"Valentine's Day, it's supposed to be the day of the loved ones, and it's all told that it's a bullshit from the USA. I find this day in person, because you should honor your loved ones not only on a day, but throughout the year. And flowers only get my wife twice a year from me. For wedding day and birthday. I hope the rise in the GG-households is now within limits, because we spend the money for flowers rather than a beautiful evening in the restaurant or a cultural institution. So why can't Valentine's Day come from the USA? The custom of this day goes back to the feast of Saint Valentinus, a martyr in whose hagiography may have merged the vitae of several martyrs of this name. St. Valentine's Day on 14. February was introduced by Pope Gelasius in 496 for the whole church. And as we know, Christoph Kolumbus only discovered on 12. October 1492 the American continent. Why can't Valentine's Day come from the USA? Quite simply, my U.S. CEO had to make an online team meeting with colleagues from Germany and USA until 8:00. The enthusiasm for this on the part of the great pond was clearly limited. Since we don't give up on this day, but at least look for a gastronomic facility, I tried to get a place in Dresden for a few days in advance in the vicinity of my office. Unfortunately, all gastronomy was fully booked in the entire city centre, but we could try “good luck” to see if at this late time there might be places left. That was too risky. So I tried to catch the Gastros from the office towards Elbepark. In this direction, astonishingly many guest pinks make their gravel dense already at 9 p.m., and therefore, after 8 p.m., did not want to accommodate any guests. Spitwegrich-Das Landhaus Fündig I finally became in the „Spitzwegerich-Das Landhaus“ near the famous ball house Watzke. There was no problem here to host guests at this time, because the staff is still busy after the official closing time. What an attitude for the customer. So my girls picked me up at the office on Valentine's Eve, and as we had tasted faster, we were in the inn at 8:00. The Landhaus Spitzwegerich is located directly on the Elberadweg, in summer you have a beautiful view of the Elbe. Beer garden in the middle of town, but still quiet. The quiet location is also reflected in the parking situation on site, because here it is extremely difficult to get rid of the mobile base. The Spitwegrich is housed in a corner building, you enter the restaurant via the beer garden. Opposite the entrance is the counter, and we were immediately woken to control the current vaccination status. After everything was fine, we had the way to the neighboring room, where our table was the only free in the whole place. On rustic tables and chairs, which were padded with seat cushions, you sit quite comfortably. The walls almost already overload with all kinds of pictures and decorations, between the tables the famous corona walls. Guest room Two ladies slept the service in the restaurant, one of the two was responsible for this evening. The guests were addressed with “du”, the correspondence between guest and service should be culinary. It didn't matter to us, but I'm sure it doesn't matter to everyone. The menus in the single-laminated A3 format were handed over to us, we were first discussing some time to pick up the drinks. Menu We were very fast and so we ordered as drinks: · 2x 0.4ér KiBa Cherry banana juice) the winery Oese for each 3,70 € · 1x 0.2ér glass Meißner Landwein „Bennoschoppen“ des Weingut Meißen for 4,10 € · 1x 0.5ér Feldschlößchen Rubin for 4,00 € Until the drinks came we had the time card to study. When the drinks were brought to us after just eight minutes, we were finished with the selection of dishes. As an appetizer we ordered: · 1x Clear garlic soup with vegetable strips for 4,10 € · 1x Baked sheep cheese with olive oil, tomatoes and onion rings, plus baguette for 7,80 € · 1x Grilled garlic bread with two sauces and herbal dip for 4,50 € As main dishes we wished: · 1x Salmon Before the two girls could take their KiBa, they had to stir it vigorously. Here you have either stored the juice too cold, or when opening the bottle you forget to shake the flesh. Too bad, because normally the banana juice always settles off the cherry juice, you can also see if the barman knows. Well, in the belly everything comes together. KiBa Cherry banana juice) slightly fluffy We found that wines of the winery Meissen are served here. My wife already knew the “Bennoschoppen”, this is a fruity, lighter and very aromatic wine. Thanks to its pleasant rests in it pleasant companion for light dishes or a cozy TV evening. Rubin is the newest achievement of the Dresdner Feldschlößchenbrauerei, and is produced only for gastronomy. This beer is a full-bodied taste experience, complemented by a nutty, strong aroma and a light caramel note. KiBa Kirsch-Banane-Saft) of the winery Oese, Meißner Landwein „Bennoschoppen“ des Weingut Meißen, Feldschlößchen Rubin Knappe 20 minutes we had to wait for our appetizers and were half nine in our place. The clear garlic soup immediately broke through a strong garlic odor, and fat eyes on the broth. Clear garlic soup with vegetable strips In a steaming hot terrine, a clear broth was served here, which consisted of carrot and celery with plenty of vegetable strips. Many small pieces of garlic float in this tasty soup. A dream, and alien kissing was over for today. To the soup, there were two little bags of baguette.Clear garlic soup with vegetable strips The baked sheep cheese didn't have to hide either. A large, creamy sheep's cheese was hidden under a thick bed of fresh tomatoes, olives, fresh onion rings and pesto. The sheep cheese very spicy and with the typical mowing taste. On top the whole was garnished with small leek rings. Here also two slices of fresh baguette. Baked sheep cheese with olive oil, tomatoes and onion rings, with baguette As we had it once with garlic, my wife wished the grilled garlic bread. These were two thick, fluffy slices of a bright dough, which was baked with plenty, no with even more garlic. The whole crispy dark, so it was good. The dosed sauce we wouldn't be titled as aivar now, I think so many GG-lers would jump through the monitor. It was a slightly sharp, creamy sauce. The herbal sauce much at garlic bread could not be quite in weight, here it could have been a garlic sauce. The two breads have divided my three girls, not just because of kissing strange, no the portion was so big, there was no need for a main dish. Grilled garlic bread with two kinds of sauce-aivar and herbal dip Twenty minutes after the starter, i.e. shortly before nine, and actually already closing time, our main dishes were brought to us by the two service ladies. As the next days go to Cuxhaven, my wife, with the salmon run with band noodles and Rahmspinat, wanted to invite the maritime. Band noodles and spinach were well layered in a large run-up form, plenty of salmon was also present. The whole thing baked with a thick layer of cheese should not be wrong. But somehow my wife's food was very salty, whether the spinach, the noodles or the salmon can't be said. But since my wife is very sensitive, half of it remained. As a hint to the operation, only the statement came: the cook probably took Valentine's Day too literally. In the end, my wife did not go so well this evening, but in her many allergens we cannot say whether it was any additives, or yet salt. Salmon run with band noodles and cream spinach The little one had decided quite classically for the carving with fresh vegetables. Croquettes. There should be nothing wrong. The carving was dark fried, in the inner but still pleasantly soft. 180gr carving with fresh vegetables, as a supplement croquettes The 180 gram version was completely enough. We didn't expect the croquettes of TK goods. However, the “fresh” vegetables finally also dept as a TK-good, which one gets in the supermarket as an “emperous vegetables”. It should be explained differently. Unfortunately, the vegetables were desalinated here too, so the cook was already in the evening with his favorites. The supplement of herb salad, acidic cucumber, corn and carrot rasp was then also classic convenience. 180gr Schnitzel with fresh vegetables, as a supplement croquettes Very different the Schlemmerschnitzel of unsrer Großen. The Schnitzel also here in the 180gr variant, was covered with thin and spicy smoked slices of Bacon and fresh tomatoes, all then baked with a thick layer of cheese. The scavenger also here fried, in the inner pleasantly soft. Here, too, croquettes from TK holding as well as the supplemental salad from Krautsalat, acidic cucumber, corn and carrots. 180gr Slinger with bacon and tomatoes, baked with cheese, as a supplement croquettes I've wished for a long time again a scavenger after Gypsies. Can you even call that? No matter, my reference gypsy carving there is the village pub with us, and there's a lot of trouble coming. The trumpet did not do that. The Schnitzel also here in the 180 gr instead of 300 gr variant, pleasantly chess fried and also inside soft, not dry. There was a gypsy sauce that consisted of a kind of letcho, i.e. exclusively of red and green paprika. I personally lacked the sharpness/short of Hungarian or Gypsies. In our village pub, small, fried hunting sausage and salami strips are also processed, this gives an extra spicy sauce. All right, but original is only with Letscho. To my scavenger, there were fried fries. Here, however, I lacked the salt which was on top of the other two foods. In the end, the obligatory supplemental salad from Krautsalat, acidic cucumber, corn and carrots. 180gr Schnitzel after Zigeunerart, as a supplement Pommes Frites As you know my girls, there had to be something sweet, and so they had already ordered their dessert when ordering. They wished how it should be different: · 1x apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and cream bonnet for 4.50 € Despite later hours, the country house has already closed, then the apple strudel came to my girls at 21:15. The three divided the portion and thus had at least the salty taste behind them. Applestrudel with vanilla ice cream and cream bonnet At 9:30 we paid and left the place. The team had an evening. Our conclusion: we left €98.80 in the „Spitzwegerich-Das Landhaus“ (The Country House) . Many years ago at RK-Zeiten) we were already here with friends, then we were fully satisfied. Today, our experience, at least with the food, was more likely to grow through. A friendly team, even after the evening no problem yet to use. Only the cook should leave his great love at home, maybe there is a full score when eating. Mmmh, and for the next Valentine's Day, do you prefer flowers instead of gastro? See you next time."
