Op de Trapp - Krefeld

Last week I was in Krefeld , and I have discovered this very nice restaurant , very nice room with space and no noise , the food was very good quality , modern , and German . My complimets for your job. The lentils soup...was something special with real flavour, the deer was like a tuna everything was special and perferct

This was a lucky find as we 'd planned to go to a different restaurant before a concert in Krefeld but couldn 't get in. Struggling to find anywhere to eat we waited on the doorstep here until it opened at 6pm and were warmly welcomed and...offered a table outside, which was very welcome on a very hot evening. The outside area is lovely, peaceful and shaded with sun glinting through the tress. Wonderful. On a short trip to Germany this was the best menu and wine list I 'd seen. A bottle of La Forge Estate Chardonnay was ordered and quickly brought, nicely chilled. Delicious. Also bread and cream cheesey dip made with herbs and pink peppercorns for us to nibble, free of charge. We didn 't have much time so just had main courses. One saltimbocca and one onglet (hanger steak). Both were cooked fabulously, the steak quite rare but with a nice dark edge, very tender. And the saltimbocca still moist with crispy parma ham and fresh sage leaves. A similar jus on each plate, a little bit balsamicy, but deep and flavourful. Both dishes were so good we practically ended up sharing our plates. The steak though was perhaps the best I 've ever had, seriously. Excellent cooking. We liked the place so much we reserved a table for the following evening! We weren 't in a rush the next night so had the same white and a bottle of 2006 Chateau Le Temple, again superb. The waiter, a very nice man, seemed surprised that we ordered 2 bottles for 2 people! But he carefully decanted the red and left it to breathe while we attacked our starters. My German 's not good, we both ordered Krabbe , which I thought was crab. Google translate seems to confirm this but we got little shrimp instead. Very nice though, with an avocado cream, all prettily arranged on the plate, and salad in a glass. Not the first time I 've had food served in a glass in Germany. My only small criticism amongst all our food was 2 completely soft prawn crackers stuck on either end of the prawn and avocado salad. Really not a good addition to a plate with such finesse! I tried to constructively point this out. We both had the onglet again for the main course, it was that good. This time we asked for a few extra vegetables, and potatoes instead of the potato dumplings which we 'd had the night before, which they were happy to do. The potatoes were sauteed with a few onions and were awesome. Gorgeous. Once again everything was cooked perfectly. Desserts were great too, we both had ice cream with assorted little goodies. My friend 's selection included basil ice cream which was really nice and went great with the berries. Good coffee too, friendly staff, a lovely place inside and out (raining the second night so we sat inside). Frankly, I 've had some rubbish food in Germany, bland and predictable. Meat, turnips, kraut, that sort of thing. This place was quite different, a welcome change, and a very lucky find. Thank you so much to all the staff and especially to the excellent chefs who really know how to cook. Fantastich. xx

Quieter place to have a wonderful time. we were here with a group of 6 people. we ordered various items and all were satisfied. the lamb was amazing, the carving was great. the wine card is a good choice of Italian weeping. desserts are crazy

It is a beautiful restaurant set up like a dining room. an excellent kitchen and a meal, just so to swarm! recommended at any time.

The op de trapp in linn stands out clearly from the usual German gastronomy. that you walk past the kitchen at the beginning, something strange, but after that you enter either the very fine and cosy rear courtyard or the very pleasantly designed interiors. (for societals there is a large, separable room for up to ~30/40 persons)The portions of the pre- and after-feeding are partly small, but in combination with a main dish more than sufficient - and especially very, very tasty!Although for the small purse, what is there, you should have with approx. €20 for the main course.We are glad that we visited the op de trapp spontaneously and will be happy to come back!
