Merzenmuhle - Langen

The restaurant is located in an old mill and is surrounded by a beautiful forest. We had a nice evening here while we received some tasty food. We’ve ordered beef and salmon . At the end we received from the house austrian pancakes. Forgot to mention the strawberry sorbet.

Last Saturday were invited by a befriended couple. When we came in, the staff immediately took our jackets and welcomed us to the restaurant. In general, the service was excellent, very kind, attentive and warm-hearted. We ate beef filets there, which were perfectly cooked. We especially enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the superb service. We would highly recommend this restaurant and are even planning to celebrate my birthday at this lovely location next summer. Hopefully the service will continue to be that excellent.

This restaurant is located a few kilometers outside of Langen in an old mill. The location is within an hour of the Frankfurt airport. We stopped on our way to the airport prior to checking into the Steigenberger airport Hotel for our last night. We were traveling by car from France and the restaurant is near exit 20 (Offenthaler Landstrasse) on the Autobahn A661 near Langen, Germany. The restaurant opens at 6:00 pm. We were about 30 minutes early and they happily seated us and served drinks, until the kitchen opened about 30 minutes later. The menu changes frequently and they offer a la carte and multi course options. A three course meal without drinks is about Euro 50. The ingredients include fresh local produce, meats and fresh fish. The garlic soup, goose liver pate, duck breast and tafelspitz were all excellent.The preparation, taste and presentation rivals many gourmet restaurants in Vienna. There is a more casual Austrian style restaurant (Scheuer) next door,with a beer garden, that also serves Vienna Heurigen wine and Hessian apple wine along with more traditional German food, like Schnitzel. We did not try it, but it appeared quite popular.

Drei Haupterrichte nicht verfügbar, eineinhalb Stunden auf das Essen gewartet.20 Personen haben ihr Essen schon bekommen, obwohl sie viel später kamen, unser Tisch war bestellt, auch wenn die 20 Personen vorbestellt hatten, geht gar nicht.Das Dessert, dass wir uns aussuchten, war auch nicht verfügbar, deshalb wurde einDessert für 10,90€ ausgewählt, das aus einem Quark- und einem Eisbälchen bestand.Unter einem Restaurant der gehobenen Klasse stelle ich mir etwas anderes vor, preis Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht stimmig.Für mich war es das erste und das letzte Essen in der Merzenmühle.

Im Gegensatz zu nebenan gelegenen Scheuer im Mühltal, die eher gutbürgerlich die Eltern und Spaziergänger bedient, ist die Küche hier ambitionierter. Mit Schwankungen aber immer einen Besuch wert, gerade auch zu Gänsezeit, wenn hier viel Federvieh sein Leben lassen muss, um lecker traditionell auf den Tisch zu kommen. Ordentliche Weinauswahl mit Potential.
