Stadtpalais - Lemgo

This hotel restaurang, deserves some professional chef in the kitchen area. The rooms all have a wonderful interior, so the setting can not be better. But on the plates....not good at all. Almost everything is convenience food, without flavours, taste or even a appealing...looks. Sad really, but it is very hard to find a restaurant in this region, where someone is cooking, and just not open, defrost, in the friteuse unit. The closest is restaurant La Forge in Bad Nenndorf Riepen, about minutes drive away.

We returned to this old favourite recently after one year but were quite disappointed. The stylish dining-room is lovely for either lunch or dinner, but the enormous menu does disappoint. Too many dishes, too much re-heating but some dishes such as oyster mushrooms are fresh...and delicious. We were a party of but all the meals arrived at different times and my meal was not hot, others were swamped under large amounts of dressing.

The is part of the Hotel Stadtpalais. They server breakfast but it is your standard German items with an egg bar. The restaurant has two menus, you can mix and match, the first is the classic menu and the second is a seasonal. I had...dinner there two days and all items were properly good and had good seasoning. The duck with leeks and potato pancakes where excellent. Prices are comparable to any other similar restaurant and was filled with both locals and hotel guests.

Good traditional German cuissine in a well preserved renaissance house.

A real surprise find, its an old hotel which has a new extension but really well done and tasteful. It has a car park at the rear, nice courtyard with an outside bar where you can also order food. It seems to have regular local...business which gives it a nice atmosphere. The rooms are great, plenty of room, good beds, and a shower to die for. Staff were efficient and very friendly and the breakfast was plenty and fresh. The bread was very fresh. All in all a very enjoyable and positive experience.
