"Paul in Sitzerath has been for good food for generations. Whole hosts of now grown-up contemporaries once pilgered into the small village high up in the district of St. Wendel in the municipality of Nonnweiler. At that time, the mother of today's operator Thomas Nickels was still in the kitchen and made the village guesthouse an El Dorado for Schnitzel and Salatfans. There are more than twenty years between this description and my last visit. One thing has remained: the love of well-made products and their refinement to grandiose dishes. Today, however, the ingredients come either from one of the house gardens distributed throughout the village, which were saved from their excavation at the initiative of the organic top cook Sigrune Essenpreis (the name is program! years ago, familiar and also produce forgotten vegetables and fruit varieties, or from organic farms mainly from the vicinity. Not only did the operators, Thomas Nickels and his wife Sigrune Essenpreis, write on their flags. What is offered on the menu of the restaurant at the time and today as numerous regular guests is so well off the other gastronomic offer in an entire region. Or where else is there a whole artichoke with raspberry vinegar red onion Vinaigrette and a salad made from three kinds of white beans? Even the fork spaghetti with grilled yellow green zucchini and Patissons, dried tomatoes, limonen capers olive oil served with a pickled salmon trout you would otherwise look forgiven or as at our last visit try a tomato essence (the term soup would also not only know the intensity of this dish to describe nutritional consciousness, which gives the guest a happy smile in the face of food. The message is as simple as clear: good food needs good and honestly produced basic products, knowledge about their effect and a preparation that focuses on the product and highlights its uniqueness. The menu in the agriturismo Paul is a single statement against the spirit of time, against Burgerwahn and an already strangely graceful culinary unification that always drives new stilblooms. The concept, which with its uncompromising handwriting, attracts more and more guests (former rest days of the restaurant could be withdrawn due to increased demand, reads as a reflection on long forgotten virtues. The Sauerbraten, which was also fed into our last visit for 14 days and prepared in the stone oven, awakens childhood memories, the attached dumplings and the apple Rotkraut are so profanely divine that you are seriously wondering why you have to go to a restaurant to enjoy this kind of thing? Perhaps it is this longing, in a time when no one can take so much time for himself and his soul-healing really time, perhaps it is what makes up the success of the agriturismo Paul. And maybe the guests take it off to their hosts! That they bake their bread themselves, put their vinegars on their own, cultivate vegetables and lettuce if somehow possible in the house gardens seateraths themselves, all these are not coincidences, but expression of a consistent attitude! The fact that the effort is not to have at the bargain price does not hurt me in any way. For the Sauerbraten a proper portion are raised 22,50 and the tomato essence is rewarded with 10, Euro. The cauliflower flan with hazelnut crown of my accompaniment, served in this variant with marinated sour beans and radish fruits beats with 13.50 euros to beech, the Hohenloher lamb with spiceCousCous and mangold vegetables, a truly grandiose combination can be tasted the hosts 27.50 euros."
