"Oh, it's just that I haven't written an evaluation here for 3 months. Was it laziness, unlust or lack of time? Most of the time we've been in restaurants we've known for years. There are no significant fluctuations in the quality of food and services. So why should I describe such restaurants several times? In addition, there was a summer holiday, which after the administration of 2 servings BioNTech thanks to Ugur Sahin, could be enjoyed again relatively relaxed. Let's hope this remains. Probably there is a third BioNTech supplement soon. We write Tuesday, 24.08.2021. Yes In the middle of the week, we rarely go for food from lack of time. Fridays Saturdays are actually our favorites. Since we had friends from abroad, it was just in the middle of the week. Ruck zuck had transferred Hasimausi the car 200 meters from Primavera a Merano: spring parked in Merano. In the early evening, the remaining meters passed by the beautiful Laurentiusplatz, where the papal St. Laurentius Basilica is located. In the times of the election campaign before the Bundestag elections, the party regularly takes up politicians from the 2nd and 4th levels to celebrate. This evening I saw only a half of 15, a maximum of 20 green plaques in the square. And what politician in this way we asked ourselves was today's guest of the Greens? Like Annalenchen Baerbock or the Top Frisur model of the Greens, Dr. Anton Hofreiter? Neither. It was the chairman of the Group of the Greens in the Bundestag, Katrin Göring Eckhardt. Come to a city with 355,000 inhabitants and a whole 15 to 20 green claqueurs are present. This must create frustration. But you can't show the frustration, because behind the next tree, a journalist with a micro and a camera already sits and listens with the aim of punching the politician into the pan. But good, so everyone has to wear his burden. Although I don't choose green, I already had some sympathy with Mrs. Göring Eckhardt. I have only one election event that I attended about 40 years ago. Two or three sentences later. From now on we went to the restaurant Primavera a Merano located vis a vis. In the lower part there is a beautiful summer sun terrace, which turns into a fully glazed conservatory in the colder season, including a free view of the outdoor strolling audience. Although it is pleasant there in summer, we do not like the relatively narrow seating there. Especially at a business dinner, the neighboring tables get a lot of information live. Ergo usually takes us to the first floor. Unless the terrace is only small, which is hardly possible on weekends. The table was reserved for 4 people. As always perfectly covered. Pleasant feel-good ambience. A warm welcome. As always done by men between 25 and 40 years of age who actually live and implement the term service. Student service e.g. social sciences will not find a job here. The cards were handed. The question of drinks. Quickly there was unity after 4 x gosset, although we have been wishing for years that there would also be alternatives to this on the map. That is why we do not become unfaithful to the restaurant. We come here again and again, because the gastronomic Wolfgang Schmitz understands combining a kitchen from Italy/South Tyrol with German accents. To this end, new creative additions, even lunches for business lunches, are often added. The kitchen greeted with fresh light and dark nut bread, olives for Hasimausi and two herbs dips. We made our choice. The appetizers: For my lady the seafood salad 13,50 Euro For me Scampis and scallops 16,50 Euro The wine lover will surely find something here with the drinks. Loose 10 to 15 open wines are offered and over 100 bottle wines. After all, the Primavera has a vinotheque. The card ends up at a 2008 Opus One Mondavi Phillipine de Rothschild for 290, Euro, which tells me not much as a professional beer consumer. However, I have long since died in awe of de Rothschild, which are now also in the shelves of Lidl and Kaufland. Hope that all the harvesting winegrowers don't slaughter me ideologically here. Mea maximum culpa. For Hasimausi an open gray burgundy, for me lacking cum, a pils. As main dishes: For Hasimausi the Irish lamb cart 26,50 Euro For me a Limousin cattle fillet 25,50 The very cool tempered Gosset Brut was served quickly, the glasses were very generously gifted. Similarly, the gray burgundy then served for my dear lady. The service looks short if, for example, if bread was still desired etc. and served relatively flott the appetizers. Already the optics on the plate of my appetizer convinced. The scampis were well prepared, the scallops tasted slightly nutty, just as my taste nerves so desire. Leaf spinach. Thank God the fruits of the sea were not spilled and drowned with the lobster. Rather, the lobster Saucenspiegel was distributed alongside the marine animals. Thus, the guest determines how much or how little he consumes from this little bit and not the cook in the kitchen. And Hasimausi ? She expressed her full satisfaction over the Calamaris, Scampis, Crevetten, Pulpo and Shells, which this seafood salad wonderfully cried. Also our friends were more than satisfied with the beef carpaccio and the served antipasti. Fast, flotted and canned has been preserved. It was noticeable whether wine, water or beer was missing. Our friends from Brazil tasted the wine from the middle of Europe recognizably well. The service refilled and had always immediately realized that there was an increasing air in my Pils glass. Only Hasimausi acted as a responsible and qualified passenger car driver under the 0.5 Promille limit! NOCH! While we waited for the main courts and chatted about everything possible, I fell down a one that I wanted to report very briefly about a campaign event that is over 40 years behind. At that time, I was a young hopper. Announced at that time was a campaign event in the venerable Wuppertal stadium at the Zoo. The speaker: FRANZ JOSEF STRAUSS. Polarizing multiple Federal Minister with various scandals, CSU Chef and Bavarian Prime Minister. A highly dazzling and controversial political personality, unique in the German post-war period. In the evening the weather was cold and wet. Strauß arrived much late. He was celebrated like a star. How many visitors would probably come today if King Markus Söder of Bavaria would speak publicly here in NRW? Maybe 500 or 1,000 followers? At the time at FRANZ JOSEF STRAUSS there were a total of 26,000 enthusiastic visitors in the stadium at the zoo. Unimaginable today. Well, I changed the subject in order not to be embarrassed to have to discuss with our very sympathetic friends from Brazil about the Brazilian policy of Bolsonaro. Voila, two of the always present waiters served at the same time the four main dishes, each with announcement. Perfetto the service and also perfetto what was recognizable there on the plates. Perfetto went on. The first cut of the beef fillet exactly fulfilled my wishes. Like MEDUIM WELL ordered, the excellent meat from the cattle from the land of Macron was also cooked. Right on the point. Böhnchen and baked potatoes. Not so convincing the Barolo Sauce. However, I was satisfied with it, because my favourite is mostly the pure meat flavour and the pure meat taste that sometimes destroys the one or the other sauce. Conclusion. Very satisfied. A look towards Hasimausi on her Irish lamb carree. Great satisfaction. On her plate the same little as was served on my fillet. My lady explicitly praised the sauce was clear! Our friends wanted to eat a local dish. Mutig I had recommended Viennese calf carvings. With some concern, I looked at how the sliced piece of meat made in Austria was consumed. I reaped a lot of praise. Whether it really caused enthusiasm in the palate or whether it was just courtesy Made in Brasil, I don't know. No matter how, the mood was good. The padrone looked past the table. We ordered the wonderful raw milk cheese selection with grapes and figs. So are we in Marsalla. When the Morand fruit fires, or the Grappa il Merlot, were still very attractive, we decided that the taxi had to be carried out. But not directly after leaving the Primavera a Merano. There is one more reason why we always like to board here. There are several pubs, cafes, one or other lounge, bistros, wine bar and other restaurants in the vicinity of a few 100 meters. Everything from rustic to dense, from sturdy to fine dining. Enjoy this environment best on Fridays and Saturdays. A bit more about this, like the Luise Bar Cafe. So once again from a summer evening in Wuppertal, a spring in Merano. And that always likes. To the stars. For food without if and but 4.5 stars. Service and cleanliness earn 5 stars. The ambience would actually earn 4 stars if there weren't the somewhat cramped terrace. With 4.5 stars the PLV. What we like most emotionally is the fact that we do not have completely covered culinary promises, as unfortunately it has become increasingly common. There is then promised a high-fat cuisine, but then heated in the kitchen convenience food. That's different. Here it is still noticeably fresh and handcrafted carefully cooked."
