It was challenging to find any local specialties on the menu. I ordered a pizza, which was essentially a pizza crust with salad on top of it. I was ok with this because I couldn't decide if I wanted a pizza or salad, so this was the best of both worlds. I decided to add ricotta top my pizza. I'm glad I did because otherwise the pizza would have been lacking a cheesy/creamy element. The steak on the pizza was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The salad dressing was a little bland and could definitely have been jazzed up a bit. We went there with a big group of people. Based off of what the others got, it seems that this place shines with their meat dishes, but less so with their greens. Our waiter provided excellent service and was very accommodating of the group!

The Kamin Dreierlei came with three different variations on one flatbread, making this a great dish for trying a variety of toppings. The "Parma" came with sour cream, arugula, tomatoes, Serrano ham, and shaved Parmesan; the "Mainzer" came with sour cream, sliced potatoes, bacon, onions, and Raclette cheese; and the "Scharfe" was a spicy combination of sour cream, pepperoni, onions, cheese, and hot peppers. The flatbread dough was perfectly thin and crispy, and my favorite toppings were the spicy "Scharfe" and the more traditional "Mainzer." We also got a side salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, olives, and goat cheese--a refreshing combination of veggies to go with the Flammkuchen!

The first time we saw this restaurant by the Gutenberg Museum, we thought it looks like a pricy,…read moretouristy place. But some of our friends tried it and highly recommended it, so we went for lunch to try it out. This place seems to be busy at any time of the day, and it's easy to see why. The place is modern and comfortable, on one wall there are lots of head silhouette... wonder if there is any significance who these people are? Menu is in German, and we find the price is slightly high, but not unreasonable, and the food quality is definitely top notch! They have the ubiquitous schnitzel, pretzel, sausages as well as other traditional dishes, but also have things like coconut curry soup and tempura, and vegan items. When we went there, asparagus was in season, so they had a special asparagus menu, listing about 10 dishes featuring asparagus: asparagus soup, asparagus risotto, asparagus tempura, coconut asparagus panna cotta... We were glad because, just outside the restaurant, there is this huge farmers market, stalls after stalls selling big fat green and white asparagus, but as tourists staying at a hotel we have no way to cook them. Now finally a chance to try the fresh asparagus. I asked my German friends, "You buy the asparagus at the market and cook them home?" "Ja!" "And you order them at restaurants too?" "Oh yes, we eat them several days a week. Because the season is very short." So what happen when the season is over? "We have to wait till next year." "They don't have them at supermarkets?" "No, because then they are not fresh they are no good!" Needless to say, we had the best asparagus of our lives, after which, we just don't bother with American asparagus anymore...

There is no menu in English but you can muddle through, I know you can. I had a lovely plate of cheese, meat, jelly, a hard-boiled egg, and some decorative fruit with a generous basket of bread. There was a liver wurst option on the menu that I substituted with cheese. There was a goat cheese on this plate that was really great. I ate little bites on bread and also had a chai latte. There is a cozy eating area in the back where you can sit and eat on comfy chairs with a coffee table. They also have books and magazines to read. How cool! The service was exceptional and lunch here was about $10-- you can't beat that especially for the quality and quantity of food. Thank you, Hintz and Kuntz for a lovely stop in Mainz.
