A bite of the crisp polenta fries uncovers a creamy center, and the pork roulade - really a sausage - is a nice marriage of mashed potatoes and apples.

On the menu are fresh eel soup, pork roulade on red cabbage, braised rabbit, sauerkraut with pork knuckles, potato pancakes, pea puree, plum strudel and chocolate torte.

Three other entree favorites were a velvety filet mignon escorted by a tangle of homemade pappardelle noodles, a roast boneless baby chicken paired with a flavorful duck sausage, and a tasty braised pork roulade encircled with baby butterscotch and French beans.
