On the town's liveliest square, Petersilie is a great spot to try local wines (including organic wines) by the glass, or to knock back a frothy beer. Umbrella-shaded tables spill onto the square in warm weather. Bar snacks include gold-medal-winning Pfälzer Saumagen (chestnut-stuffed pig's stomach pâté), Flammkuchen (regional-style pizza) and potato soup.
