The dishes change daily according to availability and are only revealed when the restaurant opens at 5pm. Many items are so popular that they appear time and again, such as Odenwälder Handkäse (a traditional Odenwald soft cheese) or a delicious pâté. The inviting tavern-style interior and very friendly service create a charming atmosphere in which
