I visited ‘Der Metz’ last Saturday as part of a big group. The service was friendly and efficient, the list of German/Austrian beers is great – however, the quality of the food is appalling.
Being Austrian myself I am embarrassed that this is how German/Austrian cuisine is represented in this part of the world. The portions are huge (almost repulsive) but lacking in every other way. I would much rather pay more for a smaller Schnitzel that is of higher quality, less salty and maybe pan fried? What about home made chips rather than package bought ones? Similar to the Schnitzel, the venison was tough, the Spaetzle dry and the sauce mediocre.
I am saddened to think this is how locals perceive our cuisine.
Great restaurant, good service, but be warned - the meals at Der Metz are HUGE! Definitely take an empty stomach, even one of the "light meals" on the menu would feed a grown man for a day. The full size meals are just that - full size and I mean full size. Excellent value for money and they do not skimp on the quality either. My partner had the chicken liver entree which we ended up sharing, and this was done absolutely perfectly (it often isn't elsewhere). The ambience is relaxing - and very German of course - with lots of beer steins on the walls etc. There was music but it was not obtrusively loud like some places. The wait staff were pleasant, efficient and very helpful. Der Metz is highly recommended!
Der Metz is absolutely brilliant!
The food was fantastic and the atmosphere great. I will definitely be returning to Der Metz again soon.
