Read moreWir haben in der Vergangenheit schon zu Geburtstagen und Weihnachten im Kranz zu Abend gegessen. Von daher war Weihnachten eine gute Gelegenheit den neueröffneten Kranz zu besuchen.
Ich habe mir vorher im Internet die Speisekarte angesehen. Neben einem Weihnachtsmenü wurde noch eine Karte mit einer Handvoll Gerichte vorgestellt. Für meinen Geschmack auf alles Fälle etwas zu finden.
Die erste Enttäuschung: Es wurde an dem Abend lediglich das Weihnachtsmenü angeboten.
Dass es für das komplette Restaurant nur eine einzige Weinkarte gab, zu Kenntnis genommen. Auch die Anzahl der Speisekarten war limitiert.
Zum ersten Mal im Kranz saß ich nicht im Gastraum sondern im angebauten Saal. Dieser hat zwar ein stimmiges Farbkonzept, ansonsten versprüht er die Gemütlichkeit einer Bahnhofshalle.
Ich bestellte das fünf Gänge Menü für 89 EUR.
Der Feldsalat war schmackhaft.
Die Rinder Consomme war leider geschmacksneutral. Sehr schade, da das darin enthaltene Gemüse sehr gut und bissfest war.
Das Lachsgericht war sehr gut. In meinen Augen die Überraschung des Abends.
Die Hauptspeise, das Rinderfilet, war leider kalt. Die dazu bestellten Pommes hingegen frisch, heiß und knusprig.
Das Desser war gut.
In den vorherigen Rezensionen wurde das Thema Portionsgröße bereits mehrfach erwähnt. Auch ich muss sagen: definitiv könnten die Portionen größer sein. Auch für ein fünf Gänge Menü. Insbesondere das sehr kleine Stück Rinderfilet, welches gerade einmal zwei bissen war, war sehr enttäuschend.
Der Service hinterließ ein uneinheitliches Bild. Mal wurde erklärt was auf dem Teller ist, mal nicht. Ob das Essen schmeckte, wurde, auch das nicht einheitlich, erst beim abräumen der Teller gefragt. Das Dessert wurde vor der Hauptspeise serviert, versehentlich, falscher Tisch.
Dass am Ende die Technik streikte und das bezahlen mit Karte nochmals erheblich Zeit in Anspruch nahm, rundete das Bild eher zum negativen ab.
Meine persönliche Meinung: Wer auf diesem Niveau Gastfreundschaft anbieten möchte muss mehr abliefern. Dafür gibt es in Lörrach und Umgebung eine Vielzahl von Alternativen.
Wir waren von dem Abend insgesamt enttäuscht.
Vielleicht gibt es in Zukunft eine zweite Chance und ich kann diese Rezension...
