The meal started with a asparagus cream soup. A nice start that was very well matched to the baguette. The meal was eccentric. The traditional white asparagus and hollandaise sauce was done well. Large fat asparagus cooked perfectly and the scratch made hollandaise sauce was so good. Took the hollandaise sauce to the potatoes and it was just that much better.

We were not disappointed.Some might called this place kind of old-fashioned, but I liked it.The service was efficient as well as friendly and quick.The menu offers a number of recurring dishes plus seasonal specialties (our autumn choice was a variety of dishes all based on pumpkin). However, we went for 2 of the standard choices. My wife had fried gold bass in a breadcrumb crust, while I settled for a rump steak. The nice thing with the rump steak is that you can choose each and every side dish separately. Unfortunately I could not get the fresh chanterelle mushrooms that I wanted, but at least the canned variety was available, and it was lovely. Combined with fried onions and almond potato croquettes, it was a great main dish.Fortunately, the restaurant offers plenty of choice as to beers (some nice local ones), and not just German wines which is good.I especially appreciate that the owner of the restaurant, although old and having difficulty walking with 2 crutches, made his rounds to all tables to personally greet everyone, and have a little chat with the regulars. That shows commitment and dedication.Well worth a visit!

So we drove an hour to Meppen for a special meal and chose Schmidt on the market for lunch. It was very good! Yummy Food .. good service .. beautiful atmosphere. We had the wild game stew completely delicious! Along with a kind of noodle balls from noodles and other things [sorry, forget what it was called my German is near zero] also total YUMMY! For dessert we had this marzipan ice cream dish just as delicious as the rest! With espresso, beer, all reasonable for under 70 € VERY. I drove the 100 km back there!

We ate inside when that was cooler in the heat wave this week, but they also have a nice terrace outside. The staff was very friendly.
