GAMS 1648 - Vinothek, Pizza, Cafe & Blumen — Restaurant in Marktgemeinde Bezau

Amazing ambiance, delicious food, and friendly hostesses.

I am not a native German speaker (nor proficient with the Vorarlberg dialect), but the ordering process was easy enough. We chose our own table and filled out a sheet with the pizzas that we wanted and gave it to the hostess.

Why are salads served for in-house guests in takeaway containers ( the salad was good) Strange that no baby chairs were available or could be found for us in the hotel. Management should rethink the service concept. We’ve been a few times and will probably return, but the experience could be so...

Interesting concept that requires a bit of refinement, in my opinion. The pizzas are yummy and there’s lots of wine to choose from. The self-service bits are a bit odd as one basically has to prep one’s table alone, grab our own drinks, and the one salad comes in a takeaway box, which is a shame because the salad is actually tasty, so why downgrade it to a box when eating at the restaurant? Also… they had 0 baby chairs and said the hotel didn’t have them either. Very hard to believe. Other than that the place has a nice...
