Everything was perfect. Incredibly friendly service, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The food is truly delicious. Everything is freshly prepared. Plenty of good, cold drinks are available. Tips are given, and the location is fantastic. In short, definitely come here hungry!
I ordered the Tartufata to go. Taste-wise, it was average, but the crust was very thin and crispy – almost perfect. However, the price of almost €20 for a delivery pizza with such sparse toppings isn't justified. The pizza itself tasted good nonetheless.
Fantastischer Aufenthalt in einem wunderschön restaurierten Hotel, das mit einem Architekturpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. Hervorragendes thailändisches Restaurant mit charmanten Besitzern.
Ein sehr freundlicher Empfang. Wir waren etwas zu früh, konnten trotzdem etwas essen. Es gab eine kurze info: den shop, den Spabereich, und alles was wichtig ist.
Die Zimmer sind Top ausgestattet mit Blick auf die Berge. Auch im Restaurant war alles bestens. sehr nettes Personal kümmert sich um die Wünsche der Gäste. Auch das Essen ist super.
Wir haben vor unser Reise nach Frankfurt einige Tips zu Frau Schreibers legendären Frankfurter Wurstimbiss erhalten. Ein Traditionsimbiss, den es schon 60 Jahre gibt. Wir waren begeistert. Ein uriger kleiner Laden wie aus guten alten Zeiten, mit einer sehr sehr freundlichen Frau Schreiber. Wir mussten 2x hin, um auch alles zu probieren. Einfach ein Geheimtip in der Kleinmarkthalle in Frankfurt und unbedingt zu empfehlen.
The restaurant has four tables for a maximum of 12 people, but tonight two tables are occupied. I would have preferred just one, as the four people sitting next to me were talking loudly enough for four tables, and quite a lot of nonsense at that. It was quite disruptive at times, but the restaurant can't be held responsible for that.
Even before the meal, a folder containing a menu for each course is presented—a lovely idea, professionally executed, and definitely a memorable experience. Cedric Schwitzer personally presents each course this evening. The French influence is evident throughout the entire menu; many years spent at Barreis (Baiersbronn) have clearly shaped the cuisine, and the presentation of the dishes is first-class all evening.
Regarding the food: (This is my subjective opinion. The rating reflects my expectations for a restaurant of this category and price range. The +/- should be self-explanatory.)
The appetizers arrive at the table all at once in a large, round, multi-tiered container, but (surprise!) are revealed one after the other – a clever idea, I like that. Beetroot with a crunchy texture and pleasant acidity; my highlight was a small onion tart with horseradish. First, the sharpness of the horseradish hits you, then your palate is met with a delicate onion flavor. The wild hare and the potato blinis are a bit of a letdown; they are somewhat one-dimensional in flavor (overall 0).
The first course is a knockout and will remain my favorite throughout the entire meal. The foie gras is superbly presented and tastes just as good; the contrast with the very tart rose apple works perfectly (+). Next comes a lobster with gooseberry in a vanilla broth, very tasty, although the lobster could have benefited from a slightly shorter cooking time. (0)
"Now he's got me," I think to myself as the black cod arrives. Few chefs (in my opinion) manage to highlight the delicate flavor of the fish so well without serving an overall bland dish. The combination with the calf's head is a cool idea. (0+) The vegetarian course, sweet rolls with Brussels sprouts and truffle, is not for me at all. The flavor is very intense, and it feels out of place, especially in the menu structure after the white fish. (-)
I only have one glass of wine that evening, but the French Syrah is fantastic and pairs wonderfully with the venison. And the venison makes you forget the sweet rolls. To nitpick would mean wishing the venison had a bit more of a red color and the dish a touch more of that cherry note—but as I said, that would be nitpicking. Despite being "not quite medium-rare," the meat was incredibly tender and had a wonderful texture. (0+)
We moved directly to dessert, which, according to the menu, contained chocolate and cardamom. I couldn't taste the cardamom at all, and the chocolate was almost completely lost in the dominant sweetness of the orange. I found the dessert somewhat ordinary and boring; it was the only course that didn't quite live up to its star rating (-). The petit fours (I think I got a portion meant for two :)) were a nice finishing touch.
The service was friendly and relaxed, the price-performance ratio was still good, and I would definitely come back again if I had the chance. Recommended.
Hello everyone,
At the beginning of September, it was time again to head towards Bella Italia. However, on our journey from northern Germany to the Adriatic, shortly before our first stopover, we received a message from the engine compartment that we couldn't continue our journey in the French car that had carried us for the first 600 kilometers. So, we made a more than involuntary stop in Ingolstadt. Starving from the day's exertions and facing an uncertain future, a glimmer of hope, red as tomato sauce, would soon appear on the horizon. Mario welcomed us with open arms and, within minutes, conjured up the finest pizza and burgers. I, for my part, opted for a solid pizza. The Coke from the traditional aluminum can was also impressive. Even though Mario hadn't promised us anything beforehand, he exceeded every expectation with his craftsmanship and, at least culinary-wise, saved the day. Thank you Mario, thank you Ingolstadt, thank you Citroen.
see you at the next breakdown
