After walking through the Stuttgart Market Hall and being a little underwhelmed, we went looking…read morefor some lunch. We came upon this nice cafe on the corner, just outside the Market Hall, and it looked very pleasant with all of the outdoor seating, had a good-sounding menu, and some enticing specials. The sound of the 5,90 euro special of Apfelkuchen mit eis (apple cake with ice cream) and a cappuccino, and the steak on the menu pulled us in. The seats were comfortable and the service relatively fast. Our server came by almost immediately and we ordered a beer and a glass of wine. I was not sure which wine I wanted (the wines were new to me and had some German descriptions I did not know yet), but the lady helped me to choose the Halbtrockende weisswein (half dry white wine) from Wurttemburg (a local wine). I got the 0,2L glass and it was quite generous pour for only 3,80 euro. The beer was only 3 euros. Good price and the drinks were perfect for the warm summer midday weather. I ordered the small maultaschen in soup (just under 5 euros) and a side salad (just under 3 euros). BF ordered the half roast chicken with potatoes and a side salad. I got my side salad first and a basket of adorable little bread rolls. The bread rolls came out hot. They were quite dense but enjoyable. *TIP* ask for some oil and balsamic vinegar to dip the bread into. The salad was so fresh and had a variety of good vegetables: lettuces, spring greens, tomato, cucumber, onions. The typical German salad dressing was tasty, clean and fresh tasting. My maultaschen came out also very beautiful. Three large halves of maultaschen filled with flavorful ground meat with some few greens inside. The broth was also flavorful and enhanced by the generous amount of fried onions added. I quite enjoyed the it. My bf's chicken dish was also beautifully presented. It came with a little salad on the side of the plate, but he also got a bowl of side salad too. It was just the right portion. We were quite full after eating this and had to pass on the dessert. Our total for two dishes and two drinks came out to just around 26 euros. Good price, good food, good service. Recommended for the dishes we ate.

This is the place I like to bring people new to the city. Good German good and decent veggie…read moreoptions. Prices are average so for lamb and lentil dish with water and one beer was $40. Service was good until you try to use restroom. They tried to charge a euro but tell them you just ate here because they seemed to have amnesia. Free for patrons.
