Authentic German food, great outdoor seating in beautiful, tranquil garden (great to get some work done) very reasonable prices, lovely staff - and frequently great cultural events in the adjacent Goethe institute. A short walk from Shwedagon pagoda and Kandawgyi lake. Definitely amongst my top 3 places in Yangon

Nice to see a different kind of menu. Predominantly German food it was quite tasty. The schnitzel was filling and well cooked. Fries were pretty poor. Chocolate cake and coffee were good The service was excellent. Lovely setting

This is my second visit, and the cafe's atmosphere is wonderful, as is the food. The sausage and salad were delicious. The beef in the beef stew was a bit tough, but I suppose that's to be expected here in Myanmar. I've heard great things about the chocolate tart and would love to try it next time.
