舒马赫乡村酒店

"Regional" is more than just a name; it's a guiding philosophy in this tradition-steeped town-centre restaurant, run by Timo Plenter and Ina Stuke since September 2022. The chef-patron draws on locally sourced seasonal ingredients, and partners with regional suppliers to craft his flavourful dishes. There is a four- to six-course set menu, which also comes in a vegetarian version. A cheese course can be added on. The interior decor marries modern and rustic elements. Warm and attentive service. In summer, a few tables are set up in front of the restaurant for al fresco dining.

Set in 10ha of parkland, Jagdhaus Eiden enjoys a wonderful location. The restaurant of the long-established hotel run by the Zur Brügge family specialises in modern cuisine with international influences. The menu is varied, making generous use of regional ingredients such as lake fish, game and vegetables. Diners are seated in a number of handsomely decorated rooms, including the bright, airy conservatory overlooking the lake. The gorgeous garden terrace is equally inviting. Tip: Combine your meal with a trip to the in-house casino.

This long-established restaurant enjoys a charming location in the town centre, directly on the Leda River – in summer, the lovely terrace with a view of the museum harbour beckons! Inside, you can expect all the trappings of a traditional inn with the odd rustic maritime touch. Mario E. Brüggemann, who began his culinary career here as an apprentice, prepares fresh, flavoursome cuisine rooted in regional traditions and seasonal produce. The menu features items such as shrimp soup, North Sea plaice fillets or a duo of venison. Lunch options are a little more limited.

Kevin Gideon and his restaurant have moved to a location outside the city centre, into premises that previously housed VINEO. Diners will be pleased to hear that the concept remains the same in the new space. The team is unchanged and the pared-back, modern style of the interior and of the food is also still present and correct. In their kitchen, which is visible through a glass partition, Kevin Gideon and his small team serve up a creative set menu (vegetarian version available); updated on a regular basis, it comprises three, five or seven courses. Friendly and professional service. In short
