Super lecker, individuelles Essen und mit sehr viel Liebe zubereitet!! Ich empfehle zu reservieren, da es eher klein und kuschelig ist und demnach immer voll. read more Super lecker, individuelles Essen und mit sehr viel Liebe zubereitet!!

To feel truly satisfied, they suggest ordering 3-4 courses, and yes, you'll definitely feel full and happy afterward. It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth it, and we're already looking forward to the next menu change. It's truly something different, and the interplay of ingredients, preparation, and presentation is amazing. Highly addictive!

From arrival and being seated to placing my order, it took about 20 minutes, and another 20 minutes for the drinks and then the food to arrive. Exotic, high-priced menu. I only had a hot nectar and dessert (over €12) for a total of around €18. The staff is very rushed, with no sign of professional routine. They're just as loud when handling food as they are talking to the other guests. Cutlery and other items sometimes clatter to the floor while serving and clearing tables. Somehow, the high prices don't match the ambiance. In fact, quiet phone conversations aren't allowed, and you're told quite rudely about it. However, having a conversation with your neighbor at stadium volume is perfectly acceptable. On the one hand, a lively pub atmosphere, on the other, exclusive offerings. A very interesting mix. It was within walking distance of my accommodation, hence my first choice. In hindsight, I've seen that there are other vegan options relatively nearby, and if I'm ever in the area again, I'd probably go somewhere else. Conclusion: I wouldn't go there a second time.
