NO PAPER NAPKINS HERE. SIMPLY AMAZING…read more Don't let the name fool you. There's nothing concerning rats here. We've been here a few times and this place never disappoints. A couple nights ago we had the steak filet (very good) and the lamb filet (fantastic). After being seated, fresh warm rolls with butter are brought to the table. We had a beer and a Shiraz (super). The Shiraz paired well with the lamb, which was served in a wine sauce. Really. It was amazing. Green beans wrapped in bacon and two potato au gratin stacks were served with the lamb. Everything was perfectly cooked and the flavors, well-balanced. The dessert served with the lamb dinner was a chocolate mousse which I didn't really care for. It wasn't bad, rather, a bit too sweet after the dinner and there wasn't enough of the chocolate flavor. It came with a small scoop of what I think was caramel ice cream. This was delicious. There is a main dining room and several smaller rooms, all of which have wonderful architecture and individual charm. The service is unsurpassed. TIPS: 1) Make a reservation! 2) Perfect for a casual meeting, business meeting or a romantic night out. 3) Although, people do take their kids here, it's not recommended unless your kids are very well-behaved. It's an upscale place.

If you are traveling in Germany near Emmerich, you should plan a visit to the Wanders Hotel in…read moreEltener. This is a really nice hotel operated by Theo and Bettina Wanders. They are a very charming couple with a very international background. Theo was a Navy submarine office for the Netherlands and Bettina was born in Puebla, Mexico. They met learning salsa lesson in the community. The hotel is over 300 years old and Theo has made it into a very modern facility while retaining the old charm of the hotel. The restaurant features some traditional German cooking handed down from Theo's Mother, so you can feel you are part of a true German family. The village is a very nice place to visit and walk around. I had the opportunity to visit during the tulip season and got a visit a local farmers market Bettina suggested. I was able to purchase some locally made cheese by a dairy farm Hof Zum Walde (translation Forest Courtyard) at a very reasonable price. It was 1/4 the price of the same cheese at the Amsterdam airport and very fresh. They provided sample as well. The honey clover and Fenugreek makes me want to go back soon.
