Before you dive into the delicious lunch or dinner menu, you’ll definitely want to start your dining experience with a huge Riezen Bretzel. This soft pretzel is so big that it takes up the entire platter. It’s served with both honey mustard and cheese sauce for your dipping pleasure.

The chewy pretzel has just the right amount of bite – not too tough, and definitely not soggy. You can see by its size that it’s meant to be shared with at least one other person (maybe four!).

The lunch and dinner menus are packed with traditional German fare, all created using authentic recipes brought straight from Heidelberg by owner Helga Schnakenberg.

For dessert, you’ll definitely want a slice of Bienenstich – a.k.a. Bee Sting Cake. It’s sweet and delicious, with a creamy custard filling inside.
