This is the second restaurant of the idyllically situated Hohenhaus hotel, a magnificent property steeped in history. The interior has a classic, rustic decor and a warm atmosphere – plus a lovely 18C tiled stove. The seasonal cuisine is based on premium ingredients, sourced from the region for the most part.

Owner Pelle Kossmann and his young team are committed to implementing their own culinary ideas here. The set menu changes every fortnight and is made with select seasonal ingredients sourced from regional producers; some of the livestock and vegetables are raised or grown exclusively for this restaurant. The chefs also adhere to the principle of nose-to-tail eating. The decor is sleek and modern, with a partially visible kitchen and friendly, laid-back service. Fixed charge for table water.

A location steeped in history in which to enjoy a meal! The lovingly restored building, which gives directly onto the market square, was once the mayor's residence and dates back to 1728.
