I absolutely loved the concept of this restaurant, and I have not encountered it before anywhere in…read morethe United States. When you enter the restaurant, you receive a plastic card that you swipe whenever you buy something. Order your appetizers and entrees at one station, swipe your card. Order your drinks at the bar (especially off their extensive craft cocktail menu), swipe your card. Go back and order gorgeous and extravagant milkshakes for dessert, swipe your card. One pays at the same desk at the entrance/exit at which one initially acquired the card. So convenient, especially for folks who are not rolling with cash and thus prefer to put the entire meal on one card but who don't want to deal with the hassle of wait service. We're adults and can walk to the appropriate station to order more, thank you very much!
I love that all of the bread is made in-house and that the bakery operations are visible through glass walls from the dining area. I love that the dining area is huge and has a wide range of kinds of seating options. The interior design was on point, and the radio was set to a station that was playing popular contemporary pop songs as well as the pop songs that I loved, in the United States, when I was a middle-school student in the mid-1990s. ("All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo, anyone?)
Oh, and the food is delicious! I hadn't eaten a salad in a while, and the one that I ordered was delicious and came with a substantial side of crispy, tasty bread. My husband loved his burger with pulled beef on it. The menu was both in English and in German, which I'm sure facilitates the happiness of all the VW tourists. Nevertheless, even with the English titling, I was confused why the milkshakes are advertised as having homemade marmalade in them. Who puts marmalade in milkshakes? We did not order them, but the shakes look amazing on the restaurant's instagram page.
This restaurant is in the heart of Wolfsburg's pedestrian shopping area, but we were able to snag a spot in a very close parking spot nevertheless. Most definitely, we will return, if we ever make it back to Wolfsburg.
