A sunny Saturday afternoon and the crowd of people sat on the terrace enjoying themselves proved too strong for us to just walk by and we decided to pop in for a light lunch and refreshment.
As we walked up we passed a BBQ with wonderful sausage and onion smells coming from it. We were greeted by a lederhosen clad smiling waiter. Just as luck would have it a table of two were just leaving so we took the seats in the sunshine and settled down with a pint of marzen for Steve and a kolsch for me in celebration of Oktoberfest.
We opted to share the sticky belly pork and scallops going for four pieces of pork and some frites with aioli. The food arrived quickly and we enjoyed the caramelised pork and the scallops that were cooked just to perfection. The bed of beansprouts it came on provided a nice refreshing salad accompaniment. The frites weren't really frites and more like roast potatoes. They were a little tough and soggy rather than crisp and fluffy and there were a lot of them.
We decided to hang around a bit longer as it was a nice place to sit. Before long the stein holding competition began and we watched about a dozen men hold out steins of water with the winner taking the crown after fifteen long minutes.
It was a fun place to spend a couple of hours and I'd happily return here and try the BBQ bratwurst next time.
