When you go for a "Brauhaus", you expect fresh beer. It was not. And the food gave the same impression. Just a opened pack or same prepared piece boiled in oil. Place is huge - but only a few people. No atmosphere.

Hier sind es besonders die Lage ( der Biergarten ist echt romantisch) und die Freundlichkeit des Personals, das ch hervorheben möchte. Auch Essen und Trinken sind zwar nicht auÃergewöhnlich, aber gut und sättigend.Es geht hier gemütlich familiär zu, aber es bleibt das Niveau erhalten.
7. Bullerkotte

Despite the mania for inventiveness that overtaxes our era, a place remains for a restaurant that can deliver competently conservative high cuisine. That conservative taste seems to be the focus of Bullerkotte, which draws together many of the characteristics of the current farm-to-table movement without explicitly identifying or boasting about them. Bullerkotte might be described as a dignified monument to the first wave of German cuisine: to the earliest attempts to create a "fine" cuisine based on German products and traditions. On one hand, the menu and the venue have aspirations. Written in a curious idiom in which German and French cooking idioms merge and intertwine, the menu celebrates favorite German proteins such as duck, ox, chicken, and, of course, sausage, including blood sausage. Overall, the dishes could be described as somewhat "meaty." An oxen filet, for example, arrived somewhat mysteriously topped by a whole, in-the-shell prawn, as if a freak tidal wave had unexpectedly swept seafood into the butcher's shop. This kind of multi-story layering of diverse meats reached its acme in the 1990s--and it still produces the same unfortunate result, to wit, an initial sense of amazement followed by a feeling that a dish is somewhat overloaded. Many of the chef's inventions evidence a high level of creativity. For example, dinner opens with a marvelously memorable cucumber spread that, in lieu of butter, imparts a laudable vegetable as well as herbal taste to perfectly rendered baguette slices. The blood sausage appetizer features a stuffing of the aforementioned protein pudding artfully rolled in puff pastry and accompanied by a micro-greens salad, all to uplifting effect. Equally creative albeit somewhat less successful is the duck breast and spaghettini combination, in which three perfectly rendered and exquisitely seasoned duck slices avalanche their way down a vortex of pasta, all alongside a tangy cheese tuile. Probably it would have been more effective to integrate the duck and the pasta more effectively--perhaps by creating a duck-stuffed ravioli--but the merit of the taste could not be disputed. As previously mentioned, main courses at Bullerkotte seem, to modern tastes, somewhat out-of-balance, with great weight given to the protein and somewhat perfunctory attention going to the accompaniments. Both the oxen steak and the local chicken appeared atop an eddy of mixed vegetables in a dark brown sauce that savored a little too much of soy sauce or similar seasoning. Although the vegetables themselves were spot-on and perfectly poached, they added nothing memorable to the overall composition. The chicken main course had been identified as a "tandoori" recipe, but its mildness and wholeheartedly European flavor profile conjured no thought of India while the aforementioned soy-flavored sauce led diners to wonder whether south and north Asia had been confused. Bullerkotte offers a lovely setting in the farmlands outside of the industrial Ruhr Valley. The restaurant occupies what appears to be a former farmhouse. Interior decor is, again, straight out of the elegant 1990s. All is tasteful, all is deluxe--but also all is beige. A full house creates a cheerful ambience, although the clientele might be characterized as rugged rural gentry rather than as city slickers. Bullerkotte makes for a pleasant country evening. It would be wonderful to see the chef turn some of his admirable talents to a bit of updating of both menu and envrionment, but, in general, the Bullerkotte experience is a pleasant one.

This is a nicely situated restaurant in the middle of the country side. The service is good, people very welcoming. Also the food is of good quality, with some traditional German cuisine on the menu. The only minus is that it is rather expensive. We payed 65 EUR for 2 main dishes and beers.

Auch ein erneuter Abend bei Henschel hat den letzten Eindruck unterstrichen. Die Küchenleistung ist hervorragend - das Gleiche gilt für die Weine und den netten, kompetenten Service. Wir werden dieses Restaurant gerne wieder besuchen.

My husband and I tried this place on a Saturday night. The decor is very nice, and the place has a great atmosphere. We started with an appetizer of mushrooms baked in beer dough. It was good and piping hot. For mains we both had Zuricher Schnitzel, which was topped with cooked tomatoes and onions and covered with baked mozzarella and sauces. The schnitzel itself wasn't very tender, but the flavor was very nice. Our meal also came with fries, salad, and homemade bread. The portions were huge.This restaurant seemed very popular with the +50 crowd, and would be a great place for a birthday or family dinner. It has a separate room for big groups, which was in use the night we went. Perhaps that's why our service was slow. It was noticeably slow, although our waiter was still pleasant and we didn't really mind. The bill was only â¬42, including mains, beers, and the appetizer, which we thought was a nice value.It would be great to go during the summer before sundown, to have a view of the lake.

The always proper and self renewing cousine of Frank Rosin is never boring, always exiting and full of very creative, but never too modernistic ideas. The wine list is accordingly, and the sommeliere gives great recommendations. When you are lucky, the Chef takes some time to sit at your table and discuss with you. Looking forward to go again ...
