Bruno's European Restaurant

Lakewood, Tacoma · German · $$

Central European kitchens all keep a soup for the morning after, tripe or sour rye or a peppery broth depending on the country, and Bruno's puts its version on the menu under exactly that name. Krystyna and Bruno run the Bridgeport Way room as a German and Polish kitchen with the motto painted up front, love goes through the stomach, and they cook like they mean it. Arrive hungry and leave room for dessert.
