ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
This place is like having dinner with friends and family ( well if you like your friends and family) .
Seriously - An amazing wife and husband team Christine and Marcus, in a casual intimate setting with great humor, kindness and just an absolute pleasure to meet them our trip to Dusseldorf.
As I usually do when traveling I left the menu up to the very capable Marcus and Christine, with one exception I needed a chartreuse platter ( had a craving), all other foods were left to them. Christine paired the wines and suggested some I had never had
( variety is the spice to life).
An amazing 5 hour goose reduction bone broth with pappardelle pasta with the most tender non gamey goose meat with amazing flavor and richness- ( Marcus we know your secret ingredient) Then a risotto I can still taste as I write this review. Sausage, pine nuts and a truffles. The richness was just amazing and Marcus if I can suggest take that amazing broth you made for the goose and make that into a sauce for the risotto ( I had some mix on my plate and ...WOW)
Still Hungry... Not really but had to try one more of dish on my last night and Marcus did not disappoint, a long grain Basmati rice with a beef/ butter/ tender crazy good curry dish.
All gone and now the desserts, the wine pairing that Christine just knocked out of this world.
Then meeting the older of the 2 sons helping shut down and clean up and getting a tour of this old pub that Christine and Marcus renovated 2 years ago.
