7. Restaurant Dalmacija
Reviewed By Son511
Wir waren nach langer Zeit mal wieder mit Freunden im Dalmacija. Das Restaurant ist gemütlich, der Service freundlich. Besonders lecker waren als Vorspeise die überbackenen Champignons mit Krabben und Spinat! Wirklich zu empfehlen, aber auch die Hühnersuppe hat überzeugt! Als Hauptgericht hatten wir zwei Filetsteaks, die top gegart und geschmacklich sehr gut waren! Auch das Schweinefilet Split und der klassische Grillteller waren sehr gut! Zum Abschluss auf jeden Fall noch einen kroatischen Absacker nehmen! Auch lecker! Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist auch stimmig!

Probably one of the biggest pleasant surprises of my trip to Germany was finding this jewel Greek restaurant-Mykonos- in the heart of Recklinghausen! I have been to quite a few Greek rastaurants in the past years, some good and I will review a few more soon, so you can take advantage, but this one was a great surprise. Privately run by a Greek family, the place offers authentic Greek food... I visited it with 2 good German friends and everything they offer was fantastic, just the way it should be... I personally tried their mousaka which was one of the best I have ever tried (almost as good as the one I make, a very high standard to rich!)... my friends tried some lamb chops and lamb steak, absolutely perfectly cooked! Cooking lamb it's a hard thing and most fail, as I guess you know... but these people got it right! The wine was great and original and the menu offer was absolutely impressive by its diversity! The ambiance is super, too, the location is great, the place is very clean and the staff-headed by the owner himself- extremely attentive and caring to the guests. Last but not least was to discover they all spoke Greek, too!!! Besides German and English, of course... What a pleasure it was to be there, too bad I found it on my last day in the city! Definitely a memorable stop for anybody who may be in the area! Euxaristo poli kurie Dimitris!

I travel on business to recklinghausen frequently and I've eaten there twice. Both time the food was very good. On my second visit the restaurant was full and therefore service was slow. Nonetheless I would visit this restaurant again as the menu was appealing and the price were reasonable.

This is a brew pub that makes good beer. There is usually a Helles, a Dunkles and one special on tap. The food is pub food. A pretty good burger, big salads, etc. There are many TV screens which will always have the Dortmund game on if they are playing.

Everyone knows the old cliche about finding a needle in a haystack: about locating a valuable resource in a heap of chaff. That idea applies with joyous vigor to the cleverly named S.Presso, a superb Italian bistro hidden along a twisted route in post-industrial Recklinghausen. To be sure, the venue seems less than promising, with its less-than-optimal view of a 1970s concrete-and-glass shopping bunker across the narrow street. Yet, through force of personality and through clever decorating, the proprietors of S.Presso have created a genuine Italian street-side feel, as if one were dining along a quaint old walkway in the purlieus of Rome. Better still is the cuisine. Inventive and yet solid, traditionally Italian yet also occasionally innovative, the menu at S.Presso, which abounds in both standard dishes and daily specials, presents all the options that a diner at an Italian eatery would expect yet dazzles the imagination with new inventions (for example, the new vegetable, zucchini-based bruschetta). Every dish that we enjoyed during no less than three visits was brilliantly executed, whether the umami-abundant Gorgonzola pasta or the crisply vibrant pizza or the scrumptious appetizers. Service is friendly but pleasantly understated; quiet competence is the watchword. A veritable Cinderella's slipper in amidst the clog-like interior of old Recklinghausen, S.Presso can hold its own against any Italian cafe anywhere in the world. Its food, especially its homemade pasta, is always delicious and is always executed on-point; its atmosphere is friendly, convivial, and uplifting, as if it were irradiated with Italian sunshine.

In Reck to support the local pro basketball team -- CityBasket Recklinghausen. Covered all the restaurants in town -- this one was definitely up there!... (along with the Italian restaurant next door)... Nice dinner after game -- accommodated larger group and stayed open late for us. Great service. Great food. On pricey side for us, but...worth the splurge. I had the duck -- which was fabulous. Chef does nice job of blending flavors and creating interesting/satisfying combinations.We'll be back -- Go Citybasket!

I took my family here for a nice dinner during a recent visit. We went in the middle of the week, early in the evening. The place was pretty empty and didn't fill up for the rest of the evening. We were wondering how loud the it would become if it actually filled up with patrons, because the voices of the few people dining transported easily through the building. The building, as the images indicate, just provides a great atmosphere. It's simply lovely. The staff: there were about 4 or 5 people working in the open kitchen, you're encouraged to sit close to the window to the kitchen so you can watch them prep the food. It's quite an artisanal event, and by and large the kitchen staff know what they're doing, just sadly not when it came to my non-dish. I enjoyed watching them doing their thing. I find open kitchens reassuring of the quality and cleanliness of the product sold.Before I get to my own little disaster, though, let me mention that the waitresses were wonderful, superbly trained and very attentive... until it got just slightly busier, at which point we didn't see much of them. When I say slightly busier, that's what I mean, the place was still about 60% empty. Bit of a concern. The menu is easy as well as complex, you have to order most things separately, unless you go for the tastings menu. Be warned, your bill adds up rather quickly. We didn't find the tastings menu appealing, so we (the three of us) ordered different things. One of us had fish, the other had steak, both mains were superb. Unfortunately, for the restaurant, this review is written by the vegetarian member of our party, and my meal was an unmitigated, expensive disaster. Whatever they had on their menu wasn't available so they came up with a fancy name for what were essentially artichoke hearts and mushrooms. They managed to prep them in such a way that the artichokes were tasteless, and consisted of probably two small artichoke hearts cut in quarters. They combined that with a soup-ladle size serving of mushroom and you had what the kitchen erroneously served as a main course. Truth be told, the main course, not just the artichokes, was tasteless. In the age of salt that's not an easy thing to achieve, but this kitchen managed. Talking about salt, I asked for a side of mashed potato. What I got was a side of salt laced with mashed potato. It became clear to me that in this kitchen nobody actually checks the taste of the meal before they send it out. So, while a significant effort was invested in putting lipstick on this pig, at the end of the day, it was a pig, a tasteless and expensive one at that. My advice to you: If you consider visiting here and you have vegetarians among your party, give it a miss. If you have no vegetarians in your party, go for it. It's expensive for what it is, but the fish, steak and side dishes (well, most of them, just not the one I had, the salt with mashed potato) were well worth the trip out here. The other two members in my party did enjoy their meals and the atmosphere, genuinely. A clear case of Let the Buyer Beware.
