Having dined there on several occasions in the past, we knew to expect quality—but this latest visit once again surpassed our expectations. Given the restaurant’s intimate size and well-earned popularity, securing a table typically requires planning ahead and leaving a reservation request via voicemail. We reached out on short notice and, unsurprisingly, were initially informed that the evening was fully booked. But in a stroke of luck—and thanks to the personal attention of the owner, Mr. Schaefer himself—we received a return call informing us of a last-minute cancellation. That gesture alone reflects the personal commitment and warmth that defines this establishment. Upon arrival, we were greeted cordially and seated at one of the charming outdoor tables. Our culinary journey began with a rosé Cava, crisp and refreshing. The starters set a high bar: – “Boquerones al Mimosa” – marinated anchovy fillets prepared with subtlety and finesse, delivering a delicate balance of acidity and umami. – Marinated Duroc Pork Skewers with Chimichurri – remarkably tender with a fragrant, herbaceous dip that complemented the richness of the pork beautifully. The standout, however, was the main course: – Red Curry of Heidschnucke (a regional Moorland sheep), served with baby spinach, chickpeas, and basmati rice. This dish was a triumph—aromatic, gently spiced, and deeply flavorful without being overpowering. The use of Heidschnucke brought a distinctly regional identity to an otherwise internationally inspired preparation. To accompany the main, we enjoyed a bottle of 2022 Alte Reben Wurzelecht Riesling from Weingut Villa Huesgen (Mosel). This dry Riesling offered just the right minerality and structure to round out the dish—an inspired pairing. In summary, Herr Schaefer remains a shining example of what a small, independent restaurant can offer: personal hospitality, thoughtfully composed dishes, and a deep connection to both regional ingredients and international culinary inspiration. Highly recommended—for locals and visitors alike.
