Top-class, home-style food, a great ambience inside and outside as well as a top-class service team 👍❗ The boss is almost always there and gives the restaurant a very special “touch”. In short... highly recommended, our regular restaurant❗It's a shame that it only has 5 stars 😉😉

At first I was skeptical about the recommendation. Outdoor ambience with a bit of room for improvement. But otherwise: Very positive surprise. Friendly, thoughtful service. Food (meat-heavy menu, obviously a butcher shop…) excellent. A recommendation for meat and steak lovers, especially since the side dishes are also tasty. Will be very happy to come back.
