The mussels &amp; frites were spot on, really fresh and the portion was generous. Good beer list too. Service stayed friendly even when it got busy. Solid spot.

The pad thai here is legit. Tastes like something you&#39;d get on the streets of Bangkok. Menu&#39;s only in Thai though, so have your phone ready.

Came here on a sunny afternoon and grabbed a seat on the terrace. My friend ordered the Philly cheese steak and honestly it looked better than mine 😅 the sliders were fresh though. Service was quick and prices felt fair for what you get. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back.

Sunny terrace on a nice square, that&rsquo;s the draw. Coffee was solid, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Staff seemed chill, not hovering. Sat outside for a bit, people-watching. Place felt relaxed, like a proper local spot. Maybe a bit slow when it got busy, but I wasn&rsquo;t in a rush. Fine for a lazy afternoon stop.

Kids loved the play corner with the kitchen set. Pancakes were thin and not greasy, came out quick even when it was packed. They even got tokens for little gifts after. Solid spot for families.

We ordered 3 course dinner, the soup appetizer was just ok, but the maincourse we ordered duck breast with mushroom and vegetables, it was so tasty. Definitely worth a second visit. The waitress was just alone trying to handle the whole restaurant on Sunday evening, he definitely was doing his best.

The plating was really nice &mdash; you can tell the chef knows what they&#39;re doing. Flavors felt clean and natural, nothing overdone. Our server was friendly too, checked in just enough without hovering. Only tiny thing: the table by the window got a bit warm in the afternoon. Still, a solid spot for a relaxed lunch.

The place looks fancier than your usual pancake spot. Even the restroom was spotless, which I always appreciate. Nice change of pace.

Been here a few times now. Kitchen stays consistent, which is the main reason I keep coming back. The wild ragout pie is solid&mdash;proper filling, decent pastry. Li&egrave;ge waffle does the job too, not too sweet. Service was fine, no complaints. Place gets busy around lunch, so timing matters if you want a quiet table.

We booked the whole place with friends and they did a 7-course surprise menu for us. Dinner ran about 4 hours, which is long, but the pacing felt right. Each plate came out properly hot and the service stayed sharp the whole night. Not cheap, but for a private evening like that, I thought it was fair.

Service was solid - friendly, knew the menu, and spoke English well. That helped a lot since my German&#39;s decent but not great for food terms. Recommended a decent local dish I wouldn&#39;t have picked myself. Place was busy but they didn&#39;t rush us. Fine for a business lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

The American pan pizza here is seriously good&mdash;thick crust, loads of cheese, just the right amount of greasy. I went in not expecting much and left pretty impressed. Burgers looked solid too, though I didn&#39;t try one. Service was fast and friendly. Maybe a bit busy around lunch, but worth it for the pizza.

The schnitzel with cheese and asparagus was solid. Portion sizes are generous for what you pay. Mixed grill plate could easily feed two people.

The tilapia with plantain and hot sauce was freshly done, and the egusi with catfish and pounded yam was pretty good&mdash;that one really stood out. Service was friendly without hovering. Place was a bit noisy by evening, but fine for a casual meal. Decent spot if you&#39;re after proper Nigerian food.

Been coming here for a while now, and the Iberico pork still gets me every time. Cooked just right, juicy, full of flavor. The black tiger prawns were solid too, but that pork is the reason I keep going back. Service was friendly, not pushy. Place gets a bit busy later in the evening, but that&#39;s fine.

Been coming here for a while now. Staff still remember my usual order, which says a lot. Even when it&#39;s packed, they stay friendly and don&#39;t rush you. Food&#39;s consistent too, never had a bad meal. That&#39;s honestly why I keep coming back. Just wish they had a bit more seating, but that&#39;s minor.

The Matriciana here is seriously good. I tried it for the first time last week and I&#39;m still thinking about that sauce. Pasta was cooked just right, not too soft. Place was pretty busy but I got a seat at the bar. Might go back for the seafood stroganoff next time, heard it&#39;s also solid.

The food looked great on the plate and tasted even better. We grabbed a bottle of Spanish red that paired nicely with the grilled octopus. Place got pretty noisy later though, music kept creeping up. Could barely hear my friend by the end. Still, solid meal for what we paid.

Been coming here for a while now. The outdoor seating is still my favorite spot&mdash;good for watching people go by. Fries are consistently solid, always hot and crispy. Currywurst was okay this time, not the best I&#39;ve had, but it&#39;s the kind of place you keep going back to anyway. Nothing fancy, just reliable.

We sat outside for a drink and it was pretty relaxed. Cocktails were good, nothing fancy but solid. The seating was comfortable enough to just hang out and chat for a while. Service was friendly when we needed them. Fine spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a low-key break.

Stopped here before my flight and honestly it worked out well. Schnitzel came out super fast, like barely had time to sit down. Strudel was decent too. Only thing&mdash;menu&rsquo;s pretty small, and they didn&rsquo;t have decaf even though it was listed. Fine for a quick bite though.

Stopped by for a late lunch near the Altstadt. Got the galette with goat cheese and honey, plenty of filling for the price. Place is small, so we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it. Staff didn&#39;t rush us at all. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t want the usual tourist spots.

Stopped by for lunch and had the green curry. Spice level was proper, not toned down for tourists. Coconut milk tasted fresh, veggies still had a bit of crunch. Place is basic, plastic tables and all, but the food does the talking. Only thing, they don&#39;t take cards, so bring cash. Would go back for the papaya salad alone.

The tagliatelle was decent, but &euro;22 for a simple tomato pasta? That&rsquo;s steep. The steak at &euro;51 didn&rsquo;t feel like a bargain either. Nice outdoor seating though, when the train noise lets up. 🍷

The Vacio steak was spot on, easily the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. The Portuguese-Argentinian menu mix keeps it interesting too. Just wish they&rsquo;d turn the music down a notch.

Stopped by for the &euro;6.90 lunch special&mdash;tofu and veggies over rice. Portion was decent for the price, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Place is basic, service was fast. Can&#39;t complain for a quick weekday bite. Maybe not a destination spot, but solid if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

The oven-baked lamb here is still the reason I keep coming back. Tender, properly seasoned, no fuss. I&rsquo;ve had it maybe ten times now, and it hasn&rsquo;t disappointed once. The place itself is nothing fancy, but honestly, I don&rsquo;t care about that. Just give me that lamb and I&rsquo;m good.

The lady&#39;s &quot;service&quot; was not good. Very unfriendly.and rude. The gentleman was friendlier. It was cold in the restaurant and we were sitting right in the cold air stream close to entrance. Guests had put their wintercoats back on while dining. The lady refused to give us another table where it should have been a little warmer, while there was possibility to move. Food was nice.

The bread basket disappeared fast, and the mains were just as good. Simple food done right, no complaints from me.
