Had a great plum pie with reasonable coffee. Salads were ok, lots of vinegar and rettich in it. Baked potatoes rather fatty, but enjoyed by our daughter after a couple of hours hiking. One of the waitresses asked if we could please order something simple, because it was too busy.... I rather thought they must be happy to have a full terras on a my Monday noon. Still, service was good and fast.

Good was good (portions are massive so if you are not starving a small portion should do) staff was friendly and service was quick. Highly recommended if you are in the area (PS. Very well priced as well - 24 euros for 2 including beer)

It's right on the Malerweg trail, and is a perfect spot to rest your weary legs and get an ice cream, or lunch. They have a lovely garden that's excellent for relaxing.

Wow, that was really a taste experience. I certainly ate the best schnitzel of my life here. The tavern is located on Malerweg, so it is perfect for a stop during the tour. And the food just tastes amazing. Above all, the different types of vegetables all went together so well and tasted excellent. The schnitzel was huge and beautifully prepared, and the fries were also very good. You should definitely take a look here!

We had the Galloway roast and the schnitzel. Both very good. Nice ambience in the beer garden with a view of the renovated tavern. Service was quick and helpful, considering that all tables were occupied. Recommended rest on the Malerweg!

My sister had booked a table for us today. The restaurant is inconspicuous, but a great insider tip! We sat outside. The food was a poem! Service was very nice. We'll definitely be back!

Tavern above the Waitzdorf Stairs, very friendly service, and the mushroom cream sauce is really incredibly tasty! I have never had my fries with cream sauce prepared so lovingly, even with a really delicious salad bouquet! 😍
