It's really difficult with a German background to find authentic German food in this city. However there was a time over 30 years ago when this restaurant was at the top of its game. Owners have changed at least 3 times during this period and most of the decor is still left over from the first owner. It was a real treat having this in Scarborough at one time and I believe there's still an opportunity for this place to excel. Unfortunately like many things it has changed too. The area is seedy and feels unsafe at most times of the day. The food doesn't have the same loving commitment that the first or even the second owner demonstrated in their culinary skills. The prices are far to high for the quality of food. Added to this is a poor wine list and only limited beers. Fortunately once you're inside the restaurant the atmosphere takes you away from the outside view. (small blessings). The best I can give this place is an OK. At least try the schnitzel with home fries and red cabbage. Oh and don't forget a cold Hacker-Pschorr. Top it off with a Rüdesheimer Kaffee on a cold day.
