"This restaurant was recommended to a colleague and me by our German host. It was only a few minutes walk (10-15 minutes) from the hotel to Linde where we were. Note that the restaurant is closed on Mondays. The restaurant is located in a historic old building with magnificent wooden beams and columns. It claims to have been a family business since 1558. The restaurant will enter through a beautiful old courtyard, which would be a cool dark oasis on a hot summer day. Upon arrival we met a coach party leaving the restaurant, so we really did our entrance. We noticed that several tables were reserved, so it is obviously a popular restaurant. We managed to find a table and our order was accepted. In the evening we saw no sign of male workers – all cooking and serving seemed to be done by three ladies who could have been of a family, as we thought we could see face similarities. We were served by a middle woman who first seemed rather brutal with little English knowledge. That's why I quickly picked up my trusting German phrasebook and dictionary and translated the menu and what to say. We were told that the Rump-Steak was excellent, so we both chose this and ordered our steaks as we liked best in our badly pronounced German. However, we ensured that our order was understood by referring to the relevant words! First, we had a salad dressed in an excellent Vinaiigrette. The Rumpsteak came with fried onions and potatoes. It was delicious and cooked for perfection. Very delicate. It was very well washed with a local red wine, full of fruit and with just enough body. We fascinated a dessert and chose something we thought the black forest torr. It was close, but not quite gateway. When we later, in the United Kingdom, told about our experience, there was a better German speaker that a better translation was black forest cups or goblet. Whatever it was. Cream slurries cover a lot of black cherries and ice cream with plenty of liqueur – seriously alcoholic! We were one of the last people to leave the restaurant, and we assume that by the efforts to speak in German, we were warmly welcomed by all employees. The staff had definitely warmed us in the evening. We drove back to our hotel, which enjoyed a wonderful last night on our business trip. We both recommend this restaurant, which also has a separate guest house with about 8 rooms. We will definitely return. The restaurant is a good alternative to the in Karslruhe itself. It is easy to reach this restaurant of Karlsruhe with the tram (S5 line)."
