Gault&Millau's review 2025

No more pasta: At the stylishly elegant Parkhotel in Gütersloh, Lukas Hoffmann now cooks a creative four- to six-course menu on a classic basis with strong Asian influences in the Bellini restaurant with the very best ingredients. Right at the start, an unusual and good unagi wagyu combination with kale and sour cream convinces and sets the tone for what the restaurant itself calls "East Westphalian feel-good cuisine". East Westphalia must be very, very far to the east, because the Japanese influences are the defining element in the ambitious menu of the young team. Hoffmann grills lake trout from Birnbaum on Binchotan charcoal and seasons it with Kyoto leek oil and oxalis, the venison comes with koji marinade and even the pear Helene turns out to be a nashi fruit. Other ingredients such as challans duck, hand-dipped scallops or kalamansi are also not from Japan, but are also not known for their occurrence in the Teutoburg Forest, but harmonize very well with the local ingredients that accompany them. All this at a very reasonable price. The wine list, on the other hand, may also increase significantly in terms of content.
