The location of this restaurant on the fringes of the city centre may be rather unremarkable, but the same can by no means be said of the food! This place's status as a city institution is well-deserved. Chef-patron Christof Lang has been welcoming diners since 1981, and in Max Schafirstein – a long-standing member of the kitchen team – he now has a dedicated partner at his side. Alongside their team led by chef Andreas Schaffrath, they deliver classic cuisine rooted in French tradition and enhanced with modern elements. The dishes are pleasingly pared back, full of flavour and place outstanding ingredients centre stage. Compositions such as Coco de Paimpol with parsley and half a grilled, glazed lobster impress with their aromatic intensity. Comprising three to six courses, the set menu has a variety of options. Your meal can be accompanied by one of the fine French labels that form the core of the attractive wine list. The highly attentive front-of-house team is charming and friendly; everything runs smoothly and effortlessly. A shorter set menu is available at lunchtime.
