By the time I remembered to take a photo of our food, I was staring at our empty plates. The restaurant deserves more than 5 stars in every way. The food was awesome!

Wir kennen den Guten aus Wittlich, daher wissen wir das hier Qualität groß geschrieben wird. Haben bisher 2x Combinatione bestellt, leider nur zum mitnehmen. Schmeck immer super lecker. Kommen demnächst dann auch mal zum Essen im Restaurant vorbei. Dann probieren wir die Pizza.
