Heldmann & Herzhaft
Originally the home of an industrialist, this smart 19C villa is the perfect backdrop for the delicious cuisine of chef-patron Ulrich Heldmann. Diners choose from a varied seasonal menu and à la carte dishes based on fresh produce – and the "Menu Surprise" Wed-Thu. The setting is truly lovely, with its high ceilings, elegant hardwood floors and refined table settings; in summer, tables on the terrace are of course particularly coveted. And then there is the experienced, attentive and pleasingly laid-back service provided by a team under the management of hostess Petra Heldmann. The restaurant
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.4/5 · 64 reviews
Located in a historic villa in Remscheid, Heldmann & Herzhaft offers classic and country cuisine. Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, fresh ingredients, and skilled preparation, particularly highlighting dishes like goose and duck breast. The ambiance is described as elegant, sober, and well-lit, though some find it less cozy or difficult to locate. Service is generally noted as friendly and flexible under Petra Heldmann’s direction, but occasional feedback mentions staff appearing distant or unresponsive. While the overall rating is strong, negative comments cite poor value for money and limited menu options. It suits diners seeking refined traditional cooking in a stately setting, provided they prioritize culinary execution over warmth or cost-efficiency.
Suitable for diners seeking refined traditional cooking and an elegant setting who are less price-sensitive.
