The story

Lou im Cavalierhaus: Michelin-Recommended Modern Cuisine in Cottbus

A Setting in Branitz Park

Lou im Cavalierhaus occupies a historic building within the Fürst Pückler Park Branitz in Cottbus. The surrounding parkland, a masterpiece of landscape architecture, provides a serene backdrop for dining. The restaurant itself is part of the Cavalierhaus complex, which also houses a café and a small pension.

Modern, Seasonal Cuisine

The kitchen focuses on modern cuisine prepared with seasonal ingredients. While the menu changes to reflect what is fresh, the approach is grounded in clear flavours and precise technique. The restaurant’s dedication to quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, placing it among the notable tables in the region.

A Welcoming Atmosphere

Guests can choose to dine indoors in a refined setting or, when weather permits, enjoy the outdoor seating that overlooks the park. The restaurant also offers private rooms for events, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The service is described as warm and attentive, with a team that values genuine hospitality.

Beyond the Restaurant

The Cavalierhaus estate extends the experience with a café called Der kleine Cavalier, which serves light dishes, homemade ice cream, and cake in a freiluft (open-air) setting. For those wishing to stay longer, three individually designed pension rooms offer accommodation themed around the life of Prince Pückler, with views of the castle or park.

Lou im Cavalierhaus is a destination that combines culinary ambition with a deep sense of place—a modern restaurant in a historic park, recognised by Michelin for its consistent quality.
