"I don't know what it means that I am so happy; A hostage from old times, it doesn't get out of my mind. (Free after Heinrich Heine had Heinrich Heine let his Loreley poem begin when he had eaten in the “Loreley”? I think so. And cheerful if the food would have been’ he would certainly have been. In the following more! At the beginning of our Coburg stay, the receptionist at the hotel recommended not only the “Maccaroni” (see my criticism of this, but also the “Loreley”. An excellent hint of how to stand out. The “Loreley” is located in Coburger Herrgasse, corner of Rückertstraße. The house makes a powerful impression with its two floors above the ground floor, for which also the long window rows on the first and second floor contribute. The Lüftlmalerei on the entrance front with the hand-painted “Loreley” logo between the first and second floor, which is more than two windows wide, reminds of long past times. In front of the entrance to the inn, a large part of the sidewalk and the headstone paved road is separated as a “beer garden”. Efeuberankte lattices in Kübeln border to the street and bring “greens” to the outdoor gastronomy. Tables and chairs are in beer garden style, the overall impression is well maintained. The impression the guest rooms make is based on a verdict from the corridor to the toilet. A dark brown panelling of the walls, red-padded chair and bench seats, beige, rustic table tops and the otherwise dark-brown seating and furniture fall into the eye – a well-kept and noble overall impression at first glance. It's a very warm summer evening, which is why we settle outside. We've hardly got room, so the service brings us seat cushions for the beer garden chairs. Two late ladies take care of us, not intrusive, but always attentive, friendly and fast. And the question of women who were asked at a suitable opportunity, whether everything is right, especially in food, will also be convinced and satisfied. The menus that one of my wife's ladies and me is enough offer something for every taste. In the main card, meat and fish lovers have an appropriate choice, vegetarians may come too short at just one main dish. Six fish dishes from 12,50 € to 19,50 € with a range of salmon, sea salmon and Zander in various variations and six meat dishes from the pan or grill with a range of shnitzel, turkey steak, ragsteak and various grillades have a number of lush compared to the vegetarian pappardelle in tomato sauce and with parmesan and salad (9,50 €). Anyone who stands on salad can choose from four from 5,50 € to 15,90 €. The “cold kitchen” is represented with four dishes from € 6.50 to € 9.50. Three appetizers (4,50 € to 9,50 € and four desserts (each 5,50 € round off the offer. In a seasonal map, “Current specialties” are offered, including, as an offer extension for vegetarian, two meat-free and fish-free Pfifferlingsgerichte for 13,50 € and 14,50 € and Pfifferlingssüppchen and -salate. The fungus lover can also choose from two meat dishes and a fish dish with whistles (15,50 € to 20,50 €). While we studied the maps, half a litre of Bavarian Helles (3,30 € , a water (2,50 € and a Silvan houseschoppen, not a nameless one, but a “Obereisenheimer Höll” (3,90 € , tuned into the summer evening. We choose the food: – sour roasts by type of house with Coburger clubs and salad of season (13.50 € , – Rodeo-Rumpsteak from the grill with butter beans and herbal butter, with roast potatoes (19.50 €). The light brown sauce, much lighter than the dark brown sauce at the Rhenish sour roast, tastes excellent and has a fine acidic note. The Coburger Klöße – as a city guide has already predicted us during the city tour – are a poem. They're literally on the tongue. Never eat so delicious cookies! The salad is fresh, crisp and consists of various green salads, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes. The dressing tastes excellent, slightly acidic, as homemade and tastefully reminiscent of sour cream. Rumpsteak, as desired medium grilled, is juicy and delicate. The butter beans are prepared with a lot of fresh beans and bacon cubes. For a long time not eating such delicious beans, my better half judges, and that already wants to mean something in the face of their cooking skills. The roast potatoes are crispy, well seasoned, tasty, brown, but not burned. While my wife, after this enjoyment, garnishes a sweet conclusion – chocolate with liqueur and cream (5,50 €, see photo – cannot resist, I am pleased with a raspberry spirit (3,10 €). Two spoons of chocolate ice cream lie on an egg liqueur level and are pleasingly garnished with liquid chocolate, cream and cocoa powder. Cleanliness There's nothing to do here. And after the walk to the toilet, my wife also reports of impeccable cleanliness. The price/performance ratio Good and convincing! Good goods, good performance, all worth the price! The conclusion We both judge the food with five stars. The service is good and has earned its four stars, just like cleanliness and price/performance ratio. The outdoor gastronomy is a beer garden in quotation marks. For this we give three stars, but in view of the outside area we only use. We cannot judge the ambience inside because of the volatile impression of good conscience. Overall assessment: Four stars, a visit to the “Loreley” is worth it!"
