I'm honestly surprised they reopened this year. I checked multiple times over the last two years whether they were open or had signs of planning to open, with not even a reply to an email I sent, and suddenly it's up and running one sudden day. I'm not even that huge of a fan, it just turned into this weird quest for me as I had mentioned it to others before.
The bread they used to bring was freshly baked (water and flour) unleavened bread. Now it was just store-bought rolls.
Their portion sizes were bigger for what I assume was the same price at the time (taking into account inflation). Also now they bring more carbs, less meat. Anecdotal sure, but true for 2 of the dishes me and my wife tried (lamb shank and rabbit). Which is a shame, because the lamb shank was well cooked.
Their house beer is still amazing and by far the best part of the experience.
All in all 70Eur for a starter to share, 2 mains and 2 beers is not worth it IMO.
Interesting and good to know, thanks! Doesn’t maybe sound THAT bad as many restaurants have taken this kind of minor “downsizing” decisions since the happier times ~5 years ago. Last time I was in Olde Hansa in Tallinn, they had switched all the handmade fragrant candles on the tables to basic ones. That changed the vibe quite a lot :/
