Gault&Millau's review 2025

The Lou in the beautifully renovated Cavalierhaus in the Branitz castle park is a culinary jewel that masterfully combines tradition and modernity. Under the management of Tim Sillack, the restaurant has developed into a place that stylishly picks up on the spirit of "Lou" Prince Pückler, a well-known connoisseur. During the day, the Lou welcomes park and castle visitors, in the evening the restaurant is transformed into a stage for ambitious fine dining, which delights guests with creative menus and excellently coordinated dishes - as the rabbit roll, filled with morels, served with velvety parsley root puree and glazed turnips, proved. A Spanish wild-caught carabinero, glassy tempered, with black salsify tossed in duck lard and spicy rouille sauce, just as refined as the roasted sea bream fillet Royal, served on creamy lemon polenta, accompanied by Mediterranean vinaigrette with artichokes and a chorizo-sage foam – a tribute to the flavors of the south. The cuisine is characterized by the use of high-quality, seasonal and regional ingredients, prepared with precision craftsmanship and an innovative approach. The dishes testify to Sillack's talent for combining powerful aromas with elegant presentation.
