History
High quality cooking
Located since 1987 in an Art Nouveau villa near the Rhine, this restaurant is managed by Rainer-Maria Halbedel. It offers warm hospitality, a living-room ambiance, designer porcelain, and handwritten menus.
Concept Timelessness and contemporary relevance are not contradictory in the kitchen of the tireless Rainer Maria Halbedel. He successfully combines both in his menu, and all dishes are also available à la carte. Many ingredients come from Halbedel's private kitchen garden in the Eifel region. Culinary Style Building on a French foundation, Halbedel carefully introduces modern accents, such as a refreshing lemongrass broth with the Angus beef or sweet-and-sour passion fruit with the red mullet. The venison loin with beetroot and blackcurrant sauce has long been a classic. Equally familiar yet always charmingly reimagined: the dessert featuring Boskop apples with cream and salted caramel, this time finished with a hint of balsamic vinegar. Wine Halbedel's expertise shines through in the extensive wine list. The selection focuses particularly on wines from Germany and France, offering an astonishing depth of vintages at guest-friendly prices. Atmosphere Irmgard Halbedel transforms the villa into a welcoming home for her guests. She adds delightful touches to the elegant interior, which features a palette of greys and slate tones. A smoking lounge is available on the first floor. Verdict Genuine hospitality ensures a culinary experience with a high feel-good factor.
