I traveled in Germany and Austria back in the mid 80s and it seems as though not much has changed as far as German restaurants.

I did remember breakfast bars were popular .... most serving yogurt, hard rolls, and many even offered liverwurst on Melba toast or rye crackers.

Did the wait staff bring you a glass of water without your asking like they do in American restaurants? I noticed in Germany and Austria they do not, although they are happy to bring you some water if you ask for it. Also in small cafes while walking around the cities, they do not inundate your cold drink with a ton of ice like they do in this country.
