Eating here is a real pleasure! The cuisine is international and seasonal, the highlight being the Bavarian beef steaks. They also serve burgers on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Head here on a Saturday for a three-course surprise lunch or on a Sunday for a traditional home-style roast. A friendly atmosphere reigns in the restaurant and its conservatory, and the terrace on the busy street is a place "to see and be seen". Right next door is the restaurant's own butcher's shop, which for many years has employed so-called humane slaughtering methods.
