What does the Michelinguide say?








In spring 2009 I visited Alter Meierhof with my boyfriend and his parents. We were staying for an extended weekend including a fantastic dinner at Die Meierei by Dirk Luther.
This was one of my most interesting and quite funny experiences to date. Below you can read the menu

Coquilles Saint Jacques, Gooseliver - Panna - Cotta 

Filet of dover sole with crayfish, papaya 

Braised eel, beetroot and spinach 

Sherbet 

Müritz-lamb with tomato beans 

Dessert of yoghurt, rhubarb and rasberry 

We started the evening with an aperitif and starter in the cozy entrance hall. Here we  had 4 small appetizers on one plate, there was small maki roles, a little gazpacho, fish sticks and sticks with fried vegetable etc. (as I remember) 

Afterwards we were accompanied into the diningroom, which was a very nice room. It was light and we had a beautiful view to the Flensburg Fjord. 

We were placed at a big round table. 

And so the evening really started!  The gentlemens decided the wine and then came the first dish.

I will not deep to much into the dinner, well of course I will - but it sure is a lot of years ago to remember all the dishes in detail. 

In general the whole meal was great! There was a unprecendented attention to the details of the food, and I especially remember  the appetizer before the  "Müritz-lamb with tomato beans" which was a lambstew in a small glass, and in the bottom was a wonderful potatomash. It was a very great dish, but unfortunately (not very 2-star Michelin-like) I had a small piece of plastic in my glass of stew. 

When I look back at the evening I should definitively have said it to the waiter, but as kind as I am I did not..... "BIG REGRETS" 

Well as I said at the beginning it was a funny night, my "table gentleman" (I dunno the exact English word for "bordherre")   almost through his whole glas of wine on the floor when we made a cheers, well all the wine in the glass was thrown to the floor, but luckily his glass stayed in his hand. 

At a 2 star michelin with a lot of "old rich men" it was quite a funny act. 

If I also should mention the service and waiters - they were great! Unfortunately they spoke very little English Everytime a single person rose from his or her chair a waiter was there in a split second pulling out the chair for one, and when you came back your napkin was always folded in a pretty way and lay at the table. 

One other thing I remember was the petit four when I think back - it is still the most amazing petit fours I have ever seen. 

They waiter came with a huge basket or chocolate box - I think the dimensions was approximately 1 x 1 meter. Every single little piece of chocolate had its own box or room, and there were maybe 30 different homemade chocolates to choose. 

It was definitely a great stay and a great evening - I think the whole experience to stay at the 5-star Vital Hotel, have massage and other wellness treatments, swim around in their outside heated pool, eat a great dinner and breakfast at their Brasserie and the last evening have this great 6 course meals.

Die Meierei is absolutely a visit worth taking! 

Kick words

professionel atmosphere - distinct but kind waiters -  beautiful sea view - interesting and beautiful dishes  - 

unlucky accident with the piece of plastic - tasteful dishes - 

I hereby give Die Meierei 4 out of 6 Bloc de Foie Gras, because it was a great evening, but unfortunately the little plastic should make it a little bit disappointing. The staff could have done better - be more personal, friendly and  speak more English.
