I had the lunch special which was a massive chopped beef patty (not really a hamburger, large- about 3cm by 10 cm) with potato salad. Delicious, inexpensive and large. Dinner was just a cheese plate with some beer but the quantity was good and the cheeses were fresh.

With a nice array of beverages and food, it's quite easy to find something appropriate to sip or nibble on.The service is friendly and attentive, without being pushy.I appreciate their selection of "bio" products and plan to try their weekend breakfast buffet soon.This place is definitely on my go-to list!
