"The vineyard was already positive in the previous year when we visited Durbach. The hotel is surrounded by a large plot, just like a park described. Good 2 weeks before our visit at the end of October I reserved by phone. A very friendly contact, so you have a good feeling. After the sunny day this evening the sky above the Orteau gave everything Durbach's dramatic sky and the vine was on our arrival in particularly beautiful light. Immediately after entering the house we were kindly received, the vaccination certificates were sighted, our wardrobe was removed and accompanied in the restaurant to our reserved table. Nice! That was my first thought of the event and arrival. And here we got time. Very pleasant to the eve. Surprisingly spacious the restaurant, wonderfully divided. Pleasant privacy to the neighboring tables. Probably it wasn't different from the sad pandemic. The whole room pulled us into the spell with its very noble farmhouse. Especially the elaborate woodwork fascinated my husband, carpenter son, very much. Stylish Everything was simply harmonious and thoughtful. Carpet, curtains, reinforced table linen. Certainly, the noise level was never unpleasant or disturbing tonight. Even after almost every table was occupied. There were also some cuckoo clocks in the room in the evening. Present the absolutely pleasant and accommodating service. First we ordered 1 bottle of mineral water, 0.75 l – proud 7.20 €. One second followed. Unfortunately. Because such water prices will always be a thorn in my eye. There we pay for ordinary wine making, 2 glasses Durbacher Rieslingsekt, for each 0.1 l € 7.90. We were kindly supplied with these drinks. Schmalz, herbal butter, olive chefs and two fresh breads were served. Fresh bread It was easy to drink. At the beginning and main meal my husband chose from the regular menu. I liked the offered 3 or 4 gear menu well and I chose 3 gears to appeal 44.00 €. Optically convinced the appetizers of fried mussels Gambas – stone mushroom Risotto – pumpkin – lobster poma, € 19,00. Tasteful too. Climbing mussels Gambas – mushroom Risotto – pumpkin – lobster puma The seafood was perfectly fried. In addition to the announced pumpkin, crisp broccoli and melted cocktail tomates brought color to the plate. The Risotto was much better than the restaurant of the day before and cheese was dispensed with. The mushroom aroma should have been more accurate. The lobster puma had fallen a bit together, tasteful but beautifully aromatic. A very fine appetizer. A bit clearer my appetizer from the menu, simply announced as Charantaismelone Garnele. Charantaisma Shrimp The sugar melon brought summery aromas on the plate in different textures. Surprising the presentation of shrimps as crispy sushi maki and crispy eggs. A very well-tuned and appealing appetizer. The waiting time for our most important foods was perfect. For this purpose my husband ordered a dry pig, € 0.25 l, 8.60. And I am Cuvée Red (Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir), 0.25 l € 9.20. The main dish of my husband: roasted navy medallions with aromatic herbs – Ratatouillegemüse – Stone mushroom Risotto fine noodles € 36,00. The Risotto could easily be exchanged in noodles. Variety instead of two consecutive stone mushroom Risotto. Seed tulip – ratatouille – noodles The sea mandrel is perfectly prepared. Two juicy drinks on the spicy Ratatouillegemüse. Very nice for that, the piquant roasted Pimentos. Pasta al dente. Man very happy. This is my main course. Rehschnitzel from the Keule – Spätburgunderjus – Pfifferlinge – Apfelrotkraut – Haselnussspätzle. Rehschnitzel – Spätburgunderjus – Pfifferlinge – apple red spice – hazelnut spice The Scavenger is not panic, but fried beautiful roast stars. Inside still pink – it must be so! Rosa Reh A beautiful part of the pipes was partly covered by the roe. The sauce was well lubricated and probably slightly refined with cream. My performance of the Spätburgunderjus was different. Dark, unbound, with more burgundy aroma. But there was nothing to bring out. And the wonderful hazelnut shoots almost stole the show. The servicemen were really great. According to the document especially on our table Sandra May. Service as we love him. Friendly, simple and attentive. And so light-footed! If Ms. May reads this post: Thank you for the sandals. They were ordered immediately, are really as comfortable as they worked and are waiting for their use at warmer temperatures! We were both very saturated. The dessert of my menu was still outside. Delice from Durbacher Zwetschgen – White chocolate ice cream was served with double cutlery. And I was grateful for my husband's support. All meals were very appealing. “Our” Dessert finished this episode. Delice from Durbacher Zwetschgen – White chocolate ice cream I will have the fine fruits for me. The white chocolate ice cream was wonderfully tender and waits for tasty. The tortured charity with Durbacher Zwetschge was certainly successful, but too sweet. What my constant companions here at GastroGuide are not surprised. My husband liked the sweet challenge. An evening as we wanted. We intend to travel back to Orteau. Perfect for an extended weekend. And then we will gladly book again in the vineyard. In summer. Enjoy the beautiful garden area. With the super comfortable sandals."
