Strong attempt to become parr of the Helga family. A nice family - be part of it.

Ich bin begeistert von diesem kleinen aber feinen Café! Obwohl wir schon viele Jahre hier wohnen, sind wir erst jetzt wieder hier eingekehrt um den Heringsschmaus zu genießen. und die s ist wahrlich ein Genuß. Nicht nur für den Gaumen sondern auch für's Auge! Sehr liebevoll angerichtet mit Ei, Kaviar, Lachs, 2 verschiedenen Heringssalaten und Makrele. Uns hat's ausgezeichnet geschmeckt! Auch die Preise sehr moderat: das Krügerl um 4,40€ und ein Jugendgetränk, 0,5l um 2,40€! Man fühlt sich sofort willkommen, sehr nette Atmosphäre und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir kommen sicher wieder!

Immer volle Bude nettes Personal...sehr gute Bedienung.

Lovely little local bar. Larger than life barmaid. Worth a detour.

Wollt ihr eine gute Zeit haben, geht hier hin. Entspannte Atmosphäre, es wird getanzt und gesungen mit noch fairen Preisen. Wir sind jedes Mal wieder hier
