"Everyone mourned to the old town forest house in Mettmann when it had to sneak after a long tradition. There were various rumors and stories about the reasons. Then the bureaucracy made problems and so the beautiful house was in Sleeping Beauty for years. On 14 June 2017 the Stadtwaldhaus was reopened as a restaurant, café with a great beer garden after four years of interruption. And it has become beautiful. Completely renovated. Interior beautiful wooden tables and a pleasant environment. It's Friday and we've reserved. That's good, because with time the place felt like watching. The service was very fast, maybe a little too fast, because we hardly had any place we were asked for the drinks. We suggested that we have time and want to enjoy the evening in peace without hectic, then everything was OK. The map is clear and offers something for every taste. So we chose the stone mushroom Consommé with spring onions (EUR 5,90) and the Cocos Curry soup with chicken strips also to EUR 5,90. Both soups convinced. The curry soup was delicious and had a good touch of pepper next to the curry. The deposits were sufficient. Cocos Curry Soup The main foods were, except for the Scampi prunes (EUR 13,90), also known as well. Our nice East Friese who accompanied us were the Scampi too easy, there is no freshness naja, he comes from the sea... Otherwise, the original Wiener Schnitzel with the lukewarm cucumbers of potato salad (EUR 17,90), the Saltimbocca a la Romana with thyme twistingen and salad (EUR 18,90) and the Argentinian rump steak with a pepper cream sauce and salad (EUR 19,90) were very solid. Nothing great, good and solid. Rumpsteak The wine card is small, but here you will find something suitable. We chose a Crianza from the Rioja area the bottle to EUR 19,50. A fair price in a restaurant. Overall we liked the new Stadtwaldhaus."
