Mit großem Bedauern sehe ich seit ca zwei Jahren ein geschlossenes Restaurant. Fehlt mir sehr!!! Was ist wohl aus den unglaublich sympatischen, netten und freundlichen Damen im Service geworden???

Wir hatten Marillenknödel und Kaiserschmarrn. War beides schön angerichtet und geschmacklich gut. Marillen waren noch sehr sauer. Für mitte Juni ist das aber OK.

Ottimo posto per un ristoro dopo una passeggiata sulla tappeiner. Purtroppo riaprirà solo a maggio 2021. Personale educato e gentile. Lo consiglio.
