Hotel Restaurant Borchard — Restaurant in Lübbecke

This is not a tourist destination. The Hotel Borchard is in the middle of a large and modern industrial complex at Lübbecke, in North Rhein Wesphalia, so it is for those whose business takes them into that specific business area and who need overnight accommodation.||The hotel has 26 bedrooms and is probably more a 'restaurant with rooms', for the bar and restaurant are huge and tend to be always busy with locals. It even has five lanes of tenpin bowling adjacent to the bar, which attract plenty of local youngsters and families.||The rooms are compact, but scrupulously clean and very functional, with everything you will need (except a kettle to make your own tea/coffee) and free wi-fi.....big hotel groups, notably the IHG Group, please take note: smaller hotels offer free wi-fi, so should you.||The restaurant is excellent which is probably why it is busy most nights. The food is plain, German and comes in gargantuan portions. The Bauernpfanne or 'Farmer's Pan', offers substantial cuts of beef, pork and smoked pork accompanied by lashings of Bearnaise sauce, lots of vegetables, potatoes, mushrooms and a fried egg on top. Seriously, it would be plenty for two people and comes for 14 euros! Even the most expensive dish on the menu, the Rinderfilet Special, a thick steak with baked potato, mushrooms and vegetables is huge and is still only 22 euros. ||The Borchard is therefore a place to stop over if you are on business and...

Pro:

-Bedienung war zwar sehr stumpf aber dennoch freundlich und humorvoll.

-Die Wartezeit für Getränke und Speisen war völlig in Ordnung. Kam alles relativ schnell

-Die Speisen haben wirklich gut geschmeckt. Frisch zubereitet. Fleisch zart, Sauce super.

Kontra:

-Die Preise waren völlig unangebracht. 5,40€ für ein Salatbuffet zu bezahlen, bei dem man sich ohnehin maximal einen Teller holt, ist wirklich zu viel. Vorallem im Verhältnis zu den angebotenen Salaten.

14,90€ für ein Schnitzel auf Toast mit Sauce Hollandaise und ein paar Champignons ist viel zu viel.

-Das Ambiente war typisch für relativ klassische Restaurants. War zwar kein Kantinenfeeling, aber dennoch eher trist und langweilig. Paar Plastikblumen auf dem Tisch und gut ist.

-Die Zubereitung eines klassischen Bruschettas beinhaltet ein mit Knoblauch eingeriebenes Ciabatta, was mit einer Tomaten-Zwiebel Zubereitung belegt wird. Hier wurden geviertelte Cherry-Tomaten auf eine geölte Scheibe Ciabatta gelegt. Wundert aber niemanden, wenn die Serviekraft den Namen des Gerichts nichtmal korrekt aussprechen kann [Brusketta].

Alles in Allem besteht hier definitiv kein Wiederholungsbedarf. Von einem klassisch "deutschen" Restaurant erwartet man definitiv...
