What makes the Danube Bistro different from other restaurants is that it doesn't limit its menu to food from one country. The menu offers appetizers, entrees, desserts, wines and beers from the countries in which the Danube River flows. Patrons can enjoy foods and beverages from Romania, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Slovakia. I was told that the restaurant's owner, Lubos, is from Hungary.
One of my complaints about western Washington is that there are not enough German restaurants here. My family and I once drove to Leavenworth, Washington in search of the perfect jagerschnitzel. We were disappointed with both the food and the service we received in Leavenworth. On Saturday, we were more than willing to drive to Bellevue, hoping to find German cuisine more to our liking.
Kristina ordered weinerschnitzel. She enjoyed the veal cutlet very much. I ordered the jagerschnitzel. I thought the creamy mushroom sauce covering the pork cutlet was superb. You don't have to drive over the mountains to enjoy fine German cuisine any more!
My husband ordered the Hungarian goulash. Served with white rice and vegetables, bite-sized chucks of roast beef were slowly cooked in a paprika sauce until they were so tender that they melted in your mouth. The goulash was a real hit with my husband.
For vegans, the Danube Bistro offers stuffed cabbage rolls.
For dessert, the restaurant offers vanilla ice cream, homemade apple strudel or creme brulee. We sampled the creme brulee and thought it was delicious.
The Danube Bistro is located 11000 NE 10th Street in Bellevue, Washington. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Prices for dinner entrees range from fifteen dollars to twenty-five dollars. The lunch menu costs less. We are looking forward to going back to the bistro during the summer so that we can dine outside.
