"I have always liked the Bootshaus for its views and that you can watch people punt and row on the river. I like the new looks too but I don't think the food has improved much. Starters were "hessische Tapas", with a "Greene Sosse" that was too runny, a fried sausage that only tasted salty and greasy, a "Spundekaes" cheese that was probably bought ready-made and a moderately good "Handkaes mit Musik" (if you like that type of strong cheese). The main was supposed to be a pork meat skewer (meat was nicely cooked) with a creamy mushroom sauce, but there was nothing resembling a creamy sauce. Instead a gravy that tasted suspiciously of glutamate (probably ready-made). The salad was mostly green leaves with a tiny bit of grated carrot and cabbage hidden somewhere underneath. Some dressing, which is always a bonus. My partners main had a very nice dark beer sauce that came with the meat (pork). The "Spaetzle" however that came with both dishes also looked very generic/ ready-made and were supposed to be buttery. Well, they had actually been in the pan way too long and were dried out. Possibly afterwards added a bit of butter, but that really couldn't hide the bad cooking in the first place. So, overall, I am underwhelmed, and if it wasn't for the nice terrace and view, I am not sure I would recommend the Bootshaus at all. Prices are ok, by the way."
All prices are estimates.
Gießen, a vibrant university city in Germany, offers hearty Hessian cuisine like "Handkäse mit Musik" and "Grüne Soße," reflecting its rich cultural mix and educational spirit.
