The food left MUCH to be desired 😒 Lukewarm soup = bacon dumplings and cheese dumplings were almost soaked to bread soup and the core of the dumpling was cold. And for THAT price (soup was served in a cup, 150ml with mini-dumplings) 6.80Euro 🫣😒 The cappuccino was good.

With a restaurant and terrace, it's a lovely place to linger. Be sure to fill up your bottles with "healing water" at the fountain.

Unfortunately, cycling is prohibited here. However, anyone pushing their bike is considered a pedestrian. 💯
