"We celebrated and ate Walpugis with about 50 people in the conveyor tower. All guests were impressed by the kindness of the staff and the excellent organization of the food. It tasted fantastic and the dishes were also visually beautifully tabled. We have never left a place that à la Carte-Essen has offered for 50 people at the same time. Chapeau! We like to come back, but first in a small round."

"Before making a km walk through the forest near Bad Harzburg we decided to visit the café Winuwuk. Partly because we would like to have a coffee and a snack anyway, partly because of the interesting history and architecture of the café. It has...been designed in the early by the German sculptor and painter Bernhard Hoetger who at that time had become a member of the expressionist movement. Owners Walter and Dore Degener, artists themselves and friends of Hoetger, wanted to create a gallery in which they could show their new and young art and decided to combine that with a café for economic reasons. Thus their Winuwuk Café and art gallery was opened in Actually, Winuwuk stands for “Will ist neu und Weg unserer Kunst”, which can roughly be translated as “Will means new and the way to our art”. The current owners have added a second interpretation: “Weg Im Norden Und Wunder Und Kunst ” (Way in the North and wonder and art). Having arrived at the café which is situated at the edge of town on a slope next to the forest, one immediately notices the “arty” structure standing out of the rest of the houses. Once seated in the inside our eyes went back and forth, examining the interesting details. Original chairs, a cosy fireplace in the middle, red-brownish rounded supporting pillars, curved walls and pivot posts with no straight angle whatsoever. We felt a bit like being part of the set of “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”. For those who like that expressionist silent movie, we think the Winuwuk Café is a must-see if you’re staying anywhere near Bad Harzburg. Concerning the drink and the snack, Winuwuk offers a modest menu: several kinds of tea and coffee, homemade Kuchen (cake), a soup or two, bread or toast with meat or cheese and about five simple main dishes. Prices are a little above average but we don’t think they’re too high. The café is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week it opens from half past eleven in the morning until six in the afternoon, kitchen closing at pm. Be aware there’s no possibility to pay with card, cash money only. Expressionism at the Winuwuk has not been limited to the building and the interior itself. Cups, plates and dishes are also matching as a kind of expressionist design-ware. Because it’s situated at a slope you’ll get a very nice views towards the north at the window, or during summer from the terrace on the backside of the Café. Don’t forget to visit the “Sonnenhof” in the garden. In matching architecture this shop in the backyard offers arts and crafts for sale. We had a coffee, beer and a soup, all served by friendly waitress and really enjoyed the interior and atmosphere of the café. Will definitely revisit the Winuwuk if ever around again."

"Das Zimmer ist für eine Übernachtung ausreichend. Etwas schade, dass das WC auf dem Flur ist. Da kann man aber bei dem guten Frühstück am Morgen drüber hinweg sehen. Ich würde dort wieder einkehren."

"The Flösser Stube Oker is offering a great schnitzel promotion this week, where each schnitzel only costs €11.11. So I reserved a table for yesterday evening. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was also served quickly. Schnitzel with cream mushrooms: The two schnitzels were good and tender. The creamed mushrooms had a good consistency. The fried potatoes with onions were very good.

"In the autumn holidays I was with my daughter and her two friends in Altenau. Since the visit of the wind bag king did not work on the way to Goslar (because of the construction site at the bridge), we moved it to the end of the holiday. What we did not know at that time were changed opening hours from November. (Saturday Sunday from 11 h) So we broke up with dog for a big walk and arrived quite frozen at 10:30 h at the restaurant. Door was open... The host said it wasn't open yet, but he could bring us some hot coffee or cocoa. Of course we accepted that. The order was somewhat difficult for my 3 young ladies because of the special wishes, but was received with patience and humour. Special requests are always in there, as all wind bags are freshly prepared and are not already on stock. We enjoyed the wind bags (both sweet and hearty) and only managed with combined forces. Price performance is good and operation very nice."
