Chinese Meal in Breisach Germany

You can't go to Germany without having a succulent Chinese meal and not a bratwurst in sight.

It might seem odd but everywhere I go. I have to find a Chinese restaurant.

You may or not be surprised to learn that there are more Chinese cuisine restaurants around the world than any other type of food restaurant.

1,022,910 places tagged amenity=restaurant with cuisine=chinese.

All of the familiar USA fast food joints combined just don't stack up to a hill of beans compared to Chinese cuisine.

McDonald's,(44,000 globally)
Burger King (19,384 globally)
KFC (31,980 globally)

All of them are small potatoes when it comes to total world food dominance. Or should I say French fries?

And here's the kicker. The Chinese restaurants don't spend a penny on marketing...not a red cent! Not one bean.

Most surprisingly the decor was all hand carved wood panels. I actually got up and felt them to be sure. It must have cost an absolute fortune to decorate this place.

Ganter Beer

I can't remember the last time I drank a beer but this Ganter draught beer was outstanding. It's a local brewery apparently? I had two glasses. 😎👍

All in all a very satisfying meal albeit a bit slow on the delivery of dishes to the table but we were in no rush so it was fine.

Cost about £35 ($44.13) a head not
cheap but not expensive either.

What's your goto restaurant when travelling?

My favourite food country is Italy. It beats France and Germany hands down.

Most people tend to favour the familiar USA food chains until they are persuaded to try something local.

All these food chain brands spend a fortune on marketing! Their products are dubious at best.

The UK is not considered as a culinary hotspot to many people but it has surprisingly good food. If you know where to look. We have plenty of Chinese restaurants too. 👍

Have you ever tried Chinese food in another country? What was your experience?

I tried Vietnamese food in a French restaurant but that's another story.

Key takeaway. Marketing isn't necessary when the product is good.

Taste is everything and Chinese restaurants have been around forever.

Here's the address if you are in the area. It's literally the first town you see on the Rhine crossing.

Mandarin Restaurant (China Restaurant Mandarin), Marktplatz 4, 79206 Breisach am Rhein, Germany.
