Gourmet Tempel - Nürnberg

We go to this restaurant every year. There was a group of us and we all had the set menu. The food was delicious, it was a shame that we could not do it justice as there was such much of it. Amazing soup and the duck is delicious. The wine we ordered was not great and the service can be slow. It can be very hard to get the attention of the waiters. However overall it is a lovely place and we will always go back here.

Just a short walk from the main train station, good variety of options including vegan, reasonable prices and very good service.

I had the theory, "if I cannot find a restaurant interesting in a city where you are stranger, go to Chinese restaurant as it is almost impossible to prepare Chinese dish not tasty." However, this restaurant made me stop believing that. I had fried noodle. Yes. One of simplest Chinese plate almost impossible to make in wrong way. But, the plate I got had wrong noodle, wrong taste, uncooked vegetable and overcooked polk in it. Unbelievable.

For a closing of business trip, we dropped in this restaurant, not the first time but maybe 4 times. I asked if they have Shao Xing Wine in addition to beer and wine and they brought a bottle of Shao Xing Wine. At first look I noticed it is written in Chinese as Shao Xing Wine I usually drink. I ordered it and they asked how to serve, in hot or cold? I said at room temeperature. They brought on the table. Four people start dringking and everybody says too salty. I felt it too salty, not normal. Careful look at the label, "Shao Xing for COOKING, Salt 1.5%" Oh my god! I never heard Chinese restaurant serves Wine for Cooking. Of course we stopped drink it. We claimed it is for cooking. Chinese waiter just laught and said this is Chinese. Unbelievable!! They charged it. Other foodstuffs were good.

Eventhough this venue is located on the main street of the City Center of Nuremberg, you could stil try your luck to find some parking spaces rite in front of the door. That was one of the reason why I went to this resto.Its written outside something about being an exclusive Chinese Restaurant, n its very tempting to check that out, rite?To me, it was just okay... A bit 'overdressed' and stil doesnt loose the Chinese Image of Kitsch but the food was very nice eventhough a little overpriced for Nuremberger' Standard.The owner has to 'work harder' on them... Its as easy as, if you are paying a certain amount of money you usualy dont spend at such venue, you at least expect to be treated nicer, rite?Last but not least, yes its worth a try as it offers different atmosphere of a regular Chinese Place.
