So. I don't know much about the food or prices there, but... I think this our experience is an indication that it's a nice place and NOT just a touristy photo op: we were in Bernkastel-Kues for the big, knockdown dragout Weinfest the first week of September. We were visiting a wintner (a friend of a friend) directly across the alleyway from the Spitzhäschen sitting outside of his little storefront boozing up his excellent wine. My wife needed to use the toilet but our mutual friend didn't have one in the shop so he walked across to the CLOSED Spitzhäschen and asked the proprietor if my wife could use his facilities.
