The story
At the Alter Meierhof hotel in Glücksburg, just outside Flensburg, the restaurant Meierei Dirk Luther is the culinary heart of the house. Here, chef Dirk Luther and his team practice a classic cuisine that has earned two Michelin stars every year since 2008. The kitchen’s philosophy is straightforward: precise preparation of the finest ingredients, with a frankophile inspiration that lends elegance to every plate.
The dining room is designed for the setting. Under chandeliers made of stylised branches, guests look out over the Flensburg Fjord. When the weather allows, the star menu moves to the Fördeterrasse, an outdoor terrace with a spectacular view of the water. The atmosphere is refined but welcoming, a place where the team’s authentic friendliness matches the ambition of the cooking.
The menu changes with the seasons, but the approach is constant. Dishes are built around exceptional produce, prepared with the technical skill that Michelin recognises as “excellent cooking.” The restaurant’s own website describes the experience as “gastronomic excellence” and “true craftsmanship,” and the wine list, noted for its depth, is chosen to complement the kitchen’s work.
Meierei Dirk Luther is open Wednesday through Saturday from 18:30. Reservations are essential.

Excellent cooking
In the elegant, light-filled setting, the view drifts through large windows to the Danish coast. The menu comprises up to eight courses of Dirk Luther's sophisticated and creative cuisine.
Concept Masterfully, Dirk Luther continues his Francophile haute cuisine in the stylishly renovated holiday hotel on the Förde. A menu of 6 or 8 courses. Culinary Style Miéral pigeon, Périgord truffle, Limousin lamb: France takes center stage here, with occasional excursions to the Danish neighbor—such as the Limford lobster, a fragrant and aromatic dish defined by a rich bisque, garam masala, and pickled butternut squash. The crispy-seared duck liver, meltingly tender and pure umami, rests in a concentrated shiitake jus alongside marinated Gillardeau oysters. The cod showcases a complex interplay of flavors, paired with Bellota ham (2019) and a kaffir lime beurre blanc. For dessert, the Passoa savarin with mango and coconut pairs perfectly with Prunotto’s Moscato d’Asti. An exquisite cheese selection by Volker Waltmann. Wine Sommelier Martin Kammann curates a wine list of just over 1,000 selections (focused on Champagne and Riesling), presenting an engagingly versatile and surprising wine journey. Atmosphere Light, muted tones in the new restaurant, cherrywood tables served without tablecloths, and polished, dedicated service. Verdict After its renovation, this consistently top-tier culinary destination in the north has successfully stepped into the modern era. Enjoy an aperitif on the terrace in summer.
