Das Köstlich-lübeck Altstadt

"At the beginning of 2023, the Lübecker Altstadt once again enjoyed my culinary discovery spirit with a new opening. However, when I read the name The Delicious, it came to me from my excursions to the dependence of the Hanseatic city on the Baltic Sea coast, the famous Travemünde. For a long time, that place has made a good name as a secret tip of local gastronomy, which is not located directly on the tourist mile along the coastline. I also went back to the then very small bistro between the railway station and the beach and could do my positive impressions here as a small report. Already in the beginning of 2022 there was news from the delicious. These concerned a significant increase in the interior offer due to a move in the open spaces at the Atlantic Hotel, which means that the restaurant is now also located on the usual stream of tourists. This move seems not to have caused any damage to the claim. On the contrary, it enabled operators even in times of inflation to increase even further. In November 2022, it was proud to announce that the majority of the Lübeck population in the real core city at Trave would like to convince themselves of its offer and settle for this purpose at Koberg Platz. The Deliciousness in Lübeck's Old Town fills here in the neighborhood of one of the iconic 7 towers of the Hanseatic City, in this case the St. Jakobi Church, the premises of a former Italian restaurant at Hotel Ko15. Although the menu does not differ from that of the Travemünder Stammlokal in its basic festivals, I wanted to explore whether the grounded, but nevertheless handcrafted, good quality in terms of North German classics can also be maintained here. This would certainly provide the owners with a good credit for the many visitors of the old town and the residents here. ; outside view with the terrace. A great advantage over the Travemünder Restaurant is the terrace separated from the large Koberg square, which allows guests to enjoy privacy with a comprehensive view from the Holy Spirit Hospital via the Jakobi Church. Entrance area with small stairs. After entry, unfortunately, a handful of steps have to be taken, to which at least no obvious alternative for persons affected by mobility seems to exist. But it is welcomed by many flowerpots and a wall painting. Guest room with reception table and bar. Paintings cut the walls. The interior in the old brick house has some parallels to the traditional restaurant, which in Travemünde is also funny in a hotel building. Already mentioned wall paintings also decorate the pure white walls of the guest room and appear to show Parisian bistro atmosphere, which should also be set up here with the guests. In addition to a reception table on the right-hand side of the entrance, a bar, even with a small roof, visually mounted on the opposite side, forms the main element next to the numerous two tables. These are, fitting to the floor, held in black. A connection to the white wall basic color and the white curtains in a successful way each forms a bright table runner. Interior with artificial fireplace. Flowers on the tables additionally loosen up the ambience, while an artificial fireplace adds something eagle. According to the restaurant details, up to 40 people have room in the “Costa”. It is also possible to use a séparée that was still closed at this lunchtime, but is furnished in a similar style with another fireplace. The Séparée. On the chairs with leather it was easy to sit during the short time of my visit, which should certainly continue over a longer period than pleasant. All in all, I can only add good things about the design and quality of the interior, which may possibly lead to lack of accessibility outside. While in Travemünde, among other things, the owner couple liked to be personally served, these tasks were put into the hands of an independent crew in the new second restaurant. This day a young man and a woman took care of the service at the guest. Already at the first contact after my entry with the question whether a place would be free for my spontaneous arrival, the Lord met me kindly and openly. The young woman later served my desired food in the same friendly way. In the meantime, both asked attentively about my satisfaction. I could also observe how tables were thoroughly cleaned and re-covered. The service performance was therefore positive in terms of quality. As already mentioned at the outset, the menu is a 1:1 copy of the offer from the Travemünder Restaurant. This is also absolutely understandable, but one wants to offer its concept of the North German classics and grounded dishes in conjunction with a widespread Burger offer here as well. This has already worked in the regular restaurant and should therefore also offer great success for this restart. While the North German Sauerfleisch was still my choice during my first visit to Travemünde, I wanted to devote myself to another well-known classic of Schleswig Holstein cuisine, because with his Labskaus, every restaurant in this area that is oriented towards the ground must be measured. Announced with a garrison of “Danish” cucumbers and fried eggs, there was a price of €6.9 to beech. About 15 minutes after my order, I was able to look forward to the blurred plate image. “Housemade Labskaus to meet served with Danish cucumbers and a mirror egg”. To fried eggs and cucumbers, which were the typical acidic representatives in the cut for Danish hot dogs, some Lollo Rosso, as well as Rotkrautsalat with a creamy dressing, were suffocated. The latter was a French dressing, suitable for the French ambience, in a well-known quality, where I can't say whether it comes fresh from the tube or from my own kitchen. Notwithstanding this, the herbal addition was qualitatively good and thus gave the dish a welcome acidic freshness. Under the immaculately fried fried eggs, in which the still vigilant egg yolk shined visually, the Labskaus “Brei” was often hidden as “unsightly” titulated. The “norddeutsche Ragout” was released. This still hot steaming and strongly colored ragout by red bete juice had to hide. The fleshiness of the here used, still pleasantly granular minced meat came to bear. But even the small potato slices could not show themselves tastefully with a tasteful consistency, as well as small cheered pieces of garned red bete. The ratio of the classical components of the “north German ragout” was really good for my feeling. In the end, this probable portion offered exactly what I expect from a fresh homemade Labskaus without wanting to surprise with any twist. As the service owner confirmed to me, the herring as Matjes is of course also part of the large main food serving, which was obviously omitted with this appetizer portion (which is only to halve it for this purpose, I also felt more like waste. In conclusion, I would like to summarize my thoughts on the Delicious at Koberg in Lübeck's Old Town. The atmosphere in the restaurant is already positively reflected by the Parisian Bistro atmosphere with the large but not excessive wall paintings. Due to the recent opening, there is no shortage of the quality and novelty of the furniture, so that a full score is justified here. The employees were also able to provide a good atmosphere in the service. Both united kindness, attention and thoroughness as you wish. Finally, the culinary part left a positive impression with the Labskaus, which I have made. The optical freshness was confirmed on the tongue as well as the typical taste hoped with its combination of warm cordiness, light sweetness and suitable acidity. The 6.9 € called for this portion were therefore chosen more than fair, especially with regard to the quality, but also the size of the portion and were thus gladly increased with tipping. As numerous as at the Travemünder Promenade, the amount of usual Touri reception restaurants in the Lübecker Altstadt is fortunately not currently. That's why The Delicious in the Coastal District was a particularly recommended alternative for grounded cuisine with quality and conned kitchen crafts. Nevertheless, after this first visit, I would also like to express the new dependence in the core city a recommendation, as positive impressions remain in all areas of gastronomy. Here you will certainly not be flashed, but still with absolutely satisfied mind and belly you will not regret the return."
