Goldener Sternen - Konstanz

This very traditional and attractive looking hotel, covered with red Geranium flower boxes, is very convenient for the train station, the various ferries for transport around the lake and also the Konstanz shopping center. First impressions you can believe that the premises are a little tired, but we were impressed by its solid fittings and fittings; excellent showers that work, good beds and furniture, heating that works and it was immaculately clean. I suspect that this business could have been in the same family for years and it was beaten that there was care and attention. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful and available until 10.00. There were even lit white dinner candles on each table to welcome guests for breakfast. Only an additional touch of luxury. A little old-fashioned maybe....but very relaxing, no brashness of any kind, and we would certainly stay there again. Unfortunately, we didn't make dinner there, but I guess that would have been good too!

This was the second restaurant meal of our first extended trip to Germany. A second-floor restaurant connected to a small hotel, it was lorded over by a very authoritarian and sometimes ill-tempered lady. We displeased her by ordering a single appetizer portion to be shared; she rapped the table with her knuckle; when we insisted, she shrugged her shoulders. But the food was very good. The appetizer was the Kalbskopf mit Vinaigrette (veal head terrine with a salad). Our main courses were a venison plate (a specialty of the week) and a wurst platter. We had an excellent and reasonably priced pinot noir from the Bodensee (Spitalkellerei 2011).

We went to Goldener Sternen two or three times, it's a nice restaurant/hotel few min away from the station. They offer traditional German food like goose, duck, schnitzel with roast potatoes/fries. But menu changes from time to time depending on the season i guess.. It's a shame they do not have a website with the menu updates. The food tastes fresh, service is always efficient, so we will be coming back. I've noticed local elderly people like to dine there. Reservation is recommended.

After the midnight fright of the emergency station Stroke Unit, which was only temporarily mitigated by the visit of the Klinikcafés Krachenfels, I feel like a healthy and mischievous kitchen. The nerves are clear. Although the last visit to the Golden Star is good 20 years ago, my last visit to Konstanz is regular. But what does that mean? Schankrecht was awarded to the traditional restaurant at Bodanplatz in 1889. A bit of the old pink house with the Geranienkästen on the window sauces and the plough ambience still sprays the charm of the past. Almost you feel moved into the last or even penultimate century. The restaurant on the first floor is accessible via a curved staircase with soft carpet. But before that you should study the numerous thank you letters and maps in the lower foyer, which will be exhibited in Glasvitrinen. The upper rooms have the grace of an old French restaurant: lower ceilings and dark wooden columns, glittering white tablecloths and reinforced fabric napkins, heavy red overhangs on brass rods and polished shops, barely polished table silver and well maintained florales (real and in plastic). In the service, two obsolete, slightly chewing dams are seen with Dutt and orthopedic shoes, which change mainly in handling submissive service and certain appearance. The clocks cross something else here and the rhythm is easy to behave. Very relaxing! The menu includes fish dishes (e.g. Eglifilet and Zander, about 25 Euro) as well as natural (board, Cordon Bleu, Rumpsteak) as well as regional (Gaisburger Marsch or Kässpätzle for about 15 Euro each). A small offer of hot and cold appetizers and soups. A fine wine offering, mainly from the area. Especially bizarre: A long-drawn, superbly equipped spirit hall works as a room divider. From ancient French armagnac to modern creations of the Salemer Distillerie Senft you will find all kinds of delicacies. My ordered beetles are hand-cut and butter soft, the used emmentaler was refined with lots of cream and the crispy roasted onion gives a wonderful topping. The nearby Reichenau “Gemüseinsel” is literally touched by the additional salad: delicate leaf salad, aromatic tomatoes, crispy carrots. This salad is freshly prepared and does not swell for hours (as is often the case in some other places). In the Golden Star, the foods are kept warm under a metal bell, crowned on a small bird and, if necessary, arranged on an ordering table. Everything a little old-fashioned, but very well maintained. Remember “Dinner for one”. By the way, the other guests of the restaurant are mainly Swiss – and this can be interpreted as a quality criterion. Certain wishes are received and executed very accurately, and the guest is in the center of attention. Perhaps the preparation and waiting times are somewhat longer than elsewhere, but that is definitely worth it. The Golden Star can be reached in a few minutes from the train station; a bus stop is located near the front door. The pedestrian zone and the Lago shopping centre are nearby. In the cultivated hotel (opened in the upper floors) you can of course stay well maintained (the exhibited thank you correspondence is at least full of praise). The areas of the house I have seen were dulled, all clean and very noble. At the next visit I will definitely try one of the fish dishes. And not only visually pour the treasures of the ghost's ritual.

It's Spargl season! we had luck in this charming restaurant after we had walked a bit through the city and looked at the menus. classic European or German eating and atmosphere, but with special menu items, such as various Spargl dishes, of which we had several. an salate, a suppe, then served with kalbsfilet as main dish. the lady responsible for the dining room did not speak English, but seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for, and was a perfect host. everything was very delicious and a great value for money for the reasonable price. look at the pictures of the main dish, yum!
