What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Gooooood Schnitzel. Great German cuisine. Excellent place to take visitors from abroad. In the summer the terrace is beautiful.”
“It was a sin not to dine here! We were there just for drinks a beer, not more...but...the smell of some good plates... BTW...next time, for sure! The feeling it was very cool, some musicians played strange trumpets, typically from Bavaria. We were pleased!”
“It's a pretty nice, historical place, good for dinner with friends. This time, the occasion was my 50th high school reunion. Everyone's chosen menu item was very good and the waiter was very attentive to our group of eleven.”
“So much better after reworking the menu 2yrs ago, I almost gave up. I was there when I was 3 and still love to go. Thanks so much.”
“Old time family favourite close to the river Rhein, particularly in summer. Right place for good food and excellent beers. Ordered the icecream with strawberries and got a whole pot full of delicious dessert...”
“Good seasonal menu with the usual classics. All made fresh with friendly service”
