Mit Schmackes
Dortmund, Germany
The read// why locals go
Mit Schmackes cooks Westphalian home food in the Kreuzviertel, built on recipes copied out of the owner's grandmother's handwritten cookbook. The kitchen keeps that promise literally: schnitzel in several guises, Himmel & Äd, and a Ruhrpott carpaccio that reads like a wink at the region it comes from. Portions are hearty rather than delicate, and the room works as a Kneipenrestaurant should, with a terrace for the warm months and a guest block that gets rented for family occasions. Eight independent Dortmund sources point here, which for a place tucked into a residential street rather than the centre says most of what needs saying. Mains land in the mid-teens to low twenties.
