My Bremen family (via husband) have been coming to this local speciality restaurant since the 90's…read more The setting is in an idyllic farm location outside of Bremen; Lilienthal, which clearly hasn't changed in years, if not decades. The menu is seasonal; if not 'Taglich' (daily). The Chef prides himself in cooking everything for all of his guests, for every meal. This particular occasion was a celebration that my Father-in-law arranged for his survival of a recent stroke. My usual preparation to a restaurant visit, old and new, is to read recent reviews. In previous visits to Zur Schleuse, I recall enjoying 'healthified' versions of the menu offerings. Perhaps this was a previous trend? Our respective selections (photos) attached, were much more heavy. In reading reviews, menu guests have experienced the same. I'm wondering if the Chef (or sous-Chef) can consider a 'healthified' menu; where the fish is prepared in simple cooking techniques (poached, grilled, roasted) without so much oil. Also, the menu seems inflexible to any dietary restrictions and allergies (please correct me otherwise). But the fish was clearly fresh and tasty. My husband ordered an extraordinary plum dessert that still remains on my palate. The rustic setting, homestyle atmosphere, welcoming service, made up for any of the above critique. It was (yet another) memorable family meal.

Indeed, that was the case. The terrace was rather quiet, with about 2 other patrons enjoying themselves. I ordered a "Greek salad" which surprisingly consisted of: turkey strips, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, grapes, melon, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, endive. It was a very tasty salad. It is just not what I would have labeled as a Greek salad. The house beers, which were my main goal, were also quite a treat. I'm glad I made the trek out.

A very enjoyable meal and pleasant ambiance especially for lunch. The set menu is excellent value…read more If you don't like smoke get a table well away from the smoking salon as the door is left open to the rest of the dining area

Better known as "Kaffee Verrueckt" (crazy cafe) by the locals, Kaffee Worpswede is the one of the…read moremain attractions in this former artists commune in North Germany. It is a piece of art in its own right having been conceived by expressionist architect Bernhard Hoetger. Just like Worpswede as a whole, the cafe/restaurant is entirely reliant on tourism. This is reflected by the opening hours which cater for a long weekend starting on Wednesday and closed on Monday and Tuesday - very disappointing when you hope to catch a less crowded glimpse and a more relaxed taste of the menu once the Sunday coach loads have departed ... It is almost impossible to get a table for lunch of afternoon tea without prior reservation, especially since the kitchen was taken over by a renowned chef a few years ago - as a guest you now compete with the regular sightseeing crowd as well as foodies.
