“Great expierence! Great taste! Great Service!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 6 days ago NEW
I went with my husband to this beautiful furnished Bistro. We were welcomed by the very warmhearted owner couple and a very friendly and helpful lovely waitress. As we asked for the todays dinner, we chose the recommendation of the day, it was "Paella".
We travelled to Spain a lot and tasted very often this wonderful meal. But we never had such a super great tasting "Paella" every. Also the first course was amazing. The very fresh salad with the house-made dressing was just excellent. Everything was really wonderful and we recommend to stop by there and enjoy everything by yourself. We will join this restaurant very soon again, although we have to travel a far way. Brigitte and Andreas

Lecker...lecker...lecker!!!!!
Authentische deutsche Küche, wie ich sie in den USA noch nicht erlebt habe. Das Essen wird frisch zubereitet, das sieht und schmeckt man bei jedem Bissen. Wir waren begeistert und werden nächstes Jahr wiederkommen.
Der Service ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Sandra, die Köchin, nimmt sich soagr die Zeit an den Tisch zu kommen, sowas haben wir in den USA noch nier erlebt.
Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Abend.

A great new addition to the restaurant scene in Port Charlotte. A good bistro feel, with a beautiful floor and a spacious feel inside, tables set well apart for optimal conversation. The menu is limited and I wish they offered a few soups or small appetizers if only to slow down the pace of the meal. The meal itself was filling and delicious. We had the Jagerschnitzel and zigeunerschnitzel and both were very good. I particularly enjoyed the homemade spatzle. We will definitely return.

Very attentive staff. Mathew is very friendly. The potato salad was the best I have ever had. The schnitzel sandwich was basic but delicious. Will definitely come back. The area is short on good places to eat.

Delicious! Me and my boyfriend were driving by and it caught our eye so we decided to stop. Very nice inside. The tzatziki sauce was amazing ! Me and my boyfriend both got that pork schnitzel and he got it burger style with the tzatziki sauce which was so tasty! Great service! Overall I will be coming back !

Best home cooking I've had at a restaurant. And I mean that as a compliment. Brought back memories of all our favorite off the beaten path great food places we love in Europe. Small friendly staff but big authentic flavor. Reasonable too.

Best kept secret in Port Charlotte area. I'm sure the owners don't want it to be a secret, but it is. We heard about it via a friend.
In addition to a varied menu, there are daily specials. Tuesday is Hungarian Gulasch with spatzli. No, not misspelled. It's the authentic spelling as is the meal.
It's a small place, located on Rt 41, north of Midway Blvd. As you enter you will be impressed by the greeting & by the decor. Very European looking an V E R Y C L E A N.
Service was very prompt. Server knew the menu well. Yes, we had the Special. Outstanding! More food than we could consume.
Sandra ( owner?) came out from the kitchen to greet us and verify the meal was o.k. A nice touch. She to is very authentic. From Germany.
Lastly, prices are very reasonable. Let's keep them busy so as to help them make it through the Summer.

Ate here for the first time following a great recommendation. So glad we chose to try it.

The pea soup was fantastic and clearly home made with loads of peas veggies and bacon. We also had a potato cake special with a salmon tartare that was excellent.

Entrees were schnitzels for two of us (the Hawaiian with ham and pineapple and cheese and the Black Forest with mushrooms. Both were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of breeding.

My husband had one of the daily specials which was a slow cooked beef roll with sauerkraut and a potato dumpling which was really tasty.

We were really full from the meal but brought dessert home for later!

The server was great - very knowledgeable and friendly and the owner/chef came out to chat after the meal. Great experience overall and I would highly recommend you try it out.

What a treat!

Great service, delicious potato pancake with salmon special today. Unexpectedly good.
