Restaurant Topspin in Solingen

In the spring/early summer of 2023, I didn't even notice that Merih Demir was no longer cooking at Landhaus Sonneneck; it was just the noticeable decline in kitchen performance at the time that made me a little suspicious. In the meantime we have been able to enjoy Merih's good cuisine several times in his new place of work. If you don't know yet...Merih's brother Murat acts as the tenant and is also primarily responsible for the well-being of the numerous satisfied guests. Special requests are no problem. What can be done is done very simply. Decent selection of open wines. If you want, you can try it in advance. The furnishing style is rather functional, as is often still the case in so many club restaurants. In summer temperatures, there is of course a shady spot on the spacious high terrace with a view over the well-kept tennis facility. The menu is deliberately kept small, with a few daily recommendations expanding the offering. The well-known Vitello Tonnato and the Carpaccio with delicately spicy Cipriani sauce as well as the well-made pasta dishes are always very popular. The house always serves fresh white bread with a homemade aioli beforehand. Last year's goose leg was less exciting. Of course, at a reasonable price of €27.90 - it's open to the fact that the goods are bought "somewhere" abroad - I shouldn't have too high expectations and it's certainly always a question of appreciation whether you don't want one or two euros more want to spend. But the side dishes weren't really my cup of tea either, especially the thin sauce that tasted pretty unremarkable. The consistency of a good goose jus should be such that it can be easily absorbed into the dumplings. I liked the venison ragout in a beautifully spicy, slightly creamy jus much better. I stick with the Italian classics, which always impress with good, honest kitchen craftsmanship. I think the prices for food and drink are still completely reasonable, especially considering that more and more restaurants seem to be increasingly sailing in the slipstream of “inflation”. Overall 4.5 stars, rounded to 5! Recommendation!

There were 4 of us and we were ignored. The waitress didn't think it was necessary to do anything in general. Banana wheat was a foreign concept - the main thing was to ask stupidly several times what I would order and get the boss to do it. You had to place your order yourself at the counter, but at least it was brought out - without asking afterwards whether you wanted the card. We “actually” wanted to spend a nice evening there and try out the menu. After all, we live right in the neighborhood (3 minutes walk). Luckily, thanks to the high motivation of the employees, we left quickly. Especially since we were treated like low earners... I'm terribly sorry that I only arrived with my Karl Lagerfeld clutch and left my Land Rover in front of my door and didn't carry my friend who walks with a cane... Especially since a banana wheat in this kind of " “Gastronomy” shouldn’t be a foreign word – it’s simply embarrassing. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a mix of a school canteen and a betting shop and then they also act as if they were flying in the golden steak from Dubai. I prefer the evenings at the Pink Pepper, where you can relax and listen to the traffic and watch the romance of the traffic lights changing from a distance. In every other restaurant in Solingen you can get a banana wheat and something decent - for more money. Cheers and never ever again! It's too bad that you can only look in front of people's heads. I would have liked to share several impressions, but unfortunately it's not possible to check them on Google because it didn't happen. I can only warmly advise against a visit.

We were there with 7 people, everyone was very satisfied. Absolutely recommend this restaurant. Very nice service, delicious food even if the menu is clear. But in this case, less is more.

Great food and very nice service!

When we asked for a stroppy “what do you want?” When we told them we had made a reservation, they said “there is no reservation in our name”. When I assured us that we had made a reservation by phone, they said "I have no idea where you made the reservation, not here". I showed my call list on my cell phone with our almost 2 minute phone call in the hope of clearing up the error. We were then offered a cat table, half in the entrance, with a whisper. After so much "politeness" and "efforts" to make the guest happy, we reluctantly declined the emergency place offered and went to a restaurant that cares about its guests. On that note, flopspin no thanks

This was our second time there and we weren't disappointed ❤️! A "simple" atmosphere, with a great view over the tennis courts and the sun. Topped off with a really delicious meal that my husband is still raving about at home. My sea bream was absolutely delicious and natural in taste, the spices were very well balanced. Even though we usually enjoy sitting on the Wupper, we are happy about a great, nearby enrichment in Widdert 🤩. This way we don’t have to go back up the mountain 😉. The price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable, given the freshness and quality of the food 👌.

Excellent food at fair prices. Nice service, great cook! Absolutely recommended!

My wife's favorite restaurant. Delicious, delicious, delicious.

Fresh, very tasty cuisine, I found the prices surprisingly moderate for the top quality. Very friendly service. 100% recommendation from me, we will definitely come back.
