"That was last Friday. I know the country guest house Niermann from a number of room bookings that I have made for Dutch colleagues who had to register overnight in Bad Bentheim/ Gildehaus, just a few hundred meters from our company headquarters. However, so far I have not been able to make a visit. The HP very old baked, until on the HP a typical graphic western-fälische farm kitchen with very many meat dishes visible. We have enough of it in the Rhine and the surrounding area. The Dutch colleagues liked to go to the Niermann farm, because the rooms are very good and modern and the Dutchman is the typical German carving kitchen. He doesn't want culinary heights! In the last booking, however, I experienced a surprise that HP completely rebuilt, very stylish and modern. The menu is fully visible and an additional season ticket. And this season ticket led me to propose a visit to my wife for Friday night. The February season ticket stood under the motto of Sylter weeks and what was shown was a culinary courage in Westenberg, a farmer from Bentheim. Hummer and fish soup, pann fish, sea tongue, skree, fish variations on pasta are not necessarily part of the prelude of the typical visitor of a farm in the county of Bentheim. However, I found this very tempting and so it came that we arrived on Friday night in front of the country guest house Niermann. For the first time I went to the guest room and experienced a very positive surprise. The guest room is very quietly furnished and draws over three rooms, once the counter surface with fireplace and some tables, on the right side a pure guest room and on the left side of the entrance another room, which seems above all to be the breakfast room, and was not covered in our evening. The tables are tidy, I just missed a fabric nap. The ambience is very appealing and you feel comfortable to take the place. We had not reserved, and a bit of luck got a table for 2 people, much was no longer free. The friendly service took us at the reception and led us after greeting at two free tables. Both were small two tables and we took a place. The maps were distributed and I was also surprised by the fixed map. For agritourism, this was a well thought-out map with not too many dishes. In the solid card of course the expected selection of meat dishes, but also there fish dishes and vegetarian alternatives. The desserts were almost extravagant for a farmhouse, but even a chocolate base was offered. Well, a cook that dares. But we came for the fish and wanted to see what the cook wanted to produce from the fish offered with a focus on the North Sea. And because my wife and I almost tickle in culinary terms, it was already clear that it would be an uncomplicated order for the kitchen. Short look into the map, a nap and stood for both of us: clear fish soup (lightly tomatized, with different fish fillets, mussels and fennel and then winter tuvyu (cream with skin fried cod on herbal sauce on potato brandy with capers and olive oil, with salads of the season The season for Skrei comes to an end again and I take every opportunity to eat this in tasteful conditions best of all cod catches. A small wine card is served that cannot make a more demanding wine drinker happy, no dry Riesling is on the map. 5 White and 5 red wines, that was it. Here you can check out the country guest house. It is ordered more by the pilgrims than a wine, and only in such restaurants a sweet basket is ordered for every meal of older dominations (Puh! . We ordered a dry white burgundy from the Palatinate, which was good for the mentioned price of 4.50 EUR for a quarter, plus a large bottle of water. The kitchen welcomes us completely unexpectedly with a potato soup. That was funny, there was apparently a cook in the plant that wants to lift the level of the kitchen. I don't remember being served once in a country house in Bentheim District. The potato soup was just served in fashion, in small wake glass. She was well lubricated, with small bacon pieces. That was a good thing. Then we were looking forward to the soup. And this soup could really convince. The scent of a strong fishbow spread at the table with serving. Someone had prepared a good essence from the fish remains. The boulevard was quite sturdy and easy tomato. With fresh vegetables, especially the fennel, tastefully was very good. There were some mussels and fish fillets from salmon and skrei. That was a fish soup that was much better than I expected from an inn on the plateland of the county of Bentheim. ****! Now we were looking forward to the main course. This was served and enjoyed at first glance! The kitchen not only tries to eat refined cuisine, it also tries to serve as a eye-catcher. That was a pleasure when it was seen, the thumb went up. Skrei was perfectly prepared, fried crispy on the skin side, very slightly grounded, glazed inside! It's not better. The brandade, a Portuguese way of preparing the potato pamphlet coordinated. With capers, coarse sea salt and a very tasteful olive oil, this was very good for fish. Like herbal sauce. The only thing that was not right for the very positive impression was the additional salad of the farm, which could be joined together on the salad counter itself. If you do this, you need to look more often as the salad buffet looks. Otherwise the disappointed guest only sees empty bowls. Fortunately, I belong to the minority of people who like red beds in all variations and can therefore taste a good Red Beete salad. The other bowls were empty, that was a worm drop. The two ladies in service were not from the topic, but with a lot of experience. They could not come out of peace, despite a work in the evening when all the tables were occupied. So much kindness and attention I have missed painfully in some restaurants with higher standards. An espresso closed the dinner and we asked for the bill. The country guest house Niermann called about EUR 70, and that was a pleasant PLV! Conclusion: Very positive surprise! We come back every month, a new season ticket comes and when it fits again, we come back. Absolutely recommended Farm Guest House!"
