It's a chill restaurant/cafe, younger age crowds with student vibe ! Nice place to come grab a bite…read moreafter work or school if you don't feel like dress up to somewhere "upper class" ! I had their special daily order - spicy beef curry with rice and salat. the portion is decent for a girl, but it is not spicy at all. The sauces are tailored to german taste, not the traditional Indian curry flavor. Nevertheless, the taste was good and it wasn't too salty. Their non-alcohol cocktail is just so so, personally I think it was with too much sugar in it. I would prefer to have a real cocktail or a juice next time. Friend had ordered a sweet sugar pancake, the portion was enough for half meal and the taste is just right ! Definitely will give it a try next time when I'm craving some sweets !

Came here for a quick dinner, and had tortellini from the weekly specials (5.50EUR). Tasted okay,…read morebut a bit of a doughy taste. Service was fast, and overall price was all right. Started getting full later in the evening. Good location close to the pedestrian zone.

The Kamera Kino is Bielefeld's second art-house cinema (after Lichtwerk Kino, which actually owns…read moreboth). The 3 screens predominantly show art-house and European films, with a few main-stream titles. The main screen has older seats and no incline. Furthermore the restrooms are located just off the main aisle, so there is a distraction whenever someone gets up. The two much smaller screens are located 2 floors up (elevator available). Good selection of films, but needs a renovation.

I made a habit of coming here at least once a week, usually at night and by fahrrad. I'd sit…read moreoutside on the Platz, listen to the dreamy chill lounge music, and people watch (even in the cold). Once in the zone, I'd order one glass of Riesling, a large Caesar salad and an espresso. Never let me down. Likely one of the most generous and best Caesar's I've had in Germany. Downside is that the salads are so large, plan on getting there early or order well in advance so you can finish it all and still catch your train on time! Doh!

ALEX offers a chill, laidback setting for a lunch break or midday coffee. At night, especially on…read moreFridays and Saturdays, the bar fills up with customers drinking Herforder Pils, the local brew. It's close location to Jahnplatz, Altstadt and the Strassenbahn's (streetcar's) Rathaus stop makes ALEX a great place to either start or end a night on the town in Bielefeld. Some of the music played sounds like a best of the 80s and 90s soft rock station, but that could be said of many German establishments I've enountered. The bathrooms are always pretty clean. The waitstaff and bartenders are helpful and friendly. They will also remember your usual order, if you become a regular customer. Brunch on the weekends is quite popular at the restaurant/cafe/bar. The food is great, especially the Italian Baguette. I recommend sharing the cheeseburger unless you have a big appetite. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Ice cream desserts are good too, and they can be ordered without the alcohol.
