Gault&Millau's review 2025

No compromises. Anyone who hears Lukas Jakobi talking behind his counter – and it's hard not to hear him in the bustling hustle and bustle – will hear verve, energy and four-letter words (vulgo curses). Salty, sweet, spicy or sour – if one of the components is included, he brings it out. Of course, there is always one and Jakobi puts it in the limelight – whether it's salmon trout or Breton turbot in Hürther. Less is always possible, but hardly more. Saddle-solid in the aromatic worlds of the Orient, Occident and Asia, Jakobi tickles, nudges and provokes his visibly and audibly delighted guests. The fact that it sometimes only took half of the impressions to convince them of his concept can be forgiven for his (still) youthful charm. Anyone who is able to use the virtues and craftsmanship of the culinary art in this way will be followed by the guest with enthusiasm and anticipation for the coming years. Full, noisy, great, it's better to bring wine and pay corkage money.
