"Silence is not cowardly! I have to contradict a well-known German rock singer from the Rhineland. Silence is or better said means liquid gold! And this gold grows in grape form on the vines this and beyond the nearby border to Alsace. Why do I mention that? Well, in 6. Part of my culinary journey through the South Palatinate, it struck me directly at the geographical starting point of the Deutsche Weinstraße to Schweigen Rechtenbach. There are not only the martial Deutsche Weintor (of nineteen-century golf... and the VDP winery Friedrich Becker, which is highly respected at Spätburgunder sympathizers, but also a wine house, which is pleasantly different from the traditional Saumagen bations of deft Pfalz embossing. The talk is about the Jülg winery, which has been happy for over 50 years with honestly prepared, grounded home cooking. There is a winery behind every good wine room. It was Opa Oskar who, at the time, carved the first wines as a vinophilic autodidact. He built them dry against the then sweet wine trend. The Jülg’s drops differed early from the remaining sugar bottlers in the region. Today, the winery Jülg, which is now being run by the sympathetic son Johannes (created to the opening of the year in the current Eichelmann wine guide, is one of the best of the Palatinate. Burgundy Buddies and Pinot preferentiallers have long appreciated this. Under his aegis there are extremely high-class, very terroir-related scenes, which are regularly given by Vinum, Falstaff and Co. with high ratings and awards. Previously, Grandma Erika stood in the kitchen and briet, while daughter Karin took care of the guests, the by far best roast potatoes of the South Palatinate. Unfortunately, she can no longer do this for age reasons, but with the new chef and former star chef Laurent Durst (former restaurant Alte Sonne in Ludwigsburg , his wife Kerstin and another chef from Wissembourg you could even upgrade the culinary offer of the winery. The proven classics from Oma Erika's kitchen are still on the map. They were only expanded by a few creative accents. Alsace meets Pfalz. “Where, if not here?” one would ask. Laurent Durst and his wife Kerstin finally come from the neighboring region. It was due to the great devotion in the beautifully landscaped courtyard and probably the corona-related inconvenience after the reopening in mid-May that the selection of dishes had been carefully reduced in the summer months. The offer, still printed in German and French, consisted of eight different starters and main dishes. Saumagencarpaccio, caramelized goat cheese and grilled shrimps on marinated tomatoes and plucked salad served as delicately sounding dishes for tuning. The holy Palatinate triviality (Bratwurst, Saumagen, Leberknödel , the daily fish with ratatouille and the mandatory Rumpsteak from the Palatinate Rind, on the other hand, gladly took over higher saturation tasks. When we decided on a warm Monday afternoon to return spontaneously as part of an extensive bike tour, the Mediterranean planted courtyard, equipped with shade-giving umbrellas and well-padded garden furniture was already very well filled. In the courtyard friends from the gastronomy had already made it cozy at the neighboring table. There are coincidences! Then we just sat on one of the next tables and communicated with maximum distance. Ms. Karin Jülg led the service. She had the overview at any time and was probably supported by some younger ladies. We were served flott and soon we were able to delete our cyclist sausage with the first bottle of mineral water (3.50 euros). I would have liked to have enjoyed one of the bone-dry white wines from the Jülg’s cellar, but the way back to the secret Steinweiler was before and at the summer heat, if only the Schorle option had come into question at all. With water, however, I stretched such delicious drops extremely rough and so I practiced in sporty wine tasting. Not even the white-burgundy calcareous marrow that I loved so much found the way into the glass. Not to mention the red wine Cuvée “Les Frères”. But silence is not far away and at the next visit we will certainly load a few bottles of Jülg wine into the trunk. On our table there was a nicely to look at, freshly daunting supplement salad (3.50 euros), which my colleague had tasted for his Rumpsteak (18.50 euros). The Rumpsteak The heat and the effort on the wheel initially suppressed a little my feeling of hunger, which only brought me a Strasbourg sausage salad (8.50 euros together with a few roast potatoes (3.50 euros). The Strasbourg DIE Bratkartoffeln This may seem frugal, but in this combination (and at this weather was exactly the right lunch for me. Especially since the frying potatoes greeted as always sensationally crispy and excellently salted from the small porcelain bowl. Thanks to its refreshing vinegar spice, the sausage salad refined with cheese and extra-fine cut onions also kept all the criteria of home-south food. It was certainly one of the best “Straßburgers” I ever had on the plate. My colleague also praised the meat quality of his plum Rumpsteak, which had the typical flat, German cut and was served in the desired cooking degree (medium). The roasting traces on the roasted teas only seasoned with some pepper and salt allowed to close to a preparation in the cast iron pan. We closed our daily pit stop with a coffee and a wonderful abdominal feeling that sent us stronger on the wheels and on the way home. The next visit to the Jülg’s courtyard is already planned. A lukewarm summer evening with delicious home cooking and even better wines should not be in the way."

"Very good food, good service and totally cozy. The whole becomes even more comfortable from a fireplace. The sandstones on the walls also give a sense of cosiness. There are not only hot dishes with appetizer and dessert, but also delicious cakes and delicious cakes. The Weinstube is the perfect destination for a small walk through the Kastanienwald from Bad Bergzabern to Dörrenbach. Opposite the bus stop is to go home after dinner or take a walk through the village."

"a grown-up gourmet restaurant in the midst of a tiny place in the distant pfalz? this goes and how! wonderfully situated and with historical carnival you will find the schlössl in the quiet oberotterbach in the pfalz. a wonderfully furnished hotel/restaurant emfpängt his guests with a high quality kitchen, which is always worth visiting. nothing for pfennigfuchser, because the prices can be juicy, but for edible and those who want it. if you book by phone, you will receive any query and longer stays there are also 7 steps menus without problems. I personally had the most exciting experiences in this class. from the quality of the feeds compensated for the optical, everything was true. pfalz meets haute cuisine. an experience they certainly do not want to be able to enjoy every day they should experience. it is always recommended to reserve in advance!"
