If you didn't know this was a restaurant you'd never find it. But it is so worth finding. From…read morethe street you walk past all the lit windows and climb several steps to a door that I can't recall if it has so much as a brass plaque on it. But you swing open that door and... Well, not magic. Just dark bricks and a near-empty bar to the left. So you go downstairs. And that is where the magic happens. That is where the tables are full, and, European style, you may end up sharing your table with complete strangers. The brick ceilings are low and arched, darkened with age and I imagine the soot of years of candles. It actually looks a bit like the interior of a brick pizza oven, come to think of it. The atmosphere was cozy and the place gave off a good feeling, the kind of place you want to go back to. I was gonna get the pike fish, the menu description intrigued me. (Thank goodness for Google translate.) But I always ask the servers what's amazing, and he said hands down the burger. I had no idea I wanted a burger. But it was the perfect meal for me at that moment. Sometimes things just click. It was dense. It was meaty. It was thick and a little bit smoky. I had trouble getting it into my mouth, and I went through about 4 napkins because it was so juicy. Even the fries were the perfect crunch. Hubs and his work colleague each went for steak. I tried hubs' (that's what I do, and it's part of the marriage contract, right?), and it was the perfect doneness for me, medium rare, almost but not quite bloody. Be advised, though, hubs had ordered his "rosa", which is to say medium and pink. They evidently consistently undercook their steaks, because I was a little sad for hubs' colleague, who ordered his well-done, and that's just wrong (at least he didn't top it with ketchup). But it came out a happy pink, which was his plan, so he's figured out what to say to the chefs to get what he wants. Hubs' colleague told us before we ordered that the creme brulée was amazing here so we each got one. Delicious! And accompanied by fruit, ice cream, and a decorative garnish of chocolate, mango, and raspberry syrups. I love recs because I never would have found this place, or that meal, or that dessert without help. And I would go there again in a heartbeat.

Asking people from Speyer where to take guests to for dinner the Goldener Engel will be among the…read morenamed loacations. It may be a bit hard to find because its not along the main street. If you enter the building you step into an entrance area first. I think lately there was a bar or vinotheque opened in that area. The restaurant is down in a cosy vaulted cellar. Wine and meals are very good. Booking a table in advance is a good idea but its worth going there and try and find out if there are some seats left. Don't be astonished if you are offered to join foreign people's table sharing a table with other guests. You may agree to do so because this is common in this part of Germany. One star minus because if there are a lots of guests it may be a bit loud and hard to talk to each other.

But you be smarter than me and make a reservation!!! Seated in an upstairs dining room there are coat hooks on the wall, an old enameled stove as decor and maybe five tables in this cozy room with deep window sills and bench seating. We were given enough time to peruse the menu but we had checked out their menu on display outside the door and knew what we wanted. (btw: menu's in German but the waiter speaks English) My SO had the best Paprika Schnitzel he can remember ever having in our 30 years of visiting Germany. Wow. This guy loves Paprika Schnitzel! I had the small steak (200g) and it was so perfectly cooked medium and perfectly lean. I ordered it with herb butter which was exactly as flavorful as I'd hoped! You can also order it with pepper sauce or fried onions (your choice) and it comes with the house bread. Salad and other sides are a la carte. We paired our meals with a beer on tap and a dry red wine. They also have other bar items, and non-alcohol beverages. We didn't stay for coffee and dessert, but without a doubt we would happily return (with reservations) next visit!!!

After our usual walking tour and some window shopping we arrived at the recommended place and got a table. Ms T was not hungry and just wanted a pretzel. I wanted some kind of wurst and found one item that satisfied both; three weißwurst served with a soft pretzel. I wanted something with it and ordered creamy green beans. This was another simple but wonderful meal. I peeled the sausage as we were taught in Münich and ate them with the supplied mustard. The green beans are probably the best I have eaten. They were in a light white sauce seasoned with tiny cubes of ham, bohnenkraut (summer savory) and black pepper. They were absolutely delicious. I make something similar at home with cream instead of the white sauce, but unless I grow my own, I cannot get the high quality, fresh, slender beans that they have. Next time I will copy this version as well as possible. We each drank 0.5L of their house Pilsner which was excellent. Again, we had very friendly and helpful service in a very nice local place. It was another memorable meal on-shore in Germany.
