"Driving around Passau one lonely evening, our party stumbled across this restaurant whilst looking for something to eat. It looked decent on the outside, and parking was available, so we decided to go for it. One enters through an alleyway, with a toilet on one...side and a bountiful restaurant on the other. It is initially small in appearances on the inside, and we were led to a table in a dark but empty room being told that they could sit us in this darkness but that the outside was full. The waiter left to find a light for us; when he returned, however, we were told that they had found space for us outside. They had not lied when they said outside was full, we were led to the only table available in an entirely full medium-sized courtyard, and given English menus. Unfortunately, the daily specials were only in German, with Italian titles, and I ordered from the specials with my competent-but-limited German language skills. Seafood appeared to be the specialty in this restaurant's Italian cuisine which is, admittedly, a rarity among restaurants in Germany but this one seemed to pull it off exceptionally. My pasta dish consisted of scallops and tomato sauce, with a fish that I incorrectly translated on the menu as black bass (we later found out it was swordfish) and was very, very good. All other mains were thoroughly enjoyed, in various pasta forms from other Frutti di Mare variants all the way to vegetable and red meats. We did not initially intend to order dessert, but since we had enjoyed the previous two courses so much and the price was good we decided to stay for a sweet. The chocolate mousse similarly did not disappoint. Drinks were similarly very good. I sampled three of the wines whilst there, and all were excellent. The only thing that lets this restaurant down: once they have served you all the food that they think you will eat, they seem to forget about you. You will not order any more food after three courses; so it does not matter, in their eyes apparently, how long it takes to receive the bill. We waited over twenty minuets after first asking, with several more asks during the process. The goodbye was friendly, and with accompanying complimentary sweets which were appreciated, but the wait for the bill definitely unnecessary despite how good the food was and as a result I cannot leave this restaurant a five star rating."

"We only stopped in for drinks while on the walk over from St. Stephan Cathedral to cross the river and make the climb up to the Oberhaus castle... the large patio overlooks the confluence of the Donau and Ilz - what a perfect setting to enjoy a large mug of the delicious Bavarian Heffeweise (wheat beer) - my son - only 15 - was jealous he did not get to enjoy a brew with his 18 year old cousin! The pretzels did look tempting. The service is table service only - large signs on the outdoor bar to the effect "Take-away Verboten" - but table service was quick and friendly - after our beers we were fortified to make the steep climb up to the castle - but it would be very easy to while away a sunny and pleasant afternoon quaffing multiple brews in this beer garden!"

"The PADU in Theresienstraße makes a somewhat inconspicuous impression of this, the house itself to the street even a little unattended. You can reach the restaurant through a narrow passage to the backyard/sinter house where there is a (quite outdoors and an indoor area. On the way there are a few steps to overcome, parking must be seen where to park (Old Town only. ERSTER EINDRUCK: Beautiful sunny courtyard and an elongate vault room with modern furniture, a single operation that hurls around the tables, a huge wood stove at the end of the guest room, discrete background music. The above-described situation with a view from the road. All in all, no reason not to return. So there is room with an overview and things that come. SERVICE: The service did its job well, even if it had time to do it right. The tone was rather student simple, wishes were partly recognized with a Jawoll!, for the cozy going out into the second (or more is this rather nothing, with young audiences who are just going through. You get your time to pick up food and drinks, unfortunately during the meal no demand whether it fits and if anything else needs. It was a bit more than OK, but it wasn't quite good. (that would be unfair to other 4-star prices, that is 3.5 stars. ESSEN: The menu consists of two boards that are bound together with cord, between DinA5 clear covers with the pages (always not directly from the printer, but they were designed correctly. The offer is usually pizza, salads and pasta, expensive meat or even fish dishes are not available here. I ordered a pizza Salvador (with many ingredients, including rocket, pepperoni, cherry tomatoes etc., in size 38cm to 10.90. After a reasonable time, I got the pizza on the table, a murder chest. Here I have to go straight to my pre-criticism, which was very active some time ago in Passau... he gave 5 stars I think to be clear too generous (also in another place I was already of a different opinion like him. The pizza was not bad, but sensational cheap it was also not, especially as I was pampered by my favorite pizza baker in Ortenburg. On the one hand I found the pizza a little flavored, on the table there was only salt and pepper TAXER... that were design objects, but tax remains scatterer, no matter how hip and elegant the appearance. I think I have to start a citizens' initiative with Wastel. Save the pepper mill. Then I kind of didn't fit the consistency. I can't explain it, but somehow the floor seemed a bit diligent, even if the pizza was well baked. I had trouble cutting. Some guests before me have already had this effort because my (Steak Knife was already a bit hacked (both strong pressing: one of the rivets connecting the plastic handle to the blade had jumped out. However, as I am a friend of solutions, I simply took another knife from the jug on the table (which was also significantly sharper later, I noticed how other guests ordered chili oil, the opportunity I also took and got a small tray with such glasses with recognisable chili and you hear and staunch garlic oil (with inlay). Why not offer? The other ingredients made a fresh impression. All in all, I can come out with great benevolence (of course also for the oil 3.5 stars. AMBIENTE AND SAUERKEIT: Here I can see myself briefly, it was all recognizable clean, the room is cozy, especially the courtyard invites you to stay... there I give you 4 more. PLV: For my 10,90 I have a huge pizza, but I wasn't very happy with it, so I'll take half a star. There are also cheaper lunches, but I didn't test them. FAZIT: It was already okay, maybe even a little more, but from the chair it did not break me and I cannot sign the 5 stars of my pre-criticism. For me personally, there are some other places that still want to test so that we can have a visit for a while."

"We stopped in here for lunch after the organ concert in the cathedral. It is so charming and cozy with a French there. We thought the food was very good though the waitress somehow misunderstood our order and failed to bring my husband's order. There...were four of us and she delivered three orders and left the table and didn't bring my husband's until he flagged her down. It might have been a communication issue when we were ordering. He eventually got his and we were all happy. It was a memorable meal and the cafe is really charming with a French vibe to it. Highly recommend it."
