Gaststätte Borgerding in Lohne (Oldenburg)

Amazing experience, the food and service was great. The garlic bread with taziki was my favorite. The pancake desert was delicious! 10/10

My wife and I happened to stop at this restaurant for lunch today and were extremely pleasantly surprised. The appetizers and main courses were all delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff was very attentive and the prices were reasonable. We're sure we'll be back!

Please note that the prices online and in-store are no longer current. They're about €1-€2 more expensive. I would have ordered a bacon cheeseburger for €12.75 in-store, but it would have been €13.75 without the pickle, but braised with onions. I ended up getting €15.75 with the pickle and onion. The taste was disappointing: no pepper, no salt, just a sauce that tasted like liquid sugar, and the buns were sweet... simply inadequate. This will be my last visit.

We made a reservation for Christmas Day with our extended family, partly because there was a vegan option (vegan steak with potatoes). This option was no longer on the menu that day, but it was still available upon request. The rest of the non-vegan menu was omitted for the vegans. So we ended up with pumpkin soup without cream and GreenForce bifteki (€3.50 in the supermarket) with vegetables (in my opinion, you can recognize good chefs by their ability to cook vegan dishes, and the celery was unfortunately undercooked). At the end, the price of the four-course menu was presented (we negotiated it down by €10 to €40). There were three other families of roughly the same size there at the same time, and we sat there for a total of two and a half hours (from 12:30 am to 3:00 pm). It took a really long time for our order to be taken, and the explanation that a course could be omitted was very misleading (in the end, it wasn't just any course that could be omitted, but only the first one). It was extremely drafty, and we were sitting there in winter jackets with scarves around our legs. The two stars are because the staff was very friendly when they were there, the owner came by to ask how we were doing and promised more vegan options, and the people who ate everything enjoyed it. It's also perfectly fine if you're just a few people ordering from the regular menu.
