Ok, so Ratskeller doesn't sound awfully appealing! but this translates to the cellar of the Rathaus, which is where it is!
The Ratskeller is a huge restaurant (or numerous restaurants?) in the basement of the town hall. It has been here for a number of years, it has a unique decor (our table number was a monkey) and a lot of frescos on the walls...
I got to meet Petra's boyfriend, a lovely guy called Helge (this is a scandinavian name, I had to ask how it was spelt). We had a traditional dinner together after getting the English menu, which came with pictures!
Em had a selection of würst, I had meat which was close to corned beef (but wasn't) with kartofelknödel (potato dumplings) which was yum yum yummy! Both Petra and Helge had a variation of meat mit nudeln... So, now I can't wait to return and try some more Bavarian food, it's fantastic!!
It was so nice to have some time with Petra, and meet Helge, and just enjoy the company; especially as we didn't have as much time as originally planned (our trip was shortened as they moved our flight).
As well, unfortunately the babies (who are no longer babies, they're 7!!!) couldn't make it or dinner. Thankfully, they woke up early the next morning and I got cuddles and a little conversation in English, Greek and German with Felix! And I got to listen to Melina being 'müde' (tired) after her alarm clock kept going off :P I don't blame her...
Ahh, what a wonderful German family I have!
