We had saved Dattler for our last dinner in Germany & we definitively saved the best for last! Be…read moresure to make your reservations ahead of time to get the window tables!
Perched high on the mountain, you're offered sweeping views of Freiburg & its surrounding Black Forest, while you get to consume the most delish German gourmet food around. ( Not sure what the other reviewer meant by French food b/c the Mr - who is German - said this was most definitely German cuisine & not French....but what do I know? You should just come here & decide for yourself )
We drove here but there is also a small gondola-type thing that will bring walkers up the hill as well - we got to see it making trips up & down throughout our evening. Also got to see people out walking or playing fetch w/ their dogs in the flowery fields below & w/ Dattler's panoramic windows granting access to the whole valley, we sure felt as if we were in a picture book
Appetizers included:
Consommé w/ dumplings. Extremely good & the clear meaty broth complimented the little meaty dumplings.
Asparagus Mousse w/ Fried Asparagus Spears & Salad. Outstanding! The asparagus was firm & cooked perfectly so that there was still a bit of crunch & no hint of slimy or stringy.
Mains included:
Risotto - this version was made from white rice & was paired w/ green & white asparagus. Absolutely delish w/ its creamy Parmesan sauce & again, the asparagus was cooked just perfectly
Sander (Pike) Fillets w/ Mashed Potatoes for Mom. Beef Entrecôte w/ Frites for Dad. Both said the Frites were the best they had ever had
Desserts included:
Sorbet Assortment for Daddy - He liked mango best. Lemon & raspberry were also part of the assortment & he liked them as well...but he loved the mango
Banana split for Mom. She loved the chocolate sauce.
Mr & I got the Nut Ice Cream w/ Eggnog Liquor. Super awesome - we really liked the hazelnut taste w/ the eggnog bite of the liquor
Nice cognac to end the evening & see the city lights twinkle
