Going out

Posted by Claudia Moser on 10:08 AM in , , ,
One of the most common found social custom in Germany is called Stammtisch, which basically means regular table. It either is organised within family members or with friends. Since I moved here, I was always playing with the thought of organising such a table, with friends for sure, but you need to find the right location. Plus you don't want to spend a fortune on going out, the purpose is to have fun and enjoy the company of your friends.

The search went on, since both Peter and I love to go out and eat, finding new locations, sampling new dishes.

Thus, when one of our friends told us that her husband is making one of his dreams true, somewhere back in my mind I was hoping to find THE place. They opened a new restaurant, called Dalmatino, and yesterday they had the official opening. And guess what? I think we found it! We are already planning to get a couple there in the next days, to see what they think. Slowly but surely, I feel that I find my place in Bad Homburg. And that feels good.

At the beginning you feel a bit lost, you are the new face but with time you meet people, you make new aquitances, you develop friendship, basically your social popularity increases and I know that yesterday was just a small step into that direction.

Some pictures to witness the lovely evening yesterday.

What a great night, this for sure will be repeated. Happy Sunday!

Hello Claudia, It's always nice eating out. The restaurant looks beautiful, I like the interior and decor. Beautiful pictures too, I love the one of the front door with the pumpkins, very cute. Have a lovely Sunday! Hugs x


This looks like a great place to eat. I'm hungry now :-)


This looks like it was a wonderful evening. We have kids in college, so going out has become less frequent.

It looks like you found a wonderful place. Enjoyed all the pictures!


Hi Claudia. That new restaurant looks really lovely. Just the sort of place I really like! I'm glad you feel that you are gradually getting a sense of belonging. It does take time when you move to a new place, and a new country in particular. Lovely photos of the sky, and, like Eva, I really liked the one of the front door with the pumpkins.


@Izdiher - you re right, it is fun!
@Eva - thank you for your comment, the door was really cool!
@Karen - yes, I had carpaccio, then veal with french fries and panacota! And that is a great idea!
@Sarah - sorry!
@Joyce - you can always change that! :)
@Laura - it is a lovely place indeed!
@Diane - yes, getting part of a new society is not that easy.


Never been overseas (Canada doesn't count right?). I know I would like to see Europe some day!


@Mike - well Canada is another country :) you would enjoy Europe for sure, so many countries to see!

That building is beautiful! The inside of the restaurant looks very inviting--I think I'd love it there (especially if we got to hang out with you and Peter!).


@Beth - anytime, just let me know when you will be in Europe :)

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them all!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
