For 14 years, Gunter Völker cooked as a supply group leader for the Bundeswehr – in field kitchens in Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia while war raged on in the Balkans. He then managed German restaurants in Kabul and in Erbil, Iraq.
Mr. Völker, an online review of your restaurant in Hikkaduwa says: “Anyone who has an appetite for German cuisine in Sri Lanka should definitely go to Gunni.” Who in Sri Lanka has an appetite for German cuisine? A lot. Locals who have been abroad before. But also German tourists who have been here for a long time and are slowly getting tired of rice and curry. But we are also not a restaurant where you go every day, but a good alternative.
Doesn’t German food have a rather, well, modest reputation abroad? That’s the typical German problem again. Only in Germany does all this no longer apply. The Americans and the Asians are wild about the hearty Central European cuisine.
