My German friend took me here because he said it was great local cuisine. As an appetizer we had…read morethe traditional "handkase mit musik" - a kind of mild soft cheese with diced oiled onions, served on rye bread. I'll let a local explain the "mit musik" joke to you. I got the Frankfurter schnitzel with their famous green sauce. It's creamy, pale green, and made from 7 different herbs. Apparently the exact herbs vary with the restaurant, but it looks a lot like Green Goddess dressing. Tastes good - apparently it doesn't "keep" and has to be made fresh each day, so you can't order the real deal off Amazon or whatever. I loved my schnitzel. Didn't manage to finish all of my excellent french fries that accompanied it. Wife had a small salad I think. My friend had a schnitzel, too (he almost always does) and his 7 year old daughter had chicken nuggets. Everyone was happy.

The Schnitzel here is ridiculous. Best meal I had in Germany. I highly recommend the Veal Schnitzel.read more

4 Stars for a restaurant found inside a castle? Well, ya!…read more Ok, I'll admit, I only had a glass of wine and cake which were both great. But, the view is the real star of the restaurant. In summer, get a table on the outside terrace for beautiful views of the valley (including a power plant of some kind in the distance). The immediate area includes wineries and the hillsides are covered with grape vines. The day we were visited there was a glider flying (gliding?) above us. I think the pilot may have had a few too many of the local Rieslings because he headed right for us on a number of occasions but it made for an entertaining day! Food and drink are reasonably priced for having such a captive audience (in America they'd price gauge). Same prices as other restaurants in the area. E 3.60 for wine, 2.00 for mineral water, 5.70 for Apfelstrudel mit Eis (that's apple strudel with ice cream - I mean really, if you can't get that, you better leave Germany. Quick). The E 5.70 Schwarzwaldbecher (black forest sundae) was AWESOME! The deal of the day was the E 2.10 Blechkuchen which literally translates to 'sheet metal cake' but somehow that just doesn't do it justice. It was a delicious, moist, creamy, slightly cheesy but not quite cheese-cake, cake. If you're up for it, its worth parking the car at the very bottom parking lot and taking the walk up to the castle. Its about 30-45 minute walk, up hill most of the way on a paved road until the very end where it is a dirt road. If you're not 'up for it', drive as far as you can, up the mountain, to the parking lots at the foot of the castle. You'll still have to haul yourself up a small hill but if you didn't have as many pints as I did the night before, you'll make it just fine (I had to stop a few times). The restaurant is only open on weekends starting in Nov (through April, I think). The castle is open every day.

Now this is what I call a Schloss! :)…read more The place is worth a visit just to have a wander round, there's another review on Qype for this, but if you need refreshment, you won't be disappointed. They serve food in the restored part of the castle and you can sit out on their balcony with a wonderful view of the forest and surrounding area. Or sit inside and worry about all the sharp weapons. They have the heaviest menu I've ever seen (it's made of wood). Children are welcome and they are given place mats of knights and horses etc to colour in. (Why do they always have all the fun?) The food is wholesome and hearty, typical German fair, from meaty soups to my favourite, Apfrelstrudel. If you are here in the winter, the hot chocolate is yummy! Especially if you had to push your bike up the hill (a long story). I've knocked a point off because it's not open all year round (check their website for the opening times)
