I was surprised to discover that one of our favorite restaurants, the Gasthaus zum Bruddler, hasn't been reviewed here yet. I'll do that as soon as possible.
We moved from the Rhine-Main area to Steinheim an der Murr in November 2012 for professional reasons. As a self-employed person, you're constantly on the go, sometimes working 17 to 18 hours a day. Of course, you don't feel like cooking at 10:30 p.m. anymore. So, we went out to...

Here we have a solid Swabian inn with typical Swabian specialties. It starts with Flädlesuppe (pancake soup) and continues with Wurstsalat (sausage salad) with Schwarzwurst (black pudding) and culminates in Swabian Zwiebelrostbraten (onion roast beef). This is flattened like a schnitzel and cooked medium upon request. The sauce consists of braised onions in a homemade gravy. And believe me, I've always been able to taste when...

My sweetheart was longing for her home in the Ruhr region again. She's actually from Oberhausen, but her sister lives in Essen, which is right next door. On top of that, it was my sister-in-law's birthday, and we had the opportunity to see many of our (in-laws) relatives again.
On Monday, after countless construction sites, slow-moving traffic, traffic jams, and a complete closure of the A3, we finally arrived after more than six...

The Vaba restaurant in Murr an der Murr is apparently run by Albanians from Kosovo. The menu, unsurprisingly given its geographical location, resembles a former Yugoslavian menu.
We both had Qebapa, a Croatian/Serbian cevapcici with steak fries, salad, kajmak, and ajvar.
The service was very friendly and we got pizza bread with a spicy paprika cream.
The young man said, "See you next time," and that will definitely be the case.

Sorry, only in German. Am Geburtstag von meinem Schatz haben wir uns einen ausgiebigen Brunch mit allerlei Leckereien vom Fisch gegönnt. Abends gings dann ins Hot Stone Steakhouse Beilstein. Ich war vor etwa 40 Jahren zum letzten Mal in einem traditionellen Steakhouse in Frankfurt/Main. Da gings noch recht traditionell zu mit Hüftsteak, Rumpsteak, Filet. Entrecôte war damals noch exotisch, wurde aber auch angeboten. Dazu eine Ofenkartoffel...
E: These days there was a report on TV about a young lady from Georgia who had opened a restaurant in Düsseldorf serving her local dishes. That naturally caught my attention - what is Georgian food? I had heard the name before in a crime TV series: khinkali, dumplings filled with meat. Coming from a prosecutor, it didn't sound very interesting. The report became more interesting when it described exactly what khinkali are made of and how they...

On the occasion of my birthday we went to the Hotel + Restaurant Alte Schmiede in Großbottwar. The furnishings were a well-done mix of old and new. Originally it was probably a half-timbered house, the front of which was apparently completely rotten. So they built a wall made of bricks and installed a lot of glass in it. The half-timbering inside was protected from the weather and was wonderfully integrated into the interior design....

There are a total of three important high cuisines in the world. This is first the French, then the Chinese and finally the Turkish. And we went to a Turkish restaurant for my wife's birthday.
First of all, the quality of the food was excellent. We would eat there again at any time.
My darling had Mantar Dolma, mushrooms stuffed with soft cheese in a tomato cream sauce, thickly baked with Peynir, the Turkish cheese, similar to young...

This was our third visit on Saturday 23rd April 2022. The ambience is very functional and sober, but you still feel comfortable. If, yes, if the volume wasn't quite so extremely loud. The waitress, a young lady, was quite professional and very friendly, despite the fact that there was a family celebration going on in the next room.
The food was very good as always. I had a small downer, in one of my 4 lamb chops there was a strand of...

Even if we are already oldies and have not fit into such a scene bar, we were interested in the tapas menu. So my sweetheart reserved two seats. Once there, good advice was expensive, where on earth is this restaurant. For me, the Centro Oberhausen is still the modern counterpart to the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. We had seen several signs pointing towards the promenade, which then no longer led somewhere. A shot through the...
