Tresznjewski bar + restaurant in Maxvorstadt

Anyone know? It's on the corner of Barer and Theresien str...

tresznjewski

Ahhhhhhhh Thank you!

I can't really recommend them, though. We had reserved for over 20 people, two of them came late and were not let in as one of them had a backpack. The bouncer said he was undesireable. So we left after the starters out of solidarity (the guy with the backpack was a political secretary's right hand man). Arrogant bouncer musta got sacked, coz the manager was begging us to stay. Too late.

They make tasty burgers though...

Great place never a problem.

Great breakfasts! I took my other half there for a surprise birthday brekky one year, and it was great.. was hard to choose!

I was so angry I forget what the food was like. One of the other times I was there I ordered fried potatoes and got deep-fat fried potoates. Not quite the same, especially as Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes) are not the same as frittierte Kartoffelscheiben (deep-fat fried potato slices). But I am willing to give them another try, if they let me in with my backpack.

I've been there with friends at all times of day and night and never had a problem with anyone having any baggage, which they sometimes do have with them. Hopefully it was a one-off.

Um.. Bratkartoffeln aren't fried potatoes, but roast potatoes.

actually they are both fried and roasted potatoes
LEO

I use LEO a lot, but at times we disagree. Now, these sound like great roast potatoes without the deep-fat frying bit. But back to the topic: How do you pronounce Tresznjewski? I tend to say tray-zhn-yeff-skee myself.

Good question.. I say [tres][nyeff][skee] which looks like the same as yours.
PS BrokenM- maybe it's regional, but I've always been served with roast potatoes in Germany /Bavaria/actually Munich Not ordered them anywhere else. Or second possibility - a UK/US English conflict, as I have no clue what to understand under 'fried potatoes'.. I would guess that they are deep fat fried, like potato wedges.

pre-cooked, diced and pan-fried with chunky onion slices and diced sow-belly, maybe add the odd mushroom or so and don't forget the garlic, serve with fresh green salad and a cold beer - good thing it's almost lunch-time

Ah, that sounds like that French potato dish, I forget the name.. otherwise have never seen that style in Britain. Am I just uncivilised, fellow Brits?

I actually do not know cooking terminology that well, that is why I looked on LEO. In my mind when I think of fried potatoes I think of sliced potatoes that are pan fried. When I think of roated potatoes I think of the small oval shaped potatoes that seem to be brown and crisp on the outside...it has always been a mystery to me how they cooked them. However, I never ate either of them at Tresznjekski..

@ UA, acutally, it's the way my American mother always makes them - not French at all. I forgot to mention the fresh marjoram sprinkled on the top. Hey, let's do a 30s+ night there in January and see what it's really like! (makes note in calendar)

In my US cookbook (Joy of Cooking) they're listed as "Franconia (Browned) potatoes".

Back on topic... It's funny how the T-Bar has two doors on the corner and one has a little sign saying "use the other door" but people still try to open that one. I was there with a dork once who told the very cute girls who were pulling on the wrong door: "Lesen muss man können." No wonder he hasn't got a girlfriend. Had he been gallant and opened the correct door for them, he might have gotten into a conversation and who knows where it might have gone, but noooo...

Who wants to date someone who is too stupid to read the signs or doesn't at least try the other door after 5 seconds of pushing and pulling?

oh come on, it's a really small sign, and the door's not blocked or anything.

on pronunciation: [tresh][nyev][skee]
note: the 'r' is slightly rolled and the 'nye' is a nasal sound, stress is on [nyev].
welcome to Polish / Czech spelling. (at least I learned something from my polish ex-girlfriend)

on potatoes: anyone seen proper hash browns in Munich?
