Essen began in the mid-9th century as home to a women's abbey, then during the Renaissance became an important coal mining town and later a major steel production center. The famed metal-working Krupp family opened their first foundry here in 1810. One of Essen's most interesting places is the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, once the largest colliery in the world. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts 800,000 visitors a year, often hosting art exhibitions and performances.

Pottsalat macht leckere und frische Salate. Es ist zwar nicht ganz billig, aber definitiv das Geld wert. Zuerst hatte ich Sorge, dass ich nicht satt werde, was sich zum Glück nicht bewahrheitet hat.Sowohl Lieferung als auch Abholung im Laden klappte problemlos.Meine Empfehlung ist die Killer Kowalski Bowl mit einer Superfood Stulle!

I went here several times last years while visiting my sister. The building is a bit hidden away from the street. Like other reviewers mentioned the atmosphere is more casual.Downstairs they offer large tables for groups and upstairs a bit more usual restaurant like setting. Certainly this is a perfect place for large groups or family with children, because no one will bother about the noises since it is already noisy anyway.I ordered here once pasta, but that was a slight let down since it was not anything special ( my pasta with mushrooms had no fresh mushrooms). But the pizzas are big, thin/crispy and the topping is good. The wine selection is decent too. Since this summer they offer also homemade ice cream, but there are certainly better gelato to find in Essen.

We went for a salami with spicy salami, capers and a LITTLE garlic.We got a regular salami pizza with capers but TONS of garlic.Overall quite average - the pizza reminds me of something from the 1980s.They also don't do any lunch deals, and the water is quite expensive.

Due to doctor's order :-( I had some grilled veggies, salad and salmon dish. Not orgasmic but very nice. Great expresso and good service. I think the location makes the difference, it is a great outdoor place with healthy food, a rarity in Essen. Worth trying.

Wir waren am Sonntagabend zum Abendessen da. Unsere Gerichte waren sehr lecker, frisch und reichhaltig. Die Kellnerinnen und Kellner waren sehr freundlich, schnell und zuvorkommend. Die Gerichte, die es zusätzlich gab und die nicht auf der Karte standen, wurden ausführlich und mit Preis erläutert. Die Athmosphäre ist gemütlich, der Biergarten sehr schön. Eine gute Empfehlung für gute deutsche Küche!

Cozy restaurant with modern interior. Food was very good. Service was fast at the beginning, but as soon as more guests were coming it became much slower although restaurant was not really full. It was almost impossible to make additional order and we were waiting far too long for our bill.

We went here yesterday and it was disappointing compared to the very good references on TripAdvisor. The special wines on the blackboard arenât good. The bottle isnât shown and all wines taste like mud. We tried them all... We should have chosen the pasta with fish because with fish, it wasnât possible to serve pasta. We got a small plate for almost â¬30 with a few potatoes and rice. Too much money for that! Desserts were great, but we were shocked we had to pay â¬200 in the end for 4 persons. Donât go here, too much of a rip-off.

...the interior was satisfying at best (not "very good" as four points would imply) and the presentation of the dishes not necessarily what one would call haute cuisine. Don't get me wrong, liked the taste of most of the tapas fair enough and the service surely was friendly, but this would justify a 3,5 ratio at best, with a stronger tendency towards "satisfying" rather than being "very good". Still recommendable to visit, although not a place to show off.

Spanish cuisine in a very nice environment.Quality of food is very high and it impressed me positively. Good selection of wine and friendly staff. Music at the right volume and of good taste. I am waiting to come back there during summer as they have a small garden it should me nice to enjoy.
