In search of some vegetables on a warm summer day, we stumbled upon SALÜ - Genuss am Fluss. The…read morebulk of the dining is outdoors on mismatched tables spread throughout the lawn. In warm weather, the setting is absolutely phenomenal. The cafe was very casual and there were many people lingering and drinking for hours. It had an artsy vibe and the clientele was mostly young and hip. The menu is small and changes every one or two weeks. I believe everything is vegetarian, but my German is terrible, so I could be wrong. We ordered a dish that was kind of like an open-faced roasted eggplant sandwich with roasted red pepper sauce and sesame pesto. I was fantastic! We also had a summer salad with lots of fruits and veggies and lightly fried halloumi cheese. They also have an extensive drink list. Regional wines and beers, plus a well-rounded cocktail list. The beers were very reasonably priced at around 3 Euros. Actually, everything was really well priced, we had two entrees and four beers for around 35 Euros. I would definatly recommend visiting this cafe - especially in the summer. It is a great place to spend a few hours with friends, food and drink.

I just stopped by for a quick meal on the way to studying and chose item number 50 (it was a curry…read morewith tofu and rice). Staff were quick to get my food; we were in and out in no time. The interior was also very nice. As I took my first bite into the vegetables, I noticed they tasted like meat. I wasn't too worried, as I know some seasoning makes food taste like meat, but in fact, has no meat products inside. I kept eating, but as I got near the bottom of the box, I noticed a white, soft-looking thing. I inspected it and determined it was chicken. This is a good time to add that I am vegan, but know how meat tastes as I switched about a year ago. My boyfriend, who is not vegan, tasted it and confirmed it was indeed chicken. He proceeded to eat my food and found more small pieces at the bottom (no larger than the size of a coin). They easily passed as cauliflower bits. Just warning everyone to always ask and confirm - even if the name beside the meal says "vegetarian" - that their food is meat-free at this restaurant. I didn't, which is my mistake, as the meal said vegetarian + I switched the sauce to sweet and sour. However, these kinds of mistakes are not to be made in the restaurant industry. It is very upsetting to me and has never happened before.
