The Best Restaurants in Hesse
Outstanding! Andreas Krolik shines with incredibly aromatic vegan compositions. But he also refines the well-known gourmet products. The ambience, service and wine list are also excellent.
Marcus Langer is the new man at the helm of the gourmet restaurant in the boutique hotel "Kronenschlösschen" - and the culinary class has noticeably picked up speed. The 40-year-old impressively demonstrates how profound, lively and aromatic classic French haute cuisine can be when it is given a contemporary twist. His deep-flavored sauces, stocks and vinaigrettes in particular set wonderful accents and serve as an aromatic bridge to the excellent products, which Langer stages with a clear signature. This straightforward, aromatically concentrated style is already evident in the small appetizers: cauliflower heads in a simply perfectly spicy Thai curry mayonnaise and a delicately aromatic broccoli mousse open the menu successfully. The first course presents marinated yellowtail mackerel in two textures - as a tartare and as a tender fillet - accompanied by celery rolls and surrounded by a foam of herbs, kefir and lime caviar. This is followed by a foam soup of parsley root, refreshingly flavored with Amalfi lemon and refined with sunflower seed crunch: unpretentious, but excellent. Then come the medallions of Atlantic lobster on Jerusalem artichoke confit with elderberry-caper vinaigrette and the wonderfully tender venison, ennobled by a sauce of liver and chocolate. This is accompanied by a praline filled with creamed savoy cabbage and braised salsify. The finale is followed by great patisserie art: marigold ice cream, variations of quince in jus, mousse and gel as well as mille-feuille of fromage blanc. Magnificent!
Great location in the middle of the forest. Many winemakers and restaurateurs are among the happy regulars. That says a lot about the excellent cuisine and the impressive wine selection.
Even after more than 50 years, it is still as vital, popular and good as ever. Great French cuisine in keeping with the times and an excellent wine selection in a relaxed bistro atmosphere. Top service. Go there!
Great idea: guests are introduced to the green dining experience in the dining room in the greenhouse, surrounded by mint, lemongrass and mandarin trees. Denis Feix is in top form.
Anyone watching Masaru Oae at work from the counter will get a feel for his great craftsmanship. Authentic Japanese cuisine with European influences at its finest.
In the redesigned Sommerfeld, the owners continue where they left off in the wine sense: with very good, expressive cuisine; now a little lighter and less complicated. Top wines.
Excellent food, warm service and a relaxed atmosphere make the restaurant a favorite spot. Austrian classics alongside Mediterranean, Asian and American elements.
It's great that Carmelo Greco can still improve. In the cider stronghold of Sachsenhausen, the Sicilian shines with authentic and creative Italian cuisine made from the best ingredients.
Christian Steska is a master at skillfully combining regional products with exotic ingredients. As a result, his dishes are full of aromatic excitement. A culinary place to be.

Erik Arnecke sets the tone with his ambitious and creative cuisine. All dishes are aromatically well thought out and at the same time harmoniously balanced. The wine list leaves nothing to be desired.
Radically vegan and maximum flavor. Ricky Saward is the benchmark in this genre in Germany. The restaurant would probably always be full even if it were three times the size.
