Following the complete redevelopment of the former Quartierkneipe, the high level of beer consumption has been replaced with Italian cuisine in the form of the Zagara restaurant. The large windows allow a lot of light in, and the interior is consciously, but not ostentatiously stylish, as can be seen in the white tablecloths with the restaurant's name embroidered on them. The dishes of the day are those in which the creativity of the kitchen is concentrated. You have to try the desserts - the Panna Cotta is amazing. The wine card is unspectacular, but reasonable.
