Landlord Sebastian Oulton opens his restaurant in the moated castle and is well received on the first evening.
Taufkirchen – The incomparable ambience of the moated castle also deserves corresponding gastronomy.
This seems to have been successful with the new landlord Sebastian Oulton and his restaurant “Palazzo”.
At the opening last Thursday, the likeable chef from Geisenhausen showed off his best side.
“Do you feel the special atmosphere and friendliness in our house?
For us, hospitality is more than just a word!” he wrote in his invitation and immediately proved this.
The invited guests were just as enthusiastic about the food as they were about the friendly, courteous and fast service and, of course, the new restaurant owner, who, if time permitted, went to all the tables and talked animatedly and openly with his first guests.
These included the two deputy mayors Christoph Puschmann and Manfred Slawny, some local councilors and employees, representatives of the Taufkirchen business community and club chairmen.
Chef Oulton had promised “small delicacies from our kitchen”.
Ultimately there was a ten-course menu that received a lot of praise just visually and tasted fabulous to boot.
“Well coordinated,” said Thomas Engelhardt from Lappach about the “sweet potato soup” or the “Asian shrimp toast with sesame crust”.
The “pork belly teriyaki” is also very good.
And the sommelier, who has been on the gastronomic scene throughout Europe since 1991 and gives seminars for culinary evenings in star restaurants, said of the new restaurant owner: “A likeable guy, he's got something.
This has to get going now.”
The 28-year-old Oulton also gave a short speech.
He thanked the community that made his “dream” possible and his team, because it is no longer a given to have one.
He announced that he also wanted to enliven the moated castle with cultural events and would be the contact person for interested parties.
Puschmann was happy about the new tenant and praised the “first round of culinary art”.
He was pleased that the castle restaurant was now being revived and asked all guests to “thumbs up on all platforms”.
Oulton is pleased that he already has 10,000 clicks on his Facebook page.
Also about the “great response” he got on the opening night.
“It was just a bit much,” some said to him.
But he can live with that.
How great the need, interest and curiosity are for the new castle restaurant is also shown by the fact that the “Palazzo” is already fully booked for the following two days.
The new tenant took over the inventory from Sonja Daimer, who quit as the landlady of “La Barca” in the moated castle at the end of the year.
Her successor only brought in small improvements.
