On our last night of a 2 week vacation in Germany we were staying at the NH Hotel (sort of) at Munich Airport. Not wanting to spend more on dinner than we paid for our discounted rooms, we left the hotel in search of a place for dinner. Using our GPS we worked our way through the five closest "German style" restaurants in the area. The first place we drove to was closed for the season, the second required a reservation, the third was no longer in business and a fourth had become an Italian restaurant since the last GPS map update. On our way to #5 we spotted Deimel's well-lighted and decorated restaurant seemingly open for business. Fortunately for us, it was.
What a great place to have our last German meal! The warm coziness of the place greets you as soon as you enter the front door. Romantically lighted and reeking of Old World charm we were immediately seated and given a basket of freshly-cut bread. Accompanying it was the tastiest Krauter butter I've had in 30 plus years of travel throughout Europe.
We started the evening with half liter glasses of Huberweisses wheat beer. Absolutely delicious and the perfect companion for our meals. Famished, I ordered the "Pretzel Soup" which I had never even heard of before. Hard pretzel chunks and sausage immersed in a broth reminiscent of onion soup might have served as a meal by itself.
My main course was one of my staple foods on our budget-conscious trip - Kasespaetzel. My dinner was filling and of a generous proportion, but just the slightest bit bland. For one of the few times on our trip I reached for the salt shaker. Still, it proved to be a satisfying meal. Best of all, the prices were quite reasonable in increasingly expensive Germany. read more
