The story
In the historic half-timbered town of Celle, a short walk from the Renaissance castle, Schapers Restaurant offers a dining experience rooted in tradition and seasonal awareness. The atmosphere is described as stylish and cozy, providing a fitting backdrop for the kitchen’s approach to classic cuisine.
The restaurant is part of a small, family-run hotel, and its menu reflects a commitment to regional and Mediterranean accents. Dishes change with the seasons, and the kitchen emphasizes high-quality ingredients. The wine list is carefully selected to complement the food, featuring options from German wine regions like the Pfalz, Rheinhessen, and Baden.
Seasonal menus, such as the Christmas offering, showcase the kitchen’s range. A recent menu included a carrot-ginger soup, followed by choices like rosy duck breast with pointed cabbage and port wine sauce, or a veal roast. Fish options, such as zander fillet on spinach with a Riesling sauce, and vegetarian ricotta-spinach ravioli are also featured. The regular menu continues this theme with dishes like braised beef brisket in red wine, French quail breast with beluga lentils, and homemade potato-ricotta gnocchi.
Schapers has earned recognition in the Michelin guide, a testament to its consistent quality and refined approach to classic cuisine. It is a place where the food speaks for itself, prepared with care and a respect for its ingredients. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Sundays, opening for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday.
