Up For Something New?
Okay folks, I have another unique restaurant for you to check out. Located in historic downtown New Carlisle is a little restaurant called Mosers Michigan Street Café.
This is no ordinary café; this is a café that serves Austrian food! Wow, was I impressed! Upon arrival you are greeted by smiling lederhosen-clad men and women dressed in dirndls. The owner, Werner Moser, makes sure he greets every customer personally. Although small in size, the café is very big on friendly atmosphere and excellent home cooked Austrian food.
Friday night is all you can eat fish, which I highly recommend. Some of the traditional Austrian dishes include bratwurst, sauerkraut and Wiener schnitzel. If you’re in the mood for something hot to warm your bones, try the goulash, it is awesome! If you have never had Austrian beer, ask for a sample, Werner will be happy to oblige. Save room for dessert, or take it home, but whatever you do don’t leave without one or maybe two! The desserts change daily, I have delighted in the pecan pie and pumpkin rolls, which were simply the best!
Now if all this good food and friendly atmosphere is not enough, Friday nights they also have a two man acoustic band for your listening pleasure. They leave a song list at each table and you can holler out your requests.
The café is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. The address is 127 Michigan Street, New Carlisle, Indiana.
So if you’re in the mood for a different atmosphere as well as a unique menu, give Mosers Michigan Street Café a try and then add a comment to this article, I would love to hear what you think.

Diane,
I have gone to Mosers for years, especially
on Friday nights. Werner also has an
October fest each year at his farm in New
Carlisle. His friends from Austria come to
spend the week and play music. It is a wonderful
experience as well. The food is great too!
BTW, Beamer is one of the men playing and singing
on Friday nights. Don't forget to tip them.

Excellent, I heard about the October Fest, however, I have not attended. I hope to this year. If you can share the location and date that would be wonderful!
Thanks Pam.
