Schöner Ort zum Cafe trinken und relaxen. Freundliches Personal. Preis Leistungsverhältnis top. Frühstücks Buffet und Abendessen werden wir noch testen. Sehr ruhig gelegen da kein Durchgangsverkehr Autoverkehr.

Haben sie vielleicht einen neuen Koch? Der Fischtopf war jetzt viel besser, als letztes mal. Das Lammkotelett mit Pommes und Salat hat jetzt sehr gut geschmeckt. Es war leider mehr Zwiebeln aufm Teller, als Tintenfische, aber die Tintenfische waren gut. Die Ente mit Pilzen war leider zu weit gegart. Sehr schöne Ambiente und top Service! Vielen Dank!

En fait, cet établissement comporte également un hôtel situé, comme le café, à deux pas de la cathédrale toute proche. Je n'ai pas eu le plaisir de tester l'hôtel, mais le restaurant est le reflet fidèle d'une région très agréable à vivre. Le menu de groupe qui nous a été proposé était simple mais copieux et de bonne qualité. Quant au prix, il reste en dessous de quinze euros, boissons et tout compris. Il ne reste à ajouter à ce tableau réjouissant que la gentillesse et l'efficacité du personnel et des dirigeants. Bravo à tous.

It's a nice cafe with a restaurant which are part of the hotel. Great to make a stop when traveling around for a drink or to have a nice lunch or dinner. The prices are pretty reasonable and the quality is good, but not exceptional. The service is ok, but when it's more busy they are either a bit too fast or too slow in our experience. All in all a good place to visit when passing through the village for some sightseeing.
