See inside the “Aldi restaurant” where 3-course meals cost $12
<p>If you could get a three-course meal for €8 ($12), would you ever cook at home again? That’s the question on diners’ lips after Aldi opened a new restaurant offering dishes made from its own produce for about the same price as a takeaway pizza.</p>
<p>The budget dining experience, opened by the supermarket giant in Munich, Germany, changes its bistro menu each week, offering shoppers the opportunity to try before they buy.</p>
<p>“In the middle of the city centre in Munich, we not only create a central meeting place for everyone, but also give our customers the opportunity to try out delicious recipes and take them home,” Aldi spokeswoman Sandra Sibylle Schoofs told <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/aldi-opens-restaurant-serving-three-11395070" target="_blank"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Mirror</span></strong></em></a>.</p>
<p>And it seems the old adage, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” doesn’t apply here. In her review, blogger testthebest1807 described the food as “really tasty and the waiters were also very friendly.”</p>

<p>She listed chicken breast on zucchini gnocchi, Alaskan salmon fillet with mustard sauce on cucumber salad and tortellini with rocket foam and walnuts among the main course options.</p>
<p><strong>As you can see in the gallery above</strong>, the German supermarket giant has also created a stunning dining area made from a repurposed shipping container, located in a courtyard of Munich’s historic Old Academy building.</p>
<p>No word yet on if the bistro is set to make its way down under, but we’ve got all our fingers and toes crossed! Tell us in the comments below, would you be interested in dining at an Aldi restaurant?</p>
