Winter Blues, Bread & Roses
SCHILLER'S CAFE QUEDLINBERG, GERMANY
When winter is lacking in snow & ski villages are not an option (despite not having ever been an option $$$$) off the beaten path are villages offering discounted hotel rooms -usually -- (more on that later....) few tourists, and a myriad of ways to beat the winter blues by merely basking in the winter hues, with warm food.
Nestled in the village of Quedlinberg, Germany is Schiller cafe. Inside, the cafe's rustic setting is characterized by century's old building techniques, none of which required use of a level. Between uneven ceiling beams and floor boards one will find the friendly workers offer consistently apt service as well as traditional homemade meals inspired by the local region that change in accord to the season.
Equally, Schiler's Cafe shows it is not stuck in a rut... the menu is spotted with non-German quinine, such as their tapas plate -- we ordered the gluten-free version, which was plentiful and a pleasant diversion from standard meaty German dishes. The tapas plate, like the soup, changes daily.
In short....Schiller's prices are fair, food is good, service is excellent and the atmosphere inspiring (in the read a book, compose a letter, poem, or symphony kind of way -- evidently, called Schiller's for good reason).
