"The “Wein Keller” restaurant (not wine cellar) is called because the owner is called Keller. It is located in a monumental baroque building from the 18th century. Century. A comprehensive professional restoration of the property was completed in 2006. With expertise and a lot of attention to detail, old ceiling beams and door-doors have been reinstalled, broken stone masonry exposed and laid old mosaic tiles in the ground. In today’s guestrooms there were the barn (now the counter area) and eaten in the former “Viehstall”; in the decoration with the included feeding troughs and the fastening rings for the cattle. Today's beer garden was once the cattle farm. The successful original restoration creates a rustic feel-good ambience and deserves 5 stars. Parking is not a problem in Ottweiler. In the immediate vicinity of the „Wein Keller“ you can park for free, for example in the parking lot Weylplatz or town hall. Service: I was very kindly greeted by the “head” of the house, the counter service and service at the table. Since the restaurant was only slightly frequented at noon, I had free table choice and chose a nice place on the window to the conservatory. The service was friendly, attentive and competent. I was able to convince myself in a conversation that I involved the operation. All questions about the history of the house, the foods or the wine map, were answered professionally and confidently. The waiting times for food and drinks were very pleasant. 4.6* rounded to 5*. Food: I found the menu optimally dimensioned. Not too large and not too small, it offers meat dishes of pork, beef and lamb as well as pasta and fish, salads and flame cakes as well as a small selection of tapas. I chose the Rumpsteak with herbal butter, salad and fresh baguette at €15.90. The steak was of very good quality, for my feeling but with approx. 5 to 6 cm thickness somewhat too lushly cut and therefore probably not fried as medium to the point as I love. But the taste was top; it was lean, tender and juicy and with the taste unmistakable by long hanging and ideal ripening. The self-made herbal butter has been great. However, the tasty side dish salad was slightly thick. The baguette came freshly baked and still warm on the table. On request from the service, Baguette was still handed over. Note: The wine cellar also has a well-sorted wine card with very moderately calculated German, French and Spanish wines, the bottle between €11.90 and €25.90 for a CILLERO TINTO awarded with Wein Plus. Unfortunately, I still had to drive and therefore enjoyed myself with a water, a soft beer and an espresso. Conclusion: eating well in ancient venerable walls. I'll be back with the driver, of course!"
