"Our annual bike tour to the Ratshotel in Haltern am See was over, in the evening we wanted to pamper ourselves in the Council rooms (this year was no report, it was a pleasant evening as 2020, pictures from the menu uploaded on 26.07.21 at 08:30 as information for curious). We always vary the approach. This time we came to the train in Rheine and drove with the wheels to Hamm. From the main station we went to the Lippe cycle path and we wanted to drive about 60 kilometers to holders at the lake. Shortly before 12 o'clock we had started in Hamm, it was hot and slim and after approx. 30 kilometers we approached the lies and the desire for a break, a big beer and some food came up with my wife and me. In Lünen we have never been, the cycle path leads almost in the middle of the city along the lip. At the level of the pedestrian zone we looked around. We noticed a terrace in a beautiful, semi-concrete house in the old town. When we approached, we saw the name: Irodion, a Greek restaurant. Not exactly what you can imagine under a light lunch. We saw the scepticism of my wife towards Greek cuisine, at most once a year, can be made in the year a corresponding proposal for a return. But outside you could sit well, it was almost 2:00, and you wanted to serve us on request, despite the end of the lunch time at 2:30. So we took place under the umbrellas in the Hochwill shadow. A alcohol-free and alcoholic Krombacher was served ice cold and the cards came to the table. The usual and well-known amount of food was offered. Grilled pig, beef, chicken, turkey and lamb with the known supplements. No food if you want to cycle at 30 degrees to 30 kilometers according to holders. But we joined the appetizers. And a selection of cold meze was almost ordered in tapas style. Kalamata pure olives on the plate, that was pretty nasty. Add a oven warm Pita bread with thyme and softened with olive oil. Another dish came into the middle, cold (extra so ordered) filled wine leaves. Also the taste with the warm bread very good. In the end we had ordered a salad plate. Octopus salad. Tasty paprika and carrots, red onion, parsley with a vinaigrette, with small pieces of tender pulpo. Delicious summer kitchen. A young gentleman and a young lady served the food and drinks friendly and attentive. They did that without criticism. Nice lunch break with a light meal, as hoped. And if hunger is greater, then one is on the safe side with a Greek. Grilled plates and meat mountains served on the side tables are visually equivalent to what you want when you come to a Greek."
