Gault&Millau's review 2025

Along and in the middle of the inner courtyard of the historic Städtische Kaufhaus, the Max Enk has been offering upscale international cuisine based on regional products in a classic-modern ambience since 2012, which are carefully selected and prepared. True to the motto "Quality is not a luxury, but the basis", herbs, edible flowers and vegetables are now also grown in the hotel's own garden; the other producers are described in detail. On the menu, citrusy marinated halibut tartare on beetroot carpaccio, a skin-roasted pike-perch fillet with roasted black pudding, coriander cream sauerkraut or the well-made semi-liquid Valrhona cake with Kalamansi sorbet. If you like it more unpretentious, order the house classic Leipziger Allerlei and is also spot on. Friendly service.
