주말마다 커피와 스페인 오믈렛을 먹으러 갑니다. 여러곳에서 스페인 오믈렛을 먹어봤지만 여기가 가장 맛있어요. 주인분은 항상 친절하게 맞아주십니다.

Das Essen ist großartig und der Kaffee sehr lecker! Die Inhaber sind extrem freundlich und herzlich. Es ist das beliebteste Nachbarschaftslokal in der Gegend. Immer ist was los. Aber kein Wunder - alles ist super hier! Wir haben es hier geliebt.

De casualidad fui a parar allí y una acierto, el servicio super simpático y amable. Se respiraba un ambiente familiar, se nota que van allí los vecinos de la zona. Un acierto, la tostada de tomate con jamón muy buena.
