The Schuh-Lady
Once upon a time there was an enchanting young lady, as beautiful and graceful as a princess. People loved coming to her small, fine store full of lovingly made chocolate specialties. When the time came for the young woman to get married, a big competition was held in the village. Young men from all over the country gathered to pay their respects to the beautiful lady and win her over with daring feats, expensive gifts and musical performances. But she chose the shoemaker, who presented her with a magnificent shoe made of the finest chocolate, as the prince of her heart.

We settled down on the terrace of the chic café and feasted on a large “Schuh” and a small “Schuh”. Plus a cappuccino. It was delicious and the service was very courteous and polite.
Also in 2021 and now in 2022 in a newly restored and tastefully furnished look, a pleasure. The new outdoor design with lounge in the shade of the horse chestnut trees is simply a dream. The menus and desserts, of course, perfect as always. Simply perfect!
Despite being late (informed by phone), Mr. Michel reserved a particularly nice place for us. Thank you very much! The tartare was excellent! Very friendly service. I would love to come back.
We ate here on New Year’s Eve. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was very tasty. We very much enjoyed the evening in the freshly renovated restaurant and will definitely be back.
