Saturday found us in the mood to eat German food. There is a place in Houston that we have been meaning to try for some time now but we never seemed to find the time. So on Saturday we went to Rudi Lechner's on Gessner.

The ambiance was nice. The decor was typical German-restaurant decor: pictures of the motherland, lots of  beer steins on display, and a great European beer selection. We had to walk through the bar area to get to the restrooms and I liked the looks of their comfortable-looking old-world bar. I would defintely go back to have a German beer at their bar.

Danny got his usual dish: Jaeger Schnitzel. But he proclaimed that it was not as good as our local Lake Jackson German restaurant, the Wurst Haus. I had the cabbage rolls which were fairly good. The mashed potatoes they served alongside were outstanding.

But my favorite item at the restaurant was the bread plate they brought as soon as we were seated. They included some apple-spice bread that I simply couldn't get enough of and some homemade white bread that was excellent also.

On Wednesday evenings they have live music and a full buffet. Perhaps we will go there again on a Wednesday and give that a try.
