Very eclectic, and for it worked. I was here at an odd time and the kitchen worked with me to have a couple of different tastes. One was a salad that had tastes I cannot describe. Since my French is very rusty and my Italian did no good I can only tell you that is was a feast for the eyes and had flavors mixed together that were unique. The base was an assortment of small tender leaves with shaved beets and feta. Yum! Then came the quiche, which was the best I have had. The crust was just delightful - it was delicate yet not intrusive to the dish itself. My fillings were pork belly and aubergine. This is truly a French place without feeling citified. Great service made this a very fun meal.

Walking around on a very cold late morning, we went from one promising looking restaurant to the…read morenext, to find that they were either closed for the holidays or were serving very hearty/dinner type meals. We navigated to Troc Cafe (yelped our way here) and though breakfast was finished, the quirky, warm ambience, and a pleasingly inexpensive and interesting lunch menu (written on a slate on the wall) greeted us and we decided immediately to stay. The ambience deserves a little call out - heterogenous chairs, plates and tables. Old movie posters, a retro weighing scale, spoons, pans, cane baskets etc. hanging from the ceiling. Now for the food: for starters we had salads - mine, lentils mixed with small bacon bits on a bed of pea leaves. My companion's was a cold ratatouille (crumbled) and feta, also on pea leaves. Both filling and different and for only €2.20 each! For mains we got a vegetarian quiche with goats cheese - the right size, perfectly balanced (not too 'eggy' as is sometimes the case), and a chicken leg with cous cous. The leg was roasted in a red pepper sauce, and the cous cous was delightfully spiced. We were spoken to in French (which we wanted to practice and were glad for it) and were not rushed at any point - service was really good with the two friendly-faced guys being attentive, neither overbearing nor negligent. I highly recommend visiting Troc Cafe!

There were so many choices it was the epitome of a kid in a candy store. We shared a slice of Black Forest cake and a glass of champagne. We sat outside to take in the views of the quaint village of Baden-Baden. The Black Forest cake you can get in the United States can't even match getting the real deal. I mean, wow! The cake was decadent and creamy, infused with liqueur, cherries, and whipped cream. It was so good that when it was gone I was scouring the dessert plate for another morsel. I was using my fingers to get up every last crumb. Simply said, best of the best.

The mix of sweet and savory; as well as the warm and cold side of the board was great balance. We really had a lovely time. Here comes the "But"... the only thing that bothered us a bit was the guy helping us (manager/owner?) was a bit defensive (almost argumentative) on his explanation between hot chocolate drink and hot cocoa. I'm pretty sure he's very knowledgeable and passionate about his line of work...but his attitude should be turned down a notch or two for the folks that may not know (like us) a lot about the subject.

Nuremberg sausages will test it a little bit like cheaper breakfast franks. The truck was OK but it was basically just cooked with the skin on and then Homans thrown on the top of it. The mugs of beer were pretty decent at five euros a glass. The big problem that we had was the service. We were served a salad and one glass of beer. And then we waited for over an hour. We started asking repeatedly what was going on with the food and we're not getting any answers. We saw other people show up 20 minutes after we've come served entire dinners while we were still waiting. At the point we were about to walk out finally the soup in the two main dishes finally arrived. We asked for another beer to help with our meal and again there was a huge delay. The place was not that busy at that point and it took so long to deliver the beer that we were essentially finished with our dinners. They never gave us any water at all and finally serve the beer when we were done. It's still me of the time when we ordered but by the time we finished it was knight in fairly cold and we started getting sick from the whole experience of waiting in the cold for so long.

I finally decided to make the stop around lunch time on a Tuesday and waited a little less than 10 minutes (the line moves quickly). I ordered a pain au chocolate and the pretzel gratinee. Together they were both around 5 euros which is pretty reasonable. They warmed up the pretzel which was nice. Unfortunately there was nothing special about either things to me that would make me want to go back. They were good, but nothing that stood out to make it exceptional. I've had numerous pain au chocolats and this tasted like the rest. The pretzel was good and soft, which I liked but the cheese was only in the middle and not much on the outside. I've had better tasting pretzels for sure. It was a decent place, but not as hyped up as it was made out to be.
