La Flamme - Hachenburg

This was a return to la Flamme and also this experience was meeting our expectations. The concept is very simple: you can order as many flammekuchen as you want in all different tastes. Twhile it is a simple dish, the variety makes a good meal and it works really well with kids of all ages: they can join the taste of the parents of order their own! Service was good, COVID-19 protocols worked as well and I am sure we will return in future. The only downside is that you need a lot of self control with all the delicious food in front of you not to eat too much!

I found this restaurant through TripAdvisor. Had to make a 20 km detour from my way, but it was worth it. Those flamms is something similar to pizza, but on much lighter base. The choice of adds and tastes is impressive. Prices vary between 7 and 9.20 eur. I took the option „eat whatever you want” for 14,90 eur. In that option you can eat as much as you can, plus you get a salad for free. I ate 3 different flamms and was absolutely full. You can try, it something different than elsewhere. The restaurant has 2 floors, both was constantly occupied, lots of friend groups. Waiters speak english and are very friendly.

It’s true that the flammkuchen is lighter than the pizza and it’s not a pizza. One of the reasons is the thin dough. In this case maybe to thin, and it gives you the feeling to be biting a cracker with stuff on top. That’s why it’s improvable. Anyway not bad and the all you can eat could be a good choice.

Among the few Americans who visit this town, our local hosts raved about it and we found it Schmeckt gut! After so much heavy German food lately, it was refreshing to eat something different, albeit rich, too! The Champigon was best, the Original with its salty bacon next, meats delight, third and Laks fourth..... The dough delicate and crisp, creme fraiche a welcome surprise and the toppings very fresh! I claim to hate French food so I'll say this is the best Ger-ench food I've had.
