A solid tourist place with regional fare, a fantastic terrace next to one of the canals and and honest service. Have the black pudding sausage, the cucumber salad, the local sauerkraut, the real stuff! You can always do vegan back in Berlin or NY!

We had only one hour to drink and eat. Food was very good, gurken salad, fish soup, vegan wurst and schnitzel. We also ordered Babben bier, diesel and alcoholfrei bier, all great! Because I like to try local breweries. Service was great even with my poor german, there was no problem to order and pay. We spend really good time. I never believe in one star comments of strange people. They complain for everything - please stay at home if you don't like the World. Dank fur alles!
