They have a well stocked bar to enjoy a quick schnapps or liqueur to warm you up, as well as a good beer selection. They also serve coffee and tea. We had Ramazotti along with a berry cream cake, and a cherry strudel cake. The cakes were outstanding and delicious and you could taste the freshness. The service was friendly. After a walk through the nearby forest walking trails, this is a wonderful destination to reward yourself with a warming treat. Lots of space for groups of hikers/walkers, as well as a selection of outdoor seating ideally suited for summer days. Lecker! as they say.

Par for the course, because asking for Mexican food in the middle of rural Germany is an ask for…read morethe moon and requires a huge stretch of the imagination. NOTE: This "Mexican" restaurant doesn't serve tacos. The food was a doctored up way of presenting German-style entrees with something approaching Mexican flair... if you are feeling generous. For example, they have a series of "Baked Potato" topped with different meats, pick between beef or chicken or vegetarian. I would just called that a loaded baked potato in the States. They have a series of burgers, with barely even a Tex-Mex twist. They offer steak, enchiladas, and burritos, which are basically wraps which you can pull off with bland stuffings and underwhelming sauces. Don't be looking for chipotle, fresh jalapenos, salsa picante, or crema, or even proper pulled adobo pork. Don't be looking for melted cheese, or for spicy pork stews. Their spicy sauce was good ol' Louisiana Tabasco. On top of it all, the kitchen was slow and haphazard. We waited a good 45 minutes for a Yucatan salad (it had guacamole in it!) and a baked potato entree. I'm just going to leave it as a disappointing food destination but standard polite and professional service. Colorful bar and decent place to get a drink.
