Marcel's by Robert Wiedmaier Review

[Environment] The environment is relatively simple. I like the decoration inside. It is European style and looks very comfortable. [Taste] The dishes are well cooked. Each dish is relatively delicate and the beef is very tender.

What a treat. Nice tight menu still enough choice to make the choice tough. I had the asparagus soup which was warm and mouth watering. My wife had a mussels gratin prepared differently and certainly better than she had before. I had the authentic beef schnetizel tan half dish which I bought back home. It was so good and such a generous portion. My wife had a farm chicken which can never be taken off the menu. The chef is afraid of being famous just because of his chicken. It is that good. Don't be afraid chef Robert you are famous for everything you put on your menu. We shared the black currant flavoured cake like desert and had a magical time. By the way the wine is half price on Sundays.

The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy. The staff goes above and beyond what most restaurants in Europe would accept. The food is amazing. Whatever you order will be a pleasure. Dishes like scallops, shrimp, duck, venison, etc. turn your taste buds into heaven. What a creative and talented kitchen.

Time and again, when we return to Matthew's, it meets our expectations - in culinary preparation, presentation and sublime, subtle, nuanced, extraordinary dishes. The service is impeccable. The servers are truly expert, discreet and in tune with the rhythm of the guests/restaurant and cuisine. At Marcel's "we trust - for business entertaining and celebratory meals". Conducive to conversation, the tables are usually widely spaced and the hearing level is excellent - no worries! Particularly memorable were the perfectly seared scallops on bacon diced/mashed potatoes with mustard mayonnaise, finished with Estradilum caviar. The fish and duck entrees were praised almost as highly by our companions. A minor disappointment that we were missing from the dessert roster that evening was a chocolate dulce de leche (dark, please! no white chocolate for dessert) or a seasonal fruit tart. (But we made it anyway!) From a previous visit, some diners may find that if you sit against the wall opposite the restaurant, the draft from the high vents is cold and uncomfortable. We appreciated the complimentary salmon mousse starter while we waited for our appetizers and the lovely little sweets dessert - macro and a lovely start and finish to a very good evening.

We went to Marcel's on Christmas Eve for the tasting menu. First of all, it was great that the restaurant was open at the time. The tasting menu has several options: we had the 6-course meal, which was more than enough. Our server was Jonathan, professional, pleasant and personal. The atmosphere was very pleasant, relaxed and delicate, just like the meals in this restaurant. We had fish/seafood including sole, cod, scallops, mussel gratin, lobster bisque and more. As others have commented, the dishes were a little light on the vegetables and fruits, but they left nothing to be desired in terms of quality, preparation and presentation. The flavors were always delicate, neither too salty nor too greasy, with some surprising ingredients and preparation. The price-quality ratio was also surprisingly good. We would (and will) go there again in a heartbeat!
