Pomme Frites –The Royalty of French Fries at Poynor's Pomme Frites
At Poynor's, making French fries is serious business. These aren't frozen fries thrown in a deep fryer. It takes 2 days to make these fries taste like they do. They start with a fresh potato, soak it in a secret mixture, quick fry it, dry it, chill it, deep fry it again and serve it up with their unique selection of sauces. Choose from 25 sauces, including:
- The Black Forest Sauce – The house signature. A creamy roasted garlic mayo
- Pffefferkorn - A unique peppercorn ranch
- Bohemian Kase - Warm cheese sauce
- Cuc-koo - A delicious horseradish based sauce
- Curry Ketchup
- Rosemary Garlic Mayo
- Lemon Dill Mayo
- Spicy Pineapple Mayo
- Sweet Chilli
- And more!
With so many flavor combinations, your taste buds will be craving to try more of the flavors offered here later in your trip. You can choose from regular or large serving sizes, allowing you to share as much (or as little) as you choose to with friends and family.
Poynor's Pomme Frites' Absolutely Unique Dessert
Hopefully, you'll have saved enough room for the highlight at Poynor's – its signature dessert, Spaghetti Ice! Italian immigrant Dario Fontanella in Mannheim, Germany invented this dessert, which is model to look like your average plate of spaghetti, in the late 1960's. Although, not well known outside of Germany, Spaghetti Ice (Spaghettieis in German), is truly a sight to behold.
First, your server will run vanilla bean ice cream through a pasta maker, creating noodles of sweet ice cream. Then, a delicious "marinara" of raspberry or strawberry sauce is drizzled over the ice cream noodles. The sauce is then topped with flecks of white chocolate "parmesan." Of course, no spaghetti would be complete without meatballs, so your delicious dessert is topped with chocolate hazelnut chocolate balls. Two gingerbread "breadsticks" accompany your sweet spaghetti treat.
Poynor's also offers fresh baked cookies as well as a special ice cream sandwich made with these delicious fresh baked cookies called the Achtung Landon Slide.
