The restaurant has already closed the terrace but the friendly owner served us another meal which was excellent, toilets were clean, excellent service

When the lady brought it all to us I kindly asked her glasses of water. To my surprise, she brought us two bottles of sparkling water...and moreover they were already opened. I told her that we don’t drink sparkling water she could have at least asked us if we wanted it with or without gas... In response, she started being very agressive saying that whenever you order water anywhere in Germany without mentioning which type you want, you will have sparkling water! This is absolutely not true and she was just trying to cheat on some foreign tourists who do certainly not know how it works in Germany as I suppose she was doing for years. By the way, she pointed out that we would have to pay for it since it had already been served in the glass. It was not about the money wasn’t expensive but about the attitude. The lady is in her fifties with short blond hair and glasses I noticed she had already been reported in one of the previous reviews for her unfriendliness no surprise. In the end, coffee was pretty bad but the cheese cake was even worse with artificial flavours. Fortunately, this place was the only negative detail of our visit of Nideggen. Just avoid if you don’t want to get bad vibes

They have quite a good menu and daily specials on offer. My wife had...the grunkhol and smoked sausage which she thought was lovely and I had Leberkase with a fried egg and bratkartoffeln which was also very good. There were also soups and schnitzels on the menu and many other dishes. Although, it is primarily a cafe, they do sell beer and wine. We ate in the Herpertz twice and also had some lovely cakes and coffee on another afternoon. The staff were friendly and the service was very good. Hard to fault it. Recommended.
