You would not necessarily expect to find such a first-class restaurant in tranquil Piesport. It is thanks to Thomas Schanz that this small town on the Moselle, already known for its excellent wines, has also become a mecca for foodies. With his own distinctive style, he puts a modern spin on classic cuisine, harmoniously combining bold flavours. He is uncompromising when it comes to the quality of his ingredients. One signature dish not to be missed is the truffle egg; another tempting option is the tranche of wild turbot with porched gillardeau oysters, egg yolk pearls, water chestnuts and juniper sea extract. The team are dedicated to recommending just the right wine to you – including bottles from their own winery. Thomas Schanz is not only a trained chef but a hotelier as well, and there are lovely guestrooms in the hotel he has taken over from his parents.
