"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"
