The most luxurious coffee and beer

Outdoor cafes can be found everywhere in Europe, with different history, scenery, sentiment, characteristics and popularity.

But as long as you step into the thousand-year-old city of Stein in eastern Switzerland, you will be really "thundered" in the city hall square. Stein's old medieval houses, dressed in wet murals, are full of lovely small shops on the first floor: cafes, wine shops, chocolate shops, clothing stores, etc., each building is full of popularity. It seems to tell us that buildings have a vivid soul only when they are used.

If such a place is not demolished or moved for "remote protection" in China, it is at least necessary to build a fence and pull up the gates to sell tickets. in front of such a small mural building, it must be surrounded by tourists who put up two fingers to take pictures during the day, and no one is deserted at night.

I. the exchange between people and ancient culture

In front of Stein, such a precious and magnificent art treasure, it is people who are drinking drinks and chatting, leisurely enjoying the most beautiful time of the day. One of the major features of the way Europeans treat precious ancient buildings is to use them and maintain and maintain them in use.

The tables, chairs and parasols placed on the old stone brick floor are very simple, but the small buildings with walls full of medieval wet murals are surrounded by screens, and such cafes are undoubtedly the most luxurious. How can we more fully enjoy the art treasures given by the ancients? Perhaps the most leisurely way is to sit down next to it and have a drink or something.

Come to think of it, after a day's walk, you sit down in the dimming sky and relax, with a cup of coffee in your hand and looking up slightly, there is such an art treasure. Generally speaking, not many people drink coffee in the cafe, and most people will choose a glass of German beer or Swiss wine. Under such a wet mural, it is witty to drink a glass of local white wine. Stein is a wine-making place with a long history.

To the east of the square cafe, a 3-minute walk away, there is a castle-style medieval brewery. Its age is marked on the ancient gate-1416; the mural above the arch is later-1665.

The yard of the brewery is quiet. This is a historic site protected by the government. You can visit it at will. The doors and windows of the old winery. Does the style of the window mean defensive? Hey, will some drinkers attack the winery and grab drinks? The workshop is very large. On the left is the old wine-making device, and on the right is the old wine storage barrel. The distance between the Middle Ages and modern times is actually very close, and the following angle is to look out from the old city gate of the brewery. Let's take a look at Stein's wine shop today. The house is on the first floor of an old mural building near the square. There is also a special wine tasting hall in the wine shop.

Among the mural buildings in the square, another attractive shop is the chocolate shop. This kind of chip chocolate is the favorite of the locals. Slightly sweet, mixed with biscuits and chocolate taste, there is no personal surprise, but my child likes it very much, saying: "Chocolate that can be easily eaten is like a snack." (she is aimed at those old handmade shop classics that must be "tasted quietly and slowly".) from the chocolate below, you can see a little bit of Stein's "tourist city" flavor-this chocolate made in the shape of a Swiss Army knife is undoubtedly sold to tourists.

Second, pay attention to the details at the dinner table

The riverside is an old cream-colored building near the bridgehead. It is a famous restaurant and hotel Rheinfels. It is widely rumored on the Internet that if you eat here, you will meet a big international star if you are not careful. This building is 500 years old. The space in the restaurant is leisurely. This is the cloakroom for the guests. It was summer when the author went, and it was of no use for the time being.

The small hall on the first floor is suitable for couples or two or three friends.

The hall on the second floor is relatively large, which is suitable for family or friends to get together. The Rhine outside the window is refreshing.

But why are there no diners? But it was all here. The Rhine was accompanied by the Rhine on the outdoor seats; the wind from the river was particularly cool on summer evenings. Moreover, it is said on the Internet that this restaurant is often patronized by big stars, but it is not a brag. There is such a handsome uncle sitting at the table next to the author. He looks familiar, but I can't remember his name. When asked about the waiter, he said that the Hollywood star invited by the city government to perform for the town's thousand birthday celebration only knew that he particularly liked the fried river fish in butter, but he also forgot his name.

The handsome uncle ordered fish. The waiter is helping to separate the fish from the thorns. With so little kung fu, candles are still lit under the fish plate to keep warm. It can be seen that the service of this old restaurant is fine.

Rhine fish is the signature of this restaurant. By the way, there are a lot of details at the table about the service of this family. The accompanying friend ordered veal, and the potato rolls on the side plate were so exquisite that when there was only one left, the waiter came over with a large copper pot of potatoes and asked if he wanted to add them. That old bronze basin is said to be a family heirloom that he has used for decades.

What I want is spaghetti. For a simple plate of spaghetti, the restaurant will also serve a lot of food: give the last plate first, with a basin next to it, and light candles to keep warm, in case big food guests need to add it. The veal ordered by friends is also kept in a hot pot and can be added all the time-in case the guests don't have enough to eat? How difficult it is not to be fat when you meet such a shopkeeper.

Finally, let's go back to "the most luxurious coffee shop in Europe". Such pictures are constantly updated, and the magnificent old city is full of endless charm.
