The "Favorite" hotel in Mainz is more than just a well-established and successful family business, it has been the gastronomic flagship of the state capital for years and a tireless driver of top culinary quality. With the new head chef Aniello Casalino, the Barth family has engaged a talented chef for the tastefully decorated gourmet restaurant, whose dishes are an imaginative and above all exciting mix of flavors based on classic French "haute cuisine". Sophisticatedly prepared from regional and seasonal products, rounded off here and there with a Mediterranean touch. The foie gras is a revelation of fine creaminess, aromatically dynamized with cherry gel and a truffle vinaigrette that is worth remembering. Aniello Casalino gives the scallop, generously decorated with Imperial caviar, an aromatic boost with a lasting saffron aioli and a great balsamic vinaigrette. Casalino also shows his knack for first-class sauces with the beurre blanc, which ennobles the succulent turbot under the pancetta-tomato crust. A deep truffle jus lends the Parmesan-crusted veal sweetbreads additional aromatic brilliance. The French Burgundy duck is imaginatively presented with spicy nduja cream, pickled Tropea onions, black garlic, nashi pear and refreshing orange jus. Excellent! The well-thought-out wine list leaves little to be desired, and the young service team succeeds brilliantly in providing the discreet presence and unobtrusive attention that make hospitality a feel-good experience.

Trier on the Moselle isn’t exactly known as a culinary mecca. This makes it all the more important that Christine and Wolfgang Becker, a couple of restaurateurs, have been tirelessly flying the flag for fine wine and dining culture here for decades. The owner has experienced great heights as a chef and entrepreneur, but has also weathered some deep lows. He doesn’t let that deter him, however, remaining true to his ingredient-driven culinary art rooted in French traditions, without chasing every passing trend. Hats off! With his small, dedicated, and friendly team, Wolfgang Becker runs both the down-to-earth wine bar and the elegant fine-dining restaurant in the design hotel built in 2007. The proximity to France and Luxembourg is reflected above all in the sauces—a subtly flavored chive nage accompanying the bacon-wrapped St. Peter’s fish, a chili-spiced lobster sauce with the scallops, or an umami-rich truffle jus with the U.S. Black Angus filet—which, unfortunately, was not served medium as requested. Even the langoustine royale, undeniably of the highest quality, could have stayed in the pan a few moments longer. A signature dish is Becker’s no-frills foie gras terrine, which we enjoyed as an amuse-praline on pumpernickel crumble. As for wine, we stuck with a juicy, full-bodied Chardonnay from the Becker estate, which paired effortlessly with all the fish and meat courses—just as effortlessly and with the same quick wit as Christine Becker, who also runs the winery and presided over her duties as sommelier.
