Schaefer's - Bad Arolsen

This place was very recommended when my parents and I looked for a special occasion for a special occasion. to be on the safe side, we decided.

Although the shepherd is only 20 minutes' drive away, it took a long time to enjoy excellent food thanks to PetraIO's recommendation. My acquaintance, over 80 years old, is still very pleasant, but strongly obstructed by rheumatism and sought a “Sieg” that accompanies it in the shepherds. And I liked to sacrifice myself! However, a problem could be the search for a parking lot because we had to park as close as possible to the restaurant. And when we arrived there for lunch, there were no free parking on the entire Schlossstraße. So I first parked in the side entrance, my acquaintances led the entrances to the restaurant and asked the boss where I could park reasonably. She offered me the place in front of the two private garages of the restaurant on the back of the house, which I of course appreciated. A great praise for this service! Entering the guest room is on the left side of the Bistro and Lounge area. Here you can relax at the counter, at tables or tables in front of a revolving bank and choose from the bistro card snacks and finger foods, e.g. baked ciabatta, oven potatoes, chicken skewers, shrimps, cocktails and long drinks. For the evening (between 17.00 and 20.00 “Bread and Wine” are offered: one litre of Merlot or Chardonnay, with a basket with fresh baguette and garlic herbal butter for a total of 17,00 €. I quote from Petra’s criticism: “A modern, clear line. Cream, brown and red tones give the room warmth. Beautiful tables with table runners and fabric napkins. Candle and fresh flower on the table. Bright but pleasant lighting.” That's right! A young lady and the restaurant manager Mrs Wessel also took care of us very friendly, competent and attentive. When submitting the high-quality, red integrated menus, we were asked for possible already existing beverage requests. As aperitif we chose a KIR “HOLUNDER”, elderflower syrup with champagne (4.80). Although the “Hugo” is actually out, it still tastes to me, especially when it is so perfectly prepared with lime and mint and properly cooled. The choice of dishes varies approximately every six weeks, depending on the seasonal offer and also shows regional influences. A slope to Mediterranean and Asian cuisine is distinctive. The always fresh products are processed by the cook in two menus, three appetizers, two soups, two pasta, meat and fish dishes as well as three desserts, all always imaginatively combined. With the Hugos the greeting came from the kitchen, like with Petra different bread and slightly roasted baguette slices with strongly seasoned herbal butter, geese malt and a pepper/chili cream, quite sharp but extremely tasty. Unlike Petra, I tried the goose bump, that's high quality, but I don't have to. After a pleasant waiting period, our two main dishes, for me the table top with carrots and roasted potatoes (23.00 € , plus a soft velvet (0.33 for 2.50 €) and for my acquaintance of the fish stew with chorizo (24.00 € , plus a 0.2 glass Pinot Grigorio for 4.40 €. So far I've eaten it with riding in some form, here he was completely gone, so I was very excited. Both dishes looked very tempting on the well heated white plates. A small bowl of Aioli with fresh baguette slices was also served with the fish stew. My acquaintances revealed every bite of the quality of fish, broth and also Aioli. That's delicious! Even without a ride, my table top was completely convincing. The longitudinally cut carrots, slightly glazed, crunchy, of wonderful own taste, the halved holes perfectly boiled and again briefly roasted in the pan, with delicious roasted flavors. The previously marinated beef almost broke to the tongue, the Jus just a poem! Everything was good. There was nothing left on the record. And at home I would have licked the plate. A dessert no longer fits. That's why we finally had a hot, strong espresso Macchiato (2,00 € wounded! My conclusion is as with Petra: Absolutely back! If you want to pamper yourself in a culinary way, it is here.

Lovely meal set in a relaxing atmosphere. Service was very good and helped with translation. All meals well prepared and delicious as seen by the clean plates returned to the kitchen.

The place makes out as the top restaurant in Bad Arolsen, and it probably is. But nothing more. The menu is very limited, which can be an indicator of great things to come. But they didn 't. There was a pumpkin soup for me, and a clear tomato soup for my company. Both okay, but neither of an exceptional taste. Then we took another appetizer as 'main ', the regional, Prussian Königsberger Klopse, meat balls of minced veal. The characteristic taste comes from the accompanying capers, in the cream(y) sauce. In our case the vegetable with them was turnip cabbage, 8 minuscule pieces boiled to be just hard. Not even al dente. The capers were obviously strewn onto the finished buttery sauce. The meat balls had seen tiny amounts of spices and were probably supposed to obtain the taste from a grilled anchovy on their top. While this latter is sometimes considered 'the classical variant ', it is uncommon in most places, and took us by some surprise. The accompanying dips were the best part of our lunch meal. The baguette was okay, and yet it could have been more fresh and crispy. The service was also okay, and yet more on a level and a style of a normal pub.
