"Finally after some recommendations we did visit this “Gasthof” (cozy nice warm place – more than a pub, but not an upscale restaurant). Located in Balkhausen you have to drive 20minutes from Darmstadt – a trip worth to be made.You are entering a room good for around 30 persons, wooden floor, warm light, stretched bar with beer from the tap, lots of spirits placed around (from different brands of give to the destilles from Staehlemuehle), rags filled with bottles of wine (mainly from the Pfalz).Better to make reservations – sure you will fail when you are strolling by.As it was our first time we went for the surprise menu – 5 courses. And we did mention: please reduce the portions as we like to enjoy nice food served on plates which are not too overloaded.The kitchen greeted us: fine smoked jam, salami with fennel, sundried tomatoes, crème off red beet and onions, olives, housemade bread – so much for small portions.1st course: beef tartar with ice from foie gras. Delicious.2nd course: baked pulpo with sauce from pancetta. Outstanding as the pulpo was thin and tender, the sauce impressive – probably a little bit on the salty side.3rd course: a king prawn served on an estragon sauce. Needless to say – superb again.The main course came with 2 (larger) pieces of veal, served on rice (prepared with cream and safran) sauce of (fresh) morrels.In the meantime – us being the leftover guests in the room – we talked a lot with the chef and maître d’, about his (and his partner / friend – the chef behind the kitchen door) where abouts, the wines from the Pfalz which – by the way – were perfectly matching our menu (served in 0.1l glases), the daily life, the paintings at the wall, the demand and additudes of guests, and so on. Not only this openness and friendly hosting but the service in total gave us a perfect feeling.The menu came to an end with a tarte of chocolate with small pieces of icecream (ginger, pineapple,…). He we missed the pieces with crispy textures.The check surprised us as well: such a menu priced with 55Euro and the wine usually around 6-8E (for 2) – it was the first time in this Gaststube, but we will return pretty soon during the upcoming weeks."
