Gault&Millau's review 2025

Thorsten Bender has created a bistro in the immediate vicinity of his gourmet restaurant "Sein", which inspires with a modern, creative reinterpretation of classic dishes. In a stylish but relaxed ambience, the cuisine comes with clear lines and high-quality ingredients. Guests can look forward to creations such as goat's cheese cream with dried figs and honey almonds or a fine poultry liver terrine with figs, lamb's lettuce and salted butter brioche. The braised venison ragout with apple and red cabbage, hand-scraped spaetzle and cranberry jus is another highlight. The whole thing is rounded off with a carefully selected wine list. The lunch menu, consisting of two or three courses for 28 to 33 euros, is just as tempting as the evening 3 to 4-course menu for 48 to 58 euros - a perfect interplay of enjoyment and relaxed atmosphere.
