Zum Haas - Bad Bergzabern

After visiting the Rebmeerbad in Bad Bergzabern we wanted to return to Marc Wendel in the Hopfestubb chapel. This place, in Chapel-Drusweiler, just a few kilometres from the spa town, had unfortunately closed this evening for business trips. Plan B pointed to the Greeks “Athos” on the edge. There was something else? Ah yes, the old winery of the same name, owned by the Haas family, fell to me as a useful alternative from culinary memory. a thousand times, but never stopped. That should change that night. The lights burned when we turned off the car and entered the inn very inviting from the outside on the wine road to Wissembourg (Alsace). Through the windows we saw a few free places in the front guest room. It would certainly also be a free table for us “jumping out”. The greeting was not unfriendly, but also not very warm. The two service women in the Dirndl were immediately noticed that they had all their hands full. Disguised by the five tables of wood, pre-room, three were already occupied and a reserved for a larger group. You were still free – our happiness! Only later we repeatedly saw guests from the back of the wine bar and kindly went out. So there were a few seats. Inside was a comfortable guest house. Tile floor, rustic wooden ceiling, wall cabinets behind their glass doors Wine bottles wait for their tasting and polished Bordeaux cuisine for their filling. Also in the corner benches and furniture, bright wood gave the sound. Future host house chairs with heart-shaped, perforated backrest and comfortable seat cushion around the non-small wooden tables. The rusticity of the guest room was underlined by the folkloristic presentation of the two maids. That was coherent and coordinated. On the tables was the only cutlery on red fabric sets. The napkins stood up like freshly picked sails. pepper, salt and a bit peeful plastic deco joined the show with the dessert offer and the light in the middle. The menus were handed over to us. The decision was not easy for me, because the selection was quite lush. Two soups and six different salads, the latter with delicious “accompanies” such as shrimps and baked potato sacks, filled the first side of the “roller”. It continued three times with fish (stube fillet, zander und bandnudeln with smoked salmon and shrimps and vegetarian twice. The gastronomic, now established non-meat ice creamer was allowed to choose between herbal pancakes with creamy vegetable filling (10.90 Euro and Tagliatelle in Champignonkräutersauce (11.50 Euro from the wok). The heart of the map or, better, its “Filet” represented the wide selection of meat dishes. In addition to the eight main foods with Carnivorenhintergrund (Schnitzel, Rumpsteak, Kalbstafelspitz Co, six Palat classics (from the liver dumpster plate to the most influential wine pan). As with so many such advantages, this considerable accumulation of the good-bourgeois Allerweltsgericht was also lacking. Culinary unique features – unfortunately incorrect! As if there were no alternatives to pig detectors, Schnitzel Wiener Art and sausage salad. Too bad, because even in such locals, the guest would be delighted with seasonal offers that the regional environment would like to include. The homemade Riesling cream soup with vegetable cubes (4.50 euros) and the Pelicuts (10.80 euros) refined with blood and liver sausage from the pan are mentioned in honor. The daily offer has already been cured by slate board before entering the inn. Cooked cattle breast on deft horse sauce with parsley potatoes and additional salad (10.90 euros) was written in chalk. My accompaniment quickly decided. Despite great hunger, the offer in the “Haas” has not really appealed to me, so I wanted my salvation in the “angus nigrum”, as the Rumpsteak lateiner say. For not exactly shy 21.90 euros it was optionally offered with herbal butter or pepper cream sauce. Depending on Gusto Pommes, frits or croquettes and an additional salad were melted. For thirst quenching, we ordered a bottle of mineral water (0.75l for 3.90 Euro and a small tannial bowl of the barrel (0.33l for 2.80 Euro). They were both delicious with vinegar and oil. The use of fresh ingredients was obvious. Mild sweet carrot chips, creamy white cabbage, freshly designed cucumber lobe and a colorful Lolo-Rosso-Bianco mix above. It started really well! I commissioned a little white bread to do the delicate dressing. This was quickly hit and the first hunger was banned. Our two main courts arrived in time. We were happy, because after the sport, the desire is sometimes the greatest. The Rumpsteak came as an ordered medium rarely on the plate. It was nice to look at it, but in a Palatinate wine room such a good piece of meat should also vote from the measurements. Unfortunately not. Even without having the meat scale in my luggage, I appreciated his weight significantly below 200 grams. It was simply cut too thin. A well-known lady’s cut that doesn’t feed me with about five croquettes in the light of the little bowl. Well, the average age of the guests is certainly somewhat higher in a spa town like Bad Bergzabern. And the older semesters are known to have smaller sections. Good and good, but for 22 euros the offer was tasteful and qualitative, but just too little tonight. The sauce served separately in a small box required a few additional slices of baguette. They appeared on the bill at 50 cents later. Guys, don't win new guests like that! Fresh horseradish was rubbed over the regular bottle of horseradish sauce, which overlays the tenderly boiled slices of bovine breast. Without it, the stamp would have cost only for cream. The parsley potatoes were impeccable. The Desserts didn't talk much to us, so we went very soon. Too bad that a few small things limit the recommendation of this well maintained wine bar a little near the Bergzabern Centre. Next time we go back to the Chapel-Drusweiler to Marc Wendel to the Hopfestubb. It doesn't taste better. You're getting tired.

We had both lunch and dinner here it was so good! Great authentic food and good wine made for a wonderful time in Bad Bergzabern. Very friendly service and the prices are also reasonable so go and enjoy!

Small place, warm cozy with great food. It looked like the Flammkuchen is a major hit. I had a schnitzel and came back on Sunday night for the German Pizza, but they close on Sunday about the time they open normally, so I missed this treat.

The service is very friendly, the food is traditional, very tasty and served in generous portions. A good selection of local wines and spirits. The restaurant is small, however worth the wait if you can't get a table straight away.

I came here with a group of 18 people in July 2015. I appreciated the fact that we were not limited in our menu choice, the fast service, the delicious food with a good price quality balance, the cozy terrace, the friendly personnel and the willingness to accept individual payments at the end.
