I heard rumors about a five dollar goulash and good beer selection.sounds great. anybody knows the exact name and location? thanks from a goulash fiend, who can live off that stuff(if it's done right)ps: are they serving lunch? Thu Jan 03 00:06:40 -0800 2002 0 flo 1 1257054 I think what you're looking for is Cafe Steinhof, on 7th Avenue near 14th St. Owned by the same people who own Max & Moritz. I went a couple of times when they first opened, and was not impressed. Maybe things have gotten better. Any recent experiences? Thu Jan 03 00:15:28 -0800 2002 1257052 0 Nina Wugmeister 2 1257120 I tried Cafe Steinhof for the first time tonight and liked it very much. I started with chicken consumme with thinly-sliced crepes (not noodles). Delicious! Then I had their weiner schnitzel, which here is a thin pork cutlet, breaded and fried with lemon slices on the side. Juicy, flavorful and light. It came with cucumber salad, which is a small heap of marinated paper-thin cucumber slices and roasted red-skinned potatoes. All of this, washed down with draft Jever Pilsener was perfect for a cold winter night. My friend had the Chicken Paprika and thought it was great. Entries are very reasonably priced (mostly in the $10-$12 range). Service was attentive and friendly. One disappointment: no ice cream or sorbet to be had, in spite of being on the menu. Downside: it's cozy and cute but that also means small, crowded and a bit noisy as well. You'll probably have to wait to be seated. (Not all bad, considering you can hang out at the bar.) The music was too loud for my taste, and in spite of the entrance curtains, I found it a tad chilly sitting near the door. Overhead fans helped circulate the air but added to the draft. By the way: no reservations. In spite of all of this I definitely want to go back! Fri Jan 04 22:43:34 -0800 2002 1257054 0 Walnetto 3 1257125 Yes, have to agree. Have been twice in the last couple of weeks and found the overall experience to be fun, the food well prepared, but most of all it felt "real". As in the type of place you'd be apt to go into in a typical neighborhood in Vienna or Munich. Nothing cute about the decor as so many American/Austro/German places are in the US, just down to earth. And the price is right, it's a cafe after all. I too was concerned when reading some the earlier postings regarding this place, but figure they listened to people and must of been working the kinks out. The Goesser beer is terrific. I too agree with your complaint-- the music is too loud. Also they should add Tafelspitz to the menu. What I most appreciate is that they're willing to take a chance with a menu that takes some chances,like blood sausage en croute with salad for eight bucks, which is delicious by the way. All in all a good addition to the south slope. Sat Jan 05 11:56:05 -0800 2002 1257120 0 amusebouche 1 1257058 I'd say Cafe Steinhoff is what you are thinking of. It's at 7th Ave and 14th St. I had the goulash there recently. They have a goulash special there on Mondays (I think...) when the rest of the kitchen is closed. I found the goulash OK, but then again, I'm not sure goulash is really my thing. I tried it there because I had heard it was one of the better things on the menu. My wife had a rosti/vegetable dish that was passable, but again, nothing extraordinary. The beer is very good, however, and the bar is quite a nice place for a drink before or after dinner. Thu Jan 03 09:33:11 -0800 2002 1257052 0 bigskulls 2 1257060 The best place in the Slope vic for goulash/ eastern european food is Milans on 5th Ave and 21st street. They specialize in Slovakian food and the place has lovely food and is remarkably clean and everything costs around 5/6 dollars. They also serve some hard to find Eastern European beers on tap. Order the Slovakian combination plate or halusky and you cant go wrong. Thu Jan 03 10:52:32 -0800 2002 1257058 0 josh lichtman 3 1257100 I agree that Milan's is a great place. I especially enjoy the haluskies. Plus, the owner is a personable fellow who is always happy to answer questions. I hope that more chowhounds give Milan's a try. Fri Jan 04 12:41:56 -0800 2002 1257060 0 Brooklyn Boy 1 1257089 Florence - Best Goulash concoction I know of in the city is the Goulash Soup at Zum Stamtisch on Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, just over the Queens border from Brooklyn. It's exactly like the stew but the broth is thinner and the chunks of meat are bite size. They serve it with a small round loaf of warm, home made rye bread that is perfect for buttering up and dunking in the soup. The caraway seeds of the bread go perfectly with the thick, peppery soup. This is good weather for it too. Fri Jan 04 09:31:26 -0800 2002 1257052 0 Steve Plotnicki
