Löffelbar - Menu

"Only very few people are likely to have a strong, warm soup in general, we begin our first culinary experiences as a baby with liquid food. But a lot of people can also report about grandmothers or mama's stew, which they have fed as a child with a much too large spoon, more or less tack-free, often for their own mouth. This warming feeling is also that the small spoon bar in the Lübecker Hüxstraße attracts its customers. Outside view. The small restaurant announces to the guest with its red awning from a long distance. If you are standing right in front, the glazed front of the wine-red painted house with the name standing in large white letters is only right a eye-catcher for hungry. Something sober presents itself to the interior. Interior view. Colour was not dispensed with with something green. The wood-metal cellar is kept on the simple and unpadded side (which would still be understandable, as the danger of staining in a soup offer is certainly significantly higher and the upholstery would only have a very short half-life. More than stools and simple tables, however, there is no need here, since a soup is often fed quickly and is intended to serve less than a menu for joint meetings. Funny and at the same time me found that the high chairs were so appropriate that at least with me the soup bowl was placed on the table so that the way to the mouth was really short. Perfectly dimensioned to minimize the risk of pliceries. ; The tables were clean and blunt. A funny accessory is the daily newspapers that are suspended on the wall and can be studied during its short soup period. Something “living” in the form of plants or even more cozy lighting would have been missing for a perfectly chubby “suppen atmosphere” for my personal impression. A chubby feeling is of course to give the soups and stews to which the spoonbar has self-explanatoryly specialized. The variety of this food form is of course predestined to allow the offer to be changed weekly and also daily and thus to offer standing soup heads again and again new reason to return. In the week of my visit there were, for example, Masala chickens; pumpkin tubes; Tomato-Käsetortellini and a curry-lens soup with mint on the board, which was already visible outside on the facade and also in the interior. Sweets can complete their meal, e.g., with likewise chubby milk rice. One more word to the service. This is also adapted to the fact that customers usually return here for a quick lunch break or strengthening. It is ordered directly at the counter, where the selected food is also immediately filled and served. At the end, the dishes, sometimes also empty, are stored in a tray holder by the guest. Thus, a service assessment is aimed more at the character of the staff present. This was limited to the owner as a one-man show. With his open-hearted and friendly way, he spread an absolutely inviting mood and was also called “Schnack” for loose and fun small talk (here in northern Germany). A question about satisfaction was, of course, just like the offer to supplement bread. The harmonious country music in the background was perfect for his mind. From the above offer, I decided for the curry-lens soup with mint. At a price of 4.8 € there was an appropriate portion of an estimated 400 ml to which there was free gray bread. Curry tin soup with mint and coriander. In the white soup bowl, a counter-scattered black base served as a retaining basin for flooding events, as well as for depositing the two slices of gray bread, which of course had only a standard quality. However, they were juicy and soft and thus not old-baked, which corresponded to the quality expected for the price for me. I could ask for additional coriander for me. But this extra spice would not have needed it, because the optimally tempered soup kept both the promised (mild curry taste and the ethereal impact of the mint. These were in good proportion, so no aroma dominated. Tastefully really a round thing. For my personal preference, it would have only been possible to have a few crisp lenses for some bite in the otherwise perfect soup for this level. Here the soup was completely spiced. The consistency was as successful as the taste: neither too thin, nor too thick. At the bottom of the line, it remains to be observed that my culinary expectations have been met to almost 100%. The friendly and open-minded nature of the owner also contributed to a happy strengthening. Thus, for my impression, there is actually only the desire to express a little more heat when designing the interior. Clean and in good condition it was all. So after this visit, the spoonbar showed me as an absolutely sensible and recommended part of the city's gastronomy Lübecks."
