A breathtaking view of the North Sea, the Elbe world shipping route and the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea forms the backdrop for first-class cuisine served in the compact fine dining restaurant of Badhotel Sternhagen. This is the domain of Marc Rennhack, whose modern cooking builds on classical culinary foundations. He uses high-quality ingredients and has a knack for creating delicious dishes with just a few simple components. His sauces are particularly noteworthy. With consummate skill, he injects dishes with creative flair and conjures up interesting flavour combinations. His set menu comes in three to seven courses (there is also a vegetarian version). At five elegantly laid tables, diners are served cordially and attentively. The walk-in wine cellar – 3m below sea level – holds a large selection of fine wines.
