Lava - Usingen

After a stroll around the Hattsteinweiher pond, we were up for a hearty lunch, but the three of us could not decide what type of cuisine we were collectively in the mood for. Fortunately, Lava Restaurant was just a few hundred meters down the road from Hattsteinweiher Park. It is a great little restaurant catering to every taste with exquisite, reasonably-priced eclectic cuisine. I had a hankering for Schnitzel... any kind of Schnitzel... so I ordered Jaegerschnitzel smothered in creamy mushroom sauce. Loved every bite of it! My wife and cousin ordered Mediterranean pasta dishes, and they were equally pleased as well. The restaurant in situated in the front end of The Usingen Tennis Club amidst the beautiful countryside of Hattsteinweiher Park. There is plenty of parking and room for a post-Mittagessen Spaziergang to walk off some of the calories from a delicious meal. The restaurant is family-owned and hands-on in the operation of the restaurant. Needless, to say, the owner and the staff will bend over backwards to oblige the patrons. If you ever find yourself in the gorgeous hills and forests of Taunus, I wholeheartedly recommend a meal at Lava Restaurant! And if there in mid-May, please sample their Asparagus season menu.
