I've found that all the restaurants I've eaten at in Germany, Austria, France, etc. the portions were still huge-and I always thought they wouldn't be since thats the rumor. Its one thing to make smaller portions for yourself at home, but the restaurants are still a bit out of control in my experience. When I was in Germany for a few weeks, I'd eat my lunches at a local meat shop that also served a deli lunch, and the lunch special was big enough for two people! If it weren't for the fact that I walked to & from work every day I think I would've gained 10 lbs.
