Old Europe

My husband and I discovered this gem two years ago in December. He was looking for his new Christmas tradition: mulled wine. We came in to a bustling restaurant that didn’t look like much from the outside. Once inside it was warm, cozy, and inviting; so different than the feel of the street in which it is located. There was a pianist playing holiday tunes and it felt like we had just walked into a festive European scene. I’m not a huge fan of German food (because I’m never sure what I’m asking for) but the food here was tasty. We had a lovely meal complete with mulled wine and swore to come back next year.

Covid hit and Old Europe, like many other establishments was definitely affected. We made it back to Old Europe unsure of what we would find since Covid. Instead of the bustling scene we experienced the year prior, we had our wonderfully tasty meal complete with my new favorite holiday drink (hot glug cider) in a mostly empty restaurant. We did however luck out with the piano player 🙂 and hoped this place would still be in business the next year.

The reason I’m writing this review now is because It’s time for our visit to Old Europe and I’m happy to see online that it’s still in business. There isn’t a special drink menu listed on their website but I’m hoping that I can rustle up some hot glug cider this time around. I’m happy to support this local business and I’m hoping to see it get back to its former self in the coming years.
