"the local is cosy, the staff are super friendly, attentive and can help with asking vegan/vegetarian eating qualified. dogs were also welcome after a call. the portions were definitiw large enough to eat, larger than in other restaurants, and super delicious. I had the vegan carrot ginger soup, the cocos milk rice with mango pureee and a vegan waffel with fresh fruits. Yeah, I had to take some of it home after that because I didn't make everything."

"My wife and I tried to get in on a Sunday evening, early, but not a chance. The brush-off was kind of brusk, which is why I am only giving 4 stars. But there is a reason why you need a reservation, the food and service are really good. This time we made reservations for early on a Saturday evening. And, yes, they turned away a lot of people without reservations.We went to the restaurant hungry and could not possibly finish all the food presented. Just full disclosure. More German portions than Greek. We started with tzatziki, just since we had not had fresh fzatziki in a long time, and it did not disappoint. I may never be able to eat pre-made fzatziki again. The bread was really good too, hot and fresh. My wife ordered a broccoli appetizer, which was good, but it is hard to screw up broccoli. I ordered the cream of tomato soup, which was amazing, although the promised cream was not present. I could have stopped at this point.My wife ordered 'three small pork steaks'. They were not small. Not sure what the sides were, she ate them before I had a chance to sample. The chops were not as tender as we have had, but good nonetheless. I ordered the Helena-teller, Giros, ein Suflaki und ein Suzukiyros, I really had no idea what I was ordering, but everything was excellent. Came with tomato rice and fries, both very good. I wish I could have eaten more, but we took the rest home, so there is always tomorrow.Service was prompt and efficient, perhaps a bit understaffed. To my understanding, there are/were only two other Greek restaurants in town, and one has closed or is undergoing renovations, so this is an excellent choice. (We had a good experience at Ambrosia as well, but Platon is not currently in business.) The quantity of food for the price is a great value. Highly recommended.As long as you call ahead for a reservation!"

"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."

"we visited a Sunday and came 10 minutes before the kitchens closed. happy for us. I had the venison rouladen filled with pfefferlings mushrooms with sides of red cabbage and late zle. my wife had black medallions with mushroom sauce, mixed vegetables and Kaiserkartoffeln....Beide dishes were great and excellent. the venison was tender and the mushrooms worked very well together. the red cabbage was excellent and I could have had more. the pork was also excellent and lubricated in sauce. really loved the potatoes cooked with speck. However, note that they do not have credit cards. overall an excellent meal and we would definitely visit again if we returned to the opposite."

"We have been wanting to try the pizza at Allegro for some time and finally made it. Warning, the café is very small so you may want to make reservations. At on a Saturday we had to wait a bit for a table. My...wife ordered a gemischte (mixed) and I ordered a scharfe (spicy), and they were delivered quickly. The pizza here comes on a lavosh-like crust which was excellent. (I have had it before in the States, but this was my wife's first experience, and I think she was quite impressed Both pizzas were flavorful and satisfying. Personally, I think the sauce makes the pizza, and honestly good sauce can be hard to find in Europe, but Allegro nails it. My scharfe had hot salami, peperoni and lots of jalapeno peppers. I like spicy food, and this did not disappoint. I tasted my wife's as well, and it was delicious as well, with ham, salami and mushrooms. My wife ordered the special of the day after dinner, a cappuccino and a homemade slice of cake, her choice was a mandarin cheesecake. Of course I had to help her and it was wonderful. My only complaint would be that it took some time to get a fresh drink, and the check was hard to come by, but my wife keeps assuring me that this is just a very German thing, and it wasn't a big enough deal to change my rating. We will be going back to explore the menu further."
