Dining

Genuss-Apotheke

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€620 m

All that remains of the pharmacy that once stood here is the reference to it in this establishment's name. These days, a restaurant with a fresh, modern concept awaits you behind its large windows. Seated at beautifully laid tables in a bright, minimalist interior, diners find their gaze drawn to the open kitchen. Here, chef-patron Raimar Pilz cooks creatively with top-notch ingredients. He always successfully incorporates piquant herbs in his subtle and nuanced dishes, such as "grilled scallop in its shell, celeriac, lauchasche seasoning" or "steamed perch, mussel-whey emulsion, dill oil".

Le Murenberg

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€19.5 km

Melanie and Denis Schmitt fulfilled their dream of owning their own restaurant when they opened Le Murenberg over 10 years ago. As a pastry chef, she takes care of desserts but is also the charming head of service. Donning his apron in the kitchen is Denis Schmitt, who, hailing from Alsace, feels a connection to French cuisine – we recommend the "Breton Weeks" held in October, for example. His modern-inspired classic dishes are as much about the excellent craftsmanship as they are about the high-quality produce. Feel free to steal a glance into the kitchen. Incidentally, the chef comes from a

The historical Rührberger Hof estate, which is home to this long-established family business, has been around since 1902. The fact that it was once used for farming is no longer apparent today. The pleasingly modern interior is an attractive setting in which to savour the excellent cuisine of brothers Christoph und Felix Düster. This is based on classical foundations and takes its cue from the region and the seasons. At lunchtime, the reasonably priced set menu of the day is very popular.
