Stopped in while waiting for others to finished looking at the museum !!! pleasant enough sitting outside nothing was in English, but luckily somebody tried to help me. I had a good piece of apple pie and a cappuccino. What else should you do when you’re waiting for someone and you’re in Germany but have apple pie and cappuccino

Wir waren rundum begeistert vom Anna-Maria-Restaurant. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und herzlich. Das Preisniveau ist mittelpreisig und absolut angemessen für die Qualität, die geboten wird. Das Essen war sehr lecker, geschmackvoll angerichtet und liebevoll serviert – das Auge isst hier definitiv mit. Auch das Ambiente ist stilvoll und einladend gestaltet. Wir hatten vorab einen Tisch reserviert und konnten die Zeit sowie das Essen in vollen Zügen genießen. Klare Empfehlung!

Worth a visit after exploring the Kunstpalast. Arguably worth coming just to eat. The truffle pasta was really soaked in sauce and had a large portion of truffles shaved on top. The Polpo was better than average, grilled but soft. My fsvote dish was the Creme Brulee and an Espresso.

Back for a second visit, this time for lunch after a visit to the museum. Really fantastic lentil soup and potato pancakes. Also, the tea with fresh mint and ginger is something special. It can be a bit cramped, not a lot of tables, but the food is really excellent.
