Went in here as our normal cafe smithtons at sharnans cross had stopped serving at 3.00. I have to say I was really impressed and so was my partner, great English breakfast and a very friendly and polite gentleman server. Would 100% recommend
The German Cafe makes really good schnitzel! Peter is very friendly and attentive and I enjoyed my lunch there.
Stopped in here for some german food and it did NOT disappoint. There's no german food near where I live and I've been wanting some. The jaeger schnitzel was amazing, maybe even the best mushroom sauce I've ever had. The wiener schnitzel was really good too. Sauerkraut and fried potatoes were delicious. This definitely hit the spot, and the staff were so welcoming as well. Will definitely eat here again the next time we are in the area!
Wonderful place! I saw it on the map and wanted to try it out since I love schnitzels. I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I walked in - the decorations transported me to a cosy mountain hut in Bavaria! The staff were very friendly and when I ordered my food the cook personally came over to serve my schnitzel. I was delighted to see she's German herself and after I said 'Vielen Dank' we ended up having a chat entirely in German! Had to brush up on my language skills there, but the lady was kind and patient. A few of the other visitors seem to be regulars and they joined in as well. Overall, it was a very social and lovely experience and I was delighted with the magnificent schnitzel with mushroom sauce, kartoffelpuree (potato mash) and sauerkraut (sour cabbage)! Definitely would come again and recommend for anyone seeking that Bavarian experience here in the UK!
I still remember coming to this little place when it first opened many moons ago. The people were as lovely as I remember them to be and the food was spot on. The schnitzel was perfectly done and the chips were golden and crispy. The bratwurst roll was also amazing and a perfect afternoon snack. If you’re ever in the area, highly recommend checking out this hidden gem and give our local businesses a bit of extra support.
Lovely. I live locally and have passed this place hundreds of times. Finally popped in this morning. Had a bacon and sausage sandwich, which was really nice. Served by a very pleasant gentleman, who was also preparing all food for customers in the cafe as well as delivery orders. He seemed to be coping very well. There's a good selection of food on the menu, so I will definitely be back. It's very nice inside, with comfy seats, all very clean, and very calm too. Tony Bennett, Arethra Franklin and Billy Paul being played quietly in the background, just loud enough to enjoy but not loud enough to be a distraction. Genuinely a very nice place.
I've been meaning to try this place for a while, and to be fair the food was really nice. I really enjoyed the currywurst in the spicy sauce. The chips were thick and crunchy too. For me the bit that detracted slightly was the portion size of sausage, as a main dish, I would have liked more.
Fantastic food you can see the cook takes pride in their food and presentation. Mushroom sauce I had to try it on the side, it was a great compliment. Nice glass of wine and they had chilli sauce tooooooo.
As a local Postie Ive been walking past this place up to 6 days a week for over 2 decades, I finally ate here 15/1/23 with a friend and wasn't disappointed. The premises is cosy and clean, staff very helpful and friendly without being too "full on" and the food was excellent too. Plenty of choice, veggie options and authentic dishes very well presented, I had a schnitzel and ate every last bit. Will definitely visit again
Let me quote my gf after we sat in the car "wow, this was the best food" and she's the more fussy one. We had schnitzel with mushroom sauce and it was amazing. Only two members of staff on busy day, every table full plus delivery drivers picking meals every 10-15min, frankly we were surprised how well the waitress and the lady in the kitchen served so many people , with clean tables, timely service and fresh food. We drove from banbury , I wish we had a place like this here. Anyways, we will be back.
