"“Jo, mir san mi'm Radl do...” we could have singed on our bike tour from Heringsdorf via Bansin, Ückeritz, Stubbenfelde, Kölpinsee to Loddin and back. Almost 50 km have come together, in the evening our hunger is correspondingly great. We're sneaking for Deftigem. On the way from the apartment to the beach we regularly pass a hotel complex on the Heringsdorfer Eichenweg. Upstalsboom – Hotel Ostseestrand stands on the signs in the house. The hotel offers food in a restaurant and in a bistro. We decide for the bistro tonight. The hotel with bistro and restaurant is located directly on the water. Both locals have an external gastronomy along the primitive mile. Because it has become somewhat cooler, we prefer the guest room in the bistro of the terrace. We enter – and are surprised: a mixture of coffee house and genre library. Brown and red tones dominate: brown parquet flooring, brown wood carving columns, a large brown bookshelf, brown wooden tables, red wallpaper walls, cozy red-claw armchairs and under the bookcase a contrasting green bench. This is very cozy. After the bike tour, relaxation in the comfortable armchairs is good for us. Four stars for the ambience. When entering the “Culinary Library”, as the hotel calls the Bistro, we are greeted by a friendly middle lady. She serves us in the evening, is very versed, attentive and friendly. You know she's doing her job. When asked, she gives information about the food, asks if we like it and if everything is right. She has the “store” alone and exemplary under control. Four and a half stars for the service. The Service Lady gives us the menus and gives us enough time to choose our dishes. Regional and good-bourgeois dishes are mainly offered. My wife decides from a rich range of carvings that differ in the supplements for the • carving “Dracula”, a carving with frits or salad and with garlic and chili (12.90 €). I decide for the daily offer on a table in front of the bistro: • Currywurst XL with french french fries and salad supplements (8,90 €). As a drink we take a Grauburgunder: • Grauer Burgunder Q.b.A., 2016, from the Winzergenossenschaft Wasenweiler (0.5 l, 13.50 €). The wine comes to the table at a temperature. We wait a little, quite suitable for the preparation time of our dishes, and our service is served by the typical German calorie dispensers. Schnitzel „Dracula“ Two nicely browned carvings lie on the plate of my loved ones, framed by well browned frits, a salad set and a Klecks Chili-Knoblauch-Dip. “Well seasoned,” my wife says when she tries the carvings. The carvings are juicy and delicate in meat, the frits are very well prepared, very nice crispy. In the salad set of cucumbers, tomatoes and leaf salad, my wife also finds currants that give the salad a fruity taste. But my wife misses the “Dracula” in the garlic-chili-dip, a kind of spiced mayonnaise. The bathroom could have worn more “fire”. Currywurst XL with frits and salads A long curry sausage lies on my plate under a stroke curry sauce. The supplements on my plate are the same as the supplements on my wife's plate. I also find currants in the salad leaf, my fries are also excellent tanned and prepared. When the curry sausage is cut, I notice that I have a regional variant on the plate. The sausage is not a classic sausage, but a wine sausage, as it is often won as a curry sausage in Berlin. The Siedewurst is for me not the Knaller, I prefer the classic Bratwurst as a curry sausage. But we are on Usedom and here it is served. Who's asking? The curry sauce should have been sharper for me. But it still tastes, beautiful tomatoes and a little seasoned. The serviceman tells us later that the cook takes into account the average taste. Many people don't like it sharply. This time, my wife evaluates her food better than mine. My curry sausage is pretty okay, my wife values her carving with "good", i.e. three and a half stars for food and drinks. We have nothing to do with cleanliness. The guest room is well maintained and clean, plates, dishes and glasses are without a tadel. Four stars for cleanliness. We pay the price/performance ratio to “good”. We were served more than well, and the dishes have tasted us, so four stars. We recommend the Bistro at the Hotel Ostseestrand. As a result we give four stars."
