"We had traditional dishes for lunch. The food was very tasty and the portions generous. The service was very good as well.
Excellent value for money. Most likely the best restaurant I visited during my 5-day trip in Germany."
Leonidas Malamis
"The spitzle was really nice full of flavor and texture, on the other hand the schnitzel was not at all what was expected and fell short to deliver any lasting impression, I guess the combination was a bit too much for the Spargel cheese and pork ! not recommended at all"
Mash
"I ate there twice. I found the food to be quite tasty and generous in portions. Both times I ate outdoors which I found quite pleasant. Unfortunately, the first evening I was there the restaurant was understaffed, but the second evening was quite nice with friendly waitresses. Obviously, I would return there if I again find myself in Tübingen."

Tübingen sights - Old town tour
My big tour of the old town takes me further down Marktgasse to the Kornhaus (granary), which today houses the city museum, to the Krumme Brücke ("crooked bridge") and to the Ammergasse,to the Salzstadel (salt barn), to the Jakobuskirche (St. James' Church - which is a stop on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela), to the Fruchtkasten (fruit box - today the citizens' office) until Nunnery. The listed half-timbered house was built in 1488 as a ladies' convent and, at 30 meters long, is one of the largest half-timbered houses in Tübingen. The Ammerkanal runs through Tübingen's old town and contributes to the picturesque appearance of many lively corners.
Tübingen – die besten Tipps für die schöne Universitätsstadt
Nicht verpassen solltet ihr in der Altstadt auch die Gegend um die Krumme Brücke und die Ammergasse. Hier plätschert die Ammer in einem Kanal munter vor den Häusern entlang, wo früher Gerber und Färber wohnten. Durch die benachbarte Haaggasse schlendere ich auch richtig gerne.

… and leads to the charming Krumme Brücke, the “crooked bridge” where the Ammer scenically flows – or rather, trickles – around a 90-degree corner.
