"I ate here in summer 2018, and I honestly have never forgotten this place. I had a tasty lasagna, and like everywhere else in Bacharach, the view of the old streets from the outside seating area is gorgeous. The lady who ran the place was very kind and friendly. We had an amazing conversation about paintings and horses. Some people from my travel group forgot to pay and she very kindly sent them a reminder.
I hope she still works there, because it has been 7 years and I still think about this place. I hope to return again someday."

"We has been in Europe for almost a month and we ate here twice one of the best meals we ate! The flavor of the food was so good! We had dinner and dessert both nights. Amazing! The experience was also enchanting because the waitress shared a book with us with history of the city including pictures of the owner as a girl!"
