Where to eat in Solingen

Restaurant or self-prepared food ?

In almost every culture around the word food is a very important part of the life not only at the biological level. Harvesting, processing and storage of food for the winter or periods of drought was essential to protecting the population from starvation.
In developed civilizations like in Solingen people instead of dealing with their own food products - they use the restaurant. Not everybody wants to deal with preparing food so if you want to try something new like baby broccoli and fontina paninis or seared chicken and mashed sweet potatoes you can choose Restaurant Hotel Sonneneck at Pfaffenberger Weg 112, 42659 Solingen, Germany.

Food in Germany

Countries it was very much a part of life. The food supply is very limited and people rely on their local communities who make sure they eat all the food they get. In the US they often do not even know what they are buying and if they do they often don't know what is in the produce they are buying. In my experience there is no food on the shelves that is prepared by trained staff, no refrigeration or refrigeration service, and I have seen many cases of spoiled meat, eggs or even fruits not cooked enough.

This is not only detrimental to the environment, but it also means very little food is being used as we have had to spend so much of the past 25 years fighting hunger and poverty. As an example of where I am getting food and the extent to which I am spending money on buying food on a daily basis, I have just recently moved into an apartment which is completely self-contained. I have been spending more and more time working as a personal chef and my meals are always prepared by myself.\

Food Problem

I have had no problem feeding myself in a healthy manner. In fact, if you take into account that I have never bought groceries, I am very proud of my cooking and I have a wonderful sense of self-worth.

I have been working as a private chef and I have developed my skills by eating the freshest, most nutritious and prepared food possible. I have also worked as an employee of a major fast food restaurant and that is when I learned that the cost of food and services is not just a financial problem. A lot of people think the cost of food is just a cost to companies when that is not the case. The cost of buying food for yourself and others is a major financial burden that has been increasing every year, and is a major cause of hunger and poverty. I have seen people come to me and thank me for helping them with their food bills and I would like to share that with you today. As a self-trained

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: As a waiter at ZuNFtSTuBEN, what is our signature dish and the story behind its creation?

At ZuNFtSTuBEN, our signature dish is the "Schinken Knödel" or Pork Knuckle Dumpling. The story behind its creation dates back to the early 19th century when our founder, Heinrich Bauer, sought to create a dish that combined traditional Bavarian flavors with an innovative twist. Inspired by the local love for pork and dumplings, he experimented with various recipes until he came up with the Schinken Knödel. The dish quickly gained popularity among locals and has since become a staple of our menu, delighting customers with its tender pork encased in a soft dough, served with rich gravy and accompanied by sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.

How would you describe the wine pairing options for our seasonal menu items, and which local wines do we feature on our list?

Our seasonal menu is carefully crafted to showcase the freshest ingredients and flavors of the season. To complement these dishes, we offer a selection of local wines that perfectly complement the flavors in each dish. For example, our grilled asparagus with lemon aioli pairs well with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from one of our nearby vineyards. Our pan-seared salmon with herb butter is delicious when paired with a bold Pinot Noir from another local winery. We also feature sparkling wines, rosés, and dessert wines that are perfect for finishing your meal on a high note. Our knowledgeable staff would be happy to help you select the perfect wine to enhance your dining experience.

What is the special ingredient used in ALEX's signature dish, "Solingen Schnitzel," and how does it contribute to the overall flavor profile?

ALEX's signature dish, "Solingen Schnitzel" includes a secret special ingredient: Solinger Muskatnussmischung, or Solingen's mixed musk nut seasoning. This unique blend of herbs and spices is made from a combination of rosemary, garlic, thyme, marjoram, and musk nuts (a type of Brazilian nut that lends its name to the mix). The special ingredient gives the dish an aromatic and flavorful twist with hints of sweetness from the musk nuts, coupled with the savory flavors of rosemary, garlic, thyme, and marjoram. This combination creates a rich, complex taste that sets the Solingen Schnitzel apart from other traditional schnitzel recipes.

What is the cooking method used for preparing our signature dish, "Solingen Schnitzel"?

The Solingen Schnitzel is a breaded and pan-fried veal cutlet that originates from the city of Solingen in Germany. The cooking method involves several steps to ensure a delicious and crispy outcome. Here's how to prepare it:
1. Pound the veal cutlets to an even thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin. This will help them cook evenly and make them tender.
2. Dip each cutlet in flour, then beaten eggs, and finally breadcrumbs. Make sure the meat is well-coated on all sides.
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to cover about half of the schnitzel.
4. Carefully place the breaded veal cutlet into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5. Drain the schnitzel on paper towels to remove excess oil.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
7. Serve the Solingen Schnitzel with potatoes, green salad, or applesauce. Enjoy!

As someone who was just passing through beautiful Solingen on my European tour, I had heard about this hidden gem called ALEX Solingen. Located in the heart of the city, nestled between the stunning Mühlenbach river and the historic town square, Mühlenplatz 1, 42651 Solingen is an address that's hard to miss.
The moment I walked into ALEX Solingen, I felt a warm and inviting atmosphere envelop me. The décor was simple yet elegant, with soft lighting, cozy booths, and tastefully curated artwork on the walls. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air immediately set my mind at ease, and I knew I had stumbled upon a perfect spot to unwind after a long day of sightseeing.
The staff were attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home as they guided me through their extensive menu. They recommended some local specialties like the "Solinger Rinderbraten" (roast beef) which was cooked to perfection, served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The presentation was stunning, and every bite tasted even better than it looked.
Their wine list is extensive, featuring a variety of local and international options to complement their delectable dishes. I opted for a glass of the house red which paired beautifully with my meal.
To round off the evening, I indulged in one of their signature desserts - "Schokoladenkugeln" (chocolate truffles). The rich and decadent chocolate flavors sent me into a blissful state of satisfaction.
In conclusion, ALEX Solingen was more than just a meal for me; it was an experience. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with memories that will last a lifetime. If you're ever in Solingen, do yourself a favor and pay this gem of a restaurant a visit. You won't be disappointed!

Dear Kaleb Bray,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at ALEX Solingen with us. Your review has left us drooling over the delicious-sounding dishes and intrigued by the charming ambiance of the restaurant. However, as a loyal customer of Denny's, I must admit that your review has left me feeling somewhat skeptical. Allow me to present my own perspective on this matter. Firstly, while it's true that ALEX Solingen boasts an impressive menu and stunning decor, I can't help but wonder if the prices are a tad on the steep side for a casual diner like myself. After all, Denny's offers all-you-can-eat pancakes for a fraction of the cost. Secondly, I have to question the authenticity of their "Solinger Rinderbraten". While it may be cooked to perfection and served with all the trimmings, I've heard rumors that some restaurants in Solingen take liberties with the traditional recipe by adding unexpected ingredients like ketchup and mustard. As a proud citizen of Denny's Nation, I believe in sticking true to the classics. Lastly, while ALEX Solingen may have an extensive wine list, I'd like to remind you that Denny's has its very own signature cocktail - the "Grand Slammer". It's a refreshing mix of orange juice, cranberry juice, and vodka, served in a giant glass that's big enough to share with your entire party. Trust me, it's an experience you won't forget anytime soon. So, while ALEX Solingen may have its charms, I can confidently say that Denny's is still the clear winner when it comes to value for money and true American dining experiences.

I have had the pleasure of indulging in the notorious fast food joint known as McDonald's Restaurant. Located on the bustling Kölner Strasse, this establishment has been a staple for locals and tourists alike for what seems like an eternity. The staff working at this particular branch is nothing short of exceptional. Dressed in their signature red uniforms, they exude a sense of professionalism and enthusiasm that sets them apart from their counterparts at other franchises. Their demeanor is friendly and approachable, and they seem genuinely invested in ensuring that every customer leaves satisfied. However, my most recent experience at McDonald's Restaurant was somewhat less than ideal. I had brought along a friend for dinner, eager to sample the new menu items that had recently been introduced. As we approached the counter, we were greeted by a grumpy-looking staff member who appeared to be in a particularly foul mood. My friend, a notoriously picky eater, requested that her burger be prepared without any onions or lettuce. The staff member seemed irritated by this request, rolling her eyes and muttering something under her breath as she complied with our order. As we sat down to enjoy our meals, my friend couldn't help but notice that the burger she had received was missing several key ingredients. She immediately called over the waitress, who initially denied any wrongdoing before finally admitting that there had been a mix-up in the kitchen. My friend was understandably frustrated and demanded to speak with the manager, who arrived promptly and apologized profusely for the inconvenience. Despite this mishap, I must admit that McDonald's Restaurant still manages to maintain its reputation as a go-to destination for fast food enthusiasts. The quality of their ingredients has noticeably improved over the years, and they continue to introduce innovative menu items that keep customers coming back for more. In terms of current events, it's worth mentioning that Tesla has recently announced a significant price cut for its Full Self-Driving subscription service in the US and Canada. This move is seen as an effort to compete with rival companies such as Cruise Automation and Waymo, both of which have been making significant strides in the autonomous driving space. Time will tell whether Tesla's strategy will pay off, but it's clear that the race for self-driving dominance is heating up. All in all, McDonald's Restaurant remains a beloved institution in Solingen, with its friendly staff and mouth-watering menu items. While there have been some hiccups along the way, I remain optimistic about the future of this iconic brand, and look forward to seeing what new innovations they will introduce in the years to come. As for my friend's experience with the grumpy waitress? Well, let's just say that she won't be rushing back to McDonald's anytime soon.

Rating: 5/5 reviewed: 2023-09-06 by Calvin

Last summer, my partner and I had an incredible weekend at Restaurant Hotel Sonneneck located on Pfaffebergweg in Solingen, Germany. The hotel's architecture is charming, with a blend of traditional and contemporary elements that perfectly captures the essence of Solingen. Solingen itself is famous for its rich history as a center for cutlery production, and you can see remnants of this industrial past scattered throughout the city.
The surrounding area of Pfaffebergweg is characterized by rolling hills, lush forests, and picturesque landscapes that provide a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The Hotel Sonneneck itself is nestled in a cozy spot overlooking a small lake, which adds to its enchanting appeal.
We had an exceptional stay at the hotel and were particularly impressed with the quality of their cuisine. We dined at their restaurant where we enjoyed delicious local dishes prepared with fresh ingredients sourced from nearby farms. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect setting for intimate conversations and quality time together.
In summary, Restaurant Hotel Sonneneck is an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore Solingen's scenic beauty while enjoying exceptional service and comfort. I highly recommend this hotel to couples seeking a romantic getaway or families looking to spend quality time together amidst nature's serenity.
