My Bremen family (via husband) have been coming to this local speciality restaurant since the 90's…read more The setting is in an idyllic farm location outside of Bremen; Lilienthal, which clearly hasn't changed in years, if not decades. The menu is seasonal; if not 'Taglich' (daily). The Chef prides himself in cooking everything for all of his guests, for every meal. This particular occasion was a celebration that my Father-in-law arranged for his survival of a recent stroke. My usual preparation to a restaurant visit, old and new, is to read recent reviews. In previous visits to Zur Schleuse, I recall enjoying 'healthified' versions of the menu offerings. Perhaps this was a previous trend? Our respective selections (photos) attached, were much more heavy. In reading reviews, menu guests have experienced the same. I'm wondering if the Chef (or sous-Chef) can consider a 'healthified' menu; where the fish is prepared in simple cooking techniques (poached, grilled, roasted) without so much oil. Also, the menu seems inflexible to any dietary restrictions and allergies (please correct me otherwise). But the fish was clearly fresh and tasty. My husband ordered an extraordinary plum dessert that still remains on my palate. The rustic setting, homestyle atmosphere, welcoming service, made up for any of the above critique. It was (yet another) memorable family meal.

It was especially nice once it got dark as it's even more pretty in the evening. The staff was really friendly and accommodating to our big group. I jokingly said to the waiter that a colleague got more wine than me in his glass and the waiter returned with more wine for me! The food was wonderful - I had a lovely soup with saffron and then the salmon (delicious and great textural notes on the top with some sea salt and other bits). Dessert was a trio of tasty treats - yum! Definitely worth a stop - simply great!
