"In 2015, I had written a contribution to Don Pepe, shortly after the opening, when there were still some start-up difficulties that have been solved for a long time. Many times I have visited this restaurant in the last four years and it is now really time to finally get my overall very positive experiences on paper. Anyone who likes department stores will like to eat in this ambience, because typical Spanish is certainly not. The restaurant in a late Gothic civic house (1519/1520 is very central to the Kath. Church at the Neustadtmarktplatz. The guest expects a healthy ambience in mostly black and white. The exposed high wooden beams are in black striking, leading from the floor to the ceiling on the first floor. The restaurant has two levels, on the ground floor is the counter, a small free space on the left side (also suitable for smaller groups and several table groups on the right side. A staircase in the middle of the room leads to the open 1st floor, in which the tables are grouped as in a gallery along a railing. Thank you for some favors and help, a friend here invited me for lunch. We were kindly received and led to our reserved table. The menus and tapas were served quickly, as well as the immediately ordered soft wheat (3.60 € from the local brewery came well at our table tempered. The service is very friendly, well checked and works fast, but not always error-free (no trained professionals). Some misunderstandings are probably due to inadequate German skills. Against or for the first hunger is served here as a greeting from the kitchen Pan con Ali-Oli, a homemade garlic canonnaise with fresh, crispy ciabatta or baguette discs. This aioli is so light, so creamy, with the exact correct amount of garlic, easy to kneel! As an appetizer we shared a part of Pimientos Padron (4,80 €), the small Bratpaprikaschotes, originally from the Galician village of Padrón, with coarse Fleur de Sal, mild and fruity, without sharp pepper, a very good start. My companion had already pre-ordered a Paella Mixto with meat and fish at a table reservation. However, there are only 2 persons (28 €). Don't do that, the rest would provide for two more food at home. We served the mixed side salad in front of the main dish with iceberg, Lolo Rosso, a cocktail tomato and a thick cucumber disc. The salad blends with a well chopped honey mustard dress. Rucola, herbs, but not too bitter, is insulated with a dark balsamico that is well harmonized with the balsamico. And then the Paella pan came: with heart and mussels, a few in shells and also without, two whole gambs in the shell and several smaller without, chicken breast fillet, Calamares rings and many pieces from Calamares cups, as vegetable bass and paprika strips, beautifully crispy. The rice is even, but not too soft, but nice grainy. Meat or fish are beautifully delicate and all the fragrances are pleasant for spices and the aromas of various ingredients. My companion likes me personally, the rice was too salty. For me there were Calamares Plancha with mixed salad and potato fruits (14.90 €). The plate looked good, a pleasant garlic fragrance rose into my nose. In both pipes the tip end was a little firmer but still good to chew, but the majority was tender, with very light lemon flavor and much slightly roasted coblue slices, also a bit in the aioli, really good! The frits perfect, but I just ate some of them as I wanted to enjoy as dessert my Spanish favorite dessert: Crema Catalana (4.50 € The homemade vanilla cream with warm caramel crust and is just as she should be inside soft and creamy, easy to taste for vanilla and lemon and not too sweet, top good cuddies. Often eaten here and always good! As a conclusion a hot, aromatic espresso for 2.00 € The following tapas I have eaten here several times and again very liked! Gambas al ajillo (10,80 €) My absolute favourite tapa: Yarns cooked in olive oil with garlic, pikantly, I enjoyed several times here. In the Cazuela, the typical Spanish tone shell, the Gambas perfectly boiled, the garlic oil hot and spicy, I don't need a chili shake in it. Boquerones a la vinagreta (4,90 € I love these anchovy fillets marinated in vinegar and garlic olive oil, with a lot of perejíl as I have often eaten them in Spain. Solid meat, well pulled in the ÖL vinegar vinegar, nicely sour with plenty of garlic taste. Decorated with two green and two black colored olives and a lemon carving. I always like to eat this boquerone. Boquerones fritos (5,80 € fried anchovies also belong to my favorite tapas. Well baked, hot and crispy came the about fifteen former navals, without being dry. With lemon juice, the rest of Aioli, a poem! Pulpo a la gallego (10,50 €) This well-known preparation of the octopus can be found practically in all Spanish tapasbars. The octopode, cooked in a relatively complicated way and then cut small, is buttery, sprinkled with sweet pepper powder, the Spanish Pimentón, and a good olive oil, and served lukewarm on slices of boiled potatoes. Enjoy! Salpicón de marisco (4,50 €) A seafood salad, predominantly made from pulp cubes and two gambes, placed in spicy garlic oil, with pepper, tomato pieces, glazed onions and parsley. I tasted very good, but here I want a greater variation of seafood. Patatas bravas (3,50 € potato corner with the homemade aioli and the spicy spicy salsa Brava, which is not visible on the photo. A simple dish, simple and packing potatoes in egg, well seasoned and juicy and in combination with the two sauces extremely tasty. Costillas de cerdo 4,50 € Pig Rib type of house, the ribbing cooked and then briefly grilled, the meat is appealingly seasoned and taste really good with the overcrowded Salsa Brava, but could be a bit tenderer. Empanadillas con atún 4,80 €, dough pockets filled with tuna were the two dough pockets quite large and perhaps a bit too long or too hot baked because the dough was hardly to cut, especially not the edge and overall very dry. The filling tasted clearly on tuna, but I could not recognize or taste other ingredients, as there was too little filling for my taste. Once eaten, but I won't order anymore. Short conclusion: At any time like again! There is a lot to try!"
