Eine sehr sauberes und gepflegtes Café-Restaurant. Die Inhaber sind auch sehr freundlich. Saubere Gläser, saubere Toiletten. Die Räumlichkeiten sind auch super schön gestaltet (viel mit Holz). Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall vorbei zu schauen und wenn es nur nach dem shoppen ist, auf ein Bier oder was einem auch in Kopf kommt. Wir kommen wieder.

Voelde een beetje als thuis komen, zeer huiselijke sfeer en geweldige ontvangst. Voor mij persoonlijk, het beste stoofvlees dat ik ooit geproefd heb.
