"We´ve been eating Thai food from the very beginning of it´s success story about 40 years ago when the first restaurants opened in Germany.Since then we´ve tried Thai food all over the world (mainly in Thailand, UK, Germany)Our amazing summary after half a lifetime: You find three of the best Thai dishes here at the Sukhothai (former Bangkok) restaurant perfectly cooked and even better than in Thailand:Jungle Curry (Waldpaste), outstanding tasty though hot (for unexperienced very hot) and always slightly different in its taste. You rarely find that dish in other restaurants (ingredients are not very common and for most people it´s too hot)Basil Chicken (Basilikum), a bit differently prepared than the usual Thai basil, hot, sometimes very hot, always excellentSoup Tom-Yam-Gai, in many restaurants you might find it either just hot or revealing a one dimensional taste. Here it´s much more, you have to try it once in your life. (If you don´t like it, then carry on with eating pizza and pasta)Most of the other curries and the Thai beef salad are above-average, too.Coktails are also to be recommended, the lunch menu offers a good value for money.Nevertheless the fried starters platter and the Massaman (untypically coming along with pineapple pieces) are a bit disappointing. However lots of people like that "sweet" Massaman here, but we don´t.A much better Massaman curry you´ll find at Freiburg (and of course other cities...), but that´s another story..."

"War heute erstmals -auf Empfehlung- dort, um zu frühstücken. Sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtetes Lokal mit Gegenständen aus der Schulzeit als Deko, z.B eine große aufklappbare Tafel (hier für die Tagesangebote genutzt), eine alte Schul-Landkarte sowie große Aufhänger aus dem Chemie- und Biounterricht. Die Garderobe sieht auch aus wie in der Schule, mit Namen über dem Kleiderhaken. Ich liebe solche Details. Auch die sonstige Einrichtung ist sehr einladend.Der "hauseigene" Hund, ein niedliches kleines Tierchen, bildet übrigens das Empfangskomitee. Muss man schon mögen, aber mich stört es nicht. Zeitweise liegt der Hund auch in seiner abgezäunten Ecke und stört wirklich niemanden, Das wird schon ganz ordentlich gehandhabt.Die Frühstückskarte bietet eine umfangreiche Auswahl. Wir haben uns für die "Doppelstunde" entschieden, ein Frühstück für 2, was nichts zu wünschen übrig lässt. Das leicht angeröstete Brot (ein Graubrot, evtl. Steinofen?) ist der Hammer; ich denke, beim nächsten Mal verzichte ich zugunsten des Brotes auf das ebenfalls angebotene Brötchen. Und ein leckeres Croissant gibt es auch dazu. Hier schaffen sie es auch, aus dem von mir nicht wirklich geliebten Plums Kaffee einen ordentlichen Milchkaffee und einen wahnsinnig tollen Cappuccino brulee (mit caramelisierter Zuckerschicht) zu zaubern. Die restliche Karte liest sich sehr interessant, es werden -mit dem tollen Brot als Grundlage- Pausenbrote für jeden Geschmack angeboten sowie Kuchen und kleine Mittagsgerichte. Das alles ist nicht ganz preisgünstig, aber dennoch jeden Euro wert. Ich war noch lange satt. Hier war ich sicher nicht zum letzten Mal."

"I was in Aachen on a Sunday night staying at the brand new Hampton Hilton just outside town and was looking for a decent restaurant open on a Sunday night. I checked the Michelin guide to see which restaurants were open and then Trip Advisor to see what people recommended. I went on the websites for both places to look at the menus. I had thought about going to the Haus am See but Reuters House was very close to my hotel so I decided to check it out first and after seeing the nice setting and studying the menu I decided to stay there.You can sit outside as it's on a pedestrian street but I chose to sit just inside. I wanted to sit on the banquette and the restaurant manager Mr Creutz kindly gave me a table for four although I was alone so I didn't dare complain about the glass of Sekt being completely flat.I chose the 5 course menu for €55 which I found to be excellent value for money. All the dishes were beautifully presented and delcious. I started with the beef tartar then had the gazpacho which was tasty but I found the portion to be really tiny. Another ladle would probably have satisfied me.I then had the gnocchi which would have been much better without the blood sausage. After that I had the sea bass which was excellent and then I had a mixture of mini desserts which were very good.I had a bottle of white wine and was impressed by the wine prices which were extremely reasonable - 24 euro for a bottle of Gavi di Gavi.So, everything was great but...the Greek waiter needs to get intimate with a bar of soap, if possible in his shower, and buy a good anti-perspirant, one whiff of his armpits was enough to completely put me off my dinner.And Mr Creutz, I hope you will offer me a glass of Sekt the next time I come to make up for the flat one I had.Otherwise, I loved this restaurant, would give it a star and will definitely come back."
