维瑟船酒店

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.

First opened as a bakery 100 years ago, this family-run establishment is now in its fourth generation. Hans-Jörg Dunker and his team have long been synonymous with quality and Westphalian cuisine with an international twist. The restaurant interior is attractive and cheerful, having been given a skilful modern makeover, but care has been taken to leave the traditional character of the building intact. One of the chef's specialities is the wonderful fish and shellfish soup with aioli, bread and Parmesan. A gorgeous terrace for summer. There is also a charming hall available for festivities.

Bearing its name of old, this modern restaurant carries on the tradition of the original 19C Zum Adler inn. Today it is lovely and light inside, with a smart and minimalist decor. The focus lies squarely on high-quality meat, such as Wagyu beef steak. Fish and vegan options also available. At lunchtime there is a smaller offer with a reasonably priced lunch menu - but you can also choose from the steak menu.
