Gault&Millau's review 2025

The married couple Ann-Kristin and Thomas Wohlfeld, who together run the Handwerk restaurant in Hanover, have consolidated the quality of their restaurant in recent years. They have dovetailed their two professions in the best possible way. She is responsible as a sommelier, he as head chef. The selection of wines cleverly picks up on the taste of the dishes. Sometimes the sommelier plays with the dishes, for example when the force of a red-fruity, robust and herbaceous Bordeaux from Château d'Aiguilhe with sweet-and-sour cranberry jam and leg ragout of Odefey pasture chicken increases even more. Sometimes she gives the high-quality goods on her husband's plates more contour when she caresses a fleshy old tomato variety such as Vierländer Platte with raspberry emulsion and spicy Belper tuber with a salty, woody Rioja cuvée made from the white grape varieties Viura and Malvasía of Bodegas Ostatu - this also fits stylistically well with the self-confidently reduced product cuisine of the restaurant. A visit is fun.
