"Despite the mania for inventiveness that overtaxes our era, a place remains for a restaurant that can deliver competently conservative high cuisine. That conservative taste seems to be the focus of Bullerkotte, which draws together many of the characteristics of the current farmtotable movement without...explicitly identifying or boasting about them. Bullerkotte might be described as a dignified monument to the first wave of German cuisine: to the earliest attempts to create a fine cuisine based on German products and traditions. On one hand, the menu and the venue have aspirations. Written in a curious idiom in which German and French cooking idioms merge and intertwine, the menu celebrates favorite German proteins such as duck, ox, chicken, and, of course, sausage, including blood sausage. Overall, the dishes could be described as somewhat meaty. An oxen filet, for example, arrived somewhat mysteriously topped by a whole, intheshell prawn, as if a freak tidal wave had unexpectedly swept seafood into the butcher's shop. This kind of multistory layering of diverse meats reached its acme in the it still produces the same unfortunate result, to wit, an initial sense of amazement followed by a feeling that a dish is somewhat overloaded. Many of the chef's inventions evidence a high level of creativity. For example, dinner opens with a marvelously memorable cucumber spread that, in lieu of butter, imparts a laudable vegetable as well as herbal taste to perfectly rendered baguette slices. The blood sausage appetizer features a stuffing of the aforementioned protein pudding artfully rolled in puff pastry and accompanied by a microgreens salad, all to uplifting effect. Equally creative albeit somewhat less successful is the duck breast and spaghettini combination, in which three perfectly rendered and exquisitely seasoned duck slices avalanche their way down a vortex of pasta, all alongside a tangy cheese tuile. Probably it would have been more effective to integrate the duck and the pasta more effectivelyperhaps by creating a duckstuffed raviolibut the merit of the taste could not be disputed. As previously mentioned, main courses at Bullerkotte seem, to modern tastes, somewhat outofbalance, with great weight given to the protein and somewhat perfunctory attention going to the accompaniments. Both the oxen steak and the local chicken appeared atop an eddy of mixed vegetables in a dark brown sauce that savored a little too much of soy sauce or similar seasoning. Although the vegetables themselves were spoton and perfectly poached, they added nothing memorable to the overall composition. The chicken main course had been identified as a tandoori recipe, but its mildness and wholeheartedly European flavor profile conjured no thought of India while the aforementioned soyflavored sauce led diners to wonder whether south and north Asia had been confused. Bullerkotte offers a lovely setting in the farmlands outside of the industrial Ruhr Valley. The restaurant occupies what appears to be a former farmhouse. Interior decor is, again, straight out of the elegant All is tasteful, all is deluxebut also all is beige. A full house creates a cheerful ambience, although the clientele might be characterized as rugged rural gentry rather than as city slickers. Bullerkotte makes for a pleasant country evening. It would be wonderful to see the chef turn some of his admirable talents to a bit of updating of both menu and envrionment, but, in general, the Bullerkotte experience is a pleasant one"

It was a poem. The food is a palate. The service is top. Very nice and accommodating. We were more than satisfied. We were there for the first time, but certainly not for the last time. I can only recommend.
Marcus
We enjoyed the menu carousel. It was excellent, well-known dishes (e.g. tasty pork bags) are reinterpreted and modern. The service staff only two friendly ladies makes a super job: attentive, friendly and fast.
Alena
The restaurant Bullerkotten really does something from the ambience! You have the feeling of being in an upscale restaurant. And I admit... with all the glasses and cutlery I was a little overwhelmed at the beginning
Wilbert
We were there for the first time with friends on the menu carousel and we were totally thrilled: the food, the wines fantastic, the service top. We felt very welcome from the beginning to the end and like to come back!
Edward
The restaurant Bullerkotte is highly recommended, the creations can certainly compete with some star restaurant in the area. The dishes taste excellent, are varied and are nicely dressed. The ladies in the service are always friendly, attentive and courteous, although the restaurant is very well visited.

In advance we reserved a table and asked if we could bring our dog. This was chased and so our dog was also allowed to enjoy the great ambience. If a restaurant is able to place a water bowl for the four-legged guest unrequired and already before arrival at the place, the restaurant has already won before the food could be consumed. The restaurant alone deserves 5 stars. To the courts: Ochsenbacken,Lammrücken und Rinderfilet were ordered. It was a pure palate experience! Here you can see that the kitchen not only understands the arts of the profession, but also lives! Grandios and a big compliment! The service was also very friendly, accommodating and fulfilled every extra request! All in al...

We were with 5 adults and a school kid at the Bullerkotte restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully located. It is cozy small and very beautiful. The food was fabulous we were all thrilled. There was not a children's card or the like, but the small spaghetti was prepared on our requests. The plates were also really very well dressed the chefs really understand their craft!!! Two ladies were in service. A younger, this was flash, very open-minded, accommodating and friendly. We were served by a somewhat older service, this was unfortunately annoyed or overwhelmed, or she just had a bad day. (here a star trigger) But despite our service, we were so impressed by the tasty food and the ambience...
