Murrhardther Hof, a culinary institution since 1920, has launched an inspired new concept.

From your seat, you can even catch a glimpse of the open kitchen, where Moritz Bilsing and Emilio Löffler run the show. Dishes are clearly and thoughtfully composed – pared down to the essentials, almost to the point of minimalism. A fine example, with harmonious flavours and delicate contrasts, is the rolled turbot fillet: moist and tender, served
