Karawane
Adrianstraße 104, Bonn Oberkassel

15,60 €
18-23
Straßenbahn 66 to Königswinter/Bad Honnef, get out at Oberkassel Nord, when getting out of the station turn two times to the left and follow the road.

Oberkassel is a bit outside of the city centre, but Karawane is worth the effort. It is basically an "All you can eat" but not a buffet consisting of 10 dishes from the Mediterranian and Middle East region. The dishes change every week see their website, you can order a vegetarian selection without surcharge or additional dishes like lamb. Absolutely delicious, but you might fall into a food coma. The atmosphere is nice and the service friendly. It is often crowded, so better call for a reservation.
