Goldener Schwan

I drove all the way from the Netherlands specifically looking for an authentic German meal, and this place did not disappoint. It was very easy to find, and a huge plus that they are open on Sundays! The Schnitzel (Wiener Art) was incredible—two massive portions that were perfectly cooked. I also highly recommend the Riesling; it was delicious and paired perfectly with the meal. A special shout-out to the staff for keeping the facilities so clean; the restrooms were spotless, which really adds to the overall great experience. A wonderful dining experience overall!

Excellent food (easily the best Sauerbraten I've ever had), good beer, atmosphere and service. So happy I came here. Had Sauerbraten with side salad, hefeweizen and an Els Hüllenkremer as a digestive.

Absolutely amazing place! Delicious food, fresh ingredients and new flavours. Atmosphere is fantastic, very friendly people work there and service is super quick. For special occasions, for families or for dinner alone is a very good place to be.
