Geheimtipp in TOWN. Ihr wollt essen wie früher und dabei auch satt werden, dann seit ihr hier genau richtig. Achtet auf die Öffnungszeiten und Tage. Es lohnt sich. Das ganze mit eine MTB oder Wandertour verbinden.... Was willst du mehr? Schon lange nach gesucht. Mehr geht nicht, überzeugt euch selbst. (Schnitzel geht immer)...

Hervorragendes Essen! Sehr zartes Schnitzel und perfekt gegarter Spargel. Die Bratkartoffeln waren ebenfalls super. Dazu ein netter Service und eine tolle Sonnenterasse mit Blick ins Grüne! Wir kommen wieder :)

Wir haben sehr gut gegessen und wurden freundlich bedient. Wir kommen jetzt öfter. Auf der Terrasse war es bei Sonnenschein auch wirklich sehr schön.
