Stopped by for a late lunch. Beer was cold, schnitzel solid and filling. Outdoor seating is the main draw&mdash;good people-watching spot. Service was efficient, no complaints. Prices fair for the portion. Not a place for a quiet meal, but that&#39;s not why you come here.

Cozy spot with a nice heated smoking area outside&mdash;smart for winter. Good for people-watching, though I didn&rsquo;t try the food.

The carrot cake alone is worth the trip&mdash;moist, not too sweet, with that perfect cream cheese frosting. I grabbed a corner seat by the window and just took my time with it. Place is small and a bit cluttered with vintage stuff, but that adds to the charm. Staff left me alone until I was ready to order, which I appreciated.

The owner remembered us from last time and even asked how our road trip went. That little personal touch made the whole meal feel different. We had the schnitzel again, still crispy and huge. Portion was almost too big for me honestly. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t wait long. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Came with a big group and service was surprisingly fast. Got the schnitzel, portion was huge. Menu covers all bases, solid pick if you can&#39;t decide what to eat.

We went for the asparagus menu and it was pretty good. The garden is lovely, very calm. Service was fine, not too intrusive. Just found it a bit pricey for what you get, but the food itself was decent. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The pizza was solid. Thin crust, good char, tomato sauce actually tasted like tomatoes. Had the pasta too, also fine. Nothing fancy, just honest food. Terrace view of the lake is a bonus but I was there for the plates. They know what they&#39;re doing in the kitchen.

Small place but bigger than it looks&mdash;three storefronts, one across the street. Hot chocolate and sandwiches were solid. Service was quick enough for a busy afternoon.

Came here for drinks with a couple of friends. Cocktail list is solid, definitely the main reason to go. Food was just alright, nothing to write home about. But if you&#39;re after a decent drink in a chill spot, this works. Service was fine, didn&#39;t have to wait too long.

Stayed here a few times now. Rooms are consistently clean and spacious, and the staff never disappoints. Dog fee is reasonable too. Solid choice if you&#39;re passing through with a pet.

Nice spot right on the Rhine. Got a table by the water without waiting, it was pretty quiet for a Tuesday. Bread and sausages were fine, nothing crazy. The hot mustard though, definitely ask for it, adds the kick the plate needs. Service was chill, not rushing me. Good enough for a relaxed lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

The pizza was solid and the price felt fair for what you get. I&rsquo;d probably just order that next time. The doner plate though... fries were soggy and the meat portion was pretty thin. Place itself is nothing fancy, but fine for a quick bite if you&rsquo;re in the area.

The breakfast was really good, fresh and tasty. But the place is tiny, so you definitely need to book ahead. Service was fine, no complaints there. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price, felt slightly overpriced for what you get. Still, decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and plan ahead.

Tucked behind the shop, this caf&eacute; has a small terrace that&rsquo;s actually pretty green and quiet. Got a slice of cake&mdash;looked nice, tasted good too. Inside got a bit noisy later, but I stayed outside so it was fine. Nothing fancy, just a decent spot to sit for a while.

Solid coffee and decent cake. Quick stop before work, no fuss. Gets crowded on weekends but service stays fast. Good spot for a quick bite.

The BBQ bacon onion burger was really good. Service stood out too&mdash;friendly and quick without hovering. Solid spot in the arcades.

Coffee was solid, made right. Place has a chill vibe, good for getting stuff done. WiFi&#39;s a bit slow though, had to hotspot for a bit. Still, I&#39;d grab a quick bite here again if I&#39;m in the area.

The lamb tagine was properly tender, lots of warm spices coming through. Vegetable couscous had a nice mix of textures too. The Moroccan decor gave it a bit of atmosphere, though nothing over the top. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the mood for something hearty. Maybe slightly quiet for a Friday evening, but that worked fine for us.

The duck was crispy outside, juicy inside. That alone made it worth coming. Sushi was fresh too, but the duck really stood out.

The katsu-don was solid &mdash; came out fast and the portion felt right for the price. I sat near the window and the light was nice, though the chairs are a bit hard if you plan to stay long. Lots of takeaway options too, onigiri and bento boxes looked fresh. Fine for a quick casual meal.

The timed rounds make the all-you-can-eat thing pretty fun. Food gets a bit heavy after a while though, but I liked the fresh veggie options they had. Good spot for a lively evening.

The Christmas table setting was honestly the highlight&mdash;they&rsquo;d put little pine sprigs and candles on every plate. Food was solid too, though the roast got slightly dry toward the end. But that warm, festive touch stayed with me longer than the meal itself.

The truffle pasta on carpaccio is still my go-to here. Quality stays consistent every time. Just remember it&#39;s cash-only and a bit tight inside, but that pasta makes up for it.

Came back a second time, that says enough. Boris was the waiter again, remembered what we ordered last time. Food&#39;s solid, nothing fancy but done right. He suggested a different dish this round, spot on. Place gets busy around 8, so come earlier if you want a quiet table.

Nice spot with a really lovely interior, lots of seating which is rare in this area. Coffee was solid, not too bitter, and the cakes looked fresh. Only thing is you have to order at the counter yourself, no table service. Fine if you&#39;re not in a rush, just don&#39;t expect to be waited on. I&#39;d go back for the atmosphere alone.
