Armed with 12 days of Duolingo, we peeked in the door of SpitalKeller. It looked inviting with classic German architecture, so we went in. The help were friendly, made sense of our poor German, and even helped us out by throwing in English words for us. The portions were ample. I had pork medallions over spaetzle, which came in a large iron skillet and included three large medallions. They were very tasty and cooked to perfection. My wife and son had pork schnitzel with spaetzle. They agreed that the food was very good and the portions were large. We enjoyed a Weis-Gold and a Pilsner with it, and they appeared to have a large wine menu and cocktails. The bill was very reasonable - we were extremely surprised. Give this place a try. It was great!

The restaurant Seehof has a pretty unassuming entrance in a little street, but its terrace provides stunning views over Bodensee, or Lake Constance as its actual name is in English. I was visiting Friedrichshafen for just about a day and wanted to have a nice meal by the water. I quickly came across a few positive reviews of Seehof and decided to go there. Later, a local friend told me, that many people who live in Friedrichshafen do not yet know about this great little gem, so it is surprisingly still kind of an insider tip. When I walked in on a Sunday around noon, the restaurant was not very busy and I chose probably the table with the best view over the water. I was quickly handed the menu and browsed through the different items. I missed a Riesling on the wine list. It turns out that the Müller-Thurgau white wine I had ordered was great and fresh and soon I forgot that there was no Riesling on the menu. Also, I would recommend asking for a tap water instead of bottled water, because this very lake is the source of excellent drinking water. I started right with a main and they were very friendly and flexible, so I could customise my order and go off-menu. I went with pork tenderloin and home-made spätzle with gravy. It came with a little starter of salad with quite a bit vinegar - that is how they do it in the area, but I am not a big fan of these salads. For many people, the tenderloin would have been the main ingredient of the dish. Not for me - without a question, the grated spätzle were excellent and the true star. The gravy was nice and tangy, although perhaps a little bit fatty. The pieces of pork tenderloin were soft and delicious. For dessert, I had a mousse au chocolat which was alright, but it did not wow me as the spätzle did. After becoming used to London food prices, I was surprised when I saw the bill. It was a very reasonable price for good food, great wine and a perfect view in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Overall, I can only recommend Seehof. If you get a front-row table in the sun, it's worth to go for the view alone. Accompanied by at least a Müller-Thurgau to keep you cool so you can enjoy the view a bit longer.
