Hot Rocks…

On Friday night we finally made it to Die Kartoffel in Ladenburg, a restaurant we’ve been hearing about for a long time but have never managed to visit. We went with the Kalsis. It was a beautiful early fall evening, with just a slight chill in the air.IMG_1433 (654x1024)IMG_1425 (682x1024)

The place is very quaintly decorated in traditional German accoutrement.IMG_1398 (1024x683) IMG_1419 (1024x683)

IMG_1372 (1024x682)The house specialty is raw meat served with a blazing hot stone slab which allows guest to cook their own steak, lamb or pork. IMG_1389 (1024x684)We started with baked potatoes that we excellent, served the way most people like them any way: an amount of sour cream equal to the weight of the potato!  IMG_1380 (1024x683) Manpreet ordered hers with cream of caviar. Very chic, no?IMG_1381 (1024x683)She was so stuffed she forewent a main course. Preet and B ordered nice filets.IMG_1387 (1024x682)IMG_1393 (1024x683)I ordered a mixed platter of beef, pork and turkey. It was very good, but if I had it to do over again I would order the filet. IMG_1384 (1024x617) IMG_1385 (1024x683)We were too way to meat-laden to even think about dessert. B and Manpreet wondered downstairs to see the cozy basement. IMG_1418 (1024x831)We had a great time so I highly recommend Die Kartoffel, although at around 40 Euros per person it is a tad pricey.
