"There's something to report about Bad Bentheim. A colleague had reported about the new castle café in Bad Bentheimer Burg and that was positive. And then I always tap the ears when it comes to good experiences in a gastronomic operation. The Ferdinands followed the café in the gate of Bentheim Castle during Corona and opened it again last year. The Easter Saturday evening was still unavoidable, the weather promised to be good and so I finally discussed with my wife the plan, a bicycle tour for a dinner in Ferdinand. Reserved is easy with a tool on the HP, the confirmation email reached me shortly after. So it went back to Bad Bentheim for dinner by bicycle from Rheine. Shortly before 6 p.m. we arrived there, and as you climbed the back of the hills, you stand in front of the castle of the princess family Bentheim and Steinfurt. It lives in Steinfurt a beautiful water castle and is sometimes also in its castle on the Bentheimer Höherücken. The facility is certainly always worth a visit. Large parts of the castle complex are open to the public against entry. The gate house and the atrium can be entered without an entrance fee and, as already said, there was always a café in the gatehouse. Bicycles are placed at the bottom of the road, then the steep headstone pavement road goes up to the arc. High Heels should wear woman first. If you cross the bow, go to the beautiful terrace that is on the left side of the gatehouse. This was not a theme for dinner at 6:00 p.m. on April 16th, 2022, because in the shade and therefore too cold. We turned the door to the guest room. Conveniently, the rooms were renovated inside and renovated with a sophisticated country house style. This could please, through the windows a lot of light fell into the room and it was nicely bright. The tables for 2 to 6 people define the upper room at the bar. Our second table was right on the window that looked at the courtyard. From our table we could look at the so-called princess gardens, a part of the castle complex that you cannot enter as a visitor. But in this garden there is a kind of cultivation of Ferdinand. A staircase goes down, then you are in a kind of winter garden, whose large depth windows open into the garden. Many guests can also be hosted here. The room also serves as an area for larger celebrations. We are set up at our table, there is a wardrobe only in the garden. In any case, my question was answered afterwards, which was not a reason for the service to accept our cabinet and hang it on the hook. So I went on the way, and woman looked into the map. Back to the table we were first ignored and I could follow the shift change activities of the service team. We were told sometime and we could order our drinks and food. Maintenance of the ordered was then done very quickly and the service took care of us the next night. Water was ordered and a Rheingau Riesling was served by Schumann Nägler. Cooler for the Ferdinands Edition of this very gentle cabinet (my arrangement) without large corners and edges. An exceptional appetizer department does not offer the card, we shared a flame cake. Lachs called. Lachs Crème fraiche spring onions Dill should be on it. The dough probably Convienience, but no one expects a restaurant with the claim of Ferdinand that he is made himself. It is important that the kitchen a little attention to the above. The map of Ferdinand also offers some very exotic variations of flame cake, which was too much for us, so it became the one with fish. All that was advertised was found in acceptable quality on the dough. We were happy, but we wanted some creative appetizers for the future. The kitchen should that if you consider the following main dishes as a scale. My wife had ordered Rind, Entrecote Irish Hereford Dry Aged, with fat eyes 21 days Dry Aged, potato gratin barbecue vegetables recommended the card to your choice. Which woman so ordered when she explains during the cycling trip from Rheine to Bentheim really wants to have a good piece of meat. But I also looked really good at what I saw. Gargrad medium was hit and the meat was sufficiently ripe, I was allowed to cost. The Potato Gratin was really great as a supplement! It's nice to have a cook with something different than pommes. Gratin was tasted with cream, salt, pepper and lots of nutmeg. And also the other supplements could please. Also on my plate there were really good grapes and vegetables. Bentheimer Herb Brewurst, Grobe Herb Brewurst vom Bentheimer, Landschwein Grillgemüse potato gratin from the classic part (big word, if you were a year) of the card I had dictated the young lady in her block. And even though I saw my wife sneak with pleasure at eating her entrecote, I didn't have to regret my choice. That was a very well selected coarse herbal sausage! In combination with the delicious supplements, an equally delightful dish from the kitchen of Ferdinand. We were satisfied after the two main courts. Who is not saturated as we can choose from a few desserts. This hasn't happened to us anymore. We have closed with a Gin Tonic, the selection of the bar is well sorted. From Tanqueray came the two gins, once the Rangpur and once the Flor de Sevilla, cast with the very clean Tonic Water by Thomas Henry. Then we went through and I can draw a little conclusion. The newly designed ambience is very well managed and offers a pleasant atmosphere. When the service has changed its layer, it acts concentrated and attentive. Enough the staff is there, even though the majority of them seem to consist of secondary servants. This can be a problem (but it does not have to) if the routinely trained restaurant specialists are required for a reasonable service at/beim guest. Our visit night gave no reason to complain until the beginning. The kitchen had delivered neatly, the selection (up to missing appetizers), quality and dishes were good. Why shouldn't we go back? Definitely in summer for an evening on the terrace. The view to the south of Münsterland is very beautiful."
