"Worst coffee I've had in years. We ordered two americanos (at EUR 4 each), which were burnt and bitter, totally undrinkable. The waiter was rude and unwelcoming."

We did not have to go far as just on our right, on the corner of Beim Grafeneckart, was Eiscafe-Restaurant Fontana, an ice-cream lover’s piece of heaven. Not only was the café/ restaurant offering a wonderful selection of ice-creams and sorbets, but its position was also ideal for people-watching, absorbing the atmosphere of this part of the town, with the Grafeneckart and Town Hall just across the way. (The restaurant also served the biggest plates of salad I think I have ever seen in all of our travels!)
