Since we had a lot planned during our wine trip in "Die Pfalz" we were looking for dinner places…read morerather late which cancelled most of our dinner options in Deidesheim already. Before we gave up we called the "Deidesheimer Stuben" to ask whether they would still be able to cook rumpsteak for us since we were told it is a delicacy in the Pfalz just a few hours earlier. Everything worked out and we went to this restaurant. When you walk in it has that nice old and "proper German" feel to it as all of the places we visited in this area. :-) Let's get to the main part - the food. Everything we tried was FANTASTIC! Whether it was the potato soup or the "Schnitzel with Spargel" (Schnitzel with Asparagus), it was all great food. I have to highlight my two favorites of that dinner. We weren't sure what to expect from the "Vorspeisevariationen" platter but we were blown away by the look and taste of this menu item. BRILLANT! And just when you thought it could not be any better, we received the Rumpsteak. Mine was cooked to perfection with delicious sauteed onions and herbal butter on top. As a side I had "Bratkartoffeln" which were very good as well. Food that good with the kind of (perfect) service we were exposed to makes me want to go there every night... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :-)

The interior is quite modern, unlike your typical Stube in the Pfalz, but still comfortable and welcoming. We visited on a week night so it was quiet but the service was very professional and competent. We decided to share one of their 7 week dry-aged steaks so we skipped a starter (we still enjoyed the bread with Schmalz and Quark however). A side of green beans and a choice of potatoes was suggested, and both were very good (3 euro per portion, but very generous and better than typically served elsewhere, especially the fries). The steak was some of the best meat I've eaten, anywhere. We shared a ~700 gramme Porterhouse, served off the bone and sliced. It looked perhaps slightly redder than the medium we ordered, but the 7-week aging made this irrelevant; the outside was well charred and seasoned and the meat was delicious; tender, full of flavour, and not at all rare despite the colour. The additional aging time beyond a steak you'll get nearly anywhere renders it different to anything you're likely to have eaten before. We had eaten at a very high-end steak restaurant in Las Vegas only a few weeks previously (Wagyu-Angus cross cattle, 5-week aged) and this was even better and also better value. I'd happily go back and try their other dishes, but I think I'd find it hard to resist getting another steak (they offer various sizes of fillet, T-bone, sirloin, rib-eye, cote de boeuf, and the Porterhouse we enjoyed). Their wine list includes several they produce themselves and some notable names from the Pfalz, at prices that won't shock. They also have some from the appropriately-named Metzger winery that show you really can find a punchy Pfalz red to go with steak.
