Solid gelato, decent variety. The fruit flavors came out a bit watery for me, but the cream ones were really good. Just a heads up, they only take card if you spend over 5 euros. Fine for a quick stop.

This Italian restaurant is a hidden gem with a wide selection of dishes and a great wine list. The friendly service and delicious food make it a perfect choice for a casual dinner or a special occasion.

The build-your-own bowl concept is fun, especially with a group. Fresh ingredients, and they even have kangaroo for the adventurous. Wine selection was decent for the price.

The steaks were nothing short of spectacular. Some of the sauces,we ordered were too much , underseasoned and flat. Everything else was great.

Stumbled into this place while looking for dinner and honestly the tiramisu was the highlight. Handmade, not too sweet, just the right texture. Had the lamb chops too, cooked properly. The inn itself has that old-school cozy vibe, very German. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get but I&#39;d come back for dessert.

The service was really friendly, and I liked that they had a good choice of soups and ice cream. The rose butter with the bread was a nice touch, something a bit different. The ice cream itself was good, though I wish I had room for more. A pleasant spot to stop in for a casual meal.

The sushi here was actually fresh, salmon and tuna both tasted good. Nice to find that at an airport. I had a Kirin Ichiban with it, went down easy. Seats were okay, nothing fancy, but I didn&#39;t feel rushed. Service was friendly enough for a quick stop. Fine if you need a decent bite before a flight.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Place looks sharp, lots of daylight inside. Saw the espresso tonic on the menu&mdash;definitely trying that next time. Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Solid spot if you&#39;re in a hurry.

The gelato here is really good. I had the pistachio and it was rich, not too sweet. The Crema dal 1947 flavor is something different, worth trying if you&#39;re into classic tastes. I also got the chocolate cream topping on top, which made it even better. Service was friendly and quick, so no complaints there. Just a heads up, it can get a bit busy later in the afternoon, but it&#39;s worth the short wait.

The prawns were properly succulent, no complaints there. I had a cocktail that came out a bit too strong, but the waitress fixed it with some fruit juice without making a fuss. Rib steak was the real highlight though&mdash;cooked exactly as asked. Nice to find a place that knows how to handle a drink order when something&#39;s off.

Dresel is renowned for its first-class restaurant, offering outstanding food quality that meets the highest standards, comparable to those found in major cities.

Went in for a quick dinner. Place has that classic American diner vibe, menu is massive. Got the burger, portion was solid for the price. Good spot if you&#39;re with a few people. Nothing fancy but does the job. Service was a bit slow though, took a while to get the check.

The buffet had a good mix&mdash;chicken, beef, and even kangaroo and zebra if you&rsquo;re feeling brave. I went for the all-you-can-eat option and it was plenty. Seating was comfortable, which I always appreciate. Service was friendly enough, though it got a bit busy later. Fine for a casual meal if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Solid breakfast buffet with all the German classics - breads, cheeses, meats, eggs. Servers were super friendly and kept our coffee topped up. Good spot for a relaxed morning with friends.

Came for the lunch menu. Spring rolls on rice noodles were crispy and light. 7.50&euro; is a solid deal for the portion. In and out in 25 minutes.

Stopped by for dinner on a whim. The wine list had a few solid Italian picks, went with a Barolo that paired nicely with the pasta. Food was good, nothing mind-blowing, but the vibe was relaxed. It&#39;s a bit of a hike from the center, so you gotta plan for it. Fine if you&#39;re nearby.

Nice little spot near the Altstadt. Sunday live jazz was the highlight, really chill vibe inside. Good for a relaxed evening.

The BBQ Burger was properly juicy and the portion size is solid. Cool spot to hang with friends, though it got pretty busy when we were there. Staff were nice about it though 👍

Been coming here for years now. Still the same solid food and cold beer, which is exactly why I keep going back. Cash only, yeah, but you get used to it. Place still feels like a proper local spot, not some tourist trap. That consistency is hard to find these days.

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Had the Haxe and liver &ndash; both were solid, no complaints. Portions are generous, that&#39;s for sure. Staff didn&#39;t fuss when I had my dog with me, which I appreciate. Place gets busy, so don&#39;t expect a quiet meal. Fair for what you get.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the schnitzel. Portion was big enough that I didn&#39;t need dinner afterwards. Beer list is solid, tried the dunkel. Place gets busy around noon but the staff kept up fine. Price felt fair for what you got, especially for the location. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night. Live music was decent, not too loud. Staff kept the water coming without hovering. Had the ribeye and a glass of red &mdash; meat was cooked right, wine paired well. Place was maybe 80% full, still got a table by the window. Not cheap, but you pay for the atmosphere. I&#39;d go back.

Stopped by for a quick bite and a beer. Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Had the schnitzel, solid and crispy. Place has that proper local pub feel, nothing fancy. Staff were friendly enough. Good spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to overthink it.

Been coming here for a while now. The food&#39;s always fresh, that&#39;s the main thing for me. Coffee&#39;s solid too. Just wish they&#39;d go a bit lighter on the oil and salt, but I keep coming back anyway. Good spot to sit and chat with a friend.

The grilled meat with feta was really good. Fresh ingredients, you could taste it. Place has that casual Greek taverna vibe, nothing fancy. They stay open late which is handy around here. I&#39;d go back for that dish alone. Maybe slightly noisy inside but fine for a quick dinner.

Lovely spot right on the Rhine, watching the ferry while eating. Fresh ingredients, simple and good.

Service was friendly and efficient, no complaints there. Had the grain bowl with grilled chicken, pretty good. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the ingredients tasted fresh. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something light.

Been coming here for a while now. The UrTrub is still my go-to, always consistent. Gets pretty busy and service slows down, but that&#39;s not gonna stop me.
