"General: A good acquaintance wanted on 31.12. 2014 New Year's Eve at a well-known butcher in Hückeswagen [here link] buy some meat and sausage. Since Blumberg had opened this day until 13.00, we went there very quickly. After shopping we both had a little hunger for a little bit. We drove to the nearby old town to get some food, or we hoped that this day a local had opened. The driven Italian had of course closed on this day at noon, but a little bit away, in the restaurant Hofgarten Licht here I began to remember, before approx. 1.5 years in the garden on the Terasse during a motorcycle tour actually eaten quite neat Cevapcici and through the window pane you could also see 4 older people sitting in the restaurant. So we entered the place. This restaurant is operated by a Bosnian family and serves Balkan dishes, steaks and fish dishes. The parking situation in the old town is not always easy. Only 2 cars can park in front of the restaurant. Welcome Ambiente: We were greeted by a younger waitress with a light English accent. We politely asked if the kitchen had opened what was the case fortunately. We were allowed to choose a free table in the right dining room. The left pantry was already covered for Sylverster party in the evening. The right dining room is not so big. The tables are covered with a fabric table cloth, cutlery, flower, candle, salt pepper shaker and beautifully folded fabric servings. Inside very bright, however decorated for my taste with too many decoration pieces. Therefore, 3 stars for the ambience. There are not the usually typical walled arches. The service was very attentive and fleee all the time. She was curiously wondering if everything would be OK, whether it would have tasted, and the beverage delivery worked perfectly. So 4 stars for the lady. Order: The waitress gave us the menus and we already gave up the beverage order. 1 bottle of mineral water for the lady and a Alster 0.3l for me. Here Radeberger Pils and early Kölsch are tapped. The drinks were served quickly and well-tempered. The menu, however, was not the usual one, but it was a holiday ticket for Christmas and New Year's Eve, where only a few major dishes were on it. We asked the service if we could get a big salad for the lady and for me once Cevapcici from the otherwise normal menu we wanted not to eat so much now at noon as it went to a New Year's party in the evening. The waitress went to the kitchen to ask. She came back and told us it wasn't a problem. As a salad, a mixed salad, a mixed with turkey strips or a cutlery with beef strips would be possible. My companion stayed for the salad with beef strip, which later on the bill as a farm garden salad with approx. 10.90 € and the Cevapcici were declared with a similar amount. Food: At first we were served a beef soup with noodles from the house. The soup was very hot, the insert was quite clear and not really tasted. For 2.5 stars. After a pleasant time I got my supplement salad. I had reordered this in a white herb and carrot salad, which was also carried out to my satisfaction. The salad was fresh and tasted me. Shortly afterwards, the two main dishes were served. My Cevapcici plate consisted of well seasoned Cevapcici, but those who were grilled to dry were not a little juicy and in 2 Cevapcici there were still a small bone, so that these two Cevapcici also remained on the plate. Then the other food is not really more fun because I was afraid to meet a bone again at every bite. In addition, there were some onion slices, quite neat fries and the best on my Cevapcici plate, really tasty, tasty, hot, uncooked Djuwet screams, which also deserved the name. The Ayvar was ordered directly from me and the waitress brought quite a small portion of mild Ayvar, which was filled with a large glass. Whether the Ayvar was calculated, I can't say exactly now that I left Sylvester the bill in the restaurant right now it was my time when I hadn't written any restaurant reviews in the meantime and was not yet registered with GG. The biggest manko is coming to the salad. The size was all right. It consisted of various green salads, white herbs, carrots, corn etc. and was also fresh and tasty. The large dilemma were the beef strips, some of which were present. The beef strips were cut off too wide, tough and serene, so they almost all stayed on the plate. That was definitely not a good quality. Thus, despite the very good Djuwet screams, the dishes are rated only with 2 stars. Therefore, the PLV also slips from 3 to 2 stars. After that we had another Julischka. When asked if it tasted, we mentioned the two bones in the Cevapcici and the bad beef strips, whereupon the waitress wanted to pass it on to the kitchen. A drink as a possible compensation was not offered to us. The payment, including a tip, the service can't work to the dishes again very quickly the cash register is handed down here in a small leather folder and we were passed with a happy new year. Conclusion: In summer it can be sitting in the garden outside. The service was very flotted and attentive, but because of the quality of the beef strips and the Cevapcici we will no longer have a follow-up visit."
