Ruhrberger Hof Restaurant

We were recommended this restaurant so were expecting the usual good quality, super German politeness and service, however, we were rather disappointed with our first visit. We arrived around 13.00, leaving time for the locals who always eat at 12.00 midday, but the main restaurant and a side room were still fully occupied. We were seated in a new extension, a bit isolated from the main bar/restaurant area, completely by ourselves. This was a good thing, perhaps, because 1) the restaurant was very noisy and warm 2) we were seated at the huge window overlooking farm buildings and gardens, and we could talk in peace. What we found not so positive were the slow service and average food after such a long wait. Yes, it was Friday lunchtime and they had many guests but we were not brought the menu, just some bread (no butter or oil or anything else). By the time we were able to order we had eaten the bread so had to ask for more with our starters. The main courses were quite pricey and not especially good nor well presented. My asparagus was well cooked and tender but the sauce had no flavour. The cordon bleu was very oily and the pomme frites tasteless. What a shame. The best was the coffee as this was served prompty and very hot. The dessert came an age later! 2.5 hours after arriving we were able to pay. Be aware this "lunch-hour" could possibly be longer than usual.

Very pleasant. There is a good selection and they arrived in time

Overall very good impression, friendly staff and tasty food
