Balduinkeller - Sankt Wendel

The Balduinkeller belongs next to the Magdalenenkapelle and the inn to the Ochsen, both in the immediate vicinity, among the most beautiful and rustic restaurants in St. Wendel. The restaurant is located in a historic building from the middle of the 18th century. Century. A tour through the restaurant takes you back a few centuries to the time of the restaurant's name, the Trier Archbishop Balduin of Luxenburg (1285 – 1354). rupture stone masonry, partly roughly plastered walls, which the St. Wendeler painter Klaus Riefer has beautifully painted. The ambience, as I have already described, can hardly be surpassed by attention to detail and originality. Food The well-sorted menu includes soups, salads, toasts, cold dishes and steaks also classic Saarland cuisine such as stuffed with bacon cream sauce and sour wort or Lyoner – panties with roast potatoes. Today I chose the Rumpsteak with herbal butter, fries and salad at 16,90€. Add a mineral water to 1,60€ and a Sauvignon blanc 0,2l to 4,50€ and as Verdauerli a Malteser Aquavit to 2,50€. All ingredients were used fresh and of impeccable quality. The supplemental salad was a bit sweet, but the steak was perfectly roasted to the point medium, juicy, tender and very tasty. Good 4 stars for the kitchen. Service not always satisfactorily, especially if the place is well visited, you have to wait for food and drinks for a disproportionately long time. Conclusion: very good grounded cuisine in rustic, stylish ambience. But for larger groups my recommendation: “reserve a table and, above all, eat something”.
