Bauerntanz

Augsburg


Belly-satisfying helpings of creative Swabian and Bavarian food – Spätzle (veal medallions) and more Spätzle – are plated up by friendly staff at this prim Alpine tavern with lace curtains, hefty timber interior and chequered fabrics. When the sun makes an appearance, everyone bails for the outdoor seating.
