We last visited Nanstein Castle quite a long time ago. As we found ourselves in the area again we…read moredecided to stop by for old times sake and see how restoration was going. Well, sadly, we showed up on the one day of the week the castle was closed. However, we were able to stop into the Burgschanke for a bite to eat which was a completely unexpected stop as this 'castle tavern' was not here the last time we visited! We were approached as soon as we entered and asked if we had a reservation. Oh, no. Turned out OK as they had two tables available at the moment. Yea! The staff speak English, the menu is in English so no worries if you don't speak German. We had a light lunch of beef broth with bone marrow balls and a side salad. They also have wursts and other German fare you would expect. But we don't have huge appetites so this lunch suited us very well. First the soup. A rich, dark beef broth. A little salty, and very flavorful. The bone marrow balls remind me of matzah balls. This was an all together satisfying starter. It came with a small loaf of bread. Soft on the inside, crusty on the outside. A very nice, warm accompaniment to the soup. Next, the salad. We had been in Germany over two weeks at this point and none of the meals we had up to this point really reminded us of those we remembered from when we lived in Germany. That's fine. Pallets change. Chefs like to experiment. It's all good. But this salad! This is the salad we remember. The mix of greens. The salad dressing. This folks is a German salad. I know you might not care, but I am so happy to have found that taste again. It was fresh and flavorful and exactly what we needed. A hotel is located a little ways down the hill from the castle. Some people parked there and walked up. We drove all the way up to the castle and found parking on site. You can also walk all the way up to the castle or ride your bike on one of the many trails crisscrossing the property. The ambiance here is chill, fun and very German. The staff are friendly, professional and easy going. Restrooms are down a hall at the back of the restaurant. Remember to call in a reservation! You should definitely stop by for a meal.

The service can be a bit slow, since it is just one person up front, but the food is lovely and the prices aren't bad.

My husband and I both ordered schnitzel - I got the peppercorn schnitzel (my husband's recommendation) and he got the schnitzel special. We both got the spatzle. The schnitzel was delicious. The peppercorn sauce on mine was amazing. My husband loved his as well. The spatzle was so great. I'm a big fan of fresh spatzle. The biggest bummer was that we weren't able to get dessert! The kitchen closed while we were eating dinner and we didn't know! So when we went to order dessert we were unable. That was def a real bummer. Despite that, we would definitely return!

Located outside of Ramstein AB, the restaurant is an authentic German restaurant with a touch of…read moreAmericanism. The interior is one of a traditional German village eating establishment, but being located close to an American base, it make concessions such a menu with pictures and English to make it easier to order. The "Stammtisch" (German for "regulars' table) is not a table, but a section of bar. Great traditional fare with accompanying beer or wine. I dined on the traditional schnitzel and it did not disappoint as it was accompanied by a great local beer. Keep room for dessert and some schnapps to help with the digestion. NOTE: it is a smallish establishment so you need to make reservations to dine, it is well worth the effort to make a reservation and dine. Guten appetite!

Janna was our frequent server and she was so quick and breezy we called her ninja Janna or 'Ninj Janna' for short. Took great care of us but the ENTIRE staff here is top, top shelf!

Ramstein village is a small village in between Landsthul and Meisembach and is on the Meisembach side of the village. There was a festival on-going at the time as well so the roads were blocked but we drive around them anyway. There used to be a German bowling alley there as well. Now closed but the gasthaus is still there. Worth the effort to go. The pizza is good as well. Lots of carry out for pizza. Lots of phone orders coming in. Traffic was light and service was good.

Luxury hotel and restaurant with a deep medieval history to explore…read more The castle ("schloss") originally built in 1152 by famed Emperor Frederick I (aka "Barbarossa" or in English: 'red beard') was part of an extensive network of defensive positions designed to protect the SW borders of the Rheinland Palatinate. The original works were further strengthened by landed-knight Franz von Sickingen to supposedly withstand 16th century artillery. His efforts were less than successful since the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times afterwards without much success. The current ruins date from the French inflicted destruction of 1689 during the Nine-Years War (which incidentally engulfed not only all of Europe but also spilled over to Asia, the Caribbean, and the New World, where it was known in the Colonies as "King William's War"). History aside, the current establishment is resplendent with first-class room accommodations (renovated and well appointed... check out the eiderdown pillows and comforters) and an impressive 4-star restaurant with changing menus and fantastic chefs. I highly recommend all the local specialties ("spargel" or white asparagus is in season in spring and should not be passed up if it's on the menu as well as all the local game--trout, boar, red deer--if in season and if listed on the menu), but everything is exceptional so let your own tastes and preferences guide you. The wine list is....well....magnificent, but pricey. Service is typical high-end European (for Americans who've never been out of their country before, this means "grow patience, be humble, and just go with the flow"... you won't be disappointed). Don't pass up an opportunity to walk the grounds and review the ramparts. It's a lovely workout and the changes in elevation are good for the cardiovascular... Vielen Dank for reading my review. Guten appetit!

Wonderful hotel in an old, beautiful, medieval structure…read more We stayed here monthly for almost two years, and our late evening/morning host always put out food and local beer for us on our late evening arrival from Ramstein AB. The rooms are modern, quiet, inviting, exceptionally clean, well-maintained by an efficient but friendly staff who were very pleasant, had old-world manners, and regarded us with understandably professional distance. The rooms were a bit smaller than those in most American hotels, but they are lavishly appointed and very comfortable. Despite the considerable language barrier, our hosts were very accommodating: we made frequent trips to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, visiting wounded/injured American GIs, and our host always arranged reliably for our transportation - which we appreciated very much. An excellent place to stay.

As the first taste of Germany it definitely helped me get it!…read more Theres plenty parking outside the BX and the area where this restaurant is has many shops and entertainment. The ordering style here is line up and order at the counter, once that is done someone gives you a number and the food runner will bring the order according to the number you display not he table. A funny thing here is that they do not bring all the food at once and they do bring as it gets ready and released by the kitchen, that seems to be a common practice in the country. the prices here are pretty reasonable and the decor is pretty cool! I really loved that they actually have a water fountain inside the restaurant. The food I got here was pretty good. MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL - it came with a choice of side and the sides are pretty ok, not the best but ok. however the mushroom sauce is pretty amazing and I came back here for this dish many times. The sweets here are a bit of a waste of time and the drinks are ok but this dish I had was the best thing in the house in my opinion. this is a great intro to the tastes of Germany.
