Marktschanke - Osnabrück

We had lunch on a sunday afternoon. The place was mostly empty. The staff seemed fine with that and was relaxing with a drink on their own terrace. My gf had a garnelenpfanne, which was the special. This was quite good. I had the entenbrustsalat, this was really not good. It was a bunch of salad, all of which had brown edges and some of which was deteriorating into green mush. On top was sliced duck breast, which was good. And on the side a berry sauce, which was more like a smoothy of some blended berries. I did not dare eat any of the salad and wondered how they could serve that to us. It also seemed to attract flies. We will not be eating there again. One star for the shrimp pan though.

This is, in our opinion, a typical "Bierstube" with German food above average and to very acceptable prices. Also their wine and beer is priced well under many other places we have been to.The food, which we did have, was very tasty and good. Quite huge portions! This staff were very good and helpful. Their English was very good. Nice place, we will be back!

Super olde worlde pub in the Altstadt. Service very friendly and went out of her way to help me charge my phone

Three guys on a business trip - again. So this was an ideal environment to wind down and de-brief after a long day of business and deals.Couple of beers - Good local ones .... and then reviewed a menu that seemed to be mostly pork based dishes ? I selected a 3 steak (beef tenderloin, Pork tenderloin, and chicken breast) combination dish, which when it arrived at the table looked like it must have been loaded with a shovel !The portions for everything on my plate were huge: Mushrooms in cream sauce abounded, as did green beans (healthy !) and fried potatoes and bechamel sauce (not so healthy !). It all combined into an incredibly tasty local traditional meal which I really enjoyed, but which I just couldn't finish because of the sheer size of all the servings ! The same was true for my colleagues - younger than me and normally blessed with limitless appetites: they couldnt finish their plates either.Our waitress (a saucy, feisty old bird she was ! ) spoke no English, but nonetheless was very patient with my colleagues, who had no idea how to communicate with her ! yet we all managed to communicate our needs and had a great meal (as much as we could eat anyway !)

On a busy Saturday evening and not having reserved a table we we're anyway ordered a table, while other restaurants were more strict and no options were possible. And we we're happy about it, because the atmosphere is very nice and food is a lot (!) and traditional, all for a very decent price. All in all perfect place to go for a good evening meal!
