Hi to all
Edelweiss
Restaurant
34 E. Ramona
Colorado
Springs, Colorado. 80906
719-633-2220
Lunch and
Dinner Menus are on the website.
Donna and I
are wanderer’s and when we first moved
out to God’s Colorado, we were running around Colorado Springs looking for a martini bar a friend told us
about, Well after many U turns and backups we found this wonderful looking “Gaststätte” Restaurant/ Bar That looks as if it should be in the
mountains Germany . Well it was late in the afternoon and we needed to eat
anyway so we parked the car and went in.
When you walk in to the foyer the atmosphere and aroma is ideal. Had you
not known better, you may think you in
Germany.
Well Donna
and I wanted to dine outside as it was a beautiful day and we sat at a table in
the garden, now this is no ordinary garden. This a place to relax and have a
drink and laugh with friends, The minute you’re here you feel welcome and
comfortable. When we sat down and ordered drinks, a couple came out and in full
Alpine regalia with an accordion singing light hearted German songs, some of
the crowd, and my wife Donna started to sing along in the native German.
Between songs they would walk up to the tables of the people that sang along
and have conversation. It was very enjoyable. Since that day we have been back
many times to eat and sing.
Dinner was
very good I had “Rahmschnitzel’ breaded boneless pork cutlet sautéed and topped
with a mushroom cream sauce, house spatzle and fresh vegetables. $16.95
Donna had “COGNAC
SCALLOP OF VEAL” - Tender veal cutlet sautéed with artichoke hearts and
mushrooms, served with a cognac cream sauce, house spätzle and fresh
vegetables. $18.95.
Now all that
read these reviews know by now that I am not of German ancestry,
So I must
defer to Donna, who is German. I asked
her about the many dinners that we have tried at this wonderful place and Donna
and I have yet to be disappointed. The fair is authentic and the atmosphere is
fun, The salads are good for a lighter
appetite. The appetizers rang from Soup
to sampler plates, Try the Flammkuchen..
“THE FOOD IS
DELECTABLE”
The
combination Plates are a good place to start, if two people order different
plates the couples can share the orders and taste a number of items on the
menu.
If you are
planning to go here to eat< I will suggest that you check the menu on line
and also the map, this place is tucked away in a little street off Tejon
street.
It is worth a trip, Donna and I like this
restaurant and we recommend it highly.
Any and all
