Hi guys!!! I live about 40km's from Im Eimer and have eaten there a lot of times before and absolutely love the Eisbein there. I then went to Germany in February this year with with the idea I am going to top my Eisbein experience in the Eisbein Mother country... But I can tell you I had about 4 different Eisbeins in Berlin self and not even 1 could come close to Im Eimer's Eisbein!! The beer is cheap and Eisbein good (and the best price in SA as well)!!! I believe the rest of the food on the menu will be good aswell, but I have never managed to get to rest of the menu. PS. I don't think I ever will! 😂😂

A group of four "oldies" visited this restaurant on a beautiful Cape Sunday. The beers and wine were cold, our food was good German fare but the wait was very very long. We had pre booked the Shweinerhaxe as requested on the website but it still took two hours before our food arrived. Our waitress was very apologetic and fortunately we had no other plans so we sat back and enjoyed our afternoon
