Gaststätte Old Church

The restaurant of the Landhotel Klingerhof two miles away, our base, was closed and the receptionist recommended the Old Church in nearby Haibach, a pretty village in the valley below. It was almost full, and that at 7pm on a Sunday evening - a good sign! The place looked quite authentic, an impression re-inforced by the realisation that many locals were eating there. A friendly young waitress brought us a quite extensive menu in German only and we opted for a carafe of what we were told was a dry white housewine at a moderate price whilst we perused it. Neither of us found the wine dry and it was exchanged for another one without fuss, this time dry. I opted for the onion soup. My wife wanted a small tuna salad as a starter and sensibly suggested we should order our main course later, having seen the size of portions on other tables. My steaming soup arrived first, served in a big bowl; just as well it was so hot that I had to wait because it took some time for her salad to arrive. A starter salad? It was enormous, very fresh and delicious!Outgoing diners had to pass our table and we noticed that nearly all had a ‘doggy bag’ – it seemed to be taken for granted that most would be defeated by the amount of food and cardboard boxes to take uneaten food home were provided as if it was a matter of course.Our first course would have been enough but I felt a bit guilty, ordered some more wine, then agreed with my wife that we would order a Wiener Schnitzel (her choice) to be shared between us. A large plate with two schnitzels, French fries and salad arrived. We just could not do the contents justice (the food tasted fine!) and managed to eat just about a quarter between us. I had to explain to the waitress that there was nothing wrong with the food – on the contrary – and she immediately asked if we wanted a box to take the rest with us, an offer we declined.For two sizable first courses, basket of bread, a gigantic main course and ¾ litres of a very acceptable house wine the bill came to 34 Euros!...This was quantity paired with quality at a give-away price!

Wir waren aufgrund eines Krankenhausbesuches in Aschaffenburg und auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant und sind zufällig auf das Old Church gestoßen. Nette Bedienung, super zuvorkommend, perfekter Service... Sowas ist wirklich nur noch selten. Gute Deutsche Küche, große Portionen, sehr lecker... Und das zu wirklich mehr als akzeptablen Preisen. Wir leben in Niedersachsen, ansonsten würden wir öfters kommen! Nur zu empfehlen!!!!!

Das Essen war wirklich gut ist allerdings gut bürgerlich. Wer lieber kein Fleisch isst findet eher wenige Gerichte. Ich bin allerdings davon überzeugt, dass das super freundliche und zuvorkommende Personal, offen für alle Speisevariationen ist. Sehr netter Abend.
