I just came back from that restaurant!
Its in Harburg, which…read moreis 20 minutes south of hauptbahnhof.
The place itself is such an impressive restaurant. We were all pleasantly surprised by the mechanism behind this restaurant.
Once you are seated you are given a card - much like Vapiano, however, you also get your own computer screen. You tap the number of your seat, and order whatever u want to eat or drink. They have a choice of wine, beer, non alcoholic drinks, meat, fish, vegetarian, salad, dessert and kids menu.
After you order, you sit and wait, then depending on what your ordered (between 1 and 10 minutes) your food comes sliding down one of the pipes and lands on your table.
The best part is, it comes in a the color of your seat (every seat has its own color ranging from black to white passing by blue yellow pink etc.) and a small sticker specifiying what table, seat and whats the order.
I have never been to a restaurant which is as ingenious as this one. we spent two hours saying how wonderful it is. and how amazing it is that the food is sent down those spirals.
However the food isnt that good. its cheap i grant you that, 10 euros for a steak, 8 for a schnitzel but its average, not a notch more than average. and another down point is that you cannot personalize, you can just order whats on the menu.
all in all worth the trip down to harburg, but i wont be eating there daily. Probably when i have guests...
