Das schmeckt sehr!

German food. It's the ultimate comfort food. Germans know how to make a great meal and they insist on making it from scratch. Darlene said we have to try the Waldhaus restaurant in behind the world famous Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. We decided to start easy, instead of booking the main restaurant, which has limited hours and a menu (and prices) fit for a King, we opted to mosey (there I go with that word again) on out to the Waldhaus Pub. Longer hours, casual dress, an outdoor patio overlooking the scenic Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course and the lovely Bow River valley, near Bow Falls. The menu is not purely German - it's dominated by standard pub fare, but they have goulash soup. Now Darlene has lived in Germany twice in her lifetime, so I feel she is qualified to speak on the authenticity of German food. She claims their goulash soup made her pine for the Fatherland.
