My parents are in town for the holidays, and when making a list of things they want to do and see,…read morethey said they wanted authentic Käsespätzle.
OK, easy enough. But a place that serves Käsespätzle that's good AND vegan dishes? A tall order. Or maybe it was five years ago. Now more and more places have vegan options that aren't just potatoes and mushrooms.
So I compiled a list of spots in town with good reviews of Käsespätzle and one or two vegan entrees, and sent it over. They looked at the list and decided that Die Feinbäckerei looked best to them. So we called and made a reservation.
We showed up at 3pm on a Saturday, just as they were opening, and it was quiet, with only one other table. My parents and son all ordered the classic Käsespätzle and I got the vegan Maultauschen made of beets.
Let's just say, we all were pleased with our meals. The food was excellent in taste and quality, and the portions were huge. My son also wanted Kaiserschmarrn -- a dish that is for two... at least -- but no one else had room to share. So he ate it (and loved it) and we took the rest home with us, which he ate the next day.
Our service was also excellent! And the place was really cozy and unassuming. As we were leaving, it was starting to fill up, so although we didn't need reservations, definitely get them if you're coming for dinner.
And although it's a bit of a trek from my side of town, I wouldn't think twice about coming back again.
