Alte Wache - Carte

"We remember: in 2002 the Landesgartenschau Baden-Württemberg and Scharnhauser Park were well known. Those who haven't been on the spot for a long time (as I am) will not be badly surprised at a new visit: the former generous open space is now extensively cultivated, even as an ecological model settlement. Scharnhauser Park has been regarded as a district of Ostfildern since 2006. At the lower end of the long-drawn landscape terrace lies the “Old Guard” in a historically graceful building with a striking whale roof. The area was probably one of the local barracks (now: Nellingen Baracks . Recently, I was a guest at a business lunchtime. You can arrive very pleasantly with the U7 or U8 tram to the Kreuzbrunnen stop and then walk over the road. And the unique area with a view of the landing planes of the Echterdinger Airport invites you to a digestive walk after dinner. The Old Guard building makes a welcoming, secure impression with pretty silver-grey shutters. In summer you can sit very nicely outside, of which the large terrace and the attractive outdoor furniture are still testifying in winter. Unfortunately, we had not reserved and came up immediately upon entering a true wall of Reserved Signs at the tables (this surprising impression came up later explainingly: in the early afternoon an extensive company met for which about three quarters of the entire restaurant area was pre-ordered. We were immediately greeted when entering a service force and immediately “parked” at a small table in the entrance area. There it seemed loud and gracious and somewhat uncomfortable. It is only through persistent demand from my colleague that we were able to translate into a quieter corner. The statement of the service lady that she had offered us the “most popular place” first appeared to me a little daring. The restaurant is bright and friendly in principle, with dark wooden accents and very pleasant lighting. However, the steep exit to the toilets is somewhat crisp. The location of the wardrobe is also somewhat unfavorable, as it is located directly in the entrance to the kitchen – here you can already collide with a stormy service power. The operation is extraordinarily awakened, is somehow under current, and turns out to be a verbal claim. One also felt that the audience was almost only recruited from regular guests, so many personal speeches there were. Both menus and beverages show an up-to-date selection of modernly interpreted classics with quite Mediterranean impact or even Italian interpretation. Very popular is the respective lunch offer, which can be ordered either solo as a dish or as a menu with day soup or small salad (then complete for 9.80 euros). My colleague chose the pork-back steak with rosemary carcasses. The broccoli cream soup on the front was so powerful-sahnig and rezent seasoned. A bread basket with bright Italian white bread and simple butter was served as a greeting from the kitchen. My colleague was enthusiastic about the aromatic potato ants as well as the pork steak, which was refined with dark, spicy paprika strips (almost already Balkans! . My cheese ests were surprisingly lifted off from the ally and mischievous variant presented in the Schwabenländle. They were very sharp in the pan and had the appearance and taste of an omelet. The serving for 9.50 euros was very generous and exceptionally well saturating. During my next visit, I would like to try such wonderful creations as the Filderkraut-Hackfleisch-Strudel for 7.80 Euro or the Burrato on Sicilian oven vegetables for 10.80 Euro. Or the carpaccio of colorful beds and leaf spinach. In any case, the cook deserves a very special praise for its original, modern, nutrient-rich and visually resourceful dishes. The wine map impresses with a selection of well-maintained characteristic wines, also from the region. The bottle Riesling from the JÃ1⁄4rgen Ellwanger winery for 17.50 Euro is also very favorable. For dinner, however, we chose a fresh cola, which was kindly offered in two different sizes (0.3 and 0.5 liter – unfortunately both times served for my taste somewhat too cold. If you wish and ask questions, you should communicate completely openly and directly here, then you will encounter them on the service side with openness and self-confidence. When the vast mourning community arrived later, the two service forces proved great nerve strength and sovereignty. We were served very fast and accommodating. A bit regrettable is the fact that there is no separable space for larger groups. Unfortunately, the noise is no longer good for a more sensitive mind."
