About

Balthasar pairs a broad breakfast menu with seasonal lunch and dinner dishes, including clearly identified vegan choices such as oven-braised pointed cabbage and beetroot toast with walnuts. Exposed brick, outdoor seating on Aachener Straße, cocktails, and a reported Wi-Fi connection make it work for anything from brunch to an evening meal, though one diner reported a very long dinner wait.
