Bistro Zwinger - Ottweiler

I was a guest at the kennel restaurant in May. The restaurant is idyllic and very quiet in the heart of the historic old town of Ottweiler. In the Middle Ages, forces called a free surface between inner and outer walls. The remains of the old city fortification, which included the medieval Ottweiler, date back to 15th. Century. From the interior of the city you came to the Zwinger through small well-capped pies, today you enter the beautiful beer garden bordering the old city wall through such a gate. The restaurant itself offers about 50 people in different rooms, although simple, but originally tastefully decorated; so there is a “green” and a “moon room”, as well as a small space called “Separee” which is very suitable for smaller companies. Since May 2013, Verena Baab and Jana Gaube have been run, one is a confectioner, the other learned baker and confectioner. In addition to a small selection of dishes and changing daily meals, the kennel also offers all kinds of sweets from the baker and confectioner's handicrafts and sees itself as a bistro and café. The concept seems to start, the place was well visited. Service: We were very kindly greeted by a young waitress and served unobtrusively attentively. She answered my questions about food and drinks very competently. But now for the most important thing: food: we shared an appetizer – goat cheese in the crispy Filoteig – on leaf salad with grilled paprika and homemade Chutney at 7,50 € As the main course we chose Wiener Schnitzel twice – calf carvings baked in butter with cranberries, lemon, roast potatoes and salad set at 12,50 € Rating: All ingredients were fresh and of good quality. The appetizer salad was crisp, nicely assembled from various salads of the season, chicoree leaves with tomatoes, carrots, radishes, grilled red and yellow peppers, roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, a delicious sweet sour chutney, in which pieces from mango fruit dominated, garnished with a physalis, the whole dressed The goat cheese, encased in a thin Folioteig coat, not too strictly harmonized in taste excellently to the Chutney and the slightly sweetened salad creation. The main course couldn't convince. The Viennese schnitzel from the calf was as it belongs to a Viennese schnitzel nicely cut and baked with a spicy panade that only loosely wrapped the meat, golden brown. The panade was a bit too strong, but still tasted perfectly. The meat was leaner, but unfortunately a bit staggered fibrous. Maybe the carvings were too long in the butter or the meat was cut with the fiber. Even the roasted potatoes were not as much as I love them, crusty and crispy fried, but rather tasted as if they were precooked in not too hot fat still a little swung. Price performance: here I can award 4 stars. Wiener Schnitzel luxuriant portion) for 12,50 € and the great also abundant appetizer salad with goat cheese for 7,50 € quite moderately calculated.

The food was great the atmosphere was great and the service also

Super ambience and very friendly staff. Food has best quality, is very rich and simply delicious.

Very delicious steak with great sauce. Very recommended.

Great ambience, very friendly service, very good food. I can especially recommend the oriental burger who has nothing to do with kebab/döner and the oriental appetizer plate. Steaks are also highly recommended. Finally someone who knows what medium means! Great price/performance ratio and very relaxing! We like to come back
