🇩🇪 Extrablatt Dortmund 🍽️🌊

Nestled along the scenic Ruhr River, Extrablatt has become my go-to spot for reliable German fare with a view. While this chain exists across Germany, the Ruhr Valley locations (particularly Dortmund-South and Essen-South) offer something special – let me break down why they're worth visiting: 🍄 My Usual Order: Champignon-Schnitzel (€16.90)💙 Crispy perfection: Golden breaded veal cutlet (can sub chicken) Creamy mushroom sauce: Earthy champignons in brandy cream reduction💙💙 Traditional sides: Buttery spätzle + tangy red cabbage Pro Tip: Ask for sauce on the side to maintain crunch!💙💙 🌱 The Vegan Surprise: Orient Bowl (€14.50) My German friend swears by this: Base: Nutty bulgur rice & mixed greens💙💙 Stars: Roasted eggplant, hummus, pomegranate seeds Dressing: Tahini-lemon drizzle💙💙💙 Unexpected win: The crispy falafel bites (hidden underneath!) ☕ Sweet Finale: Eisschokolade (€5.90) Not your average iced chocolate! Layers: Vanilla ice cream ➝ whipped cream ➝ chocolate shavings Secret: They use Belgian dark cocoa powder💙💙 Instagram Alert: Comes with a mini chocolate bar garnish!💙 🌅 Why These Locations Shine ✔ Waterfront terraces with sunset views (Dortmund branch has swan visitors!) 🦢 ✔ Interior Design: Industrial-chic with bookshelf walls and retro lamps ✔ Golden Hour Magic: 6-8pm when the river turns glassy 🥞 Upcoming Mission: Breakfast Buffet (€12.90) The menu promises: Live omelet station with local mushrooms💙 House-baked pretzels still warm from the oven💙💙 NRW honey from rooftop beehives Question for followers: Worth waking up early on weekends?💙💙 #RuhrValleyEats #GermanComfortFood #SchnitzelLove #VeganInGermany #DateNightSpots 📍📍💙
