Brennessel is a student favorite in Freiburg, primarily for its EUR1.80 spaghetti bolognese,…read moreavailable at that price from 6pm to 7:30pm (it's EUR3.50 otherwise). The other dishes aren't expensive, but they don't provide great value, either. The pork chop can be somewhat overcooked and only a little cheaper than at other places. Service can be halfway decent sometimes, at other times inattentive and even a little rude. The beer on tap is, unfortunately, Ganter's various forms of slough-water, though they also have Guinness (strangely, you can't get a whole pint, though). I've never tried the Guinness here. They also serve some other beers out of bottles. It's not a bad place for a student restaurant/bar, but it's not a place to look for unless you want to spend almost nothing on a Bolognese. That's what brings most people, and that's all I'd recommend them for.

Come here for the cheap food and to try it once. If you like the atmosphere and the food, you will…read morealways come again because it's incredibly cheap.

Lovely interior with two large rooms and thrifted furnitures á la granny's apartment. The outdoors…read moreseating on a lush veranda is also pretty and welcoming. Friendly and serviceminded staff very generous portions and reasonable prices. All that deserves a definite 4. However the vegan stew with beans and root veggies I opted for was very bland and boring, healthy but alas not at all up to standard with what you expect from decent vegan food in 2016. Extra plus for great wifi and the sweet, unpretentious vibe in Vauban.
