"After we were not really happy in the afternoon at the “Small Coffee Shop” in Petersdorf, Opi Hartwig wanted to surprise us in the evening with a really good North German specialty. Since he knows that we have been going to Cuxhaven for more than 20 years in winter holidays, and always enjoy the green and pinkish season there, it should be nice to go to Fehmarn this evening too. He chose the venerable “Landhaus Kröger” directly at Burger Marktplatz. Country House Kröger The house was built in 1644 for many years in the former Danish Kingdom, where Fehmarn once belonged, was a country store house before it became a guest house over time. It is even said that the old beams of the house originate from the castle ruins Glambek located on the southern beach. From 1844 to 2018, the inn was in the hands of the Kröger family, since 2019 the house of Mariya Grancharova-Bruhn was run. The history of the Haus Vorm Lokal is a small beer garden, where you can watch the busy drive on the Burger Marktplatz. The local itself is rustic in the interior, the walls are partly covered with wood. Under the windows you will find the old casting heaters. In the restaurant you sit on cozy, wide chairs covered with artificial leather. View to the counter We were greeted by the boss, a short look at her phone was enough for the vaccination status. After she accompanied us to our place, the menu was handed over by the man behind the counter, and at the same time our drinks were asked. We were discussing some time, this was also given to us by talking to one of the neighboring tables. Our easy pitch signaled him that we were finished with the drinks at least. And since we wanted to go to the green coal, our dishes were actually clear. But it should be an extra sweet. So we ordered: Beverages: · 1x 0.4ér Schweppes Tonic Water for 4,20 € · 1x 0.4ér Dithmarscher Pilsener for 3,80 € · 1x 0.4ér King Pilsener for 3,80 € starters: · 1x Piedged Tomato soup with cream hood and baguette for 5,50 € · 1x Fish soup with vegetable stripes, pike and baguette 0.4ér Schweppes Tonic Water 0.4ér Dithmarscher Pilsener 0.4ér King Pilsener Other 4 needed only until the two soups were also served. That's what happened. Either there is a large pot in the kitchen, or the soups are heated in the “ping”. The piquant tomato soup of my wife was really very picant, which is probably the chilis spreader slipped out here, because the tomato soup was relatively sharp. For this it was very thick and creamy, the cream bonnet made the sharpening a bit wet. We are still looking for the baguette today, which as a supplement there were only half a slightly roasted baking rolls. Piedged tomato soup with cream bonnet and baguette for 5,50 € Also my fish soup was very picant, although none of this was to be read in the menu. Here, it was more likely that the pepper shaker tried to hug the pale and fade soup. A few vegetable strips made of carrot and celery should provide some color, a whole 4 pieces of fish were the so-called fish inlay. Here again, instead of baguette, a half-baking bun which, however, was not allowed to take too long on the toaster. Fish soup with vegetable strips, fish inlay and baguette for 5,50 € the so-called fish inlay No 10 minutes after the appetizer was brought to our table, we were just finished with this, were also our main dishes at the table. Well, if this is to be fresh...... Green cabbage with Kassler neck, pork cheek, cabbage sausage and roast potatoes for 17,90 € On the plate were a very thin slice of Kassler neck, a cabbage sausage, two slices of pork cheek, and green cabbage and roast potatoes. The latter do not deserve their name. Speck and onion were sought in vain, the pepper and the salt that were too much in the fish soup were missing here, but they were rather fried with fat. The green cabbage clear finished product from a canned manufacturer, also here there was missing some bacon and the wort for the personal note. We know the cabbage sausage in colour, consistency and taste from the discounters of the aldi brothers. The Kassler was certainly cooked and fried in the in-house kitchen, but why the cook doesn't even cut the slices a centimeter thick was incomprehensible for us. The pork cheek as expected on the edge with some fat, but the meat itself was quite firm and tough, so that ultimately Opi Hartwig and also my wife would throw me a slice of their pork cheek. Senf, which, in my opinion, belonged to such a food, was served only after our request in portion bags. As at home: Papa eats, I don't like this: pork cheek from Opi Hartwig and Frauchen in addition Since our food went quite fast, and therefore it seemed not fresh or cooked, I also observed the neighboring tables. At our table to the right, the guests were not really ready to eat, the glasses were still half-full, they were already asked if they wanted something else, or want to pay because the next guests are waiting outside the door. Pretty acidified they drank, paid and left the place. Do they ever come back? The new guests were asked very quickly with the food requests, and there were no 10 minutes after ordering the carving with pommes on the table. The leaves of the scavenger, as well as the dripping fat, betrayed here, which this time was quickly prepared in the frying. Our conclusion: Opi Hartwig had loaded, and he left €76.50 in Landhaus Kröger. The name promises a lot, the old recessions before 2019 are also full of praise. We were more than disappointed by appetizers and the main food. For us there are better guest roses on Fehmarn, here we'll probably get more. Too bad for such an old, venerable house."
