As you step into Weinhaus Neuner, you’re immediately struck by the beauty of the space. They have an amazing selection of wines to enjoy and a nice range of food options.
As we entered the dining room, we were immediately aware of a very loud American family. As they were finishing up their meal, they decided it was time to have a really loud, open discussion, sharing their ill-informed opinions on world history. A lot of who could have and should have done what, when, and lots of things that I would have thought deserved a quieter dialogue, in a less public space. Thankfully a local young man, who looked like he was out on a big date came over to the group and asked if they could keep their voices down and views to themselves. I wouldn’t have said it as politely, so I am glad he was there. His date seemed impressed, and so did the other diners.
Glad that the pre-dinner theatre was over, we settled in and ordered our food. They gave us a little amuse-bouche, a cold tomato soup in a small glass with some basil. It was simple and delicious.
For mains we went with the:
Monkfish Medallions - I liked the flavours of this dish and the texture of the fish.
Viennese Veal Schnitzel - a good traditional schnitzel, with some potato salad and some cranberry–horseradish cream.
We also ordered the Weinhaus Neuner Specialty, a Truffled Chicken Fricassee under a puff pastry lid. All the mains were good, but this was a definite winner. Was just a cool presentation and great flavours, the chicken was very moist.
For dessert we shared two of their options: a Bavarian Cream with a basil sorbet and the Oven-fresh Kaiserschmarrn for two. A traditional dish of shredded pancake with raisins, almonds, vanilla ice cream, and apple compote. The menu lets you know it will take around 25 minutes to prepare, but that was the perfect time to let dinner settle.
Aside from the wines, they also had a homemade elderflower lemonade that was delicious. The staff were lovely and knowledgeable about wine pairings for the food. The food was traditional, but elevated and we all really enjoyed our meals.
The place has a decent reputation, and I am glad to confirm if you are wanting to try some good quality German cuisine and love a good wine list. This is worth trying.
