Why Travelers Love Centimeter beim
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Dined alone here on 12/11/25. Upon arrival I was greeted with a smile & shown to my table. The decor was a mixture of 'vintage' and 'classic', with the occasional measurement pun, a nod to the restaurants name. The service was swift, and all staff polite & friendly, providing me with English menus, and my first drink within a few minutes. I waited for 12 minutes for my food, a perfectly acceptable wait time for Goulash. And it was well worth the ~€17 that I paid for it. Excellent beef, sauce & dumplings. The chocolate cake dessert was a fantastic addition to my order, too. All food, service and atmosphere absolutely 10/10. Came here at opening hours, so I got a window seat. The interior was decorated with beer signs and lots of miniature beer truck toys (according to the owner, roughly 4000!). There's a very rustic and cozy feel to the place, making the place warm and comfortable on cold days. The owner and staff were extremely friendly, recommended some menu items, and they regularly came to check on us to see if everything was fine. The food was delicious and served in a large portion. The weiner schnitzel breading was light, so one wouldn't be sick of eating such a large portion. The potato side dish with acidity from shallots were a great compliment to the main dish. Unfortunately we were already full, so we didn't get a chance to sample the desserts. Definitely worth a visit to relax and enjoy a nice meal! A nice restaurant with good food. The garlic soup was perfect. We took a wheelbarrow of food for four people; the dish turned out to be too large for four. Delicious pork chops and grilled meat, good fries, and various varieties of dumplings. I recommend this place, both the food and the service.

Excellent restaurant, located in a cozy and quiet place. Inside it is very cozy and comfortable. It is nice to spend time with friends. However, it is also very good alone. A large selection of dishes for every taste. All food is prepared from fresh products. Apparently, a good cook. The staff is very good and highly professional. Attention to visitors is constant, no one waits for the waiter to come.
