To make it short: it’s not a Brettljause. It’s some ham and a piece of Bratenspeck you can probably buy at a supermarket for one third of the price. Or maybe you’ll buy something slightly worse, but not bad enough to make any kind of difference. It is also served with the horseradish the taste of which you are not going to notice and so little mustard that it looks like accidental bird shit. There is some picked cucumber, too.

The place is also very enjoyable – perhaps thanks to the really fresh bread, or the really good cheese plate you can take afterwards. The whole experience is expensive, relaxing and ultimately very pleasant – just don’t expect a Brettljause.

The weird thing is that just one year ago this was a cheap and rather disgusting hut serving Wiener Schnitzels and Goulash (still, no Brettljausen). Times change.
