A great culinary experience - absolutely recommended

The surprise menu is great! Had a wonderful evening with very nice service and delicious wine.

We've been to L'Apero with our relatives from Lindenthal for the sixth time now – and every time it's been a real highlight! I honestly don't understand many of the sub-4* reviews, because for us, this restaurant is the absolute #1 on Dürener Straße. Ambience: L'Apero captivates with its enchanting atmosphere: stylish decor, high ceilings, a chic bar, and especially the seats by the window or outside offer a great view of the hustle and bustle on Dürener Straße. The interior is lovingly designed and invites you to relax. Host: The couple who run it are always friendly, polite, and pleasantly unobtrusive. You immediately feel welcome. I particularly like that the chef sometimes comes to the table personally to say hello or to let you know if the rump steak needs an extra minute – and then it really is cooked to the minute! Food: In terms of cuisine, L'Apero is a real hit for me. We've tried many dishes: from various tarts, prawns (the number 1 recommendation), beef carpaccio, tuna fillet, to pasta and rump steak – everything was always fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The selection of drinks is also top-notch. Particularly noteworthy: The value for money is absolutely fair considering the location and quality. A perfectly prepared rump steak with side dishes for €28 (as of June 2025) is truly reasonable in the fine Lindenthal area. Conclusion: For me, the overall package at L'Apero is just right: great atmosphere, excellent food, warm hosts, and fair prices. The website could be a bit more modern, but that's really no reason to deduct points – after all, it's the on-site experience that counts. My tip: Treat yourself to a lovely evening with friendly people, excellent food, and relaxed prices in this authentic slice of life in the heart of Lindenthal. We'll definitely be back – and every time we've been there or call, we're always told: "That was a lovely evening!" Bon appetite!

The food is just as fantastic as the place itself. One of my absolute favorite spots — always a pleasure to come back🫶🏼😽
