Reservations suggested for dinner. Dress is informal. Prices are moderate. Justifiably one of the most popular restaurants in the city, this former brewery has bold frescoes on its vaulted ceilings, and a surprisingly light even though completely authentic German atmosphere and cuisine. If the weather is good, be sure to dine outdoors in the beer garden.
Prices are moderate.
With its stunning location right by the cathedral, this gracious, old fashioned, formal hotel, boasts old world elegance and the kind of discreet, efficient service rarely found today. The flower filled public rooms are grand, the large antique filled bedrooms have extraordinarily high ceilings and the service is so close to perfect that it should serve as a model to hotelliers and restaurateurs the world over. The hotel is very expensive, but even if you cannot afford to stay here, be sure to stop at the terrace coffee bar for a five p.m. snack. The lobster sandwiches, the artichoke and potato pancakes and the eggplant mousse are among my own favorite dishes here. For dessert try any of the rich cakes or the excellent ice creams.
