"A hot hot day is this Monday in Karlstadt. After a hike around the Karlstädter Schlossberg in Toms Eismanufaktur we cooled down, then freshened and are now on Monday evening on the Pirsch after a restaurant kitten in Karlstädter Hauptstraße. It is like bewitched – some of the restaurants are closed, Monday is rest day. We're always standing in front of closed doors, so you could suspect a plot. And the few restaurants that have opened are occupied to the last place. “Let’s go away from the main road towards the railway station,” I say to my wife without plan. A stroller tour leads us through angled alleys, and suddenly we see cheerful people at garden tables emptying their plates in a park. We landed on Jahnstraße, which hits the new railway line. The corner building is the hotel railway with a Maldives chef and international dishes. On the other side of the Jahnstraße, right opposite the hotel side, a park-like complex spreads out, in the middle of the hotel's beer garden. We see free tables, we ask a young serving lady if something is still free for two people. She must clarify this, she tells us, and after some time she comes to us smiling and points to a second table where we could sit. Finally, we sit and also in a pleasant park ambience with shady trees. Two young ladies work in the service. You have a lot to do, which is why the obvious boss is helping. The ladies are very friendly, ask the usual questions about the satisfaction of the guest. However, the service paralyzes something that is still forgiven for the numerous guests. Not so easy to forgive, however, is a patzer that I noticed late at my main court. Instead of the vegetarian variant, I get the chicken variant. We start with an aperitif, a kind of self-reward, because we want to enjoy the stay now after we've been on the Pirsch for so long. Two • Limoncello splash (each 5.50 € it should be a start. Thanks to ice cubes, the limoncelli are well cooled and splashy. A service lady counts us on demand the ingredients: Limoncello, Minze, Prosecco, mineral water and ice cubes. “Lecker dat”, says the Rhineland. The service ladies let us have time for the aperitif, which will suit us because we are studying the menu with steak dishes, Maldives curries, salad dishes and burgers. Finally, note one of the young ladies • Muguriha (vegetarian lentil curry, lentils and vegetables cooked in coconut milk sauce and Maldives spices, with rice, raita (yoghurt-dip and papadam (thin fried flakes, 12,80 € for my favourites and • Quesadilla (Tortilla stuffed with cheese, gedunsted onions and vegetables, guavaria The Quesadilla is offered in “small” and “large” and in the variants “vegetaric”, “with chicken strips”, “with bovine strips” or “with shrimps”, the Muguriha “vegetaric”, “with shrimps” or “with salmon”. Our liquid level wants to raise my wife with a • silvaner, dry, from viticulture Frank, Karlstädter Rossenal (0.25 l to 4.80 € and I with a • Martinus from the bottle, bright (0.5 l to 4.10 €). Later my wife tries the • Domina, dry, a red also from vineyard Frank, Karlstädter Rossenal (0.2 l to 4.80 €). Martinus from the bottle, bright wine and beer come quickly and appropriately cooled. Ahh! Now we are waiting for a while, the young ladies wear plates on plates from the kitchen on the other side of the street. And finally we're on the line. Muguriha Muguriha – Supplements The lentil curry is served in a small soup bowl, the supplements on a flat, black dish. The curry is unfortunately little seasoned, the lentils and vegetables are covered, so that the individual components are hardly identifiable: tomato pieces, the appearance of peas and carrots. My wife has not taken the ingredients of the curry any closer, as the dish has come to the table and has eaten them faster. The Papadams know my sweetheart, and the Raita. She promised more spices from her court as a whole and is therefore a little disappointed. Quesadilla My Quesadilla is well filled with a vegetable mix. Guacamole, tomato sauce and sour cream taste good. I have been eating for a while without taking the inside of the tortilla bags closer under the magnifying glass and firmly convinced to eat vegetarian. No trace of meat taste. But suddenly I notice chicken meat taste. “There’s chicken in there,” I say to my wife when I have consumed almost three of the bags. The chicken strips that have nothing to look for in the court ordered by me are obviously very unequally distributed. I think I should ask for replacement, but because of my almost stilled appetite and eat the chicken stripe variant, which also sounds good to me. On the invoice, this variant is also worth €15.50. In retrospect, I should have better pointed out to the interchanged court, so that the mistake of the kitchen and the serviceman becomes aware. I am now not a militant vegan, I also like to eat meat, but “vegetarian ordered” also means “vegetarian delivered”, even if the chicken quesadilla tasted me well. That's why: a clear drop. While my wife is trying the “Domina”, my “plenus venter” demands a perseverance, a fruit brand (2 cl for 2.80 €, which is served uncooled but aroma-enveloping. There's nothing to complain about cleanliness. We haven't visited the toilets. The prices for food and beverages seem to us appropriate and local. However, the incorrectly served Quesadilla variant impairs the ratio of prices to performance in kitchen and service. We would give the Hotel Bahn another chance. Bugs happen now, and the servicemen had all the hands to do."
