We stopped on the way back, we stopped for a glass of Riesling. You order at the bar and choose a table by the river or one of the easy outdoor lounges. They serve bar-style food also although we only had drinks. It was a delightful spot to sit in the sun and watch the barges and the cruise boats slide on by. The view only got better as we watched the afternoon light fade away and the sun start to set. Combined with the walk along the river, it was a very pleasant way to spend an hour or so before dinner on a summer afternoon.

Lovely location for a cold Radler on a hot summers day. Thoroughly recommend. read more Lovely location for a cold Radler on a hot summers day. Thoroughly recommend.

Not haute cuisine but hot and tasty. Busy and friendly, and importantly at the moment clean and not crowded. We were lucky to get a table.

There is a lot of space so that it can accommodate large groups. The food options are pretty limited (this is a beer garden after all) and include burgers and sausages, as well as a few sweet options. Whilst the fries (potentially to be paid as extra) are excellent and tasty, the rest (I tried several classes of sausages) is usual in the sense it was not bad, but it did not trigger anything special at the same time. The price of the beer is reasonable, but the food is quite expensive for what it is. Finally, there is no service at tables, and we need to queue at two bars to be served. The bar taking care of the drinks works fine, but the one responsible for the food was totally disorganized. If I have to go back there, this will be only for the view.
