"... so we thought spontaneously after we had translated the Rhine ferry into Boppard. the hotel bellevue here already in sight! from the ferry the bell tower in the view! on the Rhine promenade is always a lot and with wonderful weather, as on this day, anyway a parking lot with some luck was found quickly and we strolled along the Rhine promenade and scanned the gastronomy. in boppard has remained a little time. many houses radiate a high spirit. this can also be claimed by the hotel bellevue. so is the upper Rhine valley in the picturesque Unesco. in the garden restaurant “Le Jardin”, with direct view of the Rhine, the Hotel le jardin the garden restaurant of the hotel, we have closed our first thirst. attentive friendly service. it was not a problem that we wanted to drink, and then we liked it so well that we asked for a free table at the hotel’s gourmet restaurant “Le Chopin”. this was immediately confirmed by the friendly service. Our walking outfit was not afraid. we had some time and with trekking sandals and short pants we really didn't want to appear for dinner. so the fine birthday patch is comminuted from the box and tested if you are still so articulated that you are moving in the car. Test passed! We were prepared at the hotel at 6:00 p.m. the belly of a young service worker we were welcomed very friendly and were still allowed to choose between different tables. the tables classic fine, covered with reinforced tablecloths and fabric napkins. . very cozy seating, convenient distances between the tables allow the private sphere. here it is again: the noble thief of a great traditional house. I am often glad that not every house is designed dead and if everything is so well maintained, please remain everything it is. the noise is quite wonderful, lots of substance swallows a lot of noise. the restaurant was visited very clearly tonight. the menu (marked in classic French orientation). but also the white carving is not lacking) was completed and first wish was asked. as always: 1 bottle of mineral water, 0.75 l € 6.50 we then rested in the beverage and diner selection. the menu changes every few weeks, so seasonal dishes are in the foreground. for aperitif we chose: 2 glasses winzersekt, 0.1 l € 7,50. a Latin blanc de noir, 2009, bottle fermentation, hand shaken, weingut jochen ratzenberger, bacharach. That's well known, we've already tasted a bit crying and we weren't amazed to have chosen a great cup here. as a guide to eating, we trusted the recommendation: white wine of the month. 2018er Grauburgunder biowein, qba dry, weingut prinz salm, wallhausen. Here too we were very satisfied with the recommendation. very hungry we were not so that despite temptation we do not miss a complete menu. the two-sided menu consisted of 3 menus. all feed can be ordered individually. Some regional sources (fish, meat, cheese) are mentioned in the menu. I decided as an appetizer for the Tatar from the old German buffalo with grater cake, chives and becherei € 17,00. and my husband for one of his favorite hosts: carpaccio from the eifeler kalb with parmegiano reggiano, truffle and curved € 18,00 to the main course we both made the same decision: sautéed jakobsm little later, a young worker on a wonderful wood räucherforellenpralin with caviar. hamachi, fennel, lemon angel. that tasted as wonderful as it looked and exceeded our expectations. warm chocolate outside crispy and juicy inside. The sprout of smoker trout with caviar the excellent with light smoke notes came through very well. a little cream and the caviar added fresh, quite different and even better we liked the offered in the spoon. the raw hamachifilet (a squirrel type) very fine and slightly costed. the acidity of the lemon gel sent to support the fish taste. hamachi, fennel and lemon gel of the fennel also fits very well! The employee took our praised cake to the successful start. a little later we reached a warm potato bread with perfect crust and crumbs. the small pieces of potatoes processed in the dough made the brook nicely juicy. there were two varieties butter with Crème fraîche refined with crumb and lemon. Potato bread and two kinds of butter potato bread we had to be careful not to eat rich. the broth was generous. we expected the appetizers. But no! the kitchen again surprised with a cold (room temperature) celery variation, served in the deep plate with gourmet spoon. gruß: Sellievariation in the middle a piece of baked celery. long baked and therefore slightly aromatic, very creamy and unfolded. with celeryfond. on a celery apfelsalat and a crispy chip with delicate celery branch. that was indispensable to the seller. I love celery, but I know many people who hate him. I think this successful and versatile variation in the textures would probably have convinced the seller critics! continue with our wonderfully dressed appetizers. the hand-cut buffalo tare with fresh crimps and the finest, spicy juicy and well lubricated. tätar framed by the old German buffalo with spices, so that the slightly foamed chalk sauce did not run to roast and meat. Very good! the carpaccio also an eyewitness. carpaccio from the eifeler kalb, but with the many good components the delicate calf, the real protagonist, unfortunately tastefully insidious. We both found this surprising because the pre-off was very purist. overall it was tasteful and yet top. we were not disappointed at the beginning. the portion size was just right for us tonight. sautified jakobsmuschel, lobster kosfoam, venerian rice, green asparagus of black whole-grained rice with perfect cooking (still a little), juicy and with the typical nutty taste. the green asparagus still nice crunchy, the rods for green asparagus quite thick and in very good cubic. now the leading actor as a crown! 4 big Jacobsms with a little cracking up. the jacobsmusks still a little glassy, so they should be, small sauce, which was also very accurate here. in a small porcelain ventilation the fine lobster kokosfoam was added separately, wonderful! so the gasification itself can dose without such a beautiful dish being drowned. the crust animal aroma of the lobster came through very well in the foam. also here worked again with some tupfern citrusgel. a welcome addition to this wonderful dish. What can I say? it became embarrassing for us. because the house couldn't take us to surprise us with three different and beautifully worked competitions four to complete the successful evening. Two chocolate chocolates were served each with roasted buckwheat, cheese and canned nuts. we were really very well saturated and the ride home was not exactly short. Pack the box, knuddeln and wake up in the morning at 17.30. friendly was offered immediately and the candy packed in. in the professional kitten we then had great betthupferl in idar supreme. travel competitions of four competitions came in idar top of the line and quickly overhauled. Why was it embarrassing? The “Le Chopin” has not left any of the high-quality and well thought-out greetings of the kitchen with us, even though we have ordered only before and at the top. This deserves a high consideration and I am also sure: if we had appeared in the (unreasonable) hiking outfit, the professional, well-trained and insurgent service would have looked after us like everyone else and the service team would also have a training that has already done a great job! the kitchen scored with perfect distances between the walks and of course with the food. we thank you for a nice evening. we come back, but with full program and contempt!"
