This restaurant is just off the beaten path and is totally worth it. Great meal for colder or rainy days but if your like me, spätzle is good any day, and in any weather. It is reasonably priced and uses organic ingredients. I would recommend the small, the large will have you rolling out of there!

I was wandering around the Altstadt and had decided that I was going to go to Carlsplatz for lunch when I found this place. A place with only spätzle? Why not?Great idea for a restaurant. There are many options for the vegetarian and for the meat lover. You also can decided between a small plate or a large place with a price difference of approximately 2 euros. I ordered the spätzle with the beef goulash. When I sat down, they brought me the cheese spätzle instead which I accepted because I don't like to waste food. They then offered a complimentary side of beef goulash which then turned out to be the ideal dish -- super savory and delicious without the heaviness.The layout of the restaurant is quite small - just 6 places with barstools and 2 large community tables but the turnover is relatively quick during lunch hour.I think this would be a great place to bring out of town guests (especially the vegetarian ones!) who want a traditional German meal without the grease and heaviness. All the spätzle is handmade and organic and the portions are filling. One can eat well and have a drink for 10 euros or less!
