Nostos - Menú

"As already mentioned, during the supposed standstill of the last few months, a lot has changed in the gastronomy landscape and even in my hometown, I could not yet see all the innovations, let alone test. There are two new openings in sight on the room impact, vis-a-vis on opposite sides of the road. They should not compete in terms of content and conception – but they will be seen. The Nostos resides at the Schäferhundeverein in an unspectacular building, to which one can have a more appropriate character. The changing guards of the last few years I haven't all in my mind. Above the regular table level with scavengers and beer, the requirements of the guests were also rarely met. Now at this point, a completely new idea has established itself, which I spontaneously like very well. First of all, congratulations on the extraordinary name for a Greek restaurant, after we have been too often in Mykonos, Acropolis or Hellas. The ancient Greeks among us will be able to translate Nostos immediately – the others may google it. Second recognition for the simple, reserved furnishing without Mediterranean kitsch and blue and white interior. The existing rusticity was taken over by the forerunners and only padded with pale green tavern chairs and tables. The service boys appear agile, ambitious, although perhaps not necessarily from the subject. A menu in DIN-A3 format as a table set is spread out in front of one. There are 98 different dishes. Those who are amazed at the variety of variations and the sometimes overpriced prices will find a statement during the evening. This is actually a Greek tapas bar. Here everyone can build up an x-popular food sequence, add something at any time and like to share with the tablemates. To my taste! The offer includes a variety of pastes, salads, cheese, fish and meat specialties, lots of vegetables and dishes. Small joke with local reference (the Daimler plants are only a few kilometres away): starter plates for several people named “Mezedes Bens”. During my first visit, my accompaniment and I choose: oil-laid black olives with oregano (2.50), which are served in a beautiful green porcelain boat. Baby-Calamari from the grill (8.60 Euro), which are rich in lukewarm and accompanied by creamy chickpea and lens salad. Delicious! Also excellent are the grilled octopus arms (13,90 Euro) with Fava, a kind of humus from peas. Interestingly, a light orange aroma swings along. At the end a plate Graviera (4.80 euros) is ordered – a Cretan hard cheese, garnished with light and black sesame and served with honey. Fine combination! During my second visit, I choose the Keftedakia (5.50 euros), which are not so far away from Swabian meat cubes, as well as the classic Tsatsiki (3.20 euros), which, after my gusto, would have done a little more spice and garlic well. As an unexpectedly extensive, the choice of my fellow esser emerges: the hitherto unknown Cretan Dakossalat (7.20 Euro) has for us most the presumption of Bruschetta with sheep cheese, however, the excessively sharp Zwieback-Brot is not for everyone. All in all, an evening in the Nostos can be the same as a cozy Lutheran journey throughout Greece. And if one takes place on one of the rustic benches in the outdoor area, the training of the German shepherd dogs on the lawn next door can also be admired. A huge covered terrace behind the house offers additional space for larger groups and here you can also watch football during my second visit. As for all locals in the room, there is also a good accessibility by car (free parking), with a Schönbuchbahn or bus, as walkers, hikers, cyclists. I'll definitely be back soon, because I'm still missing some 80 dishes I haven't crossed on the map yet."
