Description
Torben Tönsing, scion of a well-known family of restaurateurs in Herford, took over this restaurant from his parents in 2017. He focuses on contemporary cuisine that draws on both regional and international influences. The 17C half-timbered building has a charming atmosphere – food is served on different levels, and in summer the secluded terrace comes into its own. Excellent wine selection – they even have their own wine shop.
