We took a river cruise along the Danube and a 'must stop' is in Passau Germany. In reading through…read moreliterature, about 500,000 people visit this small city that has about 50,000 full time residents. To say the least, this city is overrun with tourism. There are groups walking around everywhere, listening to their tour guides holding up the plastic 'lollypop' of all shapes and colors. Not far from the main square, we found a reasonably quiet street with a wonderful coffee shop and restaurant. Anton has two entrances, but we learned that they serve the same food. We actually came here twice in our day in Passau. We chose to sit inside for coffee and pastry and later, outside for lunch. The coffee and chai tea that we were able to enjoy along with the absolutely most extraordinary apple strudel were excellent. The staff were very helpful, guiding us to select what's best in the bakery. The atmosphere was comfortable. Clearly, nearly everyone here is a tourist, but it didn't have the feel of a tourist trap. We asked around and several people suggested that we return here for lunch. And so we did just that. Sitting outside we had the chance to watch the many tours and tourists walk by. The main downside was that it's legal to smoke outside in the EU, not inside. And there was a group of smokers several tables away. Not terrible, but could be better. For lunch we enjoyed the soup of the day, spinach dumplings and clams in pasta along with a side salad. Everything was very fresh, well seasoned, and truly delicious. As we had dessert and coffee earlier, we elected not to have them again. There are likely several good restaurants in Passau. This is the one we chose and we were very satisfied. One last suggestion, if you are in the city after about 5 PM, all of the tours and most tourists have left. If you choose to walk at this time of the day, you can really enjoy the beauty without the people walking everywhere around you.

We were greeted warmly in German and when the host/waiter detected our American accents, and difficultly speaking German, he immediately transitioned to English. What a pleasant and professional gentleman! He also provided us with English menus. Awesome! The ambiance is amazing. Old world meets new world. This was a great spot to take a quick break before heading back to the boat.

A bus route runs from the river up to the top, but we elected to take a trail up. It was a warm day and the trail was a bit of challenge. The view from the top was worth it. We settled into a table on the patio overlook at Das Oberhaus. We had a couple of beers and enjoyed the breath-taking view. Our boat was due to leave shortly, so we weren't able to sample the food. If you've got a couple of spare hours in Passau and the weather is nice, hike up the hill and enjoy this place!

Beautiful inside area nicely decorated and so Cool with the wait staff in German regalia. Our waitress spoke English good enough to converse about the menu and beer selection. For about 5.5 euros you can get two sausages and a fresh warm pretzel with sweet mustard. I got the dark beer (only one) draft and the wife got the pilsner which was in the bottle. Food was good, came out promptly and devoured quickly. The menu is extensive with lots of variety. Also really big dessert menu. They were putting together fish fry on a charcoal and wood grill. Mackerel was the fish and was soaked and marinated before putting it on a stick over the barbie. Restrooms are free and located downstairs. Very clean restaurant and food is good. The views are magnificent...Definitely reccomend this biergarten!

My mother uses a walker , so I was holding the door as she entered and since there is a step down at the entrance, half the staff and a few customers all came running to help her down the step. Awesome. Aside from the delicious baked goods and the absolutely fantastic gelato, they also offer hearty meals. A lot of Austrian and German specialties. I enjoyed a big portion of Currywurst mit Pommes. Perfectly executed. One of the better ones I have eaten in my lifetime. Mom opted for potato cakes with apple sauce. Judging from the speed she devoured those, they must have been really good also... So good she refused to share even one bite. Grrr. Of course we each had a slice of their cakes. Both were delicious and we wished we could eat more, but alas we couldn't eat another bite. So if you are waiting for your cruise ship as we were, or if you are staying a bit longer, this is the place I would recommend.
