"The old town of Wernigerode showed a little brittle during our visit, numerous construction sites compelled certain detours. Also two restaurants of interest in principle had larger construction sites right outside the door, and the service could not guarantee that the construction site noise would not start again. A little further, the “Brauhaus” seemed to be an option, but when it came close, it was found to be a Turkish restaurant that we had no desire. But a few steps further we found the restaurant and guest house at the Nicolaiplatz right at the corner of the Nicolaiplatz, where there was just one free table outside. We took place at this table and found the two laminated leaves of the menu half under a deck. German cuisine with an eastern part, the unavoidable sausage meat was also present here, but we had seen a daily offer on a stand nearer, which attracted us much more: “Schnitzel mit Pfifferlingen und Bratkartoffeln” for € 15.90. A little later an operation came to the table, greeted us and then accepted the order: A large Cola light for Madame (0,4l for 3,70 € and a non-alcoholic yeast white beer for me (0,5l for 4,20 €). The service thanked and disappeared around the corner in the house, then after a short time came out through the door a few meters next to our table and served the drinks. The corona-related one-way control required the staff several additional meters, but the appearance was nevertheless friendly and always present. In view of the day temperatures of about 32 °C, the beverages were partly evaporated before they had arrived properly in the stomach. Accordingly, my white beer glass was almost empty when the operation brought the plates with our carvings. Before I was able to report, she asked if there could be a beer, which I immediately confirmed. And then the food: fresh seedlings in a light cream sauce with some very small bacon cubes in it. Bratkartoffeln, who also deserved this name, with roasting points on each piece, well seasoned and also with bacon. And then the carvings: tender and juicy, not too thick, with a golden brown panting in different dark tones, which slightly leaped away from the flesh. I haven't eaten such a well-made carving for a long time, between this and today's unfortunately widespread specimens from the frituse lay worlds! We both got tired and felt very comfortable there."
