Chef's Restaurant
What a dining room! The Europäischer Hof is located in the middle of Heidelberg, and the Kurfürstenstube is located in the middle of the Europäischer Hof: herringbone parquet flooring, white-covered tables, a huge coffered ceiling: the ambience could not be more dignified, and not much has really changed in the Kurfürstenstube since the first house on the square (which it undoubtedly is today) opened in 1865. One would think that not even on the menu, because Nordic chic or new German cuisine were not en vogue in the century before last, people looked to Paris. Daniel Stelling, the man who is now responsible for the four- to six-course menu and the extensive à la carte selection, certainly does. However, he does it with a contemporary eye and skill, and so after the selection of bread, which is not fashionably served as a separate course here, but from the outset, we enjoy a marinated slice and tartare of blue fin tuna with edamame, silken tofu, sorbet of Sudachi limes and qiandao caviar or breast and leg of challans duck with deep sauce rouennaise, celery cream, sautéed autumn trumpets and blackberries. What the menu describes in detail comes to the table in exactly the same way: the turbot gently cooked, the sugar snap peas glazed, the sabayon of bouchot mussels whipped creamy and thick. Those who dine here don't like experiments, love harmony and gentle aromas – and do well with them. The cheese comes from the trolley (Waltmann, of course), the service is charming and professional, the wine list extensive. In summer, you can dine in the summer restaurant or on the terrace with a smaller menu. Bon appétit!
