"Let's be honest: Although there are a lively, eclectic gastro scene in many major cities, young gastronomy go and dare interesting new paths – and a lively, often student scene thanks them mostly even if you have something to offer – it is not easy in the downhills of the Bergisches Landes to offer a sort of variety during the day. Due to the new building where our department is normally located at the headquarters, I currently work in Ron Wuppertalsdorf. A district with its own, to a certain extent village, small city structure with a small center; there are also specialist shops, “real” butchers and bakers instead of inexpressible cheap chains and of course also one or other gastronomic offer. In the latter, however, it is called “Bonjour tristesse”, but unfortunately only in the sense of the word, the French Riviera from the Sagan’s bestseller had doubtless to offer more than the Wuppertaler Rand at any time. Unfortunately also here the balanced, triste mixture of dönerbuden, pizzerias, comparatively rar sown Take Away Asians and old-baked pubs with corresponding lunch table – sometimes there are among these real pearls, but here on site I have not yet discovered. Thanks to my dear new colleagues who brought me closer to the environment of my new office on some day exploration marches, I quickly had a good overview of the foot-and-mouth disease options to be achieved. The “Dimitra 2” was thought to a pleasant “here many go in the middle of the day, he has a beautiful lunch card with small portions!” the building surrounded “genretypical”, enormously promising barbecue smells in 2000 meters and the writer of these lines spontaneously packed basal joy: “Go to bright, hipster Bento places! The exterior image of the place could not be cliché-laden, representative of thousands of other Greek barbecue temples that you log into a maximally unattractive, inconspicuous 60's multi-family house and the outdoor advertising would not necessarily be "precious" even in a snack bar near the station. During my first visit I had to intuitively track the entrance of the restaurant because it is on the back of the building, I could not hurt a small sign on the street front. the rear entrance After entering I was very amused because a wealthy cowboy came to me in full order and my first thought was "OK, but the local Squaredance Association takes his thing very seriously...". Just a moment later a Neanderthal and a US copy appeared, I was slowly aware that this was not a shrill Wuppertal self-help group, but the carnival now had firm grips with the Rhineland: a four-stage age was strengthened here before an upcoming carnival event and was just in a break when I entered the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is very pleasant to the cliché-laden exterior. First of all, I would like to emphasise how good the air in the guest room is that food odours are barely perceptible and I think that we all know how the wardrobe can smell after visiting a real “old school Greeks”, even if you were only 20 nanoseconds on site. In addition, a tasteful interior design for such a restaurant comes with beautiful details such as the currently unavoidable Retro Edison light bulbs and a pleasant color concept with wood and leather elements. In the background, Easy Listening Jazz sounds from good boxes, the tables are equipped with beautiful wind lights and clean, very high-quality salt and pepper mills, I do not only know in the “Eckgrieche” segment some locals that could and should cut off from one or the other pane Moussaka. I was slightly confused and expected that I was told that I was in the lounge area, which can only be rented separately for events and that one leads me to a sticky guest room that is executed in the most beautiful Gelsenkirchener Kneipen Barock, where the Sirtaki by Alexis Sorbas cult film Dudelts made of cheap plastic boxes in continuous loop. Pappmaschee statues from Greek mythology, on the walls with coarse brushes, fabriated, stereotypical Mediterranean port scenes, with fishing nets and one or other amphores. After arrival, you will be greeted by the boss in the white shirt and again outdated hair as happy as a beloved family member who lost years ago under tragic circumstances, on the way to the table you will almost be renamed by a meat waiter and almost spilled under 30 kilos of Gyros.... “Hello good day, are they alone? Please look for a place where you want...” interrupted a friendly voice my grilled scent of vanished gastro tagdreams, a young man in the cultivated waiter Black White had discovered me and I was quite sure it was not a disguise. I found on one of the comfortable, leather-covered supporters and my view shimmered argwöhnisch through the room, still on the unsuccessful search for fishing nets, Poseidon statues and co. The well maintained card was handed over to answer the question of a first drink with the usual daily desire for a mineral water, immediately a well-cooled Gerolsteiner was transported to the table in the 0.25l gastro bottle and I could place my order. The map again reveals itself as a distinctly cliché-loader than the guest room, all that this restaurant Genre has made so popular in this country is present, seasonal or even day offers are usually found here in vain. In addition to the usual mixed meat plates Pommes Reis Zaziki teuton plates one or the other from the oven and of course also a fish section with the inevitable "from the sea". The “Sea-Ziege” for 16 euros offered there remained in memory and offered an amusing GG vision: I introduced our dear Doc Beermann, who had to appear here for dinner because of a lost bet. Not only that the champagne he wanted was not available for the aperitif, and he and his wife had to come with a very well-cooled bottle of mum: No, also the “soul tongue” presented to him was a third explanation of the dizziness, which was recognized by him with a preferred 10 minutes fire speech, in which the preliminary details of his naval tongue were taken. As my colleagues have already mentioned, there is also a lunch where prices between seven and nine euros will find small variations of the dishes of the evening ticket. From this I chose the “Trikolore Teller” to 8,20 Euro: Gyros, Suflaki and Bifteki with tomato rice and Pommes Frites, and I asked for a stroke of Zaziki, which was listed with “very much my lord” and finally went to the bill with a € 1,50 supplement. After a few minutes the side salad was served and this was positively different from the crowded bunch of herbal salad that is only too happy to be brought to the table in many of these houses. On the bottom a green salad of remarkable freshness, a few fine, halved rings of red onion, on the top fine sprinkled tubule, with a sufficient amount of good vinegar oil dressing with herbs. I was very satisfied with the section was ideally dimensioned and the pleasantly acidic dressing should be accompanied later the main oily Although the restaurant was only visited sparingly, my Hellenic Trinity had waited a good quarter of an hour, but it was quite obvious to like it. Trikolore Plate 8,20€ The grill strips had almost cartoon character, so pronounced and exact these were unusual, an ACME logo on the bottom of the grilled goods that I was still seeking in vain. In addition, the nose also had reason to swarm, the whole fragrance only too ridiculously good, the meat slightly smokey crimson, the pommes smelled appetizing for fresh fat, among these mouthwatering views I impatiently freed the suflaki from his spit and - it happens to me JEDES time - surely burned my fingers on hot stainless steel. And then it should also taste as good as it smelled and looked: the Suflaki tender and juicy, also the bifteki spiced with paprika, garlic and cumin was far from being dusty and was a small high genus along with the creamy, also well balanced Zaziki. Especially to mention is the Gyros that was so excellent that I want to show a photo of my second visit where you can see it a little better. Gyros Beauty Shot : Everything was done at this Gyros. The meat quality was perfect, no fat, no tendons, the texture was excellent. Also because each piece really had a wonderful dark brown roasting layer and it was cut off so carefully that each piece had the perfect ratio of meat and roasting layer. Even if I can't stand quantitatively with the queer GG-Kolleg Manowar in relation to Greeks, I would like to go to this place at noon, positively occupied soul food with many childhood memories. And yet I have to think about when I could swallow such a good gyro for the last time. Chapeau! The Pommes Frites were tasteful only to their good smell, hot and crispy, good taste, like eaten. This also applies to tomato rice, here in particular the natural taste impression, for tomatoes, vegetables, a hint of oregano. But no penetrant notes of convicted broths or – even worse – Vegeta, the Balkans fund, which you like to put in Yugoslavian locals everything that doesn't look like Dessert. The size of the portion was perfect, only the correct amount, not to fall into the coma after eating or to survive the afternoon with a purifying stomach. The friendly waiter asked during and after the food for my satisfaction, offered a coffee and asked if I thought the part was sufficient during the lunch offer, which I would like to confirm. The payment happened this time in cash, I received a real document that I naturally cheated so much for the review this time... and was most kindly passed on: here I was not the last time, so much has been fixed. Conclusion Whoever seeks a good representative of his kind in this direction with acute desire will not be disappointed here. Carefully and with fresh, good ingredients prepared dishes, friends of this kitchen will be happy with certainty. I don't know what I could and would like to give five stars in view of the allegation and price of those I've eaten. The ambience: Outdoor pfui, Indoor hui, behind the house there is also a small beer garden. I feel the guest room as really pleasant, the insulating glass shields the noise of the street very well, as the relaxing music, it may sound pathetic, but it feels like a small oasis in the gray environment. For these four stars the ugly house does not spoil the mood during the meal. Cleanliness perfect, five stars. The service of the attitude accordingly attentive, present and courtesy and has earned 4 stars Maybe you would have named the supplement for the Zaziki at the order what I expected, but I still find it more transparent for the guest. Where Starbucks considers the elimination of additional fees subjugated by the customer as an integral part of his business model, and it is also very popular for this – here we do not want to be small. I feel the PLV well and with it on 4 stars, with the drink and the Zaziki I stayed at just about 12 euros, neither a gift nor a happy, but a fair point landing for the bid. A very welcome lunch option that I will certainly perceive more openly in the next few months!"
