Didn't really have time during the trip to go out to eat, so we stuck to the hotel restaurant during our time there. Dark wood paneling and cozy booths made the restaurant a relaxed and quiet place for dinner. I usually make the effort to stay away from veal on general principle, but being my first time in Germany, I couldn't resist the wienerschnitzel with roasted potatoes. The perfectly breaded pieces of pan-fried veal cutlets were meant to be paired with beer. Went with the local brew, of course, a tall glass of dark, malty Diebels Alt Bier. Each cutlet was topped with a slice of lemon and a piece of anchovy, which was a surprise to me but I was told that it's a normal garnish. The meat and potatoes were generously seasoned as it were, and the salty fish almost pushed the saltiness past the scale. Hey, that's why we have beer. Good sign that our German guys ordered it the next night, too, although they got fries instead of roasted potatoes. Would've loved to have some pomme frites done right.
The hotel also offered a free breakfast. The buffet featured an impressive array of breaks, coldcuts, and cheeses. Along with fruit, yogurt, and different sorts of cereal/mueslix. Eggs cooked-to-order, too. Solid way to start the day.
