Kettner's Kamota

Steirisch, österreichisch · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Chef Jürgen Kettner and his associate, Wiebke Meier, call their concept "New Austrian": Austrian tradition meets modern style in both the trendy, cosy setting and the food. With some originality, the Styrian-born chef uses excellent ingredients to create his own take on dishes from his homeland, which includes a smattering of Asian influences. There is a set menu with four or six courses as well as an additional pub menu with classics such as Backhendl (breaded fried chicken) or Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancakes). The short wine list includes a variety of organic labels and options by the glas

This place has been run by the Stemberg family since 1864. Chef-patron Sascha Stemberg represents the fifth generation at the helm, and he works with the same passion and commitment as his father before him! The restaurant's unique concept allows for plenty of choice, with a four- to six-course set menu – featuring tempting dishes such as "Tristan rock lobster in memory of Thailand" or "Charcoal-grilled Irish Wagyu-beef bavette" – as well as à la carte gourmet dishes.

Nelson Müller's fine dining restaurant, Schote, may have moved to Bergisch Gladbach, but this cherished Essen-based establishment at Rüttenscheider Stern U-Bahn station has stayed put.

Sitting at high tables, diners tuck into delicious dishes ranging from currywurst to turbot, prepared in the centrally positioned open kitchen. Friendly service. Tip for motorists: public multi-storey car park around the corner.
