Gault&Millau's review 2025

What a location: Deep in the Hunsrück, time has obviously stood still, and definitely did so a few decades ago. Floral wallpaper, knick-knacks, tablecloths with large bows, dark green carpeting, ruffles here and ornaments there, all illuminated by a light installation from the Roaring Eighties Museum of Technology. And that's exactly how the cuisine is: opulent, full plates, lots of butter to the fish. Classic cuisine, almost Old Master sauces, the best ingredients. Hans Georg Lorscheider cooks like from the (good) festive cookbooks from mother's top kitchen shelf – and there's no reason why it shouldn't taste great in the here and now. Four kinds of foie gras at the start of the four- to six-course menu, of course also available à la carte, the juicy, baked Black Tiger shrimp in aromatic crustacean foam on risotto, the lobster for two tossed in brown butter, the pale pink duck breast with truffled puree in a deep jus: wonderful - and also worth a longer (time) journey, especially since wife Beate and son Mario humorously ensure good service and full wine glasses.
