Chef's Restaurant

How good humour and unaffected friendliness of the service staff have a positive effect on one's own mood is shown in an exemplary way by the young team in the eins44 restaurant, which has pitched its tents in a former distillery hall. In the purist industrial design with minimalist chic, everyone gets in a good mood, here there is an infectious feel-good ambience thanks to the attentive and relaxed service. The uncomplicated cuisine of Julius Nowak, which starts the menu with cool, refreshingly pickled melon, young goat's cheese and a pumpkin vinaigrette, is just as exhilarating. The kohlrabi served with Greek yoghurt, aromatically spiced up with sweet apricot and roasted sunflower seeds, is just as exhilarating. We would have liked the confit cod served with garden beans and hearty guanciale to be a bit more glassy, but the savory broth was a bit too much of the bean flavour in the end. The slice of acorn pig was perfectly fried, wonderfully juicy and tender. Harmonizes excitingly with the aromatically fruity cherry jus, a well-placed counterpoint. Tasteful harmony at dessert, the pâtisserie serves elderflower ice cream, a refreshing berry soup and a curd dumpling like from the Viennese confectionery. Additional bonus for the good, unobtrusive wine recommendation, which does not charge small "tasting glasses".
