I'm usually skeptical about hotel restaurants, but this was a definitely above-average experience…read more We were staying in the hotel on our way through the area, and decided not to bother driving back into Schwemlingen or Merzig proper for dinner. So the hotel restaurant it was! The interior portion is quite small, with a small bar area and tables for maybe 16 people total, but once the weather gets nice they seem to open a big outdoor area with a ton of additional tables. Everything was super well maintained, and the decor was classic but with some cute touches like the gnome-sized table centerpieces. While the menu itself isn't super long, there was enough variety, and whet we had (and saw on other tables) was excellent. The bunter salatteller wit gebratener putenbrust (colorful salad with turkey breast) was a substantial salad; like a good German mixed salad, it had not just lettuce but also sauerkraut, red cabbage slaw, shredded carrot slaw, and other assorted toppings. Throw in a healthy portion of good turkey breast and you have a real meal. If you want to eat less healthy, the schweinemedallions mit champignons in rahmsauce (pork tenderloin with mushroom gravy) is another good choice. The pork was well cooked and flavorful, and the gravy wasn't overwhelming. On top of all that, the service was quite friendly. While the menu was only in German, the waiter offered to translate anything that we couldn't read, and he made some recommendations for things to do in the area. All in all a surprisingly good choice, and if we're in the area again we would definitely stay and eat here again!

Brauhaus style interior design paired with amazing service. The food was good but not outstanding.read more

I spent a few nights drinking here, and one night having a full meal and drinks. The food was…read morefantastic, and the drinks were well made. Their beers brewed on site were all very good and provided a nice relief to all the lagers everywhere. Prices were what I considered very affordable, like 4 euro a beer and about 10 euro a plate on average I believe. I had the Schnitzel Cordon Bleu" and as I said, it was out of this world. The decor is very impressive as well. Sort of a rustic modern vibe to the place. You can see into the brewing room which is always fun, and the layout is very open, with a second story walkway around the rim of the room where the offices were located I assume. Perhaps what I enjoyed most about Saarfurst Brauhaus was how kind and helpful everyone was with me and my horrible, horrible German. They were patient when I tried to actually speak German and happy to speak English when I gave up. Also, the bartender taught me the tipping customs in the area so I didn't continue to look like such an ignorant American. Two thumbs up!!
