 We made a trip to the rhine today (basically a walk over the street lol) and had some plaice in one of the few restaurants that still serve traditional german foods.

This is how the surroundings look:












The menu is seasonal, this time of the year it is dominated by local white asparagus and the "Maischolle" (May plaice), a very tender fish. The classic serving is panfried with a slight flour coating or breading, we had ours with hard boiled eggs, a sauce hollandaise and parsley potatoes. A side dish that cannot be missed in German cuisine restaurants is the so-called "Beilagensalat" (translates into side-dish-salad), usually consisting of lettuce, cucumbers, coleslaw, grated carrots, pickled beans and a slice of tomato:


And now for ze fish:




(excuse the strange colouring, we had a table outside, under blue sunscreens)

Here's another "fish" that passed by at the restaurant, the famous Moby Dick:


On our way home, we snatched some ice cream for dessert (coppa amarena on the left, Spaghetti ice on the right):




Enjoy!
