

A proper dinner

We came for a birthday and the kitchen sent out a cake nobody had asked for. Faultless.
