I’ve been coming to Meds since my university days, so it was nice to return after several years—my first visit since before COVID in 2019. There have been a few changes since then, likely due to rising costs. Previously, you could choose your bread, and tea or coffee was included with the meal, which no longer seems to be the case. That said, the food was still enjoyable. The portion sizes were generous, the pricing was reasonable, and the fresh orange juice was a nice touch. If I had one recommendation, it would be to improve the interior. The place feels a bit tired and could benefit from some investment in decor and overall cleanliness. It’s looking slightly outdated and worn. Still, the nostalgia and quality of the food make it worth revisiting—and I definitely will again.

Äußerst freundlicher Chef, der auch die ein oder andere Änderung für Vegetarier vornimmt. Meine Frau und ich haben Tacos gegessen, sehr lecker. Meine Töchter hatten ein vegetarisches Sandwich (modifiziert, steht so nicht ganz auf der Karte) und eine Interpretation von Penne Arabiata (auch modifiziert, nicht wirklich italienisch, aber trotzdem sehr gut). Das Lokal selbst ist sehr unscheinbar, und wirkt von außen wenig einladend. Nicht täuschen lassen.
