I was walking though the Christmas Market and was referred to the Hotel Columbi for dinner. I was…read morepleasantly surprised, and quite impressed with Falkenstube. The langostino appetizer was exquisite. The rib and filet entrée was incredibly tasty, and cheese after dinner was a perfect way to end the night. The wine selection was vast, and the sommelier was quite helpful in selecting an excellent local wine. I will return the next time I am in Frieberg.

My friend from Seléstat brought me here, claiming that they had the best flammekueches/tartes…read moreflambées in the area. No joke. The tartes flambées had a nice crispiness to them on the outside, thanks to the dough being nice and thin. The second one we had, with Munster cheese - an Alsatian specialty - was the star of the show, with a wonderfully complex flavour that wasn't overpowering. Add yourself a relaxed seating area outdoors, and you've got yourself a winner. Definitely check this place out when you're around.

Luckily, we had stopped into the tourist office beforehand as the owner of the Adler Wirtshaus was a witness at the wedding. The tourist agent said not to eat there as the food is no longer great. She suggested Bräukeller, I was very glad she did. I had the Wurstsalat (meat salad), which was very tasty and my friend had the daily special, chanterelle risotto and we both had the incredible Ketterer Naturtrüb pils. The restaurant is built next to an old section of the town wall.

Please note, they also have the same lunch menu as dinner menu so be prepared to pay full price. Be sure to bring cash or a credit card with a chip. They do not take the standard Visa or MC with the swipe stripe. With that out of the way, you will find this restaurant delightful and the food some of the best in Europe. We were on a 45 day vacation in many countries and my husband and I both agree this sent our tastebuds soaring. The staff was also lovely as they welcomed the locals and us English speaking tourists equally. The menu was available in English and we enjoyed each moment...not rush and not ignored, as we have felt in other places. After ordering we were presented with free taste of fresh soup and bread, then the escargot appetizer we ordered. The sparkling wines in this town are amazing, the one we chose was from the family next door. Our entrees, as my husband says, danced in our mouth. The very best ingredients and a talented chef made it a lunch to always remember.

He is full of joy and kindness, which is reflected in the charming atmosphere of his authentic German restaurant. The lodging is comfortable and modest.

It feels like a home away from home! Best vacation ever!
