We sat down for a nice meal and a beer after work on our business trip. The reviews were quite high, but it turned out to be the opposite of what we expected. The person taking the order outside was incredibly rude. He said no to all question like ; can we cook the meat longer, is there a chance to remove some things from the food, without even looking at us directly..

We showed proof of vaccination with passports (which was accepted everywhere else) he grabbed my vaccination card, shook his head with a grin, and threw it at back at me without saying anything. I asked what was wrong when he proceeded to say “I don’t know what this is, where’s your QR code”. We didn’t know we needed one, since we’re visiting and was never told to get one. So we left and went...
