The restaurant has a beautiful interior and an extremely nice patio (not used because of a cold rain). The menu selection is limited but the preparation and ingredients are top notch.

We partook in the Klee menu a few weeks ago during our travel to Cologne. What really stood out to…read moreme was the aesthetics and vision of the menu. Each dish had varying degrees of sweet, sour, umami, bitter, fat, and salty. Some of the presentation were quite whimsical like the origin of the pretzel shape and its presentation, and some were stunning like the rose in smoke and the chocolate course resembling multiple galaxies. In terms of flavor though, we thought most of the dishes tasted good but nothing really stood out as amazing. I remember the visuals more than the taste of any particular dish. This is my own preference, but I think in trying to showcase all 6 tastes in each dish, all of the dishes ended up sort of blending together without much character or that explosion of flavors that make you close your eyes to savor each bite. I also liked the ambiance here - we had a view of the river from our seat and were surrounded my modern art and meditation music. We also did the wine pairing, but I actually thought the sekt we ordered off the menu was the best. The pairing wines had a great vision and introduced different grape varietals based on when they were first harvested, but we did not particularly think they complemented the dishes nor all that delicious. They also had a great concept of producing a map with QR codes that you can read more about the wines, but unfortunately were outdated so the finishing wines were a little lost on us. Also a heads up that the tasting menu lasted almost 5 hours, which is the longest from my experience. If you're with good company, that's fine but good to know if you have other evening plans.

Für meinen Besuch habe ich beschlossen, auf das verfügbare "Kleeblatt" (vegetarisches Menü) und die…read morealkoholfreie Kombination zu verzichten, um das klassische "Ochsen" (Fleisch- und Fischmenü mit Wein) zu genießen ... obwohl es sich bei beiden um "Überraschungsmenüs" handelt . Die Idee von Chefkoch Gottschlich für das Restaurant besteht darin, jedes Gericht so zu komponieren, dass es alle sechs Hauptgeschmacksrichtungen enthält: süß, salzig, sauer, bitter, Umami und Fett. Von den Amuse-Bouches bis zu den abschließenden Petit Fours ist ihm das offensichtlich hervorragend gelungen. Besonders gut hat mir das Kalbfleisch, das Knochenmark mit Kalbsbries in Tortellini und der Trüffelschaum gefallen. Ich war auch mit dem Teller mit Jakobsmuscheln, Kaviar, schwarzer Limette und Rhabarber zufrieden. Die Kellner wirkten entspannt und waren äußerst hilfsbereit. Ich grinste über die Uniform, die das Küchenpersonal trug, als es in den Speisesaal kam, um zu helfen. Ein jüngerer Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) würde die Lederschürzen, Riemen und Schnallen wahrscheinlich gutheißen. Nach dem Essen sprach ich draußen mit ein paar Gästen, während ich auf den Taxiservice wartete. Anscheinend habe ich keines der vegetarischen Gerichte nah genug gesehen, um auf die Bemühungen der Köche hinweisen zu können. Mein Verlust. Jetzt muss ich zurückkehren, um die "Klee"-Gerichte zu probieren. / For my visit, I decided to pass on the available "clover," (vegetarian menu) and non-alcoholic pairing to enjoy the classic "ox," (meat and fish menu with wine)... although both are "surprise" menus. Chef Gottschlich's idea for the restaurant is to compose each dish to contain all 6 primary tastes: sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, and fat. From the amuse bouches to the final Petit fours, he has obviously succeeded admirably. I particularly enjoyed the veal, bone marrow with sweetbreads in tortellini and truffle foam. I was also pleased with the scallop, caviar, black lime and rhubarb plate. The servers seemed relaxed and were extremely helpful. I did smirk at the uniform that the kitchen staff was wearing when they came onto the dining floor to assist. A younger Martin Gore (DM) would probably approve of the leather aprons, straps and buckles. After my meal, I spoke with a couple of diners outside while waiting for the taxi service. Apparently, I did not see any of the vegetarian dishes close enough to remark on the efforts of the chefs. My loss. Now I have to return to try the "clover" dishes. 2023 09 01. M2.

The Tante Anna is located conveniently in the historic center (Altsstadt) of Düsseldorf. It is…read moresituated in a historic building and has a long tradition in Düsseldorf. It underwent a extensive renovation last year and only opened recently again for business. The setting is very traditional with a lot of antique decor, making a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Service here is impeccable. Front of house Tobias Ludowigs and his team make every effort to make the guest feel special and well taken care of. As you can imagine the wine list is extensive covering all parts of the world but concentrating on Germany and France. The list of different Riesling is out of the world, I have never seen such an incredible choice. Even smaller vineyards are listed and you can find some rare vintages which are hard to get. The choice of German pintos (Spätburgunder) is extensive as well, all the big guns are on the offering. If you like French wines, don´t go elsewhere. They offer some of the best Bordeaux in the world and still have some older vintages. Best of all is that their wines in general are good value for money and you will sure find a wine that suits your budget. If you need help with your selection ask the sommelier Tobias Ludowigs. He's like a living wine encyclopedia and can tell you anything about the wines on his list. Food wise they have 3 different menu, a tasting, a German and vegetarian one. All include an appetizer, soup, sherbet, main and desert. You can skip the soup if you want, you can interchange courses from the different menu, they are really flexible here. Simon Nauels and his kitchen team do an excellent job. The food is well presented, portions are not too small, everything is delicate and done to perfection. It is always a great experience coming here. For me the Tante Anna has michelin star potential. It is inexpensive in comparison to other restaurants of this quality.

I have been coming to In Den Ouden Vogelstruys since 2007 when I had my first experience in…read moreMaastricht and I dare say it is one of the reasons I return. In Den Ouden Vogelstruys is a brown cafe with various claims to historical permanence. Take your pick 1700's...1800's...there's even a canon ball stuck in the outside facade labeled 1670. There are a half-dozen bars on this block all beckoning for your hard earned (or recently converted euros). I have sampled them all and In Den Ouden is by far my cuppa. This time I was not alone and wanted to get a second opinion. Kate was not disappointed. We ordered the 4 cheese plate (Limburger, Brie, goat cheese and bleu). Two wedges of each along with a French roll, 4 slices of fruit and nut bread, apple syrup and a salad of grapes, walnuts and rocket all for $13.50. We accompanied this with her local herbed liqueur coffee and my Le Trapp. We had anticipated this to be a simple bar snack but in fact turned into our lunch of the day. We in particular loved the paring of the apple syrup over the bleu cheese and the Brie on the fruit/nut bread. All was yummy and beautifully presented. This was a perfect meal to linger over and be thankful for your blessings. We will come back.
