"Five stars of me for the wine room of the winery house Thiel ! Through a sign in the place and an enthusiastic, but six years old critique became curious, I had reserved a table for two people. Already from the street saw the wine-growing economy? inviting, what proved to be true: two smaller rooms, each with fire-fire; warm stone walls contribute to the pleasant atmosphere, as well as loving, but not overcharged decoration. We have experienced the service as warm, attentive and hospitable, so that we felt well and well looked after all. As usual in such locals, the menu is not very large, but offers here a good selection, starting from small items hand cheese, spun cheese, winery vesper, etc. via various salad plates and flame-cake variations, vegetarian dishes vegetable flakes, potato pans, grilled sheep cheese, etc to meat dishes such as chop steak, pork ridges. Most dishes with supplement costly at about ten euros, a few just above them, only the Rumpsteak costs without supplements 14.50. After having tasted some dry wines during the day, I had the pleasure of some fine grapes earlier: semi-dry or sweet. On request, I could also order 0.1l glasses of riffs, so I shared a kerner, a spice traminer and a Morio pattern with my wife. Variety of taste, different varieties of grapes and the whole range from dry to sweet is exactly what I appreciate in the Rheinhessen area and this is what you get here. The glasses even came with small, handwritten signs that there is no confusion between our wines. Was the whole place with its atmosphere and the good service so far a pleasant surprise for us, gave it now another one, because we got completely unexpected for this type of restaurant, a small greeting from the kitchen: Vegetarian! Schmalzbrot. Sooo delicious! After that I had a wine pan pork ridge steak, onions, smoked meat, tomatoes, mushrooms with roast potatoes and side salad at 12.50. Tasteful and qualitatively perfect and, sorry, saulecker. Everything looked appetizing, the mix of ingredients above the meat was spicy and the crooked frituse? , diced roast potatoes were the hammer. And next time, I also like a dessert, e.g. espresso with vanilla ice cream 2,50 or warm red wine box with vanilla ice 4,90 . This time we stayed with the wine and took some home. For someone who likes ostrich farms, the house Thiel is definitely a recommendation! Only on the homepage of a winery I would expect an overview of the wine offering menu, however, is online ."

"It's just THE classic: drive out to the country to go good food. In our case, in the restaurant Espenhof in Rheinhessen, part of a winery, also with accommodations. Reservation recommended, parking behind the house. Already the wine garden (the beer garden of a winery in the courtyard of the restaurant looks so daunting that you want it to be immediately summer to sit outside. But the cosy-modern interior also invites you to stay. The wooden tables are covered with pair runners and small flower ornaments, the service in the evening is partly shy-retaining, partly too little present, but always absolutely impeccable in handling the guest. The card fits on an A4 page and is therefore also called food leaf. Three appetizers, two intercourses (which can also be upgraded to the main course at an additional cost), five main dishes (calbsbäckchen, pork ridges, ridges, rumpsteak, cod); Prices from 16 to 26€ and three desserts. Three courses may average 40 euros. A five-course menu of 55€ was also offered. First of all, we were given an amuse coat. Nice fresh bread, even different varieties, and three kinds: Greek olive oil (not necessarily my favourite, fresh herbal cucumber and really delicious thyme salt. A beautiful and matching match! Then I chose Duo from the parsley root as an appetizer. Unfortunately this came very shortly after greeting from the kitchen. What was previously described was confirmed here: on fine appearance of the foods is added value. The preliminary soup came in a transparent glass: at the bottom a bright layer, over it a green foam, decorated with parsley. Just as fine in taste. Soft yet aromatic. My main course was pink roasted fried ridges with grießstrudeltaler, currants and beech mushrooms at €26. It's really nice, it's hard. Delicious meat, tastefully good, complementing combination with mushrooms and berries. I didn't even miss a dessert. Because also of the crowd the portions were appropriate for a dinner. Praise also by my wife for freshness, preparation, optics and taste of her food, the arable salad with croutons and the pork back with herbal crust! I felt good at it, it was all fun, was fresh and tasty, but the decisive spark did not want to skip to me in this certainly above-average place."
