Jamek

The restaurant has a ravishing stone terrace where you dine amid old-fashioned roses, mixed borders, wisteria vines, and an emerald lawn with a velour pile. The waitresses wear checked dirndls, buttoned bodices, and smocked aprons and don't even look ridiculous. Try the knödel made with Topfen, similar to pot cheese, rolled in bread crumbs and spooned with melted butter; the apricot hidden inside is so ripe and has so little fiber, poaching turns it into delicious liquid.
