Was für ein wundervoller Ort! Wir fahren immer mal wieder ins Gartencafé und bauen es ab und zu in unsere Motorradtouren an die Elbe ein. Es ist einfach nett dort und unserer Meinung nach lohnen sich die 150 km Anfahrt dafür.

Simple little café on the Elba cycleway. It has views over the river Elba and a pleasant garden.

Direkt an der Elbe, nicht weit von den Skulpturen, ein einfaches, aber angenehmes Café mit herrlichem Garten und, wie es zurecht heißt im Eingangsbereich heißt, "Mehr-Blick". Das Essen ist schlicht, aber die Preise sind es auch. Freundlicher Service. Und weiter gehts auf dem Deich oder zur Kunst!

Tolle Lage für eine Pause bei der Fahrradtour, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter (Inhaber), angemessene Preise. Innen ist das Lokal recht einfach gehalten, aber im Garten mit Blick auf das Wasser sitzt man wunderbar. Und das Bier war leider etwas zu warm. Fürs Ambiente drinnen und das nicht gekühlte Getränk nur vier Sterne, trotzdem ein Besuch wert.

Klein, aber fein. Direkt an der Elbe gelegen, mit einer gemütlichen Terasse. Die Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken ist überschaubar, aber völlig ausreichend. Für die persönliche Note sorgt der Besitzer selbst, der jeden Gast persönlich empfängt. Nicht nur für Radfahrer eine Pause wert.
