The buffet on the top floor of this huge department store is a sight to see. You won't go hungry here, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Don't miss it! After you eat, go down one level and stroll the food halls that sell just about any kind of food you can imagine.

At the top floor of this department store (supposedly the largest of it's kind in continental Europe) lies the food lover's heaven. Counters and counters of food, cheeses, sausages, pastas, antipasta, desserts, chocolates, you name it, they have it. There is also a supermarket, as well as bars where you can sit and eat.
We went to Feinshcmecker-Etage Grill & Pfanne, one such place. We each had a kind of veal cutlet (Paprikaschnitzel and Jagerschnitzel, the latter is veal with a mushroom sauce, delicious! so tender!). Also ordered a Salat der Saison, a huge salad with the kind of tangy, sweet mustardy dressing that I love in Germany. With a drink each, the bill was 46 marks, around $22. What a deal, for excellent food and service. Many locals go there for dinner or shopping before they head home. Closes at 8pm. One more tip: when you are ready to pay, the waitress or chef will tally up your bill and actually come over to tell you what the total is. If you choose to tip, give them the amount extra you would like to give and pay. You will then be given your change and the receipt. I didn't know about this until I left-how embarrassing. So hopefully, you won't be lost when it's your turn.
