For Saturday, Sunday brunch, it is a perfect place. They are already packed around 10:30 so if you want to sit inside, 10:30 might be too late. but they have a heater outside so it's very warm. I sat outside for 2hrs and it was very warm:) if you order Brunch buffet&one coffee it will be 15€ per person. One glass of orange juice is included in the Buffet. Everything was very well prepared and the service is also very nice. They accept cash and cards.

What an amazing restaurant! Exquisite food, delicious local beer, and a very friendly service. On top of that, you enjoy a gorgeous view of the Dreisam river. Perfect place to go after biking along the river.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure to visit Freiburg alongside my friends and we stopped at Cafe Extrablatt for the whole afternoon. It was the right decision as both the views (near the river) and the service from the waiters were wonderful. In case I manage to pass by Freiburg again I won't hesitate to visit this place again.

I come here for breakfast whenever I visit. Classic German breakfast. A great selection of cured meats, cheeses, fresh vegetables, breads, spreads, eggs, bacon, hot and cold cereal, yogurt, and pastries. It is a comprehensive spread!

Interesting place to go in Freiburg for a coffee, food or drinks. During my time there ordered a cappuccino, hot chocolate and vegan burguer. The surprise for me was the burguer. Didn’t expect how enough was for my hungry and really good tasty. About the service: all of them are friendly. You can order your food by QR Code or with the staff. Ordering by QR Code you can pay by paypal - if you don’t have is not a problem, just order in a normal way :) If you can I recommend you to stay outside. Really nice with the river in front of the Café.

Food was great, we were looking for a Schnitzel and they had bratwurst too, so my bf and I decided to both get one of the dishes. The portions were perfect, you are full afterwards but not too full that you'll explode. The ice tea was a bit watery, but the beer of my bf was nice and cold. The service was good, the guy who took the order was such a cutie, he looked a bit like Harry Styles. The atmosphere was nice for a sunny day as today. The music was a great addition and yet you could still hear the cobbling of the water. We still need to try their Harry Shotter menu!

Lovely restaurant next to the river. The ambience is great and the food is delicious. Good portion size, prices are reasonable and service is quick. Car parking is available right outside the restaurant.
