About Cafe venues

A cafe is a relaxed spot built around coffee, tea and light food such as pastries, sandwiches and breakfast plates. Cafes are typically informal places to sit, work or meet rather than full-service restaurants.

Germany's restaurant landscape balances a deep-rooted tradition of hearty regional cooking with a sophisticated modern dining scene. Sausages, pretzels, schnitzel and sauerkraut reflect the country's culinary heritage, but German cities now host acclaimed international restaurants and a strong farm-to-table movement. Biergartens and Gaststätten (traditional inns) are central to German social life, while the country's large Turkish, Italian and Vietnamese communities have shaped everyday eating habits across every city.
