Einstein's Closet
I've heard stories, don't know if they're true, that Einstein kept a closet full of identical dark suits. One less choice he had to make when he got dressed for work. The cafe that bares his name takes the same approach with their meals. Everything I ate in
Cafe Einstein tasted the same - like nothing.
Everything, that is, except the beer. The beer was quite nice and made for a happy diner, food notwithstanding. My German friends make some damned good beer.
The monkfish below tasted exactly like the St Jaques in the first picture. I wondered if there were a factory nearby stamping out different shaped meals from the same underlying food mix.
When I bit into the cheese curd strudel I paused. I looked for the hidden camera. Someone was messing with me.
They were a friendly, efficient bunch. More than I can say for most of my Frenchy experiences, so that's something. The food? No. Not even close.

Well... at least service was good. The scallop does look good though.
ReplyDeleteSo... food wise, I am not missing much?
@Puff Speaks - well, the scallop was the worst of all! Tasted like it floated dead in the sea for a while.

ReplyDeleteI just returned from my trip to Berlin. Did you try the eisbein while you were there? Crazy portion and size. Quite daunting actually. :)
ReplyDelete@Kim - nope, not while in Berlin. But I have a really bad memory of one I had in Prague - I got deathly ill from it.
