"Supplement to my review of 06.11.2014 General With a friend I was on the road with the motorcycle and the small tour led us to the Schaumbergalm at 11:30. Ideal for foot-sick two-wheelers, because while cars have to park below the foam plateau, bikers can drive the remaining 200m with their companion to the top of the plateau. Since my last visit, the beer garden has been completely finished, one has built a covered wooden galley, on which – as the host Danny told me – music bands from the region play up to the guests of the Schaumbergalm every Sunday from 4 p.m. in the summer. There, of course, only literally, burns the hut on the Schaumberg. The Schaumbergalm was as usual well visited. Since a larger group of pensioners were picked up from their bus, we got a nice place on the terrace right in front of the restaurant right on the railing to the slope with magnificent view over the northern Saarland. But surely everyone will find a seat on the Alm, because the beer garden takes up 300 guests, but here you have to use yourself. Eat Since we both had breakfast late, hunger was not so great. My companion chose a small “hearty ham bread” with raw ham from the enticing, good-bourgeois alpine pass, first-class in taste and how spicy rich and lovingly garnished with two slices of hard-cooked egg, cucumber, onions, paprika rings red and yellow, radishe slices and leek rings, cucumber and tomato; all at the price of 4,20€. At Danny's time in Freisen, I have repeatedly ordered a Schnitzelweck, so today my choice for the “small” hunger in between. A freshly baked baguette bread, painted with ketchup and Mayo, salad leaf as a bed for a neat carving, lean, buttery and juicy, with great spicy panade, green slices and onion rings on top. Costs 4,70€, tastes and you get rich. Conclusion: also for the small time of painting or on coffee and cakes it is worth the ride to the Schaumbergalm"

"The restaurant “Römerkastell” lies idyllicly on the edge of the forest and offers its guests a magnificent view of the valley through the exposed altitude, provided that we get a nice table on the window. I recommend booking especially on weekends, because the restaurant was quite well visited for a Thursday. After a renovation in the front area, the bright guest rooms are stylishly trendy, in the next room through the yellow – orange walls and matching table covers rather Mediterranean. You feel comfortable. Service We were serviced by a young very friendly waitress, neat and unmistakable like the rest of the well-played service team dressed with a green polo shirt. She was unobtrusively attentive and fleees all night, always wondering if everything was right. As you wish, it reacts at a glance. The head of the house has a good grip on his team and keeps an overview; he also came to the table several times and let me talk about his restaurant in which he provided me with proof of his competence in the loose specialist lashes about steaks. A well-established service team is experienced in the Römerkastell. In addition to an optimally compiled menu with salads, toasts, fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, there is also a daily recommendation that the boss personally awards. Today there were curry sausages. Yeah, I thought it was a joke and asked twice. Of course, we did not come into question and we ordered a rag steak with pepper sauce to €17.90 and one with herbal butter to €16.80 with pommes and salad with homedressing or Vinegar/oil. As a greeting from the kitchen came a tasty pesto spread with two kinds of bread, which however came a little dry. The Argentinian Rumpsteak, estimated to be 280 to 300gr heavy and about 5cm thick, was of best quality, long-hanged, with great grain and aroma rich. Perfect medium to the point fried it was delicate in the bite, nice juicy and also visually a pleasure through the authentic grill strips. Qualitative and handcrafted barely topping. The pepper sauce, picantly seasoned, well simmered with plenty of wine for a long time, has harmonized well with the meat, but could have been a bit thicker. Supplements: I found the crunchy side salad with the house dressing very well, a fine well-dressed slightly sour cream dressing with fresh herbs. The vinegar/oil dressing of my wife could not score. The Pommes were made themselves, not to be found in frozen foods, or even often in high-quality restaurants. Here too, the buyer made a good choice when choosing the “ideal” potato, they were beautifully crispy outside, soft inside and juicy. For the great kitchen performance I give 5 star companions to the food: 0.75l mineral water at 4.50 €, 0.25l Karlsberg Ur Pils at 1.70€, 0.2l Côtes de Provence „Gilardi“ , les Arcs sur Argens, at 4.00 € Conclusion: handcrafted outstanding kitchen performance combined with friendly service"

"Diese Gaststätte ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp, wenn man nicht weiiß wo sie ist, findet man auch nicht hin. Die Lokalität hat geschätzt 30 Sitzplätze, so dass eine Reservierung angeraten erscheint. Die Karte ist klein aber fein, die Gerichte geschmacklich und vom Preis/Leistungsverhältnis absolut in Ordnung. Ab und an gibt es Sonderaktionen wie Muschelwoche oder Steak-Spezial-Tage."

"A visit to the Hotellerie “Hubertus” has been planned for a long time and has been overdue for as long as the exclusive restaurant has acquired a good name for years and, as you can read in various restaurant guides, has also been preserved. The kitchen is rated 3 tablespoons at the Aral Schlemmeratlas and the Michelin guide also praises the ambitious classical French cuisine of Josef Hubertus. In addition to two restaurants, Hotellerie Hubertus has approx. 20 rooms that can also be booked as an arrangement in the “Pampering Package with 6 Gang – Menu”. Several parking facilities are located directly at the house or approx. 150m further available in public parking. The Hotellerie Hubertus has a choice between two restaurants – according to the homepage with “light, Mediterranean cuisine” in the “Café Palazzo” and “innovative creations” from the French inspired gourmet cuisine in the cross vault. We had reserved a table for 8 p.m. and had to take advantage of the Bistro winter garden “Café Palazzo”, because the gourmet restaurant in the cross vault was closed this Wednesday. We were assured, however, that the menu for cross arches and conservatory was the same. Even though the interior in the gourmet restaurant with fireplace is more elegant, tastefully cozy and more dense, you still feel comfortable at Café Palazzo. The room is flooded, one sits on cozy basket chairs on bright terracotta tiles. Directly adjacent you can take place in beautiful weather on the small terrace of the house, at 10 degrees and rain as today of course not. Service The greeting was a bit bumpy, because we first stood at the reception for a few minutes until the head of the house was out of the kitchen and asked us to take a seat. She also came to the table and picked up a first beverage order. After that we were once again greeted by a young service worker who apologized for our waiting, in the next room a closed company had to be supplied with food and drinks and she was alone this evening. Otherwise, everything went without complaints, flotted, attentive and very friendly. The head of the house, who cooks together with her husband Josef Hubertus, took up the food order and went very competently on our special requests for food intolerances. Kitchen I found the menu well sorted and not too extensive, it ranges from simple dishes such as pork chips or roast potatoes with fried egg over frog legs and gourmet salad “Atlantik” to sophisticated classic French cuisine. We were very quick and chose appetizer 1. Swordfish Carpaccio with damselling and tomato at 12.50€ 2. Vitello tonnato – veal discs, tuna sauce, capers to 14,50€ main course 1. Zander fillet on lentil vegetables with small potatoes at 19,50€ 2. Duck breast with honey Balsamico Jus, vegetables and potatoes at 18,50€ As a greeting from the kitchen, warm freshly baked slices from the baguette were served with a very juicy herbal fresh cheese. Rating We were completely satisfied. For more than 35 years, Josef Hubertus, today assisted by his wife, proves that he understands his craft. His culinary creations convinced us. Quality and freshness of the ingredients were perfect, all dishes were perfect and creatively prepared and presented appealing. In detail, I save myself largely – the two appetizers – it was my first swordfish carpaccio – were a creative palate mouse. The duck breast, fried on the skin, perfect to the point, nicely tender in the bite, was a wonderfully aromatic meat enjoyment. The tasty rosemary spices, vegetables, leaf spinach, cauliflowers, cabbage rabies and carrots in thin slices, discreetly seasoned and cooked until fast, and in particular the dark beautifully thickened sauce, which harmonized with its excellent sweet – sour honey balsamico interplay perfectly with the ducks, could score points. Just as perfect was the absolutely trench-free zander fillet with beautiful crust and fine-aromatic white meat, to which there was a special supplement – the cook offered it when ordering – there was still a wreath of mussels as an extra. Here too, supplements and sauces have boiled. As a companion to dinner we had a large bottle of water (6 € and once the Fortant Merlot Rosé (0,1l to 3,50 € and a Rosé de l 'Ardeche (0,1l to 4 €), both light, tasty, fruity and well-tempered. Conclusion: ambitious, creative, upscale, but not upscale, Mediterranean and French inspired gourmet cuisine. 100% recommended"
