Münster
Location, location, location. A2, right on the Aasee, certainly has got it. The glass walls and designer furniture scream trendy, but this bar-bistro-restaurant actually appeals to a diverse range of imbibers and munchers who come for the views. The spacious waterside terrace is a dreamy spot for sundowners.
Note the nearby Giant Pool Balls sculpture by Claes Oldenburg.
