This meal was outstanding. Each plate and paired beverage are carefully thought out, with fresh grown or picked ingredients. Every time a new dish comes out, it is explained thoroughly by the chef in German to the room, or English to your individual table.

You’ll see there are only a couple of reservation times each day, because the experience does take a full 4 hours. We were lucky and got on the waitlist the day before, and a space did open up. I’ve read that reservations are usually booked months in advance though, so consider this if you’re planning a trip.

Unless you’re dying to try the selected German wines, I would opt for the non-alcoholic pairing (shared between two people to save some money).  Each venerate is so creative and tastes match the plates perfectly.  Also, water is not included in the meal or beverage pairing, so you’ll have that additional charge.

NOTE that the drink pairing does NOT start until the main courses start, so you will be charged for the first glass or two of wine. This was not shared in the moment, so I would ask first when offered a beverage.

I was shocked when the bill came, perhaps naively, because of the above few sentences.

If you have the money and time to spend, I would 1000% recommend this experience!  And pick the chef’s brain with all your questions :)

Incredible experience. The in depth explanations of the head chef are one of a kind. Perfectly catering to English speaking guests.
Should easily deserve 2 or 3 Michelin stars instead of the 1 they currently have.

The place is small, kind of cosy but there is really not much space inside, especially in the staircase.

The service is great and the waiters were very much attending.

The food is overall good and we appreciated the concept of using regional and seasonal ingredients, but there were two major problems leading to this average rating :
1.	The food, but especially the broths were simply too salty
We are used to go to Michelin-starred restaurant, and we never had such salty food.
2.	The wine pairing has to be rethought totally
You are serving about 10 dishes and for every dish, 1 glass of wine. This is far too much.

At least show the menu that will be served and the wines that will accompany them before to start, so everyone knows what they will get and if they want to skip a glass or two.

Also please note that the prices for the menus and the wine pairing were not informed at the beginning of the dinner.
For transparency, you should disclose information before dinner starts.

The most intense, flavorful and extraordinary food you can get. Everything is vegan and locally sourced, most of the ingredients are grown in their own meadow. (Many of the guests are not vegan, but they are in search for something outstanding.) There is a single seasonal menu with 7 courses and 2 pre-courses. The chef is a genius -- "plant-based alchemy" may be an apt term for his art, extracting aromas out of trees and flowers, making gels, foams, combining the ancient with the modern in techniques and flavors. Two tips: take the alcohol-free drinks with the menu because you'll never find anything like these unique creations anywhere else (the staff will, on request, happily give you small tasting portions of the wine menu if you have FOMO); and dare to get in contact with the other guests of the small group you're dining with 😁 you may find extraordinary connections.

One word: perfection!!

We've been there on a Saturday in August. From the very beginning, being greeted with a superb Apéro at the bar, getting to know our host of the evening and a first introduction to the small bunch of other guests, over all those insanely well thought-out and precisely crafted courses, paired with fitting wines (only tasted on sip each) or alcohol-free but no less flavourful alternatives, to chef Ricky's (+ team) warm but professional way of guiding us through this exceptional experience.. thanks you all, and we'll be back.
