"Silence is not cowardly! I have to contradict a well-known German rock singer from the Rhineland. Silence is or better said means liquid gold! And this gold grows in grape form on the vines this and beyond the nearby border to Alsace. Why do I mention that? Well, in 6. Part of my culinary journey through the South Palatinate, it struck me directly at the geographical starting point of the Deutsche Weinstraße to Schweigen Rechtenbach. There are not only the martial Deutsche Weintor (of nineteen-century golf... and the VDP winery Friedrich Becker, which is highly respected at Spätburgunder sympathizers, but also a wine house, which is pleasantly different from the traditional Saumagen bations of deft Pfalz embossing. The talk is about the Jülg winery, which has been happy for over 50 years with honestly prepared, grounded home cooking. There is a winery behind every good wine room. It was Opa Oskar who, at the time, carved the first wines as a vinophilic autodidact. He built them dry against the then sweet wine trend. The Jülg’s drops differed early from the remaining sugar bottlers in the region. Today, the winery Jülg, which is now being run by the sympathetic son Johannes (created to the opening of the year in the current Eichelmann wine guide, is one of the best of the Palatinate. Burgundy Buddies and Pinot preferentiallers have long appreciated this. Under his aegis there are extremely high-class, very terroir-related scenes, which are regularly given by Vinum, Falstaff and Co. with high ratings and awards. Previously, Grandma Erika stood in the kitchen and briet, while daughter Karin took care of the guests, the by far best roast potatoes of the South Palatinate. Unfortunately, she can no longer do this for age reasons, but with the new chef and former star chef Laurent Durst (former restaurant Alte Sonne in Ludwigsburg , his wife Kerstin and another chef from Wissembourg you could even upgrade the culinary offer of the winery. The proven classics from Oma Erika's kitchen are still on the map. They were only expanded by a few creative accents. Alsace meets Pfalz. “Where, if not here?” one would ask. Laurent Durst and his wife Kerstin finally come from the neighboring region. It was due to the great devotion in the beautifully landscaped courtyard and probably the corona-related inconvenience after the reopening in mid-May that the selection of dishes had been carefully reduced in the summer months. The offer, still printed in German and French, consisted of eight different starters and main dishes. Saumagencarpaccio, caramelized goat cheese and grilled shrimps on marinated tomatoes and plucked salad served as delicately sounding dishes for tuning. The holy Palatinate triviality (Bratwurst, Saumagen, Leberknödel , the daily fish with ratatouille and the mandatory Rumpsteak from the Palatinate Rind, on the other hand, gladly took over higher saturation tasks. When we decided on a warm Monday afternoon to return spontaneously as part of an extensive bike tour, the Mediterranean planted courtyard, equipped with shade-giving umbrellas and well-padded garden furniture was already very well filled. In the courtyard friends from the gastronomy had already made it cozy at the neighboring table. There are coincidences! Then we just sat on one of the next tables and communicated with maximum distance. Ms. Karin Jülg led the service. She had the overview at any time and was probably supported by some younger ladies. We were served flott and soon we were able to delete our cyclist sausage with the first bottle of mineral water (3.50 euros). I would have liked to have enjoyed one of the bone-dry white wines from the Jülg’s cellar, but the way back to the secret Steinweiler was before and at the summer heat, if only the Schorle option had come into question at all. With water, however, I stretched such delicious drops extremely rough and so I practiced in sporty wine tasting. Not even the white-burgundy calcareous marrow that I loved so much found the way into the glass. Not to mention the red wine Cuvée “Les Frères”. But silence is not far away and at the next visit we will certainly load a few bottles of Jülg wine into the trunk. On our table there was a nicely to look at, freshly daunting supplement salad (3.50 euros), which my colleague had tasted for his Rumpsteak (18.50 euros). The Rumpsteak The heat and the effort on the wheel initially suppressed a little my feeling of hunger, which only brought me a Strasbourg sausage salad (8.50 euros together with a few roast potatoes (3.50 euros). The Strasbourg DIE Bratkartoffeln This may seem frugal, but in this combination (and at this weather was exactly the right lunch for me. Especially since the frying potatoes greeted as always sensationally crispy and excellently salted from the small porcelain bowl. Thanks to its refreshing vinegar spice, the sausage salad refined with cheese and extra-fine cut onions also kept all the criteria of home-south food. It was certainly one of the best “Straßburgers” I ever had on the plate. My colleague also praised the meat quality of his plum Rumpsteak, which had the typical flat, German cut and was served in the desired cooking degree (medium). The roasting traces on the roasted teas only seasoned with some pepper and salt allowed to close to a preparation in the cast iron pan. We closed our daily pit stop with a coffee and a wonderful abdominal feeling that sent us stronger on the wheels and on the way home. The next visit to the Jülg’s courtyard is already planned. A lukewarm summer evening with delicious home cooking and even better wines should not be in the way."

"We tested this restaurant which, according to some, was worth the detour.We were disappointed. we took the menu at 54 €/person and frankly the dishes were good, but the kitchen without research. with the meat, the accompaniment was a triangle of polenta on which an apple was placed with its red fruits, a spoon of celery purée and a chaplain with mushrooms. I mean, it's really any. It was missing more than the fagot of green beans! dessert had been announced as a sample of mignardises... it was actually a basic gourmet coffee without coffee! a mistled cream a little liquid, a banana ice ball on a little pie, a mini financier of the size of the first phalange of the little finger, a little something with salty butter caramel and a small sand (size of a piece of €2) on which was laid a small tip of chocolate mousse.As for the wine, we took a new castle from the pope to €48, it was not done at all. The chablis was too expensive as well. In summary, we think that the price of this menu would be more just at 28-30 €, the price we paid is not justified. a this amount, we can hope to get out of the table with a memory of something striking. We won't go back to this restaurant. Maybe we were too much illusion?"

"What a wonderful evening we spent in Bellevue on a Friday in April. We were a bit confused when we arrived, as the restaurant is not in a very attractive location in Wissembourg. But the feeling immediately disappeared the moment we were greeted in a very friendly manner. And this good feeling carried through the entire evening: a very nice atmosphere, great service and really great food. We enjoyed the Menu Decouverte at a sensational price performance ratio, highly recommended! Paired with very good wines this evening was a really successful event!"

"The four stars are due to the Google system, because I can 't enter 4.5. It 's a shame, a bit of precision is lost and you inevitably do the restaurant an injustice. “During the week” there is an extremely inexpensive Menu Bistrot for €25. For the Germans in words: FÜFUNDZWANZIG. Three gears! Here you can get a rump steak without any side dishes... My wife and I had all variations, the photos are just my dishes. Starter: Fresh rump steak tartare in a generous portion, very delicately seasoned with Moutarde à l 'ancien and plenty of capers perfect. Main course Morel crusted chicken breast with French fries. You notice the price and the economic constraints, the crust would of course have been much tastier with fresh morels (in May... but let 's leave that alone). The meat was prepared to perfection, not a bit dry or fibrous. Nowadays, dessert would probably be described as a chocolate brownie with a liquid center. Served lukewarm. 1 liter bottle of sparkling water for €5, piconbière for €4 that 's again inexpensive. Wine list purely French, but covering the most important regions. Calculation fair, the wines are fine. But for something really good you can expect around €40. At some point the landlord has to earn something! It 's unimaginable to see something like this served in a tourist hotspot on the banks of the Lauter. The terraces are less attractive than the indoor bridge over the Lauter you can hardly see any of the idyllic sight."
