Lunch out in the Countryside

I was driving over winding roads through narrow villages to a family owned restaurant. It has a huge outside seating area and we were lucky to see the Frankfurt skyline in the distance.

Talblick in Steigerts is the spot I have been today. A tiny village in the Odenwald. The restaurant sits on a hillside surrounded by an orchard.

A specialty of Hessian is the cooked cheese or Kochkäse. To be found here on one of my blogs. Traditional each Odenwald restaurant makes their own recipe of Kochkaese. It is then sometimes served on top and around a good piece of pork Schnitzel. The more gooy sauce they serve, the better it is. Very important are the french fries on a seperate plate. Otherwise they get limp and soggy.

But the begin of our neal was a soup plate full of fresh seasonal salad.

We sat outside and a little drizzle of rain started. Non of the guests outside went into the restaurant, we all stayed put and the rain stopped. It is so blistering hot this summer here in Germany, we all been grateful for a little water.

A cup of ice cream finished our meal. Hazelnut and chocolate ice cream with nuts and whipped cream.

I am looking forward to the next visit in September.
