I want to start with the VERY good food. Delicious goulash, tender meat and very good seasoned. The pasta was extremely satisfying, and even the drinks looked appetising. the desert, cottage cheese dumplings, were perfect, not too sweet nor plain. The plating was great, and even the place is so cozy, but you need to keep quiet just to live and enjoy the moment. Very good, we will surely return!!!

I had a very satisfying late afternoon lunch here. The service was professional and friendly, and the food was very nicely prepared. I had a lemonade to drink, the fried trout main with potatoes and a salad, both very tasty. And I took the dessert with cottage cheese dumplings. I would love to come back to try some of the other dishes.

Amazing venison stew, slow cooked pork cheeks, and honestly everything we tried was terrific. Also the portions are quite big, and they use quality ingredients.

Absolutely amazing food, we visited this restaurant for dinner and we're extremely joyful with our experience. Both the food and the service were outstanding, our waiter Daniel was well mannered, polite and a joy to speak with. The food was on another level, very nice presentation as well as beautiful flavours. The picture with this review was the deer ragout and I cannot recommend it any higher and cannot wait to have it again next time.

I visited this restaurant in November 2024 with two other family members. We were welcomed in quickly and given a table with a friendly waitress. My family really enjoyed the meal choices. I had a Bombay Sapphire and tonic drink with the Camembert starter and then a gluten - lactose free chocolate pudding. I didn’t have a main, purely because I didn’t want one. The service was very good. I’d describe it as attentive without being overly intrusive. Everything was aesthetically presented and my photos, regrettably do not do the dishes any justice. On a Final point, the whole area was clean including the facilities with great parking. I’m hoping to work my way through the other menu choices.

I had the Beef stew with pickled vegetables as a side dish, alongside a beer. The flavour of the food and drink was outstanding, the atmosphere is great and the staff is lovely, they really try to make you feel welcome. Would love to come again!

"Beautiful restaurant, excellent food, and perfect service. We were there with our little baby. The baby got a high chair and their own cutlery. The waitstaff were very polite, kind, and pleasant – for us, 100 points. The food was excellent. We definitely recommend it.

I like: Nice romantic atmosphere. Quiet enough despite the fact that the place is quite popular. There are tables indoors and outdoors. Nice friendly staff speaks English. Incredibly delicious food and drinks! I am thrilled with this place. You can eat here cheaply but solidly. I definitely recommend it, especially as it is within walking distance of the main attractions. I don't like: The door to the toilet is not locked.
