"At least in culinary terms. The Vietnamese restaurant “Le Cyclo” is not on the Mekong, but close to the Rhine. More precisely, Wormser Street is a 5-minute walk from the Altpörtel. By the way, the name of the restaurant derives from the tricycle taxi, the so-called "cyclos". These are still of great importance as means of transport in the cities of Southeast Asia. I was attentive to the restaurant opened in June 2014, which was operated by a Vietnamese family by a report in the Rhein-Neckar Gastromagazin “Espresso”. Rudimentary promised signs of the numerous columnists in Tripadvisor for almost inflationary use of the terms "authentic" and "traditional". Of course, you will listen brightly, especially as the last visit of our Mannheim favourite indochinese “Mémoires d’ Indochine” has long been back. Since Speyer is always worth a trip, we returned in the middle of March or at the end of April both times in the “Le Cyclo”. During the first visit we had reservations in advance, which was absolutely necessary on Saturday night, because we occupied the last two tables in the guest room, which includes almost 50 seats. We were placed in the rear part of the restaurant at an unfortunate angle, which was not particularly advantageous for the quality of my “recording”. For a romantic evening to two, the ubiquitous color red can be quite similar because it is known to be for happiness and success. The fact that some associated communism and revolution with it is better suited to the changing history of Vietnam. In any case, the red of the walls created a slightly obscure atmosphere. Lampions in style of Asian Lampions braided from the ceiling. The dark bamboo cover of the walls (and the counter area) and the black lacquered furniture contrast with the brighter wood of the laminate floor. Along with the glass window front, the interior, which was very harmonious, with a part of Asia flair, provided an ideal setting for our culinary journey into the land of the rising dragon. We had hardly entered the small place, we were welcomed with the famous Asian friendliness. In the evening we felt good for the service staff. We were served with care, gladly answered questions about different dishes and repeatedly asked if everything was to our satisfaction. The operators were not intrusive or agreed. Certainly a fact that made us feel fast and comfortable. On the first page of the menu, France's influence on Vietnamese cuisine was discussed. No question, the Grande Nation has pushed the country cuisine of Vietnam based on simple ingredients. Finally, in addition to repression, uprisings and the devastating Indochina war, the approximately 100-year-old colonial rule of the French produced a whole series of interesting dishes. We chose the mixed program from the ten courts. On the “Entrée-mixte-Platte” (12.50 Euro) there were two spring rolls, Wantan and small Vietnamese pancakes (internal to the Dutch Poffertjes) and four summer rolls with shrimp, salad and rice noodles. The sweet fish-based disauce provided with peanut sps gave the appetizers the necessary freshness. Especially the hearty mini pancakes (5.50 euros) tasted after shrimps and spring onions had done it to us, which is why we reordered them as a “sustain”. We enjoyed the Vietnam crêpes made from rice flour together with a light, coconut-dried Nuoc mam sauce for dessert and therefore dispensed with some sweetness. The decision was not easy for the most important foods. No wonder most of the twenty main dishes sound more than tempting. Behind the name ‘Bò Bún Chón Giò’ (10.50 Euro) a bowl with short-fried beef fillets and roast Vietnamese spring rolls on rice noodles or salad. The lukewarm served dish was poured over at the table with Nuoc Mam sauce. It had a beautiful coriander note, was refined with peanut and carrots and also gave a structured overall picture. My accompaniment was very happy with it. The crispy spring rolls cut into pieces allows to rush right into the mouth, while the delicate strips of the beef fillet and the supple rice noodles gave a pretty velvety mouth feeling. A whole bowl full of “umami” had to offer my “Tôm Bún Chblick Giò” (11,50 Euro). Basically it was the same dish, only here the beef fillet strips were replaced by fried shrimps. Both main dishes convinced us overall and we would like to have had a little more in the bowl. Although the portion size at this point should have been somewhat more lush. We felt that this was not particularly bad, we could fill the remaining volume of our stomachs with a fresh aftertaste. Crispy, green clover bells covered huge robes, along with a fresh pomelo salad (13.50 euros) on the recommendation card “Menu Spécial”. Thanks to carrots, fresh mint, limes, chili, ginger and peanuts, the parrot spread in Asian cuisine has been a summer-fresh taste experience. The homemade Nuoc Mam Sauce was the basis for the sweet-saure dressing that harmoniously rounded the plate. When we visited the “Le Cyclo” on Monday afternoon at the end of April, the storm seemed to be flattened on the noon table and we left it so well with fried crevettes (7.50 euros), fried pigs (6.50 euros) from the noon menu and Udon noodles with tofu from the wok (10.50 euros). Also in this lunchtime the simple but extremely tasty Viet kitchens sounded us and gave us a small break from everyday life, which should also be enjoyed under the week. There was a fried egg on my ridge with lemongrass, soy and spring seasoned onions. The rice was under. All in all an uncomplicated but appetizingly prepared dish that is good satisfactory. For the bottle of Selters Classic, proud 5.80 euros were calculated. The saigon beer from the 0.33l bottle beaten to beech with 3.80 euros, just like the Maracuja juice (0.4 l). Beverage prices are already calculated at the upper edge for small town conditions. The fact that the Domstadt Speyer lives mainly from tourism is not only noticeable at its high restaurant density, but also at the sports water prices. Nevertheless, there is no reason to visit the Kaiserstadt more often. And also in the “cyclo” we will surely return to Asia."

"Summer, sun, hunters in the open sky! We're just close to a manned Mars mission. But we return the time for a few months and look at the in many ways wonderful September. The summer went loose beyond August and was not tired to give us his daily supplements even in the so-called "autumn month". Cycling was part of the weekend, like the wheat beer, the permanent or the Mersault, the evaluation of the Weser elite rates. And so it came that a good colleague who, as President of the most famous Schlemmerclub of Wörth, led a bike tour with me to Speyer. It was Saturday, the weather was dreamy and with the Regio Express it went first from the local Steinweiler in the north direction to Maikammer, the starting point for our venture. Thanks to the area on pot level and supported by the light return wind, the historic Domstadt am Rhein can be reached in a pleasantly light cycle. A small tour in the Imperial Cathedral was carried out immediately after arrival. Then it went over the flanier mile towards Altpörtel, well known that there is also the culinary epicentre of the former free city of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. According to a well-known online travel guide, more than 100 gastronomic facilities are to be located in the middle, which is about 50 000 inhabitants and one of the oldest cities in Germany. This is what you can see after a few meters on Maximilian Street, richly populated by tourists, traders and other flaneurs, the legendary “Via Triumphalis”. To save us the slalom through the crowds, we closed our wheels near the Kaiserskathedrale and strolled the rest very comfortably on foot. My colleague had targeted the “To the Old Coin” restaurant, which we had visited with our Wörther Food Association three years ago. But there the entire outdoor area was occupied with friends of bourgeois cuisine. And we didn't want to consider a table in beautiful weather. But in the end we had to take what comes, because we had not reserved in advance. When I look towards St. Georg's well, I hardly dare my eagle eyes. A table had just been released on the much smaller terrace of the Golden Deer. The motto was to act quickly. Shortly afterwards – we could not believe our happiness so well – we were sitting first in front of the façade of the historic inn, where we were presented and staged since 1890. In the meantime, the Hungarian operators are in charge here – just like in the neighbouring “Old Coin”. These seem to do a really good job, you could believe the many very good reviews on Tripadvisor. Almost 200 times the award was awarded on this portal. This has introduced the pole position into the local in the heart of Speyer, even before the Rabennest and the Le Cyclo wine room (Vietnamesian shop, which I already have at GG, Anm. Kastanien, Herbstsalat (with grilled duck breast and deer goulash with pumpkin potato pure) – one dish was more seasonal than the other. A wine recommendation was also made. A dry Sauvignon Blanc from the Mussler winery from Bissersheim, which has to have with its lush Vinothek in the green “filled” summer wine experiences, has been presented openly. Directly next to me, a slate board was hanging with other suggestions for the stable fooder on the wall of the house. The classic peat plate with the black “Trio Rustico” (saumagen, bratwurst and liver dumplings was served here old with Riesling Sauerkraut, roast potatoes and roast sauce. Also with a Cordon Bleu with Bratgemüse, Pommes and side salad was hatched. Although the naval brigade had a lot to do in the guest room – there was a larger society on a long table solemnly possible – but it was by no means overwhelmed with the urge on the fully occupied terrace, but was very present and not cured or annoyed throughout the entire operation. It is nice if the operators find time for a smile or a few nice words despite the hectic of the day business. This works professionally and also takes the look of an adaptable gastronomy, as unfortunately it is found only too often in tourist hotspots. There are certain addresses in Speyerer Maximilianstraße. The Golden Deer is definitely not part of it. First, the acute digestive process had to be interrupted. There was also a cyclist for one of the cyclists. It is a well-stocked tip for small town 4.20 euros. For the same money, my colleague, who recognized him a little comprehensible alcohol immunity, could appear with half a liter of currant. The refreshing thirst quenchers were served flott. The food decision took us a little longer. This was due to the clear but completely sufficient offer of mostly meat-laden dishes of good-bourgeois embossment. For friends of the Argentinian cow, a 300 grams thick lobe steak and oxen caps were offered according to Stroganoff. Porkfilet Filous and Schnitzelschergen were also at cost. There were also many salad variations on the map. The Speyer Flaneures just like it. The openly gifted wines originate mainly from the already mentioned winery Mussler from Bissersheim. In white wines from the bottle it can also be a good drop of basser Jordan from Deidesheim. With a rioja of Ugarte (25 euros), the bottle was also an inexpensive “Exot” (only with reference to the wine selection there). For me as professing “wine godfather” with lots of tinto in the blood, of course an offer I could hardly reject. But unfortunately it had to. Because the home trip was in front of me. Maybe the next visit when the dear woman moves the car home. Oh, yeah, we ate there, of course. We both decided to shape the meat of the friitus. My colleague liked to order the Cordon Bleu from the slate table (15.90 euros), which was prepared according to the menu of the chicken breast fillet. There was nothing written on the table, and the small print from the prescript laminated food fable that he had read. To take it immediately: it remained the only small culinary tasting of our lunch. I had for the “Wiener Art” carving (14.80 euros, carried with a mushroom cream sauce, a manageable amount of frits and a fresh side salad from the kitchen. The colleagues also added pansy and a garlic extract. Pommes and salad were also included in the price for his chicken Cordon Bleu. The crispy leaf green, refined with clean raw food, made the beginning as usual. The housewear did not lack the packaging of acetic acid, which I always like in a salad plate. “There was no mistake!” A dalai lamaesker enjoyment party from Bremen would notice at this point. That's exactly what I saw. After the usual waiting period, which is a bit longer due to feeling hungry, we served the magnificent specimens. My pig carving was very good in his panade. Its delicately curved interior was enclosed by a crispy roasting shell. Between the slightly stuffed “Wiener Haut” there was a well-worn, honest folklore piece that was already addressed to the good fooder from its size. Calories, which I could use well for the leading road to the Rhine. The strikingly bright champignon sauce had obviously received a lot of cream, but it was not itself under the suspicion of the “dead cream”. Apparently, the basis of a strong jus came, where at least no obvious helpers were used. It was tasted harmoniously – the somewhat thirsty expression “round” is probably the maritaleste – and only because of its cream content a hand-resistant casting. However, he did not burn into the long-term culinary memory. The silent piece of luck My table kumpan praised the Mediterranean pan fried on bite. His Knobi Dip came from the spray bag and coughed a chicory leaf in fine portioning. Don't judge a Cordon Bleu from his panade... He only noticed the chicken fauxpas when he was cut. At least the juicy ham cheese saved him the petty-bourgeois mood. The Pommes were a good standard and came to the plate with sufficient salt wort. Yeah, well, chicken breast, who should know? Summa summarum were the two ordinary housewives who put our hunger in the forehead. No sweet Husch Husch kitchen as you like to get it in so many Touri Klause, but a snorkelless cooked, extremely saturating herd performance of the more loving kind. The well humorous Speyer Citizenship has “tripadvisort” the Golden Hirsch first, certainly not astonishing that her dome city still hides quite other gastronomic treasures. But “Clyne”, “AvantGarthe” or “Alte Engel” are also not restaurants on the touristic splendour, but a bit away from the mainstream, home to more ambitious food manufacturers. By the way, I met a few weeks later in the “Old Angel”. But that's a completely different story... maybe I'll tell you."

"They catter for vegetarians, the language was a bit of a barrier but they went over the moon to get us what we wanted. Very friendly staff and amazing vegeterian dishes. Only 3 on the menu. Everything was cooked freshly and tasted great, especially after cycling 100km. Overall a great restaurant, quiet, clean and good food."
