Remarkable Restaurant

Stephan Krogmann is the new master of the kitchen at the Schlosshotel Münchhausen – in emphatically light classic French cuisine, steeled at La Vie in Osnabrück, at the Aschauer Residenz and at the Klaus Erfort guest house, from where he also brought his sous chef with him, and most recently at Victor & Victoria in Berlin. In addition to a pronounced aroma and clear structure of the plates, the fine tartlets at the start and the excellent sauces (the deep game stock, for example, was refined with melted goose liver and thickened with venison blood) in the 10-service menu – including aperitifs and petit fours – are particularly convincing. The best ingredients (langoustine from the Faroe Islands, brill from Saint-Guénolé, Challans duck from Gérard Burgaud, but also Husum salt marsh lamb) meet precise kitchen technology and a magnificent backdrop - the Renaissance castle from 1507 shines in new floral splendour in the dining room of the HILMAR, the other rooms of the house are also spectacular and an overnight stay is recommended for this reason alone.
