"Last vacation! The Christmas gift of my brother: 2 days Hamburg. So that we can enjoy the Hanseatic city on Saturday morning, we plan to arrive the day before. This stop should be at the A7 and as close as possible to Hamburg. Of course we also want to eat well and stay well maintained. The map is examined, Burgwedel is supposed to be a beautiful small town. Then it is examined what to find in GastroGuide. Critical friend hbeermann was here more often with professional background. The homepage makes a convincing impression. Book online and book a table for 4 people for dinner. Why for 4 people? I wrote Hbeermann spontaneously. Wouldn't be nice if it fits in time and you will be able to defy the internet anonymity and get to know yourself personally. I dared not to hope, but: the promise came fast, my husband and I were very happy for the evening. Lack of reliable internet on holiday, I am finally moving. In the early evening we came to the beautiful city. The Kokenhof is only a short distance from the highway and can be found quickly. Parking is abundant. The house is suitable for disabled people. Something before the agreed time and very thirsty we went to the hotel bar in front of the restaurant. There we ordered a bottle of mineral water dear Hbeermann: The corner of the eye is distorted, it was not a Hugo; . Point 19.00 hbeermanns entered the historic semi-beer house. Welcome followed and we were accompanied to our reserved and impeccable table in the cozy restaurant. Reinforced tablecloths, napkins, candles, flower... all there. The tables are not too close, so you don't have to listen to the conversations of other guests. The farm is also beautiful, unfortunately the weather has not played so much to sit outside. With the aperitif we quickly agreed that the preference for champagne of my “college” was of course not lost to me. So for and four: Champagne Duval has 12,50 € each. That was served immediately, for my taste he might have been a bit cooler. The selection of our foods went a bit, we had so much to say. The men drowned it with the version. The wine book was handed over. hbeermann, car driver tonight, 3 non-drivers sought us a good wine, the very friendly service woman supported the choice very well. It was then allowed to be the dry Riesling “Tesch unplugged” from the winery Tesch from Langenlonsheim Nahe to 27,50 €. The fragrance very fruity, pleasant acidity, slightly splashy. A modern white wine, I am always amazed at how well the near wines have developed in recent years. And a very fair price. What I can't say about the ordered German mineral water. We arrive again at € 7.00 for 0.75 l! It is a L’eau San Souci! Even the sound of this name, it is sensitive. But don't worry? I cannot get friends with this water price, even if ambience and food fit into the frame. Water is an important basic supply for me, no ability is required to open the bottle. We discuss rental brakes, why not discuss mineral water prices? On the homepage, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is quoted: “Access to safe water is a basic human need and therefore a basic human right....” Right! And a cooler didn't get our water either. For this, our fine Riesling landed again and again in its ice water pool after being in and after. The waiting period was bridged by enthusiastic conversations and 2 kitchen greetings. At first a basket with 3 varieties of fresh bread was served, with Fleur de Sel, good olive oil and herbal cheese and service lady. Fresh, heated bread herbal cream, Fleur de sel, olive oil Shortly afterwards followed the second amuse. An excellent paprika in the espresso cup, salmon-sashimi, mild wasabi-foam and a bulgurnocke with fine vegetables, well lubricated with cumin. The Wasabifoam would not have been so mild, but the airy consistency was excellent. Our appetizers were served together. For my husband his favorite appetizer: Beef Carpaccio with pine nuts and Parmesan € 12.50. He was very happy. The thin meat is beautifully marinated. The roasted pine nuts gave a good aroma and of course also the grated parmesan. Upstairs a Rucolabouquet and fresh herbs. Cattle Carpaccio I chose the asparagus salad with pesto to € 12,00. A dream! White and green asparagus pieces, cocktail tomatoes, rocket. In delicate dressing. Pesto and Kresse rounded off the court. asparagus salad Before the most important courses there was another palate refreshment for surprise. A forest sorbet in cocktail glass, if desired, poured with champagne. We didn't say no. berries sorel The main dishes were served for us four together on well preheated dishes. Seet fillets with lime incubator and herbal puree at € 28,50 for my husband. The perfectly fried fillets on fine vegetables. In addition, cams of herbal puree. The lime tastes very good and harmonious. For me there were two lobsters, spinach and saffron noodles at €29.50. A very nicely dressed plate. The two things: a grape in a separate dish. Hummer pieces and spring onions, baked as ragout with cheese golden yellow. In addition lobster pieces on leaf spinach. The saffron noodles became a fine and fresh linguine of the best quality, above a lobster shear. It's easy to foam. Good, good! 2 types of lobster Both dishes decorated with colorful chips. Unfortunately we had no place for a dessert for the suffering of Hbeermann. Too bad he had no one. Of course, speakers would have been presented here. An espresso could be at the end. Hbeermann had not so much of it, but the reinforced fine fabric nap unfortunately I have no photo of the espresso battle. The fine pralines on the ground were safely compensated. Sweet for espresso The service was top and worries us very attentive, without being felt as disturbing in any way. Food has been announced, drinks are refreshed, ask if everything is right or something is desired. That was funny. Finally, the Kokenhof: We are also very good. Well maintained, cozy room with plenty of space. The breakfast buffet was also very lush. Just the thermo coffee, I couldn't drink it. Tell me how you write, and I'll tell you who you are! We had no doubt that we understand each other well. hbeermanns was the same. After the Saarschmeckers and Nolux we now know 3 pairs of GastroGuidekollegs. In September there is a 4th session. Don't say the Internet is anonymous! We missed the Mannheim meeting on the same weekend. We had a nice, successful evening. Unfortunately, he was too short. The bill came to a common document, we compiled uncomplicated. We followed Hbeermanns on the door. Warm farewell, Winke Winke behind the sounding small car. Hopefully there is the possibility of reunification!"
