Walking the streets near to the Uni and feeling the need to eat something other than bratwurst, I…read morewas over the moon to stumble across the amazingly fresh, traditional German food of Lieblings.
Inside is a cosy, kitsch cafe atmosphere; blackboards, embroidered hearts hung up everywhere, pegs holdings menus together... you know the kind of place. It suits it. I usually don't go in for "cute" but this was a welcome break from the bitterly cold winds.
The waitresses spoke perfect English and helped us to choose from the menu. It included pancakes, sandwiches, fried noodle (a kind of gnocchi), coffees and cakes. The specials board also boasted schnitzel, which a couple nearby ordered and it looked fantastic.
We went for a salmon pancake and fried noodles with cheese.
Both dishes arrived with a fresh side salad. The pancake was more like a flat Yorkshire pud. The salmon had been baked in the batter with rosemary and a dollop of soured cream finished it off. The noodles were really tasty - full of cheese, fried onions and with a few mushrooms thrown in too.
Definitely worth braving the winter winds for.
