We had the priviledge to live in a perfectly quaint little village called Dudledorf, Germany for about 2 years. The main street was as quintessential an old village as you can find. On the main street (cobblestone, of course) there was a restaurant called Torschänke that was like none other. The menu changed with the season, the chef/owner was a master but it was small enough that he would visit you at your table often and he knew his customers well.
