The first time we saw this restaurant by the Gutenberg Museum, we thought it looks like a pricy,…read moretouristy place. But some of our friends tried it and highly recommended it, so we went for lunch to try it out. This place seems to be busy at any time of the day, and it's easy to see why. The place is modern and comfortable, on one wall there are lots of head silhouette... wonder if there is any significance who these people are? Menu is in German, and we find the price is slightly high, but not unreasonable, and the food quality is definitely top notch! They have the ubiquitous schnitzel, pretzel, sausages as well as other traditional dishes, but also have things like coconut curry soup and tempura, and vegan items. When we went there, asparagus was in season, so they had a special asparagus menu, listing about 10 dishes featuring asparagus: asparagus soup, asparagus risotto, asparagus tempura, coconut asparagus panna cotta... We were glad because, just outside the restaurant, there is this huge farmers market, stalls after stalls selling big fat green and white asparagus, but as tourists staying at a hotel we have no way to cook them. Now finally a chance to try the fresh asparagus. I asked my German friends, "You buy the asparagus at the market and cook them home?" "Ja!" "And you order them at restaurants too?" "Oh yes, we eat them several days a week. Because the season is very short." So what happen when the season is over? "We have to wait till next year." "They don't have them at supermarkets?" "No, because then they are not fresh they are no good!" Needless to say, we had the best asparagus of our lives, after which, we just don't bother with American asparagus anymore...

There is no menu in English but you can muddle through, I know you can. I had a lovely plate of cheese, meat, jelly, a hard-boiled egg, and some decorative fruit with a generous basket of bread. There was a liver wurst option on the menu that I substituted with cheese. There was a goat cheese on this plate that was really great. I ate little bites on bread and also had a chai latte. There is a cozy eating area in the back where you can sit and eat on comfy chairs with a coffee table. They also have books and magazines to read. How cool! The service was exceptional and lunch here was about $10-- you can't beat that especially for the quality and quantity of food. Thank you, Hintz and Kuntz for a lovely stop in Mainz.

This is a little gem in Mainz. When I walked in I had a great first impression of the place, not…read morebecause of the friendly staff, or the classy decor, not because of the use of high quality liquors, but it was the amount of fresh ingredients they use. I saw fresh basil , simple syrup, house made sweet and sour mix, and a lot of other things that cocktails bars in the area refused use. I am a whiskey and bourbon type of guy. For the last two years I've been searching for a place that can make a proper Old Fashion and its been a horrible experience. Most put the most random things in the drink like, granulated sugars, oranges, cherries, etc. But know here, whoever trained the staff must have been a old catholic nun who slapped their wrist with a ruler whenever they put the wrong ingredients in a drink. I only say this because this the only place that I have found to make a near perfect Old Fashion. Unfortunately, great drinks comes with great responsibility (Spider-Man reference.. don't judge me), and with all the drinks being freshly made, it does take a while. But if you actually sat at the bar and watched them make it, you'd understand that they are pouring to perfection. Also, this place is small, so on a Friday night it can be packed and very loud. Those two reasons are why this bar didnt receive a 5/5 rating. The drinks are pricey, but its a cocktail bar with fresh ingredients, so expect to pay 7.50 to 9 euros on average, but most people have 1 or 2 and they are good. I'd totally recommend this place if you're looking for a place to dress up a bit and got out for drinks.

For the appetizer, we tried the tomato and fresh mozabites cheese, it was nice. Exterior terrasse, very spacious. Our marocan waiter was very kind and spoke french with us. They also have an ice cream bar next door. Will try next time.
