Jesuiter Hof - Königswinter

Nice building, covered outside terrace with wine overhead, cosy internal atmosphere. Mostly regional cuisine, local and own wines.That was the good part. No choice of beers at all, only wines, can be understood, and yet questioned. The majority of the wines are sweet to semi-sweet, making the choice difficult. We settled for a dry red wine and a Riesling, also dry. The dry red wine was, as to be expected, of the brighter colour as can be expected by a German red wine. The taste to be determined by the (fashionable) 'barrique' taste, alas, not. It wasn't 'wine', it was 'barrique'. The Riesling was a tad diffident, though fresh, and fitting to a summer evening. And yet not what you could expect from a Weingut, für close to 20 € per bottle. Both types with metal caps, no corks. We so happend to order 5 portions of goat camembert on home-made Mango chutney (no. 316 on the menu). What we were served was the goat camembert with 'homemade' (not sure if it was) tomato chutney from the blackboard.. We kindly asked the waitress, who jumped as us "This is what you ordered, 316!!". Any visual inspection would have confirmed the tomatoes. Never mind.With respect to the main courses, the most convincing was the seasonal Salat mit Pfifferlingen (chanterelles). The also seasonal Zander was said to be good, as well. The guests who had ordered their steaks 'English' and 'medium' got their plates mixed up, which was found out much too late, and only after both had commented to us that their meat wasn't exactly of the states as requested. Almost finished, we decided to leave everything as it was. Nobody came to offer deserts, and when they came, with a single menu, they didn't bother to ask about coffee (not mentioned on the card), so we had to call the waitress again to find out verbally about their choice of coffee. The seasonal parfait was recommendable. Likewise - as to be expected by now! - the difficulties to obtain a digestif. We settled on the one 'of the house' with the name of 'Jesuit'. It was relatively mild, that's okay, though of a deep yellow colour and some undefinable taste. Okay, I agree, I have no idea how a Jesuit is supposed to taste. For a Weingut, I had rather expected some pomace. Though I don't see how that could turn out yellowish.? I found it difficult to chose between 3 and 4 stars overall, but settled on three, considering the rather elevated level of prices.

Enjoyed some grest Organic and homemade food along on their cozy patio. Wines are excellent and come from the family's winery. Foot walking distance to town, ferry and Drachenfels. Would come here again.

Not the cheapest, but honestly priced and good portions, friendly service , and take credit cards and nice terasse

A lovely place for a meal. A good, diverse menu when compared to nearby restaurants (most only seemed to have 4-5 things on the menu, which is difficult when travelling with pickier eaters. They had English, German and (I think) Dutch menus, which was useful, although we still had to order in German, but that's easier with pointing when you know what you're ordering.Nice, smiling staff. Had a lovely evening, so thank you.

Planned to eat here on the 8/08/215 for a Birthday surprise, but it was all closed up! Did look as if its closed down.. did look other days but if defiantly looked shut.
