| - Here it comes, a German writing a review about a German business in Canada! Okay, it's not solely German, more European, but I'd say mainly German.
They do have a lot of imported German, Dutch, Polish and Scandinavian food, so if you are planning on making a special dish or just craving some special food from this region there is a good chance you will find it here, at a high price though, which is okay because it is imported. Okay for most of the things, selling Nivea Deodorant that is available at so many stores in Calgary for twice as much is not okay in my opinion, but I don't want to get lost in details.
In case you were not able to bring back the German clock your grandma keeps talking about, because your suitcase was already stuffed with beer mugs, you will find one at this place. They not only have food but lots of other stuff, like magazines, books, music, videos... go check it out!
They have a café as well and sell home cooked food, so we had dinner there. The roulade was good, the red cabbage is okay (not the best but not bad either), the potato salad is very plain and has nothing in common with the German one except for the potatoes. They serve it warm; I never had or heard of warm potato salad before. And it just tastes very different and not good (at least to me). The beef and barley soup was good, but you had to search for the beef. The spicy Bratwurst tasted more like the German "Mortadella" with lots of spices, but not like a Bratwurst.
For dessert we got some cake, apple strudel and a poppy seed cheesecake, 6 bucks a piece! The apple strudel was a thin slice and it just wasn't good, at all. And it tasted old as well. The cheesecake was better. They make it with "Quark" which to me is the real cheesecake, so I was very happy about that. The taste is good in general, but it had an odd taste to it, which sometimes can come from the poppy seeds I think. This piece was a decent size. But I still think that 12 bucks for two pieces of cake (not a big fancy one) to take home is just too much.
To sum it up: they have a big and good range of products, just stock up your wallet a bit more before you go there. The food they cook/bake themselves was a little disappointing to me, but I am not saying "don't go there"! Go check it out and decide for yourself, because a lot of people like it a lot.
I will probably go there again to get specific things, but I am most likely not going to be a regular customer, as much as I would have liked that...
