On our way home from the mountains, we stopped to eat lunch at a little German restaurant called The Berliner Kindl. The Berliner Kindl is in the town of Black Mountain. The restaurant is authentically German; a married couple owns and operates the restaurant, and the husband grew up in Germany.
We've eaten here before, and it's always a good experience. You can get sandwiches or an entree such as bratwursts, schnitzel, pork roast, kassler rippchen, served with potatoes and red cabbage. On this particular visit, my husband got a meal and I got the ham and swiss on rye sandwich with chips and a pickle. We had cherry strudel for dessert, and it was to die for.
I love the decor in the Berliner Kindl; it has such a Bavarian look and feel about it.
I love the lace curtains in the window. There were even lace panels on the skylight over our table -- so pretty!
The restaurant also has a small gift shop with all kinds of pretty German items -- love these beer steins.
And guess what? Lynn at Happier Than a Pig in Mud, if you're reading this, I found a girlfriend for Earl!
Isn't she just the cutest Fraulein? :)
As always, thanks for stopping by. I'm honored that you take time to read my posts, and I love your comments. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you for visiting Me and leaving a comment.I want to read all about your vacation.I love getting good ideas of where to go next :) Denise
ReplyDeleteOh I'd very much enjoy visiting that restaurant and pretending that I understand German better than I really do. I can at least read "Good Day!" We had a local German restaurant for many years called the Kornhaus Keller, which my dear German friend Claudi told me basically meant "silo." Well really! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love German food, and I would really enjoy visiting here. There is a Bavarian tavern here (actually two) and one has really authentic food. I like to go this time of year coming up for Oktoberfest. I'd love a vacation such as this one, Denise. One of these days! xo
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit that restaurant, German food is great! Aw, that is one sweet little piggy and I'm sure Earl would comment but he's too busy blushing right now! Happy Weekend Denise:@)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love experiencing the feel of places in different cultures? This would have been a perfect place for me as I so enjoy German food done simply.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very charming place! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. I haven't been on a vacation in a while, so it's nice to do so "virtually!"

I love a good German restaurant and this one looks and sounds great. Visiting from The Tablescaper party. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteDenise, looks like stopping here for a good meal is quite a treat! Cherry strudel has my mouth watering!
ReplyDeleteI love German food, too, Denise. When we were in South Asheville, we ate at the Black Forest restaurant and my hubby and I shared a German platter. We were able to taste four different meats and four sides. We love it and even went back for lunch. They boast of the best Reuben in town and my hubby said it really was. They also serve ItalIan food at this place. You might try it sometime on one of your excursions.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome spot to visit.

Intriguing! I love the picture of the old man with the dog. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, this looks like a fun place to visit with wonderful, tasty food :o) Love the steins in the gift shop.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments on the new pond. We are very fortunate to have had the same dear neighbour for the last 35 years, so there was no problems caused by the flood! The blue bird really needs a new coat of paint - I picked it up some years ago from a garden centre, being blue it caught my eye of course ;o) I think it's a kind of kingfisher, but I still love it :o)
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Hmm..It's good that I am cooking grilled kielbasa and peppers later..this post put me in the mood! :) I love those lace curtains too; they are exquisite!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post. Felt like I was having lunch in Germany. Was just talking to friends today that are leaving on a trip there soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise~ What a charming little place! I love the painting of the gentleman with smiling in contentment with his belly full and a dog on his lap! Earl's girlfriend is a cutie :) I'm hoping we get up to the NC mountains this fall!
ReplyDeleteI love finding a good restaurant. It looks like they had tasty desert offerings too!
ReplyDeleteA charming restaurant, who can resist yummy German food! We have a German deli at our indoor flea market and I always buy schnitzel for dinner from them.
ReplyDeleteThe paintings in the restaurant are lovely, I like the one of man sleeping with his pipe.
ReplyDeleteI love authentic German food and this looks like a very charming restaurant to visit. The girlfriend for Lynn's pig Earl made me laugh! That was so cute, Denise!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming place. Love good German food and thankfully my SIL has German inlaws so they bring it a lot to family gatherings. Yum! So glad you shared this.
ReplyDeleteI love Black Mountain and I'm looking forward to my next visit. I'll be leaf looking next month.

Hi Denise, I enjoyed your tour of the charming restaurant. The decor and atmosphere looked like a wonderful place to experience a good meal and a fun time. It sounds like your trip was very nice. I love taking the scenic route on the Cherohala in the fall. The scenes are spectacular at that time of year. I hope to find the little restaurant next time. ---------- Shannon
ReplyDeleteBlack Mountain is a charming little town. I've been there when attending conferences at Montreat. I always wanted to sight Billy Graham, but alas, no luck!
ReplyDeleteOh my this post made me happy! My hubby and I lived in Germany for three years and miss it so. This lovely restaurant is now on my must visit list.
