Meating with Friends — a concentrated, premium Fleischtasting in Speyer that builds to a Kobe-beef finale.
In Speyer, Meating with Friends is an intimate, three‑hour gourmet tasting that stages a curated progression of premium cuts — from Dry Aged selections through Flap Steak and Onglet — paired with wines, beers and nonalcoholic options, and capped by an unforgettable Kobe‑beef surprise. The format invites lively conversation: every guest tastes, rates and debates each course, making the evening as much about collective judgment as it is about individual flavor.

Kobe beef as the closing revelation

Paired drinks and guest ratings drive the conversation
Each meat course is accompanied by selected wines, beers and nonalcoholic beverages, and guests receive evaluation sheets so that tasting becomes a collective, opinionated ritual.
