Casa del Café
A small, charming French cafe near the Old Bridge - house-made croissants, filled ciabattas and a carefully chosen wine selection.
The Casa del Café on Steingasse feels like a Parisian neighborhood cafe. The owner has transferred the original interior of a French cafe here. House croissants in many varieties, filled ciabattas (try the nettle cheese) and a small, fine Palatinate wine selection. In the evening, cocktails with charm.
