Café direkt am Hauptfriedhof. Waren hier nach einer Beerdigung. Parkplätze sind in der Nähe eher etwas Mangelware. Soweit war alles gut, Essen und Getränke haben gepasst. Das Ambiente könnte etwas passender sein (da hier viele Trauergäste ein und aus gehen).

Alle Gerichte Flammkuchen, Linsen und Spätzle, Wurstsalat und Kartoffeltaler sind frisch zubereitet worden und haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Preis-Leistung top. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Sitzmöglichkeiten im Freien vor und neben dem Restaurant, innen sehr großzügig und viel Platz. Freundliches zuvorkommendes Personal. Mehr vegetarische Gerichte wünschenswert und auch einen Salat. Großer Parkplatz in der gleichen Straße 70m entfernt.

The Cafe is across from the cemetery which is definitely a plus. It's not the coziest place, but it's not bad either. Cake is OK.
