Mediterran - Wuppertal

Restaurant Mediterran, Wuppertal “Now is the light in the rise, It goes into the new year. Don’t let your mute, It doesn’t stay as it was.” (Friedrich Rückert, 1788 1866) Well, so let’s do it differently. No New Year's Eve in the traditional home, but together with friends and their friends in a restaurant. Wuppertal, 31. 12 2013. 19:00, meeting in the restaurant Mediterran, Friedrich Ebert street 41. 18:50. Carlo Attraversanando and Zerberuz: “Where is the entrance here?” The “Mediterran” is hidden and closed. It is true that one can look into the interior from outside, but how will one experience from looking? Finally, we want to eat there with eight other people. The view from the outside to the inside meets no known faces. Rescue! Trial and Error. Try the wrong door. God protect the smokers! A guest who has fallen victim to tobacco consumption emerges and shows us the way. The first impression: narrow, narrow, improbably narrow, celestial... it's narrow here. Immediately greeting by a nice lady from the service we happen to know from another restaurant. Still tight. The room, more or less a hose, to group a middle gear as loggias camouflaged guest supply cells with bar separation. The ambience is enough for an inattentive, hungry guest who needs to eat quickly. Very little atmosphere. Still, you try. The tables are all attractively covered. The group concerned us is accommodated at a long table on the front side of the room, right from the entrance. After some of the guests are intruded, it looks like Christmas or New Year at Aunt “Trutchen”. Close, tight, tight. But you like yourself and it's very cozy. The crowd of guests arrives with delay. The nice sympathetic lady of the service is replaced by a man who sends tendencies of circus signals. The style is changing: “We know each other, so quickly. Name your wishes!” This is a clear nuance too loud and too distant to me. They only relate to drinks: water, wine, sherry, prosecco. I'm threatening road traffic regulations, so just water! The New Year's menu in 5 courses! The service is not to envy. The restaurant is crowded. 3 service personnel can handle everything, two women and one man. For example, at our table it is not possible to reach every guest. The panne forms the start. The “Bruschetta” with Peccorino and truffle Ravioli in sage butter on Carpaccio are on the table even before the obligatory bread with three painting variants. Mostly the Bruschetta irritates me. She's baked with cheese, so hot!! No sense of taste! Carpaccio of what? There's so little puffed vegetables around? Carpaccio? Slightly sleep, follow bread and spread. Yeah, what are you doing now? I'm sorry. No! No overcoming! I don't like these paint mixtures anyway. „Entenbrust auf Rosenkohl in Pistazien Rahm“, all quite tasty, but my duck breast slices are already fully cooked, Zerberuz can still see a pink inside the meat. It follows: “Seezunge’Involtini” with royal crab in white wine sauce on Beluga lenses” “Pfeffermeat from the calfsal tip on fruity vegetables and vanilla tomatoes, with butter twistingen”. ‘Dessert Mix >Mediterran ≤’ The dishes are easy to judge. They are neatly prepared, here and there a small flaw, in focus, the local flock has offered more interesting and better food since the beginning of the Christmas holidays. This menu can be eaten very well, but it does not prepare any pleasure. Cost point, including drinks: €74.86 per person. Prosit New Year! The old year slips into the garbage can with the leftovers! Right. At the subsequent private meeting before midnight there was a vegetable soup based on a Consommé in private rooms. Delicious! That's what I'm thinking. Conclusion: In this way one in the city center of Elberfeld gets hungry, so if you just want to get tired. I believe that the “Mediterran” has a chance to create a satisfied guest. But I also do not want to mention that apart from me and Zerberuz everyone was quite satisfied. The Mediterranean lands on the medium scale on the performance scale of Wuppertal restaurants that I have experienced. I arrange the kitchen between three and four stars, at the service I tend to a similar rating, for the ambience I forgive two and for the price performance ratio four points, as the drinks are cheap. “The time is ruined. The spider spins in secret tissues. When a year begins tonight, a new life begins!” (Joachim Ringelnatz, 1883 1934)

After 12 years I was back at the Ristorante Mediterran. Reception, ambience, kitchen and service 1A. I will not wait for 12 years and book a table after closing, even if I live 85 km away. I wish the team all the best.

Very delicious food and good wine! The service was always attentive and friendly. We even passed the door and there was a dessert on the house. The restaurant is very small but has its charm. The sea tongue was just delicious. The Mediterranean is not cheap (Sea tongue: 32 Euro, spaghetti with shrimps: 15.50 Euro), but quality is known to have its price.

Very fine, delicious food, great ambience and very friendly hospitality.
