Saddlery and Olbrick are upscale gastronomy

VThe pandemic has turned many certainties upside down, as well as assumptions. It remains to be seen whether this also includes the fact that the constant influx and the willingness to move from rural areas to the cities is a permanent phenomenon. What is certain is that Darmstadt has grown in size over the past few years, and in many respects the municipality is much more attractive today than it was ten years ago. For example in the range of what their restaurant scene has to offer. Two restaurants that are not very old, that are exceptionally beautifully designed and furnished and have a very different but interesting culinary concept and are run by the same people are called “Die Sattlerei” and “Olbrick”. One is a steakhouse, the other a fine dining place.

First there was “The Saddlery”. It is on the outskirts of Darmstadt on Kranichsteiner Straße and is a former rider’s tavern of the Kranichstein estate, which was also called the rider’s tavern until four years ago. There was a potpourri of popular hits of a rather simple hearty cuisine. It’s different today, the “Sattlerei” is a very good steakhouse. The offer is concentrated and intelligently structured; here people have known exactly what they want. The menu features meats from the USA, Canada, Argentina and Ireland in a variety of cuts from tenderloin to dry-aged T-bone steak cooked on the bone; everything can be roasted on its own or in a spice coat.
