Not fancy, but homemade to order. Unrushed, as the young woman cooks your order on demand while her husband manages front of house. The homemade wines (mostly Rieslings and Pinots) were delicious. They offered a special menu for asparagus season - imagine thick white asparagus maybe 9" long, tender and sweet. Accompanied by a tender and perfectly seasoned schnitzel with potatoes and a salad. Also tried an appetizer (enough for a meal on its own) of a cheese marinated in an onion sauce covered with chopped onions on slices of fresh dark bread - surprisingly tasty, though they were surprised and seemed a little worried that a foreigner would order it lol. We were the only non-Germans there, among 4 largish tables that are expected to be shared. Dinner for 2, including 3 glasses of wine, was only €45. Cash only - they have no internet connectivity (no cell signal, let alone wi-fi, which was a good opportunity to disconnect and let time slow down), but there's an ATM nearby.

This was not a buffet, but breakfast served at your table. Very close to all kinds of restaurants and shopping. My only complaint was that in the 24 hours that we were there, I killed 4 bugs. One was a giant spider that my husband wouldn't even kill :-). I know that these things can't always be controlled but FOUR? Still, I would probably stay there again.

This review is limited to the "chimney" cone pastries…read more Oh boy, these pastries are DELICIOUS!!! They use a unique roaster-like contraption to make these fire roasted pastries. The pastry comes out smoking, piping out. There's literally steam coming out of it. This left quite an impression as it is certainly dramatic. I must admit that I love these experiences as I just don't see U.S. eateries handing me such a temperature hot pastry due to all these needless safety reasons. As for the pastry itself, it is a twirl so you can tear off chunks that are partial curls. It has a nice crunch on the outside while the inside is perfectly chewy. You choose different topics.
