STB Clubhaus in Solingen

The food is very good and the atmosphere is very good. You immediately feel in good hands. I've already spent some fun evenings there with friends.

It's really worth a visit to the old Wald train station 👍🤗

In spring/early summer 2023, I hadn't even noticed that Merih Demir was no longer cooking at Landhaus Sonneneck. Only the noticeably declining kitchen performance at the time made me a little suspicious. Since then, we've had the pleasure of enjoying Merih's excellent cuisine several times in his new digs. If you don't know... Merih's brother Murat is the tenant and is also primarily responsible for the service of the numerous satisfied guests. Special requests are no problem. Whatever is feasible is easily accommodated. A decent selection of wines by the glass. Anyone who wants to can sample them in advance. The interior design is rather functional, as is still often the case in so many club restaurants; in summer temperatures, a shady spot on the spacious raised terrace with a view over the well-maintained tennis courts is a natural choice. The menu is deliberately kept small, with a few daily specials expanding the offerings. I always really enjoy the well-known vitello tonnato and the carpaccio with delicately spiced Cipriani sauce, as well as the well-made pasta dishes. The house always serves fresh white bread with homemade aioli beforehand. Last year's goose leg was less impressive. Of course, at a reasonable price of €27.90 – they admit that the product was bought "somewhere" abroad – I shouldn't have too high expectations, and it's certainly always a matter of appreciation whether you want to spend a few euros more. But the side dishes, especially the thin and rather unremarkable sauce, weren't really my cup of tea either. The consistency of a good goose jus should be such that it can be easily absorbed by the dumplings. The venison ragù in a beautifully spicy, slightly creamy jus, on the other hand, was much better. I'll stick with the Italian classics, which always impress with good, honest culinary craftsmanship. I still consider the prices for food and drinks to be entirely reasonable, especially considering that more and more restaurants seem to be riding the wave of inflation. Overall, 4.5 stars, rounded to 5! Highly recommended!

We were invited to a celebration there. The atmosphere was very nice, both inside and out. There was plenty of parking. The appetizer was excellent, and the meat and fish were very good. The side dishes, sauces, and dessert were all good. Very good wine, good service. We felt very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Small and well-stocked menu. Everything tastes delicious.
