The setting is lovely, whether under the elegantly painted period ceiling or out on the pretty terrace with its adjoining garden. The cooking is a modern take on classically based cuisine, enhanced with international influences. At the helm is Marcus Langer, most recently head chef at the Atelier Sanssouci in Radebeul. His set menu (with meat/fish or vegetarian choices) can be ordered in a five- to seven-course format – with the option to extend it to 10. Tempting dishes include cauliflower and "Périgord truffle délice with hazelnut vinaigrette and tarragon" or king crab tartlet with wild garlic and morels. The wine list ranks among the best in Germany. The bistro on site is an alternative to the fine dining restaurant. There are cosy, well-appointed guestrooms in the hotel of the same name.
