Goodbye self-discipline! The motto for the eleven courses served during an entertaining evening at the "Restaurant Mohn" in Hohnhorst, Lower Saxony. The flamed Baltic zander, glassy at the core, melts in the mouth and harmonises perfectly with the rich nut butter foam. The tart and sour freshness of a blackberry sorbet with yoghurt foam is gently rounded off with sweet woodruff jelly. The warm poppy seed bread, accompanied by a tempting fig leaf cream, seems to have been baked by the calorie devil himself in his oven hell. Not everything is perfect, but the great thing is that it doesn't have to be. Host Laura Überschär and head chef Joris Hogervorst only opened their gourmet restaurant in September. So the highlights mentioned at the beginning are doubly impressive. The couple not only want to assert themselves in the demanding field of fine dining, but also to give this concept a light touch - just like in the Netherlands, where they have worked in several top restaurants. The service in the "Mohn" is accordingly relaxed, warm and attentive. The reduced half-timbered flair of the restaurant does without decoration. Only the kitchen itself will not be without decoration in the near future: The gourmet guide judges are unlikely to fail to notice the flavourful perfection of the dishes served here. Only the wine list is lacking in quality, but the offer is complemented by a non-alcoholic accompaniment of juice and tea creations.
