Bergischer Hof - Ratingen

After possible health promotion, it should be a restaurant on the way home, as it was already a little later. Shops with their own claim or even with affordable potential are thinly sown in the city of Dumeterminal. So only hope remained to avoid a total failure. The restaurant of the Hotel Bergischer Hof seems quite wide. The basis are Balkan dishes and steaks, as well as recommendations that can be taken from various panels and mirror surfaces. On Wednesday, Schnitzeltag felt a high holiday in the surrounding senior residences, at least we thought to significantly reduce the average age. To enter the restaurant, four steps are to be overcome, then one stands almost immediately in front of the bar area, first impression: Rhapsodie in beige, brown and gold tones prevail, while dark wooden optics tables are comfortably acting uprests in egg scarves. On the tables: candles and table sets in pink, along with light green paper napkins, a fresh flower, granite-made water shakers and massive tools for one gear each. The service people act here, let's say, very focused. When entering the guest room, nothing happened except lifting the view and an astonishing mimic, without stirring was further polished around the wine glass. Apparently, we landed in a time loop at the ‘Hotel California’. However, before a paradox could occur with its potentially terrible consequences, Madame saved the situation by kindly wishing a good evening. This then started a whole series of apparently conditioned behavioral patterns. It was greeted, the glass was turned off and with the demand whether we had reserved one moved out of the counter area to the opened reservation book. Through our negligence, the counterman gave us to the waiter, who offered us some tables to choose from. Shortly afterwards, the leather-bound cards and some inlaid olives came as an amuse equivalent. We met the hurried demand for beverages with the order of a bottle of still water (Gerolsteiner naturell, 0,75 L à 5,10 Euronen), after which we were able to choose in peace. As mentioned at the outset, the map offers the usual Balkan dishes, Schnitzel and Steaks. So it should be a fillet steak with gorgonzola sauce for Madame der Grillteller and for me. A desired change in supplements (spinat instead of beans to fillet) has been accepted without problems. Since it should only be a quick dinner, we did not waste any thoughts on any appetizers, especially since a “self-assembled salad from the buffet” is included in almost every dish. In a commercially available salad with granite work area, the salad buffet Fresh components: cucumber slices (cold) Tomato echstice Radicchio Rosso di Chioggia Eisberg and Radicchio mixed oak leaf salad (red) mustache (rucola) carrot potentiell Convenience corn and Kidney beans olives (black and green) Everything in an expectable neat quality, with one or the other Convenience ingredient being allowed to dispense with. Oh yes, vinegar, oil and pepper mill gave it also at the buffet, is a bit laborious, especially if a snake with the hooves has already formed.... Even before we had eaten the salads, the serviceman stood at the table and served the main foods grill plates 13,90 Euronen 2 Ćevapčići, spits, chops, chop steak and bacon, with fries, Djuvečreis and salad Nunja, the ingredients were all there, in addition some Ajvar (mild, Convenience rohel and onion). The rice does not boil as often experienced but unfortunately almost taste-free, the pommes would have been a little longer, so they were slightly flexible and sleek. Opticly, the meat parts were appealing, only the Ćevapčići and the spear still had something like juice, the rest on the contact grill was meticulously dried. The spear was probably due to the origins of the pork comb, while the Ćevapčići apparently had a little more attention from the cook. With good spice and pleasant garlic, they almost forgot the roaring use of NaNO2. Where Bernie Bo as a designated Ćevapčići Pope would certainly have more to say here. Cattle fillet in Gorgonzola sauce, leaf spinach and roast 23,90 Euronen Okay, here too were the designated ingredients, but their quality seemed to be at the bottom of the scale. Röstitaler and Spinat TK goods, you can do, but you also have to implement well. Thalers were too soft and not properly chewed out (probably together with the pommes too early from the frituse), the spinach, overgart, tastefully a little dense at the compass. The desired cooking level at the fillet (medium rare) was met. However, the stak was cut out of the fillet head as easily and precisely at the place where the strongest tendon sits, thank you very much! Incomprehensible, the more than that the store also offers Stroganoff, salad with fillet tips and lunch table... The best seemed to be the aromatic gogonzola sauce. The open Chardonnay (0.25 L à 4.50 Euronen) ordered for this purpose was not recognizable as such, but provides good services when flushing the ‘Perlen Balkanischer Kochkunst’. In order to order the invoice, we had to draw attention to us again by Winken (keyword: focusing the service, unfortunately close to the guest). If restricted to the purely Croatian dishes and if the kitchen has a better day, perhaps worth a try. In the present form, even if there was another tacky yellow-sweet on the house at the end, for a total of 51.90 Euronen a highly unrepeatable pleasure.

As a restaurant, this really is a fantastic location. Their Croatian cuisine and various other mails are exquisite. The typical Croatian plates are very democratic while f.e. the filet steak is as usual more expensive, but melts in your mouth. Drooling just thinking about it....Service is fantastic and friendly. Talking or understanding German is advised, but their English knowledge is alright.

Enjoy the nice offers like schnitzel day and steak day on thursday,schnitztel day on wedenesday fair fari we must say

Delicious dinner, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Price is a little bit high but we are happy with the quality of food.

The Bergische Hof offers a good choice of very high quality dishes cooked to a high standard. The restaurant decor is very impressive. A Side Salad is usually taken from a buffet offering a wide choice of ingredients.
