Das Köstlich-lübeck Altstadt

"At the beginning of 2023, the Lübecker Altstadt again enjoyed my culinary experience with a new opening. However, when I read the name The Delicious, it came to me from my trips to dependency of the Hanseatic city on the Baltic Sea coast, the famous Travemünde. For a long time this place has made a good name as a secret tip of local gastronomy, which is not directly on the tourist mile along the coast. I also went back to the then very small bistro between the railway station and the beach and could make my positive impressions here as a small report. At the beginning of 2022 there were news from the Delicious. These concerned a significant increase in indoor supply through a movement in the open spaces at the Atlantic Hotel, which means that the restaurant is now also on the usual stream of tourists. This movement does not seem to have caused any damage to the claim. On the contrary, it enabled operators to increase even further in times of inflation. In November 2022 it was proud to announce that the majority of the Lübeck population in the real city of Trave would like to convince themselves of their offer and settle for this purpose at Koberg Platz. The delicious in Lübeck's old town fills the premises of a former Italian restaurant at Hotel Ko15 near one of the iconic 7 towers of the Hanseatic city. Even if the menu in its foundations does not deviate from that of the Travemünde tribal, I wanted to find out if one can maintain the grounded but handmade, good quality in relation to North German classics, which is just at its price. This would certainly give the owners a good answer to the many visitors of the old town and the residents here. A great advantage over the Travemünder Restaurant is the terrace separate from the large Koberg Square, which allows guests to enjoy the privacy with a comprehensive view from the Holy Spirit Hospital over the Jakobi Church. Entrance area with small stairs. After entry, unfortunately, a handful of steps must be taken which seems to exist at least no obvious alternative for persons affected by mobility. But it is welcomed by many flower pots and a wall painting. Guest room with reception table and bar. Paintings cut the walls. The interior in the old brick house has some parallels to the traditional restaurant, which in Travemünde is also funny in a hotel building. Already mentioned wall paintings also decorate the pure white walls of the guest room and seem to show Parisian bistro atmosphere, which should also be set up here with the guests. In addition to an optically lacquered receiving table on the opposite side, a rod, also with a small roof, forms the main element next to the numerous two tables. These are, fitting to the floor, held in black. A connection to the white wall base color and the white curtains in a successful way each forms a bright table runner. Interior with artificial fireplace. Flowers on the tables additionally loosen the ambience, while an artificial fireplace adds some eagle. According to the restaurant, up to 40 people have space in the “Costa”. It is also possible to use a séparée that was still closed at this lunchtime, but decorated in a similar style with another fireplace. The Séparée. On the chairs with leather it was easy to sit during the short time of my visit, which should certainly continue over a longer period than pleasant. All in all, I can only add good things about the design and quality of the interior, which may lead to lack of accessibility outside. While in Travemünde, among other things, the owner pair was gladly served personally, these tasks were put into the hands of an independent crew in the new second restaurant. Today a young man and a woman took care of the service at the guest. Already at the first contact after my entry with the question whether a place would be free for my spontaneous arrival, the Lord met me kindly and openly. The young woman later served my desired food in the same friendly way. In the meantime, both asked attentively about my satisfaction. I could also observe how tables were thoroughly cleaned and covered. The performance of the service was therefore qualitatively positive. As mentioned earlier, the menu is a 1:1 copy of the offer from the Travemünder Restaurant. This is also absolutely understandable, but one wants to offer its concept of the North German classics and grounded dishes in conjunction with a widespread Burger offer. This has already worked in the regular restaurant and should therefore also offer a great success for this restart. While the North German Sauerfleisch was still my choice during my first visit to Travemünde, I wanted to devote myself to another well-known classic of the Schleswig-Holstein cuisine, because with its Labskaus, every restaurant in this area that is oriented towards the ground must be measured. Announced with a garrison of “Danish” cucumbers and fried eggs, there was a price of 6.9 € to beech. About 15 minutes after my order, I could look forward to the blurred record image. “Housemade Labskaus to meet served with Danish cucumbers and a mirror egg”. To fried eggs and cucumbers, which were the typical acidic representatives on average for Danish hot dogs, some Lollo Rosso and Rotkrautsalat were suffocated with a creamy dressing. The latter was a French dressing, suitable for the French ambience, in well-known quality, where I cannot say whether it comes fresh from the tube or from my own kitchen. Notwithstanding this, the addition of herbs was qualitatively good and thus gave the dish a welcome sour freshness. Among the flawless fried eggs, in which the still vigilant egg yolk shined visually, the Labskaus “Brei” was often used as “unsightly”. The “norddeutsche Ragout” was published. This still hot steaming and strongly colored anger of red bete juice had to hide. The fleshiness of the minced meat used here, still pleasantly tolerated, came to bear. But even the small potato slices could not show themselves tastefully with a tasteful consistency, as well as small baked pieces of boiled red bete. The ratio of the classic components of the "North German Ragout" was really good for my feeling. Ultimately, this probable part offered exactly what I expect from a fresh homemade Labskaus without wanting to surprise with any twist. As the service owner confirmed to me, the herring as Matjes is, of course, also part of the great main food that was obviously omitted with this appetizer part (which is only to halve it for him, I also felt more like waste. Finally, I would like to summarize my thoughts on the Delicious Koberg in Lübeck's Old Town. The atmosphere in the restaurant is already positively reflected by the Parisian bistro atmosphere with the large but not excessive wall paintings. Due to the recent opening, there is no lack of quality and novelty of furniture, so that a complete score is justified here. The employees were also able to offer a good atmosphere in the service. Both combined kindness, attention and perfection as you wish. Finally, the culinary part left a very positive impression with the Labskaus I have made. The visual freshness was confirmed on the tongue and the typical taste that was hoped for with its combination of warm cord, light sweetness and suitable acidity. The 6.9 € required for this part were therefore chosen more than fair, in particular with regard to the quality, but also the size of the part and were thus gladly increased with tilting. As numerous as at the Travemünder Promenade, the crowd of the usual Touri reception restaurants in the Lübecker Altstadt is not up to date. That's why The Delicious in the Coastal District was a particularly recommended alternative for grounded cuisine with high-quality and preserved kitchen crafts. Nevertheless, after this first visit, I would also like to express a recommendation on the new dependence in the core city, as positive impressions remain in all areas of gastronomy. Here you will certainly not flash, but still with absolutely satisfied spirit and belly you will not regret the return."
