Linden Essen & Trinken - Hattingen

New brooms return well, says a proverb. That's not always true. After the departure of Gastwirt Imre Farago, the new operator has failed to connect to the quality of the former house Linden. Despite an insignificant increase in price levels, the kitchen remains significantly behind expectations. The veal carving for 19,90 reminded of press meat with a panade almost fused with the meat, which could no longer be detached from the meat and also tasted very fade. This cleared up the kitchen itself, but calculated the full price and apologised only with the necessary fart and a dessert. The mussels had a broth in which no peppercorn and no vegetables were found and which therefore also remained quite taste-neutral. Unfortunately, you will no longer be able to check whether the other dishes, for example on the daily ticket, are better, because we will only eat here if it has to be. The ambience is new only in subareas, but not necessarily more cozy than before, although the counter has retained its previous image.

We had a table reserved for 2 people and were kindly received. The restaurant is stylish to elegantly decorated. The tables were all covered with wine glasses for water and genuine fabric napkins. The menu was enough of the size. Some daily dishes such as mussels and haxen were on a slate table. The wine map is extensive and really good. The corresponding winery is always called. We chose the oxen bags with vegetables and potatoes. Everyone got an extra sauce with cream. We liked delicate meat and good supplements very much. We tried a Pinot and a Lugano. Both very pleasant. As dessert we had Crème Brûlée and Mousse au chocolat. Actually very tasty only was the Crème Brûlée cold, for that the attached fruits were hot. We really liked it. We'll be back.

The new operator apparently made it right: very good ambience with perfect and friendly staff, traditional and yet innovative, very good kitchen and a totally reasonable price-performance ratio. The menu offers something for every taste. And: The kitchen is flexible and willing to accept changes in the composition of the dishes, if necessary with an additional price, but it is more likely that the change is desired. I had a perfectly roasted carving with very tasty roast potatoes and a successful sauce and was very satisfied. I will certainly not have been here for the last time.

In our opinion, the dishes were optimally prepared and prepared. The connoisseur immediately does not notice any Convenience products, We stayed at Haus Linden with 4 people and sat in the windproof outdoor area. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The service staff made a very well-maintained and professional impression on us. In-house sommelier. You say, "Look at the toilets in a restaurant and you know. Super clean! The ambience inside the house Linden immediately addressed us through his chic.

We have been there several times and have never been disappointed. Solid German cuisine, partly modernly interpreted. Sometimes Mediterranean impact, seasonal changing dishes beside fixed sizes. Ordinary portion size and delicious. Price level is fine. The bread basket for food is clear, but usually a delicious greeting from the kitchen. The house is nix (Schnaps, Kaffee .ä. Now the incomprehensible: for a few months it has been closed on Sundays, just the day that always offered us to go with the whole family in our own district. That's why we haven't been there for so long.
