zum Hirschen



Update: The restaurant has changed hands a few times since I wrote this entry and it is a different place now. We don't go there anymore. 27 Feb 2011.


Continuing on with the food theme. There are certain names that are extremely popular for restaurants and hotels in these parts. The particular names vary by region to some extent. Around us, Bären (bear), Hirschen (deer), Löwen (lion) and Sternen (star) are used a lot. Villigen has a Hirschen (restaurant and hotel) and a Schlossberg. Hirschen is an excellent place and I must say that I'm very pleasantly surprised to find it here. They have seasonal menus with creative dishes combining local produce with influences from all over the world. Their dessert sampler (Der Dessertteller) is usually wonderful. The best part is that they have very nice vegetarian entrees, a welcome change from those places that can think up only spaghetti with tomato sauce for vegetarians.


Das Restaurant zum Hirschen in Villigen finden wir besonders gut. Mit kreativen Saisonmenü und ausgezeignete Nachspeisen ist es wirklich speziell. Das Beste ist die Auswahl der wohlüberlegten vegetarischen Hauptgericht: man muss nicht nur Salatblätter kauen!

Is that whipped cream and shaved chocolate on the deer's face? ;-)

That would be a lovelier explanation than rusted metal and snow, wouldn't it? :-)
