Message in a bottle October til December 2011

offentlig gjort onsdag, 26. oktober 2011

Moin moin,

my best buddies from the USA have been visiting me and I showed them around Germany a little bit. Among others, the Oktoberfest and Bavarian cosiness. And now finally back again: Standing at the Baltic and feeling home. Breezing deeply. And absorbing energy for an eventful autumn and winter program in our Birke. My message in a bottle will inform you every quarter now. These are my tips from October through December.

My tip for fish fans: FISCHERS FRITZ FISH MARKET
Market dates: 13.10./ 10.11./ 8.12.2011 starting at 6 p.m.
Mighty fish is laying on our ice buffet, freshly caught from the cutter or delivered from regional suppliers. And you can also find fish from the Northern Atlantic Ocean. You simply choose “your” fish and your favourite preparation style. Either pan fried, grilled or gently cooked, everything will be prepared in the front kitchen of our Fischers Fritz restaurant. Added with regional and seasonal vegetables and potatoes. As starter we serve a variation of sea food and fish specialties and the varied dessert buffet offers a selection of homemade delicacies. You better reserve a table right away: Tel. +49 431 5331 435. 34.50 EUR/person incl. served starter, chosen fish dish and dessert buffet

My tip for bon-viveurs: WINE & DINE No. 30
5^th November 2011 starting at 7 p.m. with Thomas Hensel
Thomas Hensel – a “high flyer” in the German wine scene, close friend to Markus Schneider, is a young wine grower and hobby pilot. He is responsible for the cellar of the family-run vineyard Hensel in Bad Dürkheim, Germany since 1990. He will present 12 kinds of wines to our guests and will offer useful information about wine growing and his vineyard. Our kitchen team will serve a fine 6-course menu with it.

My tip for tradition-minds: St. Martin’s goose

Very delicious! Our traditional St. Martin’s goose. Whole geese from the farm in Bokelholm are grilled and carved at the table by kitchen chef Pierre Binder and his team.

My tip for Nikolaus-fans: Christmas-songs at sunset
6^th December 2011
I’m already looking forward to our Christmas singing with hotel guests, neighbours and everyone else in front of our hotel doors. With punch and Christmas pastries – and maybe some snow flakes? We warmly invite all Kiel inhabitants, neighbours and guests to support our singing!
