Landolin · Das Miteinander - Mannheim

Last night we returned to Landolin for the first time (but certainly not for the last time). The Landolin is the new flagship restaurant at the Waldhof. The building of the Caritas is completely new, the opening was repeatedly postponed, on the 15th. August then opened the gates. If you read the map carefully, the restaurant was named after the pastor Landolin who worked at the Waldhof. However, Landolin is more interested in cooperation. The homepage says: Integrationsgesellschaft Landolin Half of our employees have disabilities. This can be both physical and psychological limitations. The Landolin offers them the opportunity to participate in working life in the sense of inclusion. That would have liked our namemaker Landolin Kiefer. We did not disturb this yesterday's visit, people are very busy and try to feel the guest as pleasant as possible. Here and there it takes a little longer until the drinks are gifted or until they are served, but this is really all in the green area. We study the maps, they make a noble impression. Surprise on the first page: A lunch table is offered: on Saturday e.g. steam noodles with vanilla sauce and espresso. Everything that is processed in the Landolin comes fresh into the restaurant: They value fresh, regional products: meat and bread are mostly covered by butchers and bakers. The fish comes from the Odenwald. The wines come partly from the Palatinate and the Baden Ländle. The location is usually very good here, not free our apartment is not 400 meters away. Doctors, pharmacies, hairdressing salon, a post office and a shopping center (Rewe, Aldi, DM) are nearby. The same applies to the public service where almost all administrative formalities can be completed. It will be a cash machine from the Sparkasse directly in the house. A few steps further, the Kulturhaus Waldhof offers a colorful event program. The Waldhof The Hallenbad Ost is just a short walk away. The city of Mannheim plans to develop the neighbouring Taunusplatz as a festival and meeting point and as a new center of the district. There are events such as the City Festival and the markets. In addition, the city plans a train stop at the Waldhof, so far there are only buses, Straba and RB and RE trains. From 2014 we order a fruity rose (Herxheimer Kobnert) for affordable 2,80 the neighborhood. I decide for an excellent Chardonnay of Gimmeldingen, for sensational 3.50 the neighborhood that was fantastic. A little water. When the drinks were served, I asked why you spend so generously here. We are not too busy sharing the service with a spoon. The rose had fine strawberry notes and aromas of forest berries and tasted my wife excellent. But the Chardonnay of the Gimmeldinger Meerspinne also tasted Famos. Landolin Kiefer, the name of the restaurant, lived and worked 41 years as a pastor in the Waldhof, from 1895 to 1936. In particular, he looked after the simple workers and their needs as well as the Italian immigrants. Therefore, the Italian intervention on the map must not be absent. Many salads (Italian spgahettini, tomato mozzarella etc.), some meat dishes and isolated fish dishes are offered. We decide for the fitness salad as for a cordon ball of pig filled with cooking ham and emmentaler, on the map with rosemary ham and carrot vegetables. But I wanted to have Pommes instead of potatoes, which was not a problem. The two dishes were served appealingly. The fitness salad consisted of high quality rocket, green head salad, field salad, paprika, mushrooms, tomatoes, feta, pine nuts. The whole thing was made with a light yogurt dressing. I missed some acidity during dressing, but the flavor that my wife tasted. The Cordon Blau also tasted excellent. The panade of real spices, the meat wonderfully desired, juicy and soft. The ham and the cheese did not cover the pork taste, he supported him, that was really right, really good. I never had that before. Well made from raw potatoes brown fried, I ask, there are no pommes bags used, but made from fresh ingredients from the farmer. The small tubs had a light bite, were beautifully made with spices and fresh herbs. We had no room for a dessert, but the nightstands looked really good. The map contains some treats. From refreshing buttermilk mousses with strawberries a melon cocktail is offered here for the dessert variant Landolin. Conclusion: The sustainable use of food and resources is important for Landolin employees. More importantly, the guest feels welcome and that he tastes naturally. And it does. Therefore, a deserved 4.5 in section, for the impeccable and very modern sanitary facilities I award maximum score. Due to the extremely favorable wine prices and the very fair food prices in the price leisrung also maximum score. We're back in time (morning)!
