Great Locals' Hangout - Wonderful Food & Service - Reservations strongly advised
We took a tram to get to this restaurant. It is conveniently located 1 minute walk from the Hürth Fischenich tram station. The restaurant opens at 5 pm, and when we arrived half an hour early, we were asked to wait. We took a walk around the block and spent some time at the Rosellenplatz, a lovely little park about 3 minutes’ walk away. We came back exactly at 5 and were seated, though, did not have a reservation. You must know that by 6 pm the place was completely packed. There were no free tables on the terrace, and it was a Tuesday. Locals with their friends and families really favor this place.
We started with a chanterelle soup and a carpaccio de manzo. The soup was thick with mushroomsand very tasty; generous portions in a large bowl. The carpaccio was pretty standard, a bit overchilled, which made its texture a little watery.
For the main course we ordered three chanterelle dishes. The chef used exactly the same sauce with mushrooms for each dish, so the chanterelles were prepared exactly the same. The sauce was very good, creamy and light, the mushroom portions and sizes generous. It was no problem that it was exactly the same, the taste was what mattered.
The Summer Plate had chicken breast covered with the mushroom sauce, accompanied by fried potatoes and zucchini and a small salad. Chicken was nicely cooked, tender and juicy. The potatoes tasted exactly like home made and the salad was very fresh with light dressing. Two other main courses were the Veal and the Rump Steak. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare, it was perfectly prepared. The veal was good too, but the rump steak had more flavor. The potato croquettes that accompanied both meats were delicious, not at all oily.
Service was wonderful, once we were seated the food was brought in promptly. Our waiter was very courteous and professional. A definite must visit. Would love to...
