Halali

Frommer's Review

Little has changed here since the place was first decorated around 1900, and very few of the staff or its clients would ever want change. The setting is baronial, devoted to a Teutonic version of the Hunt, as its name (which translates into something akin to "Tally-Ho") suggests. Amid high ceilings, solid archways, and a collection of stags' horns, you can order flavorful traditional dishes, including the specialties of the house, terrine of venison and Blutwurst (blood sausage). These might be followed by filet of venison in wine sauce and succulent versions of grilled Bavarian duck, guinea fowl, or pheasant served in either Beaujolais or cranberry sauce, depending on the whim of the chef. Also recommended are ravioli, stuffed with goose meat and mushrooms or with a mixture of ricotta and Fontina cheese; fried salmon with champagne sauce; and gratin of turbot served with mushrooms and white asparagus. A traditional, popular dessert is a warm apple tart with vanilla sauce. Everything is prepared with a definite style and flair. You get very good value here.
